| yes, ladies and gentlemen, i AM getting a nose job. probably this winter. crazy, huh?
now, before you start lobbing accusations of "vanity" and "inane snobbery" and "finally" (i guess that last one wouldn't be an accusation...), allow me to say two words. these two words are so full of meaning that they will render your accusations helpless and will watch them wither on the sand dunes in the desert of reprimand:
deviated septum.
yes, friends, the ironic twist is upon us. nic, so well renowned for his prodigious nasal apparatus, so revered for his ability to draw small children and small vehicles into orbit around his gigantic face-lump, is being forced into surgery because his nasal passages (get this) are
TOO SMALL.
beyond comprehension, i know. i mean, with all the room for hair, and boogers, and snot, and other various items in the cavernous recesses nic calls his nostrils (such as bits of paper, speaker cables, volkswagens, etc.), you'd think they'd leave enough room for a little air. but no. everything else has a spot, but for air there's no room at the inn.
how thrilling.
[i'll keep you informed, with full pictorial coverage, as the events occur. thanks for reading the "lifeofnic" blog. if you are now thoroughly bored out of your mind (and goodness knows you should be), please visit my actually interesting blog, at curledupwithmyteddy. thank you and good night.] | | |
| i'm back in action. worldview kept me busy, even busier than last summer. i felt like an ostrich on steroids. except without the steroids. or, i suppose, the ostrich.
there is too much to post about the summer, so i'll have to do it in small bites. but i do plan on it.
when i got home, i hung out with the fam until 4:30 in the morning. the next day, we went and saw the bourne supremacy (a good movie), spiderman 2 (another good movie), and then came home and watched the last samurai (yet another good movie). then we went to bed. it was beautiful. what a great way to come down off the summer.
since then, i've been scripting. a lot. i hope to have it done before i leave for union again, which will be on the 19th...AAAGH! coming up fast.
until then, we shall camp this weekend, and my enemies shall be inflicted with the frothy disease.
and, i shall have an appointment for facial reconstruction surgery. it seems the face police have decided i have descended below the line of legalized ugliness. not to mention my nose is a fire hazard in most buildings. so reconstruct they shall. | | |
| FOR BORED PEOPLE ONLY!!!
wowza.
been so long.
not a lot has changed lately, but a lot has happened.
i'm still an RA, still in Macbeth, still leading i eta pi (bible study), still working with tumbling creek baptist as worship leader on wed. nights, and still trying to find a church.
Macbeth goes up next week. it's exciting! it'll be good. very good.
i changed my program. i'm no longer a bachelor of arts, instead i'm a bachelor of science degree-seeking student. same major (digital media studies), but i don't have to take spanish. sweet! and it's less hours.
my major is trotting along quite nicely. i'll be here another 5 semesters plus 1 to finish my second minor in LA!!! woohoo! the second minor is in film studies, in case you wondered.
next semester is shaping up to be hugely awesomely busy:
RA in Lee building
Arts and Entertainment editor on Cardinal and Cream staff (student paper)
Staff of "The Torch" (student literary magazine)
I Eta Pi facilitator (mens' bible study)
Rounder's leader (book discussion---"Orthodoxy" by Chesterton)
16 credit hours (Editing, Graphic Design, Advertising, Public Relations, P.E., and another class that i haven't signed up for yet)
Tumbling Creek Baptist wed. night worship leader (though i may possibly begin to do a "traveling" worship band with nick bateman)
More filmmaking.
More blogging.
More e-mailing.
yikes. i hope that's all. i don't think i'll be doing a play next semester, due to the ridiculous amount of stuff i'm already hoping to do.
so anyhoo. thanks for listening.
by the way, i made three films this semester. one was for class, with a group, and it's not that good. one was with my friend trae cadenhead, called "within a room somewhere" and is pretty good. it comes out on dvd next semester. and i made one of my own (starring wilhelm peters) called "shower story". it's mostly done. if you have a fast internet connection, check it out here. click the link at the top of the page. then right click the movie file and "save target as..." this will download it to your hard drive.
anywaysers. thanks for reading. i can't believe you read through all this. how insanely bored you must be. | | |
| RA duties are not overwhelming, but they keep me busy.
homework is not overwhelming (yet), but it keeps me busy.
my tuesday night bible study (called "i eta pi", in honor of fraternities) is not overwhelming, but it keeps me busy.
and now i'm in a show. macbeth. i think that it might be overwhelming. and it sure keeps me busy.
RECORDING NEWS!
last friday night, i went to memphis to my old roomate Tyson's house with him and my other old roomie Brandon to record. we all lived together in Rogers 81 last semester, so the name of our band is Rogers 81. we suck. but we recorded 23 songs that night for our 4th album in our trilogy, this one called "reUnion U". it's one of the funniest things i've ever had a part in.
but you probably wouldn't get it.
if you want a copy...too bad. it's not worth the postage.
HOWEVER. on saturday night i went to my professor's house to record an album of my own. this will be my...um...second official album (i think), and will be leagues ahead of anything else i've ever done. i've got the rough cuts of seven of the songs down, and some of it is just incredible! it even has other instruments, besides my guitar! i'm freekin excited! (i think i've had *that word* in every one of my posts on this blog so far. almost.)
the CD should be done by the 13th. i will be charging for copies (price yet to be set). the money will go toward my summer fund for working at Worldview Academy again. got A LOT of work to do...
but it'll keep me busy.

| ok...italy trip for two weeks in january. got six credit hours studying art history and world literature...
i decided Michelangelo invented Italy.
oversaturated with churches and chapels and duomos and basilicas and museums and little restaurants and glass and masks....shaved my head bald for the fun of it, in florence. yikes. hair's still pretty short.
got all my homework done the week following the trip and got two A's to show for it. so yay.
transitioned back to school again--it was a little tougher leaving this time than last time--and am FREEKIN excited about my semester:
i'm an RA--going well so far. learning "on the job". 7 hours a week, free room. not a bad deal.
wednesday night worship--i travel an hour to Gleason every wednesday to play music for the students at Tumbling Creek Baptist Church with my good friend Alex Carr. lovin' it, as usual.
tuesday night bible study--starting up a men's only bible study. something we lack on this campus. gearing up to begin next week, or perhaps the week following.
macbeth--planning on auditioning for the scottish play mid-semester. with a large number of men's roles, pretty good chance of getting to play. short hair (see "italy", above) might lower possibility.
classes--digital imaging (fun stuff), production (again, but still good), marketing (will probably be my first job--i love it!), biology (fulfills a requirement, but it's better than physical science), and written comp II (which is really a lit criticism course--sweet stuff). marketing ends halfway through the semester, since it's a night class.
so, i guess it's time to get back to bloggin and emailin. i'm gonna get consistent at this. or at least persistent. | | |
