good day, i think, over all.  good day.

got home from practice last night, and heard that abbi had called.  i actually didn't get as excited as i thought i would when my dad told me.  i just sort of called her back.  she was wondering how i was doing with everything, since i'd been to a funeral that day and whatnot.  it was a short talk, but it made me realize just how much i missed speaking with her.  it was the first we'd really talked in a week, and it was nice.

after that, watched some of the boogie nights dvd and did journalism.

best line from the p.t. anderson commentary on the dvd:  "porno and kung fu.  that's all i wanna make movies about."

great stuff.  he's gotta be the coolest writer in hollywood right now.  can't wait for punchdrunk knuckle love.  except that adam sandler is in it.  ugh.  oh well, with phil hoffman and luis guzman still along for the ride, should be great.  if you want a rundown of what i'm talking about, go to  the imdb and check out a search for "pt anderson."  if you've never seen boogie nights, anderson also wrote and directed magnolia, the movie which made me believe tom cruise could actually act.  i've got it on tape, if you wanna see it.  it's amazing.

anyway, one other note of interest before i head off.  the local army recruiter showed up at my door today, and tried to get me to join the army.  he asked what i planned to do after high school, and i told him i was going to study at college, probably psychology or social work.  i thought this might indicate that i had an interest in helping people, as opposed to killing them, but he didn't seem to bite.  he asked if i was interested in joining the army.  he saw me there, the short, squat travis martin, and ASKED ME TO JOIN.  i considered telling him i was a pacifist, but the last thing i wanted to do was break down my life choices to him.  i just said "no" and he thanked me for my time and headed along on his way.

yeah.  me in the army.

i'm gonna get going.  this was a short entry, but i find myself not really having much to say right now.  take care, and be sure to read yesterday's entry.  only 4 hits on it when i last checked.

late, suckas.
