Under the cut are 12 pictures. Please analyze their expressions as one of the following: happiness, fear, anger, sadness, disgust, surprise, rejection, invitation.

Halloween was fun fun fun. I got some pretty good responses to my costume, so that was great--I even managed to scandlize Betty the security guard, which, considering the number of scandalous things she must have seen in her 80 or so years at Vassar, is pretty impressive. And I was very happy to see Katie finally just let loose and show the world ( Read more... )

Tonight's ANTM photo shoot has scarred me for life. That was absolutely horrifying. An aging Fabio trying to be sexy with girls 25 years younger than him--nuzzling, kissing, licking, biting! Just...ugh! I couldn't even look at the final pictures. I feel so sick.

Back at school after a week off, and finding it hard to get back into the swing of things (or as into the swing of things as I ever was, which wasn't very much)--it feels like I've been gone for much longer.

It was pretty interesting--not nearly as much whore-ish-ness as I expected from a couple of them. But what was most surprising was that, out of a group ( Read more... )

I watched some 'Sports Night' and 'West Wing' the other day, and I got to thinking about the recycled storylines and jokes we can expect to see in 'Studio 60'--we've already seen a few, and the season's only three episodes in ( Read more... )

I spent a simply lovely weekend with Caitlin. Friday night we sat around my room, drinking wine, eating funfetti cake, watching MST3K and bad 80s movies. Saturday we went to the mall, where Caitlin got some red shirts for her new job at Target and I stole some wonderfully tacky earring from The Icing (as well as a refill for my Wisp air freshener ( Read more... )

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, songs of 'A Series of Unfortunate Events,' by Stephen Merritt: The Gothic Archies: The Tragic Treasury

Seriously, it's so fucking sweet, I can't even articulate.

Just finished reading both Golden Compass and Subtle Knife, and I decided to look in on what is going on with the movie. On Wikipedia, I came across this troubling news from director Chris Weitz:
"In an interview published on the internet in December 2004, Weitz indicated that the film would make no direct mention of religion or of God; two of the ( Read more... )
