I saw Franz Ferdinand last night. It was a blast, the whole little mass of dance floor bouncing up and down and singing along. Didn't expect some of the song line-up, but it was nice to hear "Tell Her Tonight" and "40'" in there. And of course "Lucid Dreams" in all its maddening glory. If you were wondering, no, I didn't bring my camera to the ( Read more... )

All right. A week into the break, and I think I've been spoilt to death. I mean I haven't even exchanged all presents, or taken any pictures, for that matter (that latter one's just wrongThus far, I've been given the iPod touch, a camera phone, tuition aid, a Venus razor gift box, an 800-piece scrapbook kit, black tights from Express, a silver ( Read more... )

-Hey folks! Ze PC has wireless again. It's amazing. I swear that it had to reach autumn in order to acquire it once more, but I'm thankful because I'd prefer not to abuse the laptop battery, if at all possible ( Read more... )

Er, I'm disturbed by this. Six years ago, the guy was my driver's ed behind the wheel instructor; he's ugly as sin, and he has a limp along with a mean disposition. Back then he told me that my parents must've been high when they took me out to drive. In actuality, my parents weren't teaching me to drive in the first place, and now he's the one who ( Read more... )

All right, folks. I'm done with Bible studies. I'm not one to stereotype (okay, except I am), but they're filled with a bunch of middle-agers who'd love to plan out your life for you. The only problem is that they can't even figure out their own! I'd concluded this many years back, except I'm a nice person and give people way too much time to prove ( Read more... )

I get a lot of mail. I think I receive about a third of the family's what with all the credit pamphlets and college brochures. So yesterday I received my degree audit, and guess what? I was waived my last credit hour for life sciences. In other words, I will be done with CoD in May! After three years, I can finally bask in a full summer of no ( Read more... )

Do you ever feel quite bad if you've forgotten someone's birthday? I do. Well, I was one day off, but still! I'm known for recalling significant dates even when my friends and boyfriends do not. But yes - Kristen's 21st birthday is on Monday, not Sunday. Good news is it'll give me a day of rest (hangover day!) in between, and then one before ( Read more... )

Dude, I couldn't believe the reactions to my life drawing work today. I'm talking "really nice" from the professor and "awesome" from students. Prior to this class I kept drawing "in a box", so-to-speak, and now suddenly I'm getting it. Such is life, though...like how I understand the Marx Bros' humor more as I get older. I was watching Duck Soup ( Read more... )

We had our first photo critique on Thursday, and I still can't believe that I raised my hand to be one of the starters. I never do that; I'm consistently one of the last. Sure it sounds silly to many, but I see now why it's nice to get it over with. Yep, had to reach college sophomore status to figure this out. I might even just tell myself "heck ( Read more... )
