Was bored at work as per usual when I remembered that my Latin professor had mentioned websites with vocab and grammar drills. And I found them, and they are great. No, really, this is seriously fun stuff. When you get the right answer, a little smiley face pops up next to that question. I am sitting here grinning madly over it. Smilies give ( Read more... )

Claudia the Work-Study Student, who is waging an ongoing campaign to get me to give up coffee for my own good, has now begun a second project, training Lisa of Desk Two to like people. Lisa hates everyone both for their complicity in the existence of modern society as it stands and for any impact they happen to have upon her daily life. Claudia ( Read more... )

Just saw V for Vendetta. Only really strong words synonymous with "freakin' awesome" can be used to describe this movie. So wonderfully, wonderfully entertaining. And beautiful. And funny. And tweaked. And beautiful gets listed again. And so not something I really thought could be playing in this country right now. And the line to get in ( Read more... )

This morning has fucking rocked. Made it to the gym, got into work, discovered that Al had brought us all Irish soda bread, but that no one was wearing green. Spent an hour cutting up green cardstock folders to make everyone in the office shamrocks. They're all wearing them now.

Thing is, there is no previous statement, and there is absolutely nothing I have purchased from NYU for the amount of $755. That, and I discovered in the ( Read more... )

Tonight, for my amusement, I experimented with walking into a Latina hair salon and seeing what happened. My amusement turns out to be short-lived. I do believe I have lost my soul. The soul was housed in the hair, you see.

Saturday. Latin class in the morning. ( RANT )

So those pictures I've been saying I'll post since Courtney's birthday? Posted! Ha-ha! All it took was Rachel's holding a big metaphorical stick over my head and essentially saying, "I am watching the internet until they appear; go, now!"

Sometimes I worry about my lack of ability to maintain a good depressive funk. Things were _wrong_ yesterday, and they are not yet fixed, and so I should still be bothered by them. But it is really and truly spring this morning, and it had clearly just rained but was not raining on me as I walked to the subway, and I did not have to wear my heavy ( Read more... )
