Somehow I managed to escape the perils of jetlag when I flew to Korea. I arrived in the afternoon and managed to go on a nice power walk throughout a neighborhood of Seoul with my aunt. Now I'm back at home, waking up at 3 am and taking 4 hr naps at 3 pm. I've missed Oprah two days in a row! I tried so hard to stay up until 4 pm today but I lost steam around 3:30, probably a result of my 1:30 Taco Bell lunch. So I'm going to stay up for as long as I can here and then go to sleep (hopefully around 2?) and then go on with my day tomorrow just like any other Wednesday in Coppell, Texas. No poignant revelations in this post (not that there were every any before); just my own desperate attempt to stay awake.
It seems that my attempts to break into Hollywood grandeur have officially infiltrated my subconscious. Last night I dreamed that I was making a home video for Julianne Moore, her husband, Greg Kinnear, and Laura Linney at some swank lounge. Now, I did just see a preview for Mr. Juliane Moore's new movie starring Julianne and I saw Little Miss Sunshine with Kinnear earlier this week. But Ms. Linney. That was a wildcard. So what would Freud have to say about this? Well, I'm somehow so obsessed with Hollywood that I would be willing to play fifth wheel and video tape these celebrities...and Julianne is probably my mother who I've suppressed latent oedipal feelings for (I did find Julianne quite fetching in Boogie Nights) and Greg Kinnear...hmm...I want to be him? I mean, he was nominated for an Oscar.
From Hollywood to lying awake in my bed at 3:30 am, I quickly decided that I absolutely HAD to go to Taco Bell today for lunch. So everything I did from then on revolved around how I would somehow make it to the Taco Bell drive-thru after a jog in the park. Mission accomplished. Not really too hard considering it just involved attempting to read a Korean GQ at 4 in the morning and my sitting in front of the computer writing a TOEFL test section until about 11. Slowly reading the GQ quickly turned into just looking at the pictures and TOEFL test writing morphed into finding album art for my itunes and listening to Christina Aguilera's new album.
If this is how it continues on, I'm in deep shit.
But somewhere between Taco Bell and the local Albertson's, I did decide to retake the LSATs in December and take the TestMaster's Prep course starting the end of September.
More deep shit.

the lsat's?!!!! WHAT THE HELL?!!!!!
when did this happen? you are one full of surprises paul.
and may i say, it is ridiculously difficult to comment on your blogs.
Well, if it makes you feel better I woke up at 12:30pm today b/c I'm jetlagged from idaho. and let's face it, that's sort of a pathetic amount of jet lag.
I can't wait to see you in Amherst this weekend! Oh, and don't feel bad about being in deep shit...at least you worked all summer, which is MUCH more than I can say for myself.
I wonder if the TestMaster's will be anything like the TOEFLMasters at Hoyah! What now, Hollywood? estudiando? You crazy guy.
P.S. I can't wait for Taco Bell, too!
i dreamt about Pierce Brosnan last night. we bumped into each other in a crowded shoe store and then went out to dinner. he was very nice.
