Blaaaahhhh....
Winter quarter went by so fast...and yet now is the time when ALL the work is due. Tonight I have to write 2 grammar questions for my Korean final test, which really isn't a huge issue except it's just a little busy-work I really could have done without. The only bright side to it is the fact that I'll know what's on the Korean test next week. Then I have my Korean skit lines to translate for next Thursday, and I have to write...10 Korean lines on this "GoPost" thing that I should have been doing the last 10 weeks of the quarter but haven't been because....well, because it never comes to mind for me. My Saturday (3/8) is completely shot, because I'm doing the Hansee Hall Ball thing, so I really have to do all that either today, tomorrow, or Sunday, on top of preparing for this last week, which is going to be the true death of me....
Monday:
A) 1 page Korean translating project. As in, I have to take a Korean article and translate it fully, and explain the parts I couldn't translate.
B) 2 page film reflection.
Tuesday:
A) Korean test on vocab and grammar, takes the full hour.
Wednesday:
A) 10 pages of Weather homework.
B) Korean test on diction and reading, takes the full hour.
Thursday:
A) Korean skit, ~14 memorized lines. And no, "Hello" lines don't count.
Friday:
A) 5-6 in-depth film analysis paper.
And then my Weather final during finals week. Blegh.
In other news not me whinging about schoolwork, the Dalai Lama is coming to the UW. I dunno if I'd go, but it'd be cool.
I've told myself time and again to go to bed early, because I wake up tired after 6 hours of sleep, but when 12AM rolls around...I always manage to find something I want to do. Read fanfiction, listen to just that one last song, read really awesome quotes (...yes, I do manage to waste an entire hour just reading quotes....*whistles innocently*), so much so that I've been hitting the sack by about....2AM. *sigh* Spring break...that'll be my time to catch up on sleep. Yeah, that's my excuse....
I bought a new pair of shoes for Hall ball and some really cheap Claire fishnets. ^.^ And they're really cute shoes, too. Though, apparently at DSW I am mostly size 5-5 1/2, but managed to find and buy the one pair of size 6 shoes that fit me. Hmmm. Yes, I'm getting really dressy for this ball thing, which is okay because it's the first time in about...3 years. So, it's okay. And I have now discovered that, if I'm ever at Northgate for some reason and feel like ice cream (but randomly don't want to stop by the Baskin Robbins at Northgate.....) I know to take the 75, but the long-bus 75, which stops at the Baskin Robbins on 45th. And then, when I'm done with my ice cream, I can hop back onto the 75th which takes me right up to the HUB and I can avoid the Hill of Death. *wins*
Tuesday I went to the HUB, where some group or another had this contest going on where you guessed how many condoms were in the jar. I don't know what the prize is, I don't know who it was for, but I kinda shrugged and made a guess and submitted it. We'll see, we'll see. I doubt I'll win, I went for a slightly conservative answer. Hopefully the prize, if I do somehow win, isn't something crazy like being their spokesperson for a year. Or winning all the condoms in the jar. Because....really? Really really? I don't think anyone in the universe needs as many condoms as I guessed (except maybe Captain Jack, but he's a special case).
And, because I'd feel odd if I didn't have at least one fandom-related topic in my posts....it was nice to see the usually emo!Ianto be imitatingexplodinghead!Ianto. Whatever category that may fall under. Sarcastic!Ianto? Hmm...*ponders*
EDIT 11:12PM: News on EUReKA!! Somewhat old news now, but...well, the second one is March 5, so not quite old. But YAY!!!
First one is about the strike's effect on the show. A possibility of more than 12-13 episodes this season??? SIGN ME UP AS PRO-LONGER SEASONS OF EUREKA!
Second one has some (read: 3) bits about third season. "an awesome scene involving the ongoing rivalry between Stark and Carter that's going to knock everyone's socks off." ???? WHY AM I BEING FORCED TO WAIT UNTIL AUGUST/SEPTEMBER/LATER FOR THIS????? WANT NOW PLZKTHNX!!!!! Something further from the writer's blog entry (look near the bottom of this link's article for the link to it, 4 lines from the bottom): "That is, if the scene makes the show's final cut. It's pretty intense...!"
ALSDKHF;ALKDHSFA;LSHDF!!! *settles in for the wait, eye on the ball like a cat and a mousehole*
Toshiko: You said we weren't allowed to use that again.
Jack: It's just a mind probe.
Ianto: Remember what happened last time you used it?
Jack: That was different. And that species has extremely high blood pressure.
Ianto: Oh, right. Their heads must explode all the time.
Gwen: Jack, you can't do this. What if you're wrong? If she is human, it'll kill her.
Jack: I'm not wrong. We have to find out what she is.
Toshiko: Take it easy, Jack. Stop at the first sign of trouble.
Ianto: Or at the first sign of exploding.
[to Owen, who insists on using (phone) communication]
Ianto: Mobiles, landlines, tin cans with bits of string - everything, absolutely everything! No phones, phones all broken. [mimics telephone] Hello? Anyone there? [normal] No, 'cause the phones aren't working!
[about information on a random person]
Owen: How do you know all that?
Ianto: I know everything. And it says so on the bottom of the screen.
Ianto: It's all over.
Owen: [pauses] Let's all have sex.
Ianto: [deadpan] And I thought the end of the world couldn't get any worse. --Torchwood, Sleeper
(Hmmmm......Deadpan!Ianto....that works.)
