So yesterday, after realizing I had slept until 6:30 PM and had missed class, I pretty much refused to engage with the rest of the world. A lot of it, I think, was because I had been up for 36 hours, and it still took me two hours to get to sleep. I guess it's a good thing that I have an appointment for next Saturday.

Today was slightly better. I watched an old Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney movie that was playing on TCM. The British stereotypes greatly annoyed me, but other than that it was fun. I'm still 90% convinced that the movie was about gay jockey love. I mean, seriously, all that time together and neither one made a move on Garland? Ridiculous. Garland and Rooney belong together, in every movie.

sixbitsforfact (is that okay? Can I use her name like that?) came over for happy hour, and then we walked into town. We stopped by Barnes & Noble and I picked up the LoTR trilogy. I already had Fellowship, but it was the version with Elijah on the cover and although I like it, I couldn't find the two other companions to that version, so I figure I can sell it or give it away. I feel a lot better having the trilogy being of the same print. If that makes sense? Anyway, it was large paperback and it only cost $30, which I think is decent considering that they look pretty nice. Then we went for ice cream, and then we walked home. Which means I haven't had dinner, but I know there's an extra pizza slice waiting for me downstairs, and some rice.

Wizard of Oz was waiting on TCM for me when I got home, as well as a movie that I spent about a year trying to track. It was finally on megaupload (and megavideo too!), and I'm really happy that I found it. It may or may not be another Mickey Rooney flick...I'm semi-obsessed with Andy Hardy.

I've almost to the end of Buffy and Angel seasons 1 and 4, but I decided to take a little break, since I feel like I've been watching too much TV on my computer. I've also decided to "not stay up all night" but I don't know how well that is going to take. I have to get up before 4 for an interview, so at least I won't sleep in all day.

There are way too many movies playing in DC for me to keep track of. As well as a bunch of plays for the DC Fringe Festival. Why was I not aware of all the amazing DC things before? Bethesda is boring as hell, I should be living in the city! But at least I've latched on now. I've always loved AFI, and in the next couple of days they're playing "Clue" and "Empire Strikes Back". I think I've missed out on seeing "Legend". Goodbye Tom Cruise on a unicorn! And then E Street is playing "Best Worst Movie" which I've been dying to see for years. There's no way I'm missing that.

Well, that seems to be it for now. I attempted a couple of poems the other day, but I haven't made any progress on that Glee fic. I think I need a plot. That seems to be a bit lacking. I haven't forgotten to clean up sitrow, I just...haven't done it yet. Oh well. Such is life.

Behold! New icons, new header (and a shiny new one for my writing journal if I choose to get a layout), new wallpaper (though you can't see that for obvious reasons) and I actually went through my folder and deleted all the old icons I probably wasn't going to use. Despite the fact that I haven't found a job or written anything or picked up a book after American Gods two days ago or finished a movie... I feel strangely productive. I've consistently got up at 2, and I set my alarm last night but I was up until 4 or 5, so I just hit snooze and went on with my life. Tomorrow will be better on that front, I hope.

Okay, it's very hard to concentrate on the scene when one of my favorite Bugs Bunny cartoons is playing in the background. And what's with the opera theme anyway?

Also, Vogon poetry!!!

My second season of Drake & Josh finally finished, and I'm also trying to watch Bye, Bye, Birdie, but Rosie has refused so I'm going to have to find the time at night when she's asleep to watch it. I'm also trying to catch up on HIMYM, but Mediafire is being a little bitch, and in an attempt to reboot my QI download, I inadvertently got rid of 50%+ files, which sucks a lot because downloading is very slow right now. The estimated remaining time is 3 days, sometimes 7, sometimes 25. Catching up is hard to do....

P.S. DO NOT WATCH REPO MAN! SAVE YOURSELVES BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!!

P.S.S. I found a funny new cute comic! It's called Girls with Slingshots. Check out one of my favorite strips:



ETA: Favorite quote of the night is - "I have the sneaking suspicion that we're lame."

So, it hasn't even been a week since I last updated.

Improvement!

Granted, mostly it's out of boredom from being in Software Apps. But I'm not going into that. Oh now. I'm about to go on a rant (it will probably have to be continued tonight after I finish my homework, and only after) about "Charmed Thirds", "Heroes", and maybe even something not concerning my reactions and complaints and excitements.

But probably not.

Not that I don't care about anyone else, because I do. But I find that the best kind of therapy for my life is writing about it, and although you might disagree with medium (and I'm using "you" loosely, because I'm pretty sure no one reads this), I like it. Hey, I'm a Leo, I require the attention.

Anyway, yesterday, I came home, and found out just how addicted to Jessica Darling I am. I finished the last 100 or so pages instead of doing my homework. It was stupid, but I got to the point where if I didn't finish the book, then I would have been distracted anyway. I needed to see Marcus and Jessica back together again. It was like the time that Lorelai and Luke were seperated for the first time, and I had to watch all the episodes in one night until they got back together. I'm pretty sure this addictive behavior to romance that is not my own is troublesome. But I enjoy it. I get a thrill from knowing how right for each other two people are, and I can't wait for them to see it. I think it has something to do with the fact that they broke up with each other first. Because that just makes the desire all the more intense. Then again, after I finished reading the book, I felt that insatisfaction I get when everything turns out exactly the way I want it to, and then the book just ends. I know she plans on writing another book, which I'm ecstatic about, but I'm still thinking about the book, and I'm pretty sure I will go back to it intermittently for the next couple of weeks. There are a few books that have this affect on me. Also, I realized, that in the last post, I said that I thought that Jessica and I are on the same intellectual level, which was probably wrong. I'm starting to think that she's smarter, but then again, she's been through college, and fictional. I'm not putting myself down, I just think she's smarter, is all.

On to the next subject. "Heroes". The show love of my life. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm as much as fan as Gilmore Girls, Smallville and Supernatural as ever. But Heroes is seriously addictive. Like, I'm pretty sure I'm as obsessed with Heroes as other people are with Lost. My dad wanted to watch a game last night, instead of taping the last half of my show, and I literally threw a fit. It should be said that I only really get emotional over stupid things, so it's pretty run-of-the-mill. I have yet to really get terribly upset over something I should be getting terribly upset about. I made a compromise with him, which stated that I would go upstairs and finish my math homework away from the TV if he wouldn't change the channel. Thus, I never got to finish the second half of the show. Even so, the first half was spectacular. So much happened, I actually thought that the show was almost over when my dad came down, instead of half a whole other segment left. Lots of things started to make sense, especially since the episode took place six months before the pilot, so we get the beginning of all the Heroes. For example, we learn that Niki has a twin sister Jessica, who tragically died one way or another. That makes sense. Sorry for the spoiler, but I did say that I was going to talk about the show. Anyway, that's the end of the period. Bye.
