My friends and I went to see Christopher Moore at the Barnes & Noble in Santa Monica tonight. He gave a pretty short, but hilarious, presentation. He talked about how he did research by going to the UK, and while everything he said was really funny, none of it would translate here through my words. There was a Q+A session after, and most of the ( Read more... )

A little over a week ago, my mom's iMac crashed. I bought it for her in April 2006 so it's only two and a half years old, and this was the second major problem we've had. I don't really use this computer that much since I have my iBook, but I used it to store some photos and movies. Anyway, I'd gotten the Apple Care warranty thing so we took it ( Read more... )

I went to bed about 15 minutes after that last entry. About two hours later at 5 am I wake up suddenly because my throat is parched and then realize I have a homework assignment due today for an Anglophone/British culture class. So I take out the one-page passage that I'm supposed to do a text commentary on and I got that shit done in half an ( Read more... )

On my mind -

• Enlightenment literature was almost the death of me; it will be the death of my GPA.
  
  
• To help put off studying on Tuesday, I started Sara Gruen's Water for Elephants shortly after I got out of class. I stopped to shower and make dinner and was done with the book by the time I finished my after-dinner orange. Now: Cathy Day's ( Read more... )

It's the middle of summer. I don't care about what Kant or Foucault or Horkheimer have to say. I shouldn't have to care. I should be frolicking in a field. Or something ( Read more... )

Today would have been Gregory Peck's 91st birthday. If I haven't died of exhaustion at the end of the day, I might watch Roman Holiday (again) because it's the only movie of his I have here at school with me ( Read more... )

I'M IN A REALLY, REALLY WEIRD STATE OF MIND.

It is 7.04 am. I don't have any classes today nor I am not an early riser, which can only mean I've pulled another all-nighter working on and off on a paper. Why do I do this to myself, even now when I'm sick? I really don't know. Some strange subconscious masochistic tendancy perhaps? I was ( Read more... )

Just in time for three papers and four finals, I get whatever sickness has been floating around the country. To add insult to injury, we've lost a whole hour of sleep. I am not in favor of this Daylight Savings crap.

After yet another futile attempt to write my eight-page paper organize my DVDs last night, I realize the amount I have is ( Read more... )
