Sad Affairs
I was hoping that the roommate drama had ended. Boy, was I was wrong. The police just left my apartment.

I’m not going to get in depth here, but someone I’ve lived with for a very long time has finally moved all of their stuff out of our apartment. I’ve chosen to stay out of the final infantile quarrel that has ensued.
My other roommates are elated and they’re getting new furniture within...

Bluetopia
Once again, Bluetopia proved to be the greatest night of my month.
My knees are shot. I can’t explain how much fun I have dancing at these things. Let’s just say I count down the days until the next one. The only bad thing about it is that it’s only once a month.

Top 10
I recently read this: http://www.sentientdevelopments.com/2009/06/top-10-existential-movies-of-all-time.html
It’s a list of the top 10 existential movies ever made. I’ve never really seen existentialism as a genre of film, but no matter. While the list is pretty decent, I decided to make my own list from the “genre”. The rankings are based on my personal connection to...
