I don't think I've seen any of the movies nominated for picture of the year. That's unusual for me. Also, if anyone was getting nominated from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, it should have been Jim Carrey. I adore Kate Winslet, but this was the first time Jim Carrey has ever actually acted and it turns out he's pretty damn good. And na-ha ( Read more... )

Today I called my mom to vent about having to take time out of my schedule to do things that are simply not my responsibility and she put me on speakerphone because she was giving Isabella a bath in the sink. Bella was very confused because she could hear me but couldn't figure out how I got into the little box my voice was coming out of. She fake ( Read more... )

I've never been so excited to see that I had classes cancelled. I am so freaking tired and it was going to be painful to focus for three more hours today, even after a nap in my truck and a nice little conversation in the hallway. Speaking of napping in my truck, I have no business driving next door to go to school but if I didn't on Monday, ( Read more... )

All I wanted to say is the more reading I try to get done to stay on top of my classes this semester, the more excited I am about each of my classes. I have five classes and there isn't one that I'm not interested in. This is how it's supposed to be when you're in your upper division work. It's not supposed to be drudgery. So, would it have been ( Read more... )

On The OC last year, I learned that the way you spend New Year's Eve is the way you spend the rest of the year. Looking at my calendar so far, I'd have to say this is fairly accurate. I worked and now I'm at home, online, doing a quick email check and journal post. Don't think I'm a total loser, I totally had invitations to things for tonight but ( Read more... )

The thing about being in Texas is that it's a different time zone. What happens is I stay up until normal California-ish bed time and then have to wake up in Texas time. In "Isabella is ready to get up in Texas" time actually. This morning my mom came over to take care of the baby so I could sleep in. Awesome. At 7 am, I heard a little baby ( Read more... )

So I realize it's been awhile... I'll try to fill in the gaps over the next few days...

It's a quote from a movie, not a proclaimation of my own ( Read more... )

So me and Toi organized a little dinner hang out time this weekend and my contribution was twice-baked potatoes. For whatever reason, I haven't made them in ages and quite frankly, that's just a shame. I need to COOK more often, because when I do, it's good stuff. The hang out thing was good stuff too. All the Starbucks employees tried to cheat at ( Read more... )

I watch Alias because every episode kicks so much ass that I'm tired after watching. The West Wing is utterly captivating and makes me wonder how similar discussions in the real West Wing are and why we can't just have Jed Bartlett as president. Scrubs is hilarious and frankly that's enough without even factoring the utter delightful appeal of Zach ( Read more... )
