I just bought a pair of boots and I PROBABLY SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS. But they were THESE and I LOVE THEM and AHHHHHH ( Read more... )

So, I blew off working on my prospectus to go see Whip It today, and while I don't remember seeing this in anyone's review, I'm surely not the only one who wants to make out with pretty much the ENTIRE FEMALE CAST, am I??

( And now for the spoilers... )

Ohhhh, sea monsters. I couldn't help myself- I brought up the sea monster angle in class yesterday in our discussion of Neoclassicism. Between that and not being able to resist referencing Tim Curry as Cardinal Richelieu, class was rather a gem ( Read more... )

I am GRUMPY today. It has not been a very good day, but this is mostly because I can't seem to deal with anything very well today, which means it's ALL MY FAULT, which just makes me want to put on my crankypants and batten down the hatches until it's over ( Read more... )

I am DROWNING in a vast sea of procrastination. I promised myself I would hunker down today and produce a Proper Prospectus for my thesis project. In theory, this is totally doable!

ETA Ohhh sweet Moses on a mountaintop. I just spent $123 dollars on seasons 1-4 of BSG. I TOLD YOU I ( Read more... )

I think my mission to get a Roomba for Christmas is off to a great start- my Dad is FASCINATED, especially after showing him the infamous youtube vids of Roomba-riding cats. Mother is more dubious, but amenable, despite the best efforts of Sister to convince us all that Roombas are just no goodniks, Dysons are where it's at. But I've got Dad on ( Read more... )

I take it as a great personal accomplishment that I am not yet dead. I've finally come back from spending too much time in a weird and unhappy emotional place- the worst of it hit when I was alone in the new flat and there was no one around to pat my head and tell me things would be ok. Lovely members of my flist are lovely, but I've been spoiled ( Read more... )
