You know, I was going to post and be all smug about the fact that we've had SNOW since Thursday (which is a Thing! We don't usually get ANYTHING this close to Christmas, and especially not a solid few inches! Everything looks beautiful, the weather managed to put a dopey smile on my face even while on my way to an 8 a.m. Latin class, but also the ( Read more... )

I am seriously about to fall asleep, you know, BEFORE 9 PM, which I guess I should have seen coming when I set my alarm for 6.40 this morning to babysit a (very cute) five-year-old. We had fun, though! I read her a book and she taught me a board game involving snails, one of which was somewhat inexplicably named Lady GaGa. IDK, you guys. That's ( Read more... )

Aaaaah, you guys, I am only one grade for one paper away from my BA transcript (which I will eventually pick up in order to... hand it right back in so they'll let me stay in the Master program, I guess?

... I realize there are, like, three people on my flist who'll have any idea what the fuck I'm even talking about (actually, there will be more on this tomorrow! OH, WILL THERE BE MORE ON THIS) but if you would like to see 2 minutes and 57 seconds of German soap opera JOY set to a very lovely song by The Divine Comedy that are pretty much ( Read more... )

Via mrsronweasley, under the heading of Dudes Not Getting It Theatre (tm bexone):

Page Six claims that the "gay spin" on Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson - as played by Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law in Guy Ritchie's flick, out on Christmas Day, could "backfire." Former Post movie critic Michael Medved says: "Who is going to want to see Downey Jr. and Law make out? I ( Read more... )

When I glanced at my TV just now, CNN was running a banner that said, EXCLUSIVE. Geithner: Banks are not zombies.

Well. Thanks for clearing that up, then.
