Getting Old: I survived my 30th birthday! My fraternity brothers and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings and we had delicious hot-wings to celebrate. My mom sent me a crazy card that read something like “Oh, if only I could be 30 again - wait - I was unemployed and pregnant” which nearly made me drive off the road I was laughing so hard. But I regained control because I didn’t want to make the news as one of those senile old men that drives into a crowded market and kills half-a-dozen people.

Travel/Shenanigans: So today we’re going to California… to SoCal to Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Disney this weekend.. I’m driving someone else’s car and there are five of us… I hope I can survive This will be my first trip to California - granted I’m going to be in LA which most people just kinda roll their eyes about - but whatever - its one more state I can add to my list of places visited. Several of my classmates told me I should visit the San Francisco-and-north region of the state, which is fine and dandy but that isn’t the goal of this weekend I think I’ll just get a job this spring and buy a motorcycle and tour the west this summer with a tent and my camera. THAT would be awesome.

Travel: I got my passport back already today - one full week’s turn-around time - I think that’s pretty impressive.

School: I sought the advice of the sages, and they pretty much agreed with what I want to do: Drop the Interdisciplinary Studies BIS degree and just focus on the Photography BFA degree. I can still do a sociology minor, but this clears the way for me to graduate on time which at this point is a major goal. It also frees up my schedule a bit to focus more on art classes and opens the way for me to find an internship/job next year during my (final) senior year at ASU. w00t.

Battlestar Cracklactica: SciFi channel is advertising a lot for their new Battlestar Galactica mini-series which means one thing: its coming in December. They’re advertising it so heavily that I hope they don’t OVER hype it.. but who am I kidding - I’ll love it even if its ridiculous.

ZOMBIES: Speaking of ridiculous - on Monday some of the brothers and pledges went to go see Resident Evil: Extinction. Amazing Zombie movie. Plus, as in all her other films, you get to see Milla Jovovich’s ta-ta’s.
