Working From Home

I have to say, I'm enjoying doing work from home and getting paid for it.  It's a venture I've recently embarked on, and although I'm not making a ton of money right now, I can see how people can make a decent income if they put their minds to doing what they need to do from their computers.  I was lucky enough to get hired as a transcriptionist, which I think is pretty cool, but it can also eat away at your brain if you're sitting in front of your computer too long.  I think it's best to break up the work into 2 hour chunks at most.  Transcribing a two hour focus group with not the greatest audio takes a LOT of time and patience listening over and over for inaudible sections of the audio.  Anyway, my brain is fried right now; I should probably get off this computer, but I just thought to randomly post about working from home.  Does this entry even make sense tonight?  Probably not.  Talk soon.

Ted

Okay, so last night I started watching the 2012 cute teddy bear movie called "Ted", and honestly, I wasn't expecting such a funny film.  The last time I remember a comedy I seriously enjoyed with such clever dialogue and adult humor is "The 40 Year Old Virgin" and that was a long time ago.  "Ted" is a SERIOUSLY raunchy movie, but that's partly what made it so enjoyable.  Who would think a movie about a cuddly teddy bear would go in this direction?  The jokes weren't cheap, but they were still dirty as hell.  There's a lot of pot smoking, sex, and well...one of the funniest jokes comes from a pile of crap a hooker left on the living room floor.  Honestly, I can't give more of a review right now because I only watched about 40 minutes of the movie (had to go to bed early to make it to class today), but I definitely plan on finishing it tonight.  A continuation shall be posted soon :-)

Oscars 2013

I was just thinking about how the Oscars may have lost a bit of their magic.  Or is that just me?  I guess I sort of miss when they only had 5 movies to choose from for best picture.  It seems like having 9 or more contenders for best picture sort of cheapens the ceremony in some way.  On the other hand, it can be looked at as a positive thing because at least they've broken out of an old routine and chosen to try something different.  This started just a few years ago from what I can recall.  Unfortunately, my TV channels weren't working this year, and I was desperately trying to find a live feed of the Oscars online, which took a good 45 minutes to an hour to successfully do.  I missed best actor and best supporting actress.  :-/.  Anyway, I'm going to get back to some school work I was doing earlier.

Welcome

I just thought to say hello and introduce myself on my brand new Blog.  My name is Sasha Paul and I'm enjoying my little place here on the internet.  I like to talk about various topics.  I'm passionate about music, movies, and all things artsy I suppose.  It's nice to meet you.
