Arch Enemies of Timothy Leary

I haven't post anything in weeks, so now I'm using that fact to post something new. What have I done in weeks that is interesting? I got time to venture up North to play soccer and eat disgusting food at a chain Mexican restaurant which is not Taco Bell or Chipotle. I also shared a car with two overly obnoxious music listeners and one reckless driver. Aside from that, there is possibly nothing newer. Except maybe the new discovery of Michel Gondry! 
Michel Gondry. Wow. What a dude. I've seen Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind and I've wanted to watch the Science of Sleep for Ages. Now with Be Kind, Rewind (I've got the wicked screensaver), Michel Gondry is now on my radar, even though he should have been there since 2004. And what took me so long? Well, many superhero movies came out, so I had to fall in love with Bryan Singer's works, well until Superman Returns and Valkyrie sorta both fail, so then the three amigos, meaning Alfonso Cuaron, Guillermo del Toro, and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu just had to appear. And those three are wonderful, but with Michel Gondry, the four are wonderful! I recently watched Gondry solve a Rubik's cube with his feet and then his nose and then Jack Black with 10 Rubik's Cubes. Then I saw the sweded trailer of Be Kind Rewind. I have to say, I like the sweded version better than the original version. Sorry Jack and Mos Def, but you guys can't beat Michel Gondry. 
I also realized how many new projects I have to do. First off, I have to doodle. And it's for an icon but I get to choose whatever subject I want to doodle. So I landed of Hitchcock. Yes, the brilliant Alfred Hitchcock. Then, I also I have to write a draft. That I have to turn in by Friday. Sweet. Also, I may have to write a 10 minute script for a shortie. My main problem with shorts is how to keep them simple and short. In order to do that, I decided to go with possibly the most playful and innocent creatures in the world- children. And why children? Because not long ago I was one and I still remember what it was like to be naive, innocent, and cruel. Plus the long list of scatological jokes. On top of that, is a short film video I have to make. Have to because I said so. I'm probably going to make a music video for Unit 4 +2's Concrete and Clay because one, it's a great song, two, the song is too darn cute, and three, the official music video is crap, not that mine will be any better.
Also, I gave up on the Fountainhead. I lost it in some drawer and I have not yet wanted to read it. I still have some chapters left, but I truly and utterly hate it. Hate is a powerful word, and I mean it when I say I hate that book. Ayn Rand's dialogue makes me fall asleep and wonder if her group of friends were that formal. Probably not. But maybe they are.
