Salutations, Intergnats. I am less cranky now. ^_^
Things that are good:
(1) Going up to Connecticut in two weeks; primary objective is to celebrate the Dan-creature's birthday, but we will also probably spend a day down in the city gallivanting around and eating food. Gallivanting! Hurrah! I will be making a 3-day weekend of it, which is nice.
(1a) On the way to CT, we're TOTALLY stopping near the Tappan Zee Bridge for a visit to White Castle! I shunned White Castle while living Indiana (though I don't know why o_O), but then I saw Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle and... damn, those tiny burgers look good. WANT. WANT TWELVE. So we're going. Yee! Maybe we can visit a Sonic on the way back, too, and I can fulfill all of my horrible fast food fantasies. Why are they always advertising on Baltimore stations when there isn't a Sonic for miles and miles and miles? ARGH!
(2) Might go to up to NYC to see Nightwish in October. Who is their new singer? WHO IS IT?! Who cares? I will enjoy it no matter what. I AM EXCITED.
(3) I saw The Slip perform in the Recher a few weeks ago and... um, AWESOME. Their opening acts were shite, though. For the first, there were, like, eight guitars and no bassists and the lead singer had a very distracting Jewfro with a "lookit me! I've seen a photo of Jimi Hendrix!"-style headband. And he thought he was COOL. He made the awww-yeah-I-am-the-shit face, which you cannot make when you look like you are made of cookie dough. The second opening act was much better, but their lyrics were dumb and the girl ALSO had a Hendrix-band. Since the Recher is standing room only, by the time The Slip came on, I was like, "YOU BITCHES BETTER ROCK ME HARD, BECAUSE I AM IN PAIN." Then, they DID.
(3) I managed to get an internship with a teeny publishing company! They make books. BOOKS! Not magazines, not guides, but actual books. Heart! It went like this:
Stef: < long, ingratiating email >
Owner of Bancroft Books: Cool. When can you start?
Stef: .... bzuh? That was easier than advertised.
Things that are not so good:
(1) School is still happening. What's the DEAL? They're only offering two courses this summer. TWO. The entire department! In the past, they've offered at least ten. I'm getting worried because I have one more required class to complete before I can graduate and if it's not offered this fall, then I'm... maybe screwed? Or maybe terribly lucky, if they'll let me skip the boring piece of shite and take something else instead.
(2) I've been going to the gym quite faithfully, but it's not working. I'm sticking with it, of course, but after nearly 2 months of work, I'm not seeing much improvement. I'm still made of cookie dough (sans Jewfro). Perhaps I need to find a new place, new routine, that sort of thing. :-\ Meh. We'll see.
Things that are Elton John:
(1) Elton John!
Things that are at work and should probably stop playing around on Livejournal:
(1) Stef.
(2) ... perhaps, YOU?
