Mostly quiet, on the eastern front...

Watched Godsend a couple of nights ago. My, what a crummy movie. It was almost like a propaganda film for Herr Bush about the evils of cloning. Not even the most yummy Rebecca Romaijn-Stamos saved it, especially given the PG-13 rating.

Late last night I read the first book in the Hikaru No Go manga series. It's kicked off another drive to find someone to play Go against. As the saying goes -- One should try and lose their first fifty games as quickly as possible. I'd just prefer to do it face-to-face, rather than online.

Meanwhile, the rune share I'm participating in continues. I continue to question my motives, and what I want to get out of it. I want to learn more about myself; I want to sharpen my mind. I need focus, and mental discipline. But I do feel out of place there; in of itself it's not what I want.

There are so many things I'd like to do, like to learn.. but so many need a teacher, or at least another participant. Perhaps that is part of why I want to be a teacher myself.. my "students" end up teaching me far more than I them. I want to push my mental horizons further, and try and make some sense of this crazy place.

So, I gots to get off my ass and do it myself, eh? But I also want someone with me for it, if nothing else.. to keep me grounded and somewhat stabilized.

Crystal leaves tomorrow morning with the first carload of stuff bound for her dorm room in Miami. I'll be joining her for the second (and hopefully last) trip down, and... well, my house will be very empty indeed. Hopefully I'll be able to see her at least monthly, but this is what I can expect until she finishes school. Two years. I want this to work. But there's a lot I have to accomplish on my end first. Stuff that needs to be done regardless.

Which reminds me. Why hasn't Georgia Tech sent me my transcripts yet? I can't finish the application for a teaching certification without them.
