• This is one of those days that I just do not want to go out and see anyone at all. But I hate being the person that flakes out when plans are set, so I'm forcing myself to do it. I'm posting this to get the whining out of my system so as not to appear too bitchy later on. Will it work? I don't know.
  
  
• Jack and Meg are selling cameras now. ( Read more... )

The trailer for Sweeney Todd is so good. I'm even more excited for the movie now. There really are some good things coming out after all.

It seems that someone around here has a pet rooster.

Bulleted post:

• Much more than the overuse of the words "like" and "so" (even though I'm guilty of that), it pains me to hear people use "hella." While I was having a conversation with a guy who said it repeatedly, I almost wished I could lobotomize myself with a pen.
  
  
• I adored the pilot of "Pushing Daisies" as much as I'd hoped I would. This ( Read more... )

One reason why I've really enjoyed my Italian language classes is because they're taught by native speakers. The French department has all kinds of people teaching their classes, so I had grad students as well as native Frenchmen as teachers (although, as I learned on one occassion, just because they're French doesn't mean they can teach it). But ( Read more... )

As of this moment, I have 100 of the 2,100 words I need for my final paper which is due in a matter of hours. Because I am still in denial, there is much time that is still being wasted.

I find this bit of news from Sondre Lerche's blog rather exciting. Because Steve Carrell + Peter Hedges + music by Sondre Lerche = WIN. And that Sondre/ ( Read more... )

A completely unncessary message as I fail at updating on a regular basis, but since I'm usually pretty good at keeping up with the flist, just a note to say I will be on LJ a lot less the next week for a number of reasons:

• I have a midterm. On my birthday. I'm not thrilled.
  
• I believe there is a correlation between the amount of time I don't ( Read more... )

in the four days i had off from school, among other things, i:

• (re)watched spider-man 3 and pirates... 3. i could say things, but there's no need for the extra negativity.
  
• got scrubs season 5 on dvd.
  
• learned how to play "here comes the sun" on the guitar.
  
• watched a youtube video of a tropical bird moonwalking.

during my long weekend, i ( Read more... )

It's been a week and a half. I lose at livejournal. Life's gotten in the way of internet.

This weekend was glorious. As grateful as I am that my friends are so awesome and it's always shits and giggles when I'm at home, it makes going back to Santa Barbara on Sunday night that much harder.

I missed Grey's Anatomy last Thursday and haven't ( Read more... )

Normally, Mondays and I don't get along. I'm not saying things between us were great, but we maintained a truce today.

Since I haven't had the time to go online since Friday, I've been a bit behind on the (Strokes) times. But ZOMG! A song from the new Queens of the Stone Age album Era Vulgaris leaked. So download Sick, Sick, Sick (featuring ( Read more... )

I find this to be the fastest, most efficient way to post:

I. Even though five is only one more than the usual amount of classes people take at UCSB, I'm starting to feel a little overwhelmed. Already. In the second week. I may have overestimated my own stamina.

II. I spend way too much time on IMDb. ( various )
