Today was pretty chillaxed. I watched Animal Cops Houston for a good, I dunno, five hours. puzzled at my state of illness for at least two hours. And.. I'm not really sure what happened to the rest of the day. I did get a graduation present from our next door neighbour which was almost unbearably sweet; I now am the proud owner of a wind-up alarm clock! Not quite as inspiring as Stephen Fry alarm clock but this has the grace of not needing anything but my wrists to continue working.
This time next week I will be in an airplane, sleepin' my way to England. Hopefully. The Paris idea has been vetoed (the week before we leave, I know, good job guys? Oh well. That's what happens when you've not entirely delegated who is planning what when.), so we have three days at the end of the trip after Oxford of being nowhere....Hrmmmmm.....West coast of England boasts a helluva lot of hostels, some with very interesting names... "Lizard" and "Street", to name two, as well as "Cheddar" (which is easily explainable but surprising nonetheless). Wow I am really not motivated to get my stuff together. This is not a good sign! :O
In other news, I am now a part of a Nerdfighter "five awesome" style blog with five other Nerdfighters I met on the ning. They wanted to start a blog that featured college kids specifically, so I left a comment with my freshmanity andf college, and they were like HEY OK SOUNDS GOOD. It's not gonna be on livejournal, unfortunately.
I am also, rather embarassingly, the only freshman, but maybe that won't put me in TOO many bad books. Anyway, here is the link to where our blog will be starting (tomorrow), in case you're curious:
http://nerdfighteruniversity.wordpress.com/ I'm Sunday, which means I'll be the long-winded end to the week. :3 And yes, I did pick it myself, I have NO idea why.
Lastly I want to say that USA's new television show In Plain Sight is taking a while to warm to me. I'm not entirely sure I like the main character yet, but I am kind of in love with her partner (it's a mix of body type/ sarcasm/ knowledge of random facts, I think). But unfortunately that does not in itself mean that I think it's a good show. It does, however, mean I will continue to watch it DESPITE my opinion of anything else in the show. I do love USA, though, because about half of my favourite current American television shows are up on there (Law and Order: CI, Monk, Psych, Burn Notice...). I'm really excited for Burn Notice to be back. Like, really excited. They have little pin up semi-commercials that get me all OMG OMG. It's almost a little sad.
