I have a metric ass ton of work to do for tomorrow. I've got about 5 pages left on this Shakespeare essay and I have to do like six slides for my powerpoint presentation for my Anthropology class.

So instead of doing all of that, I went hunting for a new LJ layout and mood theme. Check it out, they're sexy. ;D

Dear Torchwood,

I can't be friends with you anymore. I would apologize, but I think you should have been expecting it after the shit you pulled last night.

Sincerely,
Kristin

Also, I had to buy a new lighter because my mom's friend stole my accidentally. I wasn't paying attention in the store, and didn't look at the one the guy sold me until I got outside.

So I'm now the owner of a Boston Red Sox lighter.

XD No comment, out of sheer respect and love for maggiesox. But me even having a baseball lighter is sort of wtfy.

Oh dear lord. I'm going through all my old notebooks now (later I will post a picture of the ridiculousness that is my two-feet-high stack of notebooks) and just found my old TDF game notebook.

TDF being the series of murder mystery roleplaying games I used to run.

Oh my FUCK, I miss that. D: I've sort of banned myself from ever starting another game because I know my attention span is ridiculous to the point where I should be medicated about it, and I suck at keeping things running and together, but oh god. D: I miss TDF. Times infinity. If I keep going through these pages, I just know I'm going to attempt a revival. I should just chuck the whole thing. I'm only at Round 2. FIXMER. XD CRAZY FIXMER. ♥

Since I'm finally actually moving in to my bedroom - as in, posters on the walls, decorating, etc. - rather than just living in my office all the time (wtf, I have an office? That's what I've decided to call my computer room. My office - slash - gym since I have a computer and an exercise bike in here. xD) - I'm once more doing my Wall Of Quotes On Index Cards.

Anyone want to contribute a quote? Give me your favorite one. And your favorite color. And I will write it in that color marker because I found my vast collection of Sharpies. And then put it on my wall and see it every day. :D

GIVE ME YOUR QUOTES.



Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. The reason for my sudden renewed interest in my bedroom: my netbook is finally fixed!!! ;D At least it'd better be. Acer sent it back and it's in transit, expected to arrive Wednesday or so. I so hope it works, that would be sweet. I could bring it to school and my mom's and stuff. Hurray.

Randomly, does anyone have any interest in buying a Baby Sitters Club Kristy doll? It's the 16" one from 1993. This is in nowhere near collectors' condition - there's no box, for instance. Any of the extras (I think it came with a little baseball bat and a hat or something) have long since disappeared from my life. Because I got it 16 years ago. xD

Since it's clearly used I'll give you a good price. Uh, did I mention that dolls sort of creep me out? Yeah, all you people with the bjds and stuff, when you post pictures I go "eeeeek" and scroll by really fast before they steal my soul.

Someone buy this doll, okay? I could throw in some of my old BSC books. The ones that are in good condition anyway, some of them are yellowed/ripped slightly. But. Some of them are good. XD

I'm taking an Anthropology course over the summer. The last three credits I need to graduate from college. Hooray.

And I did have quite a bit of respect for my professor, like I do most of them, to begin with. This is a course about consumer culture and advertising prevalence and rise of capitalism and so far most of the discussions have been good, if not predictable. Consumerism = bad. Advertising = bad. Etcetera.

So then in the weekly class notes, the professor writes this:

I hope that you all had a good weekend and were able to celebrate Father's Day with family and friends. Just a couple of things this week.

We had a really good discussion about the consumer and you shared some very good ideas and thoughts. I look forward to our discussion this week about the Capitalist.

Great Deal!

I wanted to alert you to a deal from Microsoft that is unbeatable. If you do not have Microsoft Office Sutie, as a student 'you are able to purchase the ultimate version of it at an unbelievable price. Go to the following website and followthe instructions given if you are interested in purchasing the program or upgrading. Ultimate Steal! http://www.microsoft.com/student/discounts/theultimatesteal-us/default.aspx

Seriously?

Seriously?

The best part is that the "good discussion" we had last week? Part of it was about the prevalence of advertising in modern culture. And how it's everywhere, and it can sometimes be really detrimental.

Did she just miss the point? Or is this a secret test? I hope it's a secret test, because otherwise I've officially lost all faith I ever had in mankind.

This is the most disappointing article I've read all day. Dinosaurs are possibly only half as big as we originally thought they were.

Man. :( Is nothing sacred? First Pluto's not a planet anymore, then they tell me dinosaurs are only half as big as I grew up thinking. What next, science? What will you ruin next?

I wish I had a livejournal icon of someone shaking their fist at the sky, because now would be the time to use it.

And a teacher I had in middle school just got arrested for child porn.

Oh, ew.

(News story.)

Wow. Okay, so, have you ever been hanging around by yourself at night and kind of feel like you're in a horror movie? xD I hate getting creeped out. I'm the only one up and I'm hearing noises like furniture moving around. So I go to see what my grandmother's massive cats are doing and I find them and as I'm standing there petting one I hear another noise behind me and I turn around and there's nothing there but it's still totally creepy anyway.

So, there's that.

I went shopping for some stuff recently. Yay stuff. Nothing really too interesting. I got a few cute professional looking tops for potential job interviews yay. I mean, I really like the tops anyway so I'm kind of using it as an excuse to shop in the new Dressbarn, but whatever. I do look like one professional graduated snazzy person in them. And some khakis. There's a possibility of some kind of skirt. What Not To Wear says pencil skirts. I'm not so sure. xD

Oh and an exercise bike. It's pretty fun but really kind of makes my ass hurt. The seat is really not comfortable. But the bike is neat, it gives you a readout of what your speed is and how far you've gone and calories and whatnot. And the seat looks like it would be comfortable but in reality it is bullshit. I was trying to figure out a way to redneck a different seat onto there somehow. I wanted to get the one with the full seat, but it was too expensive. I'm really not in very good shape, so I have to kind of work up to longer workouts. But I did five miles today! \m/

Okay. I'm watching Weeds again. Nancy Botwin... damn. I mean, Mary Louise Parker is gorgeous and I'd hit it, but she's fucking crazy. xD I just started the fourth season. I've got to say, I love the guy characters on that show. Most of the chicks are insane. I think Isabelle might be the only female character who isn't crazy. And oh my god, when they had that Olsen twin on, I wanted to hit her character in the face.

Yes. So. I have animal crackers! :D

LMAO OMFG. Meet The Spy.

Valve finally did the Meet The Spy video and oh my god, I've never laughed so hard. XD That was fucking epic. I'm going to watch that again and again and again.

Good Morning Sir Alarm Clock.

I want this clock. No. No, I require this clock for my continued existence. Stephen Fry's voice. As Jeeves. XD Oh my god, it's the most awesome alarm clock ever, and I want Stephen Fry to wake me up every morning.

asdfjklasdf. Will own clock, some day.

Okay, I'm gonna go graduate now.

DOLLHOUSE GOT RENEWED.

Oh my god, Fox didn't screw us over? AWESOME.

BIG CHILL IS A BOUNCER NOW.

C'est ce qu'elle a dit.

JE N'AIME PAS FAIRE SES DEVOIRS DE CLASSE FRANCAIS. D:

... I just heard the weirdest thing. Apparently one of the biggest hits in Bollywood last year was a musical comedy remake of Memento.

Just, how do you even... what? xD How?

Madness is trying to convince someone who's having CHEST PAINS and CAN'T BREATHE that she should go to the fucking hospital.
