Right this will be one of those posts that are typical me in that they are thinly veiled to-do lists. Whatever, I like making lists. They keep me organized and on track. Nothing is as satisfying as picking up a pen and crossing something off as completed (do not dwell on the psychological issues underlying this) or utilizing the strike function. ( Read more... )

I am chock full of rage this week; which is odd because things have generally been going well in my personal life. I'll go through the good stuff and then get to the rage.

Good stuff:
1-Am staying on top of work @ school without having major meltdown
2-Have been working a reasonable amount of hours at work
3-Important paperwork approved by grad school

Went to the Museum of Science yesterday to see the Harry Potter exhibit! Pros: I fucking love Harry Potter, movie props are cool, the classrooms/professors' offices were particularly detailed and amusing. For example, the decorative kitten plates and pink ribbon in Umbridge's office. Hilarious and creepy all at once. Cons: Too many damn kids, total ( Read more... )

I totally forgot I have a take-home exam due today. Oops ( Read more... )

Let's pretend you're my roommate. Yesterday I show you a dish of food and say, "I'm wrapping this up to use tomorrow." While I'm at work today which of the following do you do ( Read more... )

You know what really, really, irritates the shit out of me? People who use their gmail status/facebook status/ etc. to leave passive aggressive messages or tragic cries for help. You know what I mean. Stuff like, "I hate the world today, no one cares." or "If you don't know why I'm angry at you I'm not telling you." It's ridiculous. I can't STAND  ( Read more... )

I had a bizarre allergy experience on Sunday night. I know, I should stop being surprised at this point. But it's something freaky and new every damn time so I just can't get used to it.

About 4:30 in the morning I suddenly woke up from a deep sleep. No clue why except my first thoughts upon waking up were a) It's motherfucking hot in here and b) I ( Read more... )

Okay, got a job. Will be working at JCrew. Look out prep-land, here I come. I decided that I should take the job despite the low pay because a) I can start right away b) it's mindless retail which I'm good at c) I've learned that I am NOT suited for office work as it bores me to tears d) I'd rather eat a fist full of glass then go back to CVS so ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm having a Liz Lemon sort of life lately. Nothing going as planned.......not just things like obtaining gainful employment or making progress on my thesis but little things too. As in I've spilled coffee on myself 3 days in a row, and I think I accidentally drank a bug while watching fireworks on the 4th of July. Gross. Or a more ( Read more... )

Hey all I'm back from vacation. I know, it's ludicrous. I lose my job and my first order of business is to go on vacation. But it was planned in advance, I swear!

Anyhow, I went to South Carolina with the family for a week of relaxation on the beach. It was good times! Sunshine, booze, boardgames, reading, fancy garden tours, endless celebrity ( Read more... )
