what just happened?

the japanese will never cease to amaze me. first, it was godzilla, which was actually pretty cool. then they came out with these things, which are just plain weird. then, they went and made casshern. i had seen the trailer, and it looked pretty tight. and then i watched it. and wondered what had just happened to my mind. i'm still not entirely sure what it was about. there was a bunch of WTF mate, with a few freaking awesome fight scenes inserted into it. its probably worth watching once... after that, i just want to find a way to take all the cool fight scenes out and put them together. it will probably make about the same amount of sense.

in more positive news, i went to a jazz club the other night, and that was pretty sweet. especially considering that it happened on accident. i had just walked a friend across campus, and decided to stop by mac to see what pat was up to. when i got there, i ran into some other friends, who asked "are you coming?" i replied "what?" and they said "yes, you are." i said ok, pat showed up, we all piled into a car, and next thing i know we're in downtown spokane at a jazz club. it ruled. normally i don't listen to jazz music, but this place had a really great atmosphere and some cool music. if i ever remember the name of it, i'll recommend it.

in less positive news, i managed to get sick. i may be committing the fallacy of false cause, but i blame the cubans. on tuesday, i went out smoking with a friend, and the next day we both had nasty sore throats (and i didn't even inhale...) it just got worse from there. i think yesterday was the worst. i was drugged up pretty much all day, and i went through 5 or 6 cups of tea and nearly an entire box of kleenex. it's mainly just annoying, but it also makes it harder to think clearly, which really sucks when you're trying to do lots of reading and come up with a topic for a paper on mexican-American immigration. so i'm off to attempt to do that now

enjoy your weekend, avoid cubans like the plague, and be careful out there among them english.
