I have decided this is my favorite commercial in the whole world. That duckie at the end is so unbearably cute that I cried after watching it the first time. Besides, it's such a nice message, isn't it? Saving the duckies and the teensy otters from oil spills? And did you see that paw? Omfg. DEATH BY CUTENESS. Leave a comment  1 

300 is really graphic and bizarre, but the Spartans are hawt and the way they fight is almost like dance. I like that the director decided to slow the battles down so you could really enjoy them and become familiar with the fighting techniques (and, you know, stare in awe at the godlike muscles). I wonder how much of their physiques was faked with ( Read more... )

It's funny how two tiny little lines on one's stomach can make one so happy. Now, granted, I'm still a bit squidgy in places, but seeing a little definition is very encouraging. I think today I'm going to go to the gym and build on that. Besides, it's a good way to meet people, and I certainly need all the excuses I can come up with for making ( Read more... )

I had my first classes today. There's one girl in my class I know I'm going to be friends with. She actually reminds me somewhat of you, Miranda, but I can't quite put my finger on why. She's half Chilean but looks white and she's very witty and sarcastic, just what I like. Her name is Jen, she said ( Read more... )

I spent over an hour yesterday trying to learn how to put contacts in my eye. I worked really hard at it and got really close, but I had a lot of trouble keeping my eyes open wide enough, and by the end of it my eyes were really sore and dry even with all the solution I put in them. It was really frustrating, but I know that now that I've slept on ( Read more... )

I GOT INTO THE HONORS PROGRAM!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!

I'm going to get my wisdom teeth extracted tomorrow. Yikes. I'm about to head off to the store to buy an entire freezer's worth of ice cream now, and in the morning I get to take sedatives until I go off to La-La-Land. This should prove to be exciting. Well, for my mom, maybe, 'cause (hopefully) I'll be really mellow during the whole procedure. Oh ( Read more... )

This has been a crazy, crazy week. I've had throbbing headaches that have frightened my family and myself; I've been dizzy; I've been more exhausted than ever before; I've gone to the doctor; I've gotten blood work done with a Hispanic nurse, whom I talked to in her native tongue; I've scheduled an appointment with a neurologist to make sure I don' ( Read more... )

Finally got meds for the cold! I should be all better in no time. It was a pretty expensive trip to the doctors just for a minor illness, though. 40 euros for the visit and 10ish for the pills from the pharmacy. But 'sok. I shall be reimbursed forthwith.

So Friday, at seven thirty in the morning (eep!), I'm going to begin my journey to...Morocco! ( Read more... )
