I'm probably the only person on earth who is thinking this, but I really really want some homework. A nice, medium-sized essay, or a poster to do, or something along those lines. I worked at the bank all during break so this is feeling a bit like vacation time to me right now. That's great, of course, but it also means I have no drive to do ( Read more... )

This is the first time I've been online in about two weeks because my internet really sucks. I'll be brief before I get kicked offline ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went to the library to find a book I could read within the two day span I have left at school. My first thought was The Golden Compass, since the movie just came out, I've never read it before, and the lovely Cleolinda Jones has just written an m15m about it. Of course, all of the library's copies are checked out. I had about a 20 ( Read more... )

Justine and I have discovered something awful. The Book, the world's last bastion against technology, is being turned into a palm-pilot-like-device. I saw it myself at Borders. Sony (and I think a few other companies) has come up with this awkward looking hand-held thing with a screen. You load the 'book' cartridge in the back like a video game.  ( Read more... )

I am never watching reality TV where there are people competing for a prize ever, ever again. Yesterday I spent the entire day watching an "America's Next Top Model" marathon. And by 'all day,' I mean from 8 in the morning to 10 at night. I was invested ( Read more... )

I've just read a couple of different posts from people, and I am deeply ashamed. What do you people have against question marks and capitalized i's? If you ask ANY question--be it casual or not--it NEEDS to end in a question mark. For example, even something as slangy as the phrase "You know what" needs to end in this manner ( Read more... )

Our fire alarm needs new batteries, so it's been beeping loudly all night. That makes me sad. I also saw 'Elizabeth: The Golden Age,' and while it was kind of a frivolous movie (as in: it didn't desperately need to be made), it was still fantastic and gorgeous.  There is one scene, however, that I just couldn't take seriously. Allow me to ( Read more... )

In response to Megan's post, I shall also wish you a very happy Guy Fawkes day. As an English major, I'm just waiting for a Guy De Maupassant day . . . because I'm a loser ( Read more... )

Megan and I were lounging in our room, as we tend to do. Megan was eating pumpkin seeds and I said something smart-assy. She said, "I'm going to throw a pumpkin seed at you," and then proceeded to aim one at me. So, to throw her off, I readjusted and opened my mouth to catch the food, like guys do all the time ( Read more... )

Happy Halloween, everyone!
