I just bought myself a paid account again for my birthday. I  think this is a more convenient time than November or whenever I had it from before. Anyway, yay!

Today's been cold, and I'm really not inclined to go to class, so I emailed my paper to my professor.

Cellphones. "Oh, sorry, hold on to this conversation we're having, I just got a text." I hate that, especially when they interrupt me mid-sentence. That and being the grammar-dork that I am, I'm driven crazy by the abbreviations that have appeared in text/ims "u" gets me every time.

I heard some woman talking very loudly in excruciating detail about her latest gynecological visit. It was horrific, and she just kept going. I don't need to know what your gyno said about your cervix, thanks.

I want to draw, I don't know what. This is frustrating me.

Billy brought us home a new Betta who I've decided is like the crazy fish in Finding Nemo; he thinks his reflection is another Betta. He keeps spazzing and staring at himself. But he's cute. Billy calls him Shinobi, I call him Doctor, but I think he needs a name that reflects his spaz-tastic-ness better. Anyway, here's the fishie: That's all for now.

Ok, well, here's the first creative writing stuff that's going up:

( Assignment One: Internal Conflict )

My fishie died. ;_;

I changed his water yesterday, and while he was in the tupperware he kept attacking his reflection, so I switched him over to a bowl. While he was in the bowl, he jumped out, and there was a bit of a struggle to get him back into the bowl. Then I was so freaked, I think I forgot to put water conditioner into his water. So, basically, I think it was one of those things that killed him. I'm sad.

( Pictures ) He was such a cool fish, too. He'd follow your finger around if you pointed to the food, and he'd watch everything going on around him and... man, this is sad. I guess we're gonna get a new fish... but I don't know.

I just rediscovered my love for Ouran Host Club. Wish I had the money for legit DVDs.

this is great. it makes me happy.

I had to read:
 - The Best of Everything by Rona Jaffe- do yourself a favor, and don't. Unless you're a fan of automats and typing pools and slutting it up in the 1950s.
 - The Bachelor Girl by Betsy Israel- interesting subject, dry writing.
 - Goddess for Hire by Sonia Singh- well, the premise seemed good; an Indian-American girl finds out she's posessed by the goddess Kali and chaos ensues, meanwhile she meets a hottie and finds out he doesn't want to marry her. Well, that sounds good, but then it's shallow and painful and ugh. Great idea, bad execution.
 - Sex & The Single Girl - Hilarious is the only word for it.
 - Looking for Mr. Goodbar- Ugh.
 - Other bits and pieces about bachelor girls.

I had to watch:
 - How to Marry a Millionaire - cute. It's like the archetypal chick-flick. They're women, they're pretty, they chase men, they get men, happily ever after.
 - Gentlemen Prefer Blondes - far more painful than How to Marry a Millionaire, but Jane Russell is gorgeous. I want to be like her. The story though is rather painful. Why would you want to be with a guy like that?
 - Breakfast at Tiffany's- Bizarre is the only word for it. Oh, and fuck Mickey Rooney.
 - Romancing the Stone- Anna, you need to watch it. It's got Michael Douglass and Kathleen Turner and it's great.
 - Bride Wars - shallow icky but entertaining like a train-wreck.
 - Annie Hall- Fuck Woody Allen. Bleh. It was supposed to be funny, but it wasn't. Except for the lobster scene. that actually was funny.
 - Klute- Prostitute + Murderer + Private Investigator + Skipping DVD = ;alkeja;elrajwerlkajwerl it would have been good, I think, if it had been watch-able.
 - Pillow Talk- Wow. Rock Hudson was so gay, and so much a sex symbol. It was amazing.
 - 27 Dresses- I hate the sister so much. It's such a great movie.
 - Bridget Jones's Diary- Fabulous as ever. <3 Colin Firth.
 - Under the Tuscan Sun- YAY! I heart this movie.

OK, now that I'm done with all that... I find out on the 20th what my grade was.

Anyone got any good carrot recipes?

Bride wars was awful. I hated the characters and the story. Bleh.

Woody Allen makes the WORST movies. I wanted to kill myself as I tried to watch it.

Not Matt Smith. He's so awkward looking. I'm hoping his acting is good enough to make up for it. I really hope so, because he's nothing like the doctor I envisioned.

That, and after David Tennant, nobody can compare.

Why on earth would you scorn someone? It's a personal choice. "Oh, he cuts his hair X way, obviously he's stupid!" Geez. It really is as silly as that. As long as they aren't blowing the smoke in your face or smoking somewhere illegal, what does it matter?

I feel bad for smokers, it would be nice if bars could offer covered areas outside for smokers on nights like that, but I'm certainly not going to join them.

I've always wondered about that. I think it's because they couldn't convince anyone that the freezer would be important at night? Because midnight snack materials don't usually hide in the freezer? Unless you count ice cream, but the middle of the night is usually too cold for ice cream.

My parents told me that it was because the light guy (who controls all automatic lights in cars and refrigerators and things) and his family preferred the greater space available in the fridge... that and the noise of the ice maker bothered them.

I have a fabulous boyfriend who can make me smile when I'm having a grumpy night.

A sample conversation:

Me: Pew pew pew?
Him: Pew Pew.
Me: Rail Gun?
Him: Yep!
Me: Woo Woo?
Him: WOO WOO!
Me: Awesome.
Me: <3
Him: :3
Him: WOO WOO!

I know that makes no sense, but he's playing a game where there's a gun that makes train noises every time you shoot it. It's awesome.

And I need to do my current events for Astronomy so I don't fail too miserably. Right now I'm hanging on desperately and hoping for a C. How sad is that? I just want a C. That's all. *sigh*

But... this weekend should be alright. Maybe not great, but at least alright.

Please vote No on Prop 8.

I use Google daily. It's a bit terrifying that it seems to be heading toward a modern monopoly of the internet, but at the same time, it's helpful.

Time and again it saves my ass when I need an answer for some homework, or I'm looking for a definition of something. I check my gmail account all the time- of my emails, this one has the best spam filters- and I use picasa to host most of my photos.

So, I'm with everyone else who seems to be saying "yay google!"
