I have been busy. My thesis and college applications are demanding a huge amount of my life, and I still have other classes and two jobs besides. My memory seems to be shot as well, and I am having trouble remembering to do things (like book club/call parents and friends/meetings/appointments/etc). This memory problem is probably linked to ( Read more... )

I have approx. 1,000,000 things to say about the presidential race, but this comment attached to an article about how Sarah Palin can't for the life of her dredge up a comprehensible answer to any question she is asked. This person apparently thinks ( Read more... )

I went to see Eddie Izzard in Minneapolis with John last night. It was amazing. Two of the most amazing hours of my life. He was just hilarious and quirky as he seems in the DVDs I have of him. Everyone was dying, seriously. And he was really dynamic with the audience when they reacted by saying things like "It's just a mime" as he was describing ( Read more... )

I've entered the final week of super-semester (though something tells me next year won't be any easier despite fewer classes).

I will see you all in a week when I am allowed out of ( Read more... )

This is usually because I find it an extremely well crafted image, or a great piece of acting for just a few seconds ( Read more... )

Okay. So the Lit. in English GRE is offered three times a year: April, November, and December. I need to apply to grad schools in November and December, so I probably couldn't take it then. So I'm taking it in two weeks. Dumb situation. Even dumber yet, the Literature in English GRE is designed to be impossible unless you have read a ( Read more... )

Once again, to follow that post in order to cheer everyone up: My classes this semester are going fairly well, and next year looks like it's shaping up fairly well. I'm excited for that! Also, I need it to be spring soon. This weather grows on me, but not in a good way. More in a despair that it shall never be warm or ice-less again. Soon, I ( Read more... )
