Week 3? Who Knows

Ideas have been racing around inside my head. Now that I have completed my movie outline (which I am very happy about), I know what direction I am going in, which allows me to start developing ideas and jokes. My goals for this week are to really get going on my research paper, which I have already started, and to get a good idea for the upcoming scenes in LIT. I have overcome last week's problem of finding useful websites, because I have a plethera of them now. Combined with my priceless Entertainment Weekly article, I am pretty much set for my paper. My newest problem is just pure laziness. I have to look past the fact that it's Spring, (even though it is, and I've got to be outside, playing stickball) and get my work done. I need to actually apply myself and prove that I am still capable of doing work, or else I will be doomed in college. I have begun doing research on classic stoner movies such as the Cheech and Chong films, Dazed and Confused, Half Baked, How High, Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, Grandma's Boy, Sean Penn's character in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Reefer Madness AND Reefer Madness: The Musical. I have of course seen all of these, but am going to rewatch them in order to gain better insight on the crazy, pot-addled minds of "stoners." Also, even though it hasn't come out yet, I am going to watch, and rewatch, and rewatch the trailer for Pineapple Express, which will undoubtedly be the greatest stoner movie of ever created.

Your enthusiasm for your movies is contagious. Try to be a bit more specific with your goals for the week though. What will you accomplish by Tuesday? Thursday? That will help you finish your work on time for sure.
