this side of the blue

so by this time tomorrow i think i should be COMPLETELY finished with my zine. yes!

i've been working on it nearly every night this week. and by "working on it", i don't mean a few minutes here or there, i mean all-out the whole night from the time i get home from work until 12 or 1 in the morning. and yesterday, i got home around 1:30pm [took half a day], so i pretty much worked on it for eight hours. damn!

so yeah. anyone reading this that is interested in making a zine, it isn't something to take lightly. it could take you months, maybe even a year, to finish it, actually. and mine is only 64 pages.

anyway! oh, school starts on Monday. which is part of the reason i've been rushing around this week trying to finish this. i'm going to be very busy starting Monday, something i have mixed feelings about. i can't tell yet how things are going to go this semester, but i hope i don't end up going crazy. i'm kinda nervous. i want to be able to handle it, so i can keep up pace and graduate, oh, in the next 10 years.

plus, if i can keep up and stay busy, well then that means i have less time to sit around doing nothing, less time to be depressed or lonely. also a good thing.

i'm trying to think if there's anything else worth mentioning... hm, i read 2 books last week: The Secret Garden [lovely], and Thirteen Reasons Why [hmm]. i wanted to finish another book before school, but yeah, doesn't look like that is going to happen. i'm like Rachael Ray, i take on too many things at once. only she never drops anything.

i watched an anime film recently, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and i really liked it. it was kind of weird/interesting, and i really liked the way it ended and it was cute, and i want to see the sequel [i think there will be one, anyway]. there is a prequel which i haven't seen yet, either. i was thinking about the movie Paprika the other day. how i really liked it because it was so weird/trippy and it had such weird characters and dialogue, but in all honesty the storyline was utter shit.

today Gwen was talking about how she can't wait to see the new Halloween 2 movie. what the fuck. the remake was awful. everything was obnoxious and loud and stupid and boring and awful. gave me a headache. and i know the original isn't particularly well-acted or anything, and it's all cheesy, and i don't really expect any kind of amazing performances in horror films, but... still. it's a classic. can i just say that without having to justify? yeah, i can.
