If you really want to have a good laugh, I highly recommend the commentary for 'The Way We Weren't' - 45 mins of just Ben and Claudia talking over an episode of Farscape. *Sigh* It PWNS!
So yeah, what is there to update about...
Oh, how about the plane that crashed down on Ocala, and completely blacked out our entire campus? Is that interesting enough?
Plane crash in Tallahassee... The crash knocked out power to a large portion of Florida State University's campus and west side of Tallahassee.
Yeah, try ALL of the campus. The only light's that were on were the emergency lights in the halls and the stairwells of the buildings. I was just sitting here, making some icons (which I will be posting probably by the end of tonight when I feel I'm satisfied with quality and quantity) and watching Jurassic Park (It was actually kinda funny cause right before JP came on, I had put the OST on, and was listening to Theme from Jurassic Park thinking to myself 'WOW, I really want to watch this right now.' And then not even 30 seconds later I was like WAIT! I had suddenly remembered AMC was showing it - and it had JUST started...right in time to see Alan's spiel to the little boy "Point is - You are alive when they start to eat you.") when BAM, the room goes dark.
Of course it didn't scare me - I'm so used to the power going out an home that I was like okie day. But then of course I was like wait, this isn't home, this shouldn't be happening (and i knew it wasn't just Kellum cause the guys out on the basketball court all shouted when it got dark). So I opened the door (found the hall lights were on), and talked with some of the girls on my floor. Then I called Paris and went down to the fourth floor - had to use the stairs, of course, since the elevators weren't working - and there were people stuck in them. Some people were lucky enough cause one of the cars stopped right at the tenth floor - the doors were pried open when I walked past it. We decided that we should take advantage of the blackout and explore the campus in the dark. So Paris, Shaq, Marymee and I set out - with our cameras, flashlights, and my Jeep lantern (of course I have a latern *it's electric* - I was raised redneck, afterall).
And we ended up at Landis - in the fountain. So what if it was just below 50 outside *shrugs* It was like a chain reaction - Marymee climbed in, and I followed, then Shaq and Paris came in. Then Paris and Marymee got into a splashing fight, and we all ended up pretty wet by the end of it.
Because Marymee is a pure genius, she asked a pretty cute guy in a golf cart if we could get a ride back to Kellum - and he took us! It was pretty sweet! So we got back, changed, and then started out for Publix (where the plane crashed) cause we wanted to see it. But we didn't even get to Stadium Dr. when the power came back on. We still kept walking, thought, and met up with Amanda and Brian. Arby's was open as we were walking back, so we stopped there and ate. Then after Brian came back to Kellum and took a shower, we all set out for WALLY WORLD! (And by this time, it was midnight - FUN STUFF!)
Had some good fun there - played around with the toys. This consisted of getting into a lightsaber fight with Brian (WHICH I WON, OF COURSE!) and playing with the hula hoops and such. Then, for some unknown reason, they had a Richard Simmons Aerobersize video playing in the hunting/fishing section - so we started doing the dance exercises!
We did end up buying some food (and I got two new pillows and mattress pad for my bed FINALLY), which we made this morning for breakfast.
But yeah, after last night's escapades, my voice is seriously gone. Completely shot. I guess that's what I get for running around like a crazey person (me? Run around? crazey person? NO! NEVER!) after being sick-ish all week. *shrugs* It does suck though, b/c after not talking (or attempting to talk, I should say) for a while, what little I have of my voice goes byebye all together and I have to strain even more when I do start talking again.
So an update on Billy - Amazon tells me he's here, delivered. It has said this since yesterday morning. And yet Kellum doesn't have it, and if the Post Office does have it, they didn't put out a slip in my box at all yesterday. Trust me, I checked, several times. And it seriously pisses me off! I ordered it a week ago, paid my money for it, and I WANT IT DAMMIT! It's bullshit that I don't have it RIGHT NOW. GAH! *kicks the analness of FSU*
In other ordering news, I immediately ordered Barque of Heaven from stargatenovels.com as soon as I got the email. Those who really know me know I do this with every SG-1 novel fandemonium puts out - these books are like crack... I need them RIGHT AWAY. Even if I have a bazillion books lined up to read (like right now!), I still go and order them. I have all the SG-1 novels, and SGA: Blood Ties b/c Daniel is in it. :D And of course I'll be ordering the audio novels when they are available! SO EXCITED FOR THEM!!!!
So Monday, I should have lotsa mail - Billy, the novel, and new old Farscape from netflix. Yay!
OH, btw, Daniel II is official - the phone came back to life as only Daniel can the next morning. The inside of the screen was still damp, but it dried out by the next day, so all is good. SO GO DANIEL II!
I was gonna do my hair tonight (have to touch up the pink), but I've already taken a shower today and my hair is actually being good for once. I don't want to screw up the niceness of the hair, b/c it's so rare that it actually does what I want it to!
*phew* Okie day, I think that's about it for now. I still....AH! iTunes!psychic strikes again! I was just thinking "Hot is going to play next..." AND IT CAME ON! *dances* Now I want to watch this vid...and the other two I've made...:D
Okie day, now I'm going to work on more icons. ;)
