So I'm watching a show called UFC Ultimate Fight Night Live on Spike TV. I'm not watching this for the fights, mind you. I'm watching it for the laughs. The first laugh is when you look at the title of the show ("LIVE!") and the logo in the corner ("Spike TV LIVE!"), then notice the message they display when coming back from a commercial (" ( Read more... )

Semi-stolen from queenfan04, I've made additions when necessary to enhance the meaning and/or sarcasm behind some of the entries.

2005 Year in Review!(To make your own, go to your journal archive and find the first entry for each month of 2005 and post the first line or so ( Read more... )

Well, I had been delaying this post since I still have friends who have final exams and the like to take care of but... I'm 95% sure that I'm finished with my first semester as a grad student. There's still a chance that Kathleen March will e-mail me asking for something extra for translation class but I doubt that even if I do get such a ( Read more... )

Like a prairie dog of doom, it rises from the ground. Three demonic heads jut out from its massive shoulders, their fangs forming a trio of twisted smiles. Crackles of dark energy flow between the fingers of its meaty hands, which end in razor-sharp claws. Sensing a target for its rage, it lets out a roar that sounds like... a lion with a head ( Read more... )

So... the light in my dorm is burned out and I'm using my Coleman lantern and a bottle lamp for light. I would have my desk lamp but I loaned it to faechylde because her light burned out too... and then her own desk lamp stopped working. Speaking of her, she's still sick. Cutler Health Center bounced around with the diagnosis a lot, suspecting everything ( Read more... )

It's funny, these past few days I've been watching my fellow students running around, stressing out about their midterms and... I can't sympathize. Granted, I did have a particularly nasty theater history "exam" (in quotations because it was really just a race against time) but it's times like these that my class schedule doesn't seem so bad, even ( Read more... )

So, still no job, still no ideas on what I'll be doing for my semester abroad and still no computer- though I have ordered a laptop and with any luck I'll have it by October. On top of that, there's a bunch of friggin' drama around the dorm involving drunken asses and the like. faechylde's had a rough month too... she's only now getting rid of most of the ( Read more... )

Well... I thought the difficulties of moving in were the worst things I'd have to face at the start of this semester but it turns out I have another problem that blows the standard crud away like (insert inappropriate Hurricane Katrina reference here). My desktop decided to fizzle out and stop booting up soon after classes started, leaving me to ( Read more... )

First off, here's some info for my fellow college-types. I'll be moving into my room at Estabrooke Hall on the evening of Thursday, September 1st. With any luck, I'll be able to hook up to the campus ethernet and be online for instant messages or other forms of electronic taunting. If I remember to bring a phone, and if I can figure out what my ( Read more... )

I don't know why I feel obligated to update this thing. Maybe because I habitually check my friends list to see who's updated and feel hypocritical for never updating myself. The truth is, I've been biding my time so I could post a super cool update with a photo and everything but unfortunately I don't have the photo I want (nor a site that it's ( Read more... )
