When, oh when are they going to release The New Age on DVD?  I need to see that again!

OH SNAP.  they are showing Vision Quest right this moment the Fuse Network* and and boy oh boy am I enjoying it.

The last time I saw this movie it was in a theater and I was 15 and on a group date sorta thing.  My boyfriend and I and all our friends thought we were verrrrrry sophisticated for picking up on how homoerotic it was.

*(never heard of it.)

I feel like I spent my entire week having a flat tire, and then sitting in the waiting room at the tire store reading issues of every single fashion and home decoration magazine, ever.  This is what happens when I ignore the advice my friend's mom gave many years ago: always bring a book with you, everywhere.  It may have cured me of wanting to ( Read more... )

Oh hi.  So, due to the fact that my friend Cynthia has proposed a weekly Lost TV-viewing night, and that Cynthia and I both made New Year's resolutions to be more social, and the fact that I have a cat-crush on Cynthia's cat and will jump at any chance to go cuddle with him, I have decided to start watching the show Lost.  I've never watched it, ( Read more... )

Best "overheard on campus" yet:  "So I told him, if I did so well on the ASVAB, what makes you think I'm going to fall for your recruitment spiel?"

Good news: my resume has never looked this fabulous.

Bad news: so it turns out the job that looked so amazing, for which I was polishing the resume, was filled back in June.

I had a dream last night that I came up with a wonderful, devastatingly hilarious response to the NY Times "hipster librarian" article that perfectly expressed the amount of ambivalence and annoyance and "where the fuck is my $51,000/year librarian job" emotion that I feel about it.  That is one knee-jerk response that never goes away, having seen ( Read more... )
