this is everything.

"So, what's new?"

I've heard that question at least 20 times since I began Life:Phase 2, aka college. It's been a pleasant transition, fortunately enough, but is still full of road bumps and rough patches. I've met good friends, I have an awesome roommate, and my family has helped me to keep from going crazy in the midst of all this "change."

My time at good 'ole GCSU has been filled with many memorable moments already, and several moments of stress with a capitol S. However, it has given me time to watch new movies, check out new shows, and listen to lotssss of new music.
Here are the musical highlights:
Portugal and the Man
Minus the Bear
Breathe Carolina
Jose Gonzales
Ivoryline
and anything else I can get from the awesome people I've met thus far.

As far as movies go, my absolute new favorite is P.S. I Love You. I watched it right after a particularly rough day, and barely had a dry eye throughout the entire film. The soundtrack is amazing, the acting is good, and the story line is one for the decades. I laughed, I cries (a lot), and then I slept reallyyyyy well afterwards. Give me any story with an Irish musician madly in love and Harry Connick Jr., and you've got yourself a winner.

Oh, tv shows. There's hardly a night where I don't hang out with my roommate and watch some amazinggg shows. All I can say is Cappie & Casey, LC, Jim & Pam, and Chuck & Blair. I love them all. I have also rediscovered my love of Veronica Mars, and have been watching Season Two all weekend. Here are some highlights:
"Veronica: Hey dad, there's a Porsche outside that parked 4 inches into the fire zone. What do you say we have it clamped, you know, just for funsies? You grab the lawn chairs, I'll pop some popcorn...Seriously, you blow 100 grand on a car, I guess you think you can just park anywhere. I wonder if the sense of entitlement came standard...
Dean O'Dell: It did, and while were on the subject on entitlement, maybe one day you can parlay your complimentary $100,000 education into a lucrative career of you very own.
Keith: Uh, Veronica, why don't you go...
Veronica: Metriculate myself? Yes..."

I guess all that's left to say is this is everything.
