Fanime 2012
So Fanime was pretty much a win. I went as Donna Noble, and Kerry came with as Rose Tyler (she was mildly upset that she felt she ended up looking more like a Jenny, but considering she got actually identified as Rose and never misidentified, I think it turned out fine). And although we missed all but the stragglers of the Wholock gathering, we ( Read more... ) -
Impulse posting is bad for my sanity, but good for the laughs
So my neurologist prescribed me a new drug for my migraines (which hey, I'm always down to try something that actually works) but the catch is it's in the form of an injection, and I can honestly say that prior to this whole adventure I've never given myself an injection before (no epi pens, nothing) so I was sort of apprehensive about the whole ( Read more... ) -
Yay for last-minute Halloween costumes.
I'm not sure if a lot actually happened this week or if I'm just getting old before my time.
I saw Sarah in the Little Mermaid this week, which was definitely fun, and needless to say, Sarah was awesome. I'm not sure exactly what I thought the costumes were going to look like given I kept getting confused by Sarah's descriptions beforehand, but the ( Read more... ) -
I now have an everlasting hatred for that one song the USC marching band plays over and over and...
So I just got back from visiting Indiana with my family (sans Michael, who was doing college apps - He's growing up so fast!) and it was pretty epic. I barely had time to breathe, it felt like, but I had a great time. I got to catch up with Rachel and Jennifer, found out that Jennifer actually has a lot of cool friends that aren't invisible, went ( Read more... ) -
Why do I do this to myself?
As is usual, I haven't updated in ages but now that I'm supposed to be working on term papers due tomorrow morning I seem to have a bizarre urge to write ANYTHING BUT THE THINGS I DESPERATELY NEED TO BE WORKING ON. My health has been utterly awful this quarter thus my professors giving me extensions to write my term papers but either my ( Read more... ) -
RU-FI-O!!!
We interrupt our regularly scheduled broadcast (ie, me talking about Japan) to bring you my EPIC REALIZATION:
(disclaimer: if you knew this already, you're not allowed to make fun of me--just be smug in silence)
THE GUY WHO PLAYS RUFIO IN HOOK DID THE VOICE FOR ZUKO IN ATLA!!!
Does this not blow your mind??? It made me so happy when I realized it. I ( Read more... ) -
DONE!!!
So, I just pulled an all-nighter to finish my final paper for this quarter, and I'm now officially DONE. It is summer! Not that you'd be able to tell at the moment, since apparently LA has decided to be oddly gray today. Still a lovely 70 degrees out, though, so I won't complain.
But yes, it has been turned in, and I'm about to turn myself into bed ( Read more... ) -
Rainy May
It really is quite amazing how little things can so vastly improve my mood. I started the day not exactly grumpy, but not particularly happy with the fact I had to walk to campus at 8am. But then three little things happened:
1. I got back my rough draft of my final paper for one of my classes from my TA, and not only did I get marked down by only 0 ( Read more... ) -
Why can't I feel inspired to write something USEFUL right now?
Apparently my urge to procrastinate on my gene patents paper has gone to the point that I'm updating a journal I haven't written anything for in over a year. I just can't seem to help it. I'm telling myself that at least I'm sitting at my computer writing something rather than lying down reading, which has a disturbing tendency to result in my ( Read more... )
