It has been a fairly busy week! On Saturday we had a combination party for my graduation and my dad's ordination. Which was good, one of my cousins came unexpectedly who I haven't seen in... probably at least three years? I'd seen his wife at family parties before, but never met her, and I've only ever seen pictures of their son, who is absolutely ( Read more... )

So the history course listings came out for next semester, and it looks like the major may actually be getting its shit together and becoming a real department like all the others. Instead of what it's been recently, particularly this year, which was basically a mess of disorganization and a constant overturn of visiting professors while half the ( Read more... )

Tonight was the Senior Cocktail Party, one of the many events that enables us to gather in a group and realize that we have apparently never seen most of our classmates before. This particular one seems like it was probably A+ in like, the 1960s when people were somewhat into being classy, but in 2011 mostly just no one cared and it was kind of ( Read more... )

So I've spent the better part of the day watching the first season of Ugly Betty for the first time, and it is so different from later episodes but exceedingly awesome, for many reasons but at the moment because it is giving me hungover Daniel helping the Suarez family decorate for Christmas. He is twisting chenille stems with Justin WHY IS THIS ( Read more... )

Seriously, White Collar writers, maybe I would care about who killed Kate if she had actually ever been a character, and not someone Neal moped about all the time. I decided to catch up because Billy Dee Williams is apparently guest starring next week, but man this show is boring. So many pretty faces, so many great characters, and there are a lot ( Read more... )

Ignoring however long it's been and that this is clearly no longer day 28, none of the things I really miss right now are things I'm willing to write about at the moment so this has been giving me trouble. I did just discover that yesterday I missed what was apparently a large gathering visiting my grandmother at the rehab place because my uncle ( Read more... )

I am psyched!I am less psyched with everything else going on in life. Although at least I am no longer dithering (too much) about classes next semester, because Jane and Melissa told me not to be an idiot and stick with the plan. However, it turns out that grad school application time is actually kind of coming up soon? And while I am 99% sure ( Read more... )

Apparently while Demi Lovato is in rehab and whatnot, Disney has decided that Sonny With a Chance will continue entirely as So Random sketches? For those of you who for some reason I can't fathom don't watch shows that are mediocre-to-bad and aimed at children, So Random is the fictional comedy show that the characters of Sonny with a Chance all ( Read more... )

Okay not that I am watching Dawson's Creek instead of doing the massive amount of things I need to do (like that geology midterm review sheet that is not a review sheet but BASICALLY JUST THE SYLLABUS), but I really love how Grams has moved to Boston with them and turned her new house into Grams's Home for Wayward College Students. She's come a ( Read more... )

So on a whim a couple weeks ago, I decided to start watching Dawson's Creek. And after skipping most of season 1, it ended up being just the sort of show I love! But it's weird, because in elementary school we all had this idea of it being super scandalous, full of teenagers constantly sleeping together and drinking and probably using drugs as well ( Read more... )
