So I got hit by a truck on Tuesday. I had the right-of-way on my bike and a guy making a right turn on red didn't see me. It sucked. Nothing was broken (bones or skin at least) so I declined the ambulance and didn't want to file a police report since I wasn't injured. The guy gave me his phone number anyway and we parted ways. When I went to get ( Read more... )

My cat Charlie, also known as Charles, passed away today. Well, my mom woke up to find him very ill so she rushed him to the vet and they ran some tests. Not only could they barely get any blood out of him, but then they did tests and found that he had no white blood cells. There was no way to keep him both alive, and comfortable. It was his time.

How did I miss Portland's Comicon? *facepalm* It was less than a month ago... but also the weekend after Dragon*Con, so I was at my spending limit and moping because another D*C had passed. Still, it would have been nice to go :( BOO I SUCK.

I had an interview today at one of my favorite stores, which went very well so once I know the results for sure, I will give more deets. It's a competitive job market right now and I am so grateful for the opportunity to interview ( Read more... )

So I've officially been to all of my classes! I really like my profs as well as the course content for all of the classes. The Communications classes have a lot of... communicating. Group work, bleh. But they're fun projects so it should be a good experience. I love my Lesbian Lit class. Women's Studies classes are magical, especially the upper ( Read more... )

aaaand it's coming to BBC America 10/3, which will hopefully mean that the episodes that I can't find will start making their way online. It stars Jamie Bamber (Apollo from BSG) and I had absolutely no idea that he's British! His American accent in BSG is spot-on. It's kind of depressing though, seeing London and hearing the accents and the slang. ( Read more... )

I am kind of stuck at home today. This isn't a big deal, as I am job hunting and can fill out apps all day, however, whenever I have to do apps or homework, I tend to find myself doing other things on the internet haha. So why am I stuck at home? MY POOR FEET. I have a shiny new pair of Birkenstocks, the kind with the vinyl over the straps. ( Read more... )

Well holy shit. The reason why I wasn't getting too excited for school is because I wasn't sure if I'd be able to pay for it. Yeah, there are student loans- but I don't have a co-signer so I was kinda worried, since Europe maxed out all of my credit cards. Luckily, even with my scary debt-to-credit ratio, I was able to get the loan. I didn't even ( Read more... )

Gahh so tired! I have aching muscles in places that I didn't even know had muscles. I carried two tables from IKEA for about a mile, which isn't much, but holding on to them was so awkward. Dragon*Con is over for another year! Ahhh that is so depressing. This past year was pretty much devoid of cons for me due to traveling. I'm sooo over the big ( Read more... )
