As Saturday is Velociraptor Awareness Day (according to Facebook, anyway), I feel that I should tell you all (or remind some of you) about this:

Sometimes I look at the movie schedule for TCM and it's all I can do to keep myself from skipping class and staying home to watch TV all day. More and more, though, I am discovering that several old movies are available to watch online. More than I would expect. This new development is completely awesome and means that if I forget to record ( Read more... )

I found that out last Friday. Yesterday I put a deposit down for an apartment in a good location ( ( Read more... )

Okay. So we're going to set the date for comps, and that's fine now. It took me a day and a half of doing nothing to get used to it (but thankfully, there was no extreme drinking, which was my initial instinct). I had to spend time sitting outside and breathing, and I also had a couple of good, cathartic cries. I still think I'm going to lose my ( Read more... )

Dear me in ten years,

In 3.5 months I will be entering old age, apparently. I'm currently trying to make the most of my last few months at my "mental peak." I hope you're enjoying being "old" (as these people would have you believe you are). ( Read more... )
