Here are a few photos from the summer including Spock as the Heisman Trophy.

Harry Potter proved to be fun. Sarah looked like an undead, ultra flamboyant founding father (young Tom Riddle). Elizabeth had awesome scale face makeup she did herself (Nigini). And I half-assed my way D: (Tonks). Next movie Sarah and I have settled on Grindlewald and Dumbledore. Last movie, Dead!Sirius and Dead!Remus.

Mike, Elsbeth, and Paul came to visit for a few days. It was a lot of fun. I miss them a whole lot :(

I have so much nerdraging to do I can't keep my head straight to do it properly. Torchwood, Iron Man 2, Captain America, Matt Fraction...it never ends. I mean, Black Widow, really? She's one of my least favorite characters. Maybe it's just cause she's up on Tony's junk all the time, but that sort of thing doesn't usually bother me. I don't know, she just bothers me. Also, as much as I like Scarlett Johansson, I'm not sure she's going to be able to pull off Natasha. I'm just dubious all the way around, but enough of that. I'll post something of content soon, I promise.

Star Trek just shit the bed on me.
All my drops in WoW suck.
Further updates to follow.

News flash: This is the first time I've seen my dog asleep since she was a puppy. I think she hasn't slept for three years...UNTIL NOW.

Further updates to follow.

I need to update better.
Chicago turned out to be much fun. There are pictures here. I now have a stuffed squid and a storm trooper belt buckle.

The first thing I did upon coming home was see Star Trek with Jonathan and Kevin, and holy shit. ontd_startrek has taken over my life in so many ways. I need to re-watch TNG now.

Someone tried to steal my car a few weeks ago. Broke the window and cut all the wiring on the steering column. Epic fail on their part. All they managed to do was make the car undrivable and bleed all over the place.

Have a new laptop. Has a gig dedicated to the graphics card. Wow is beautiful. Restarted my account. I should ding 80 soon.

Taking a class at Vandy. US 1877-1945. It's pretty good so far.
Unemployed. I need to do something away from Nashville, I think.

We didn't go to Hypericon. I pointed out to Elizabeth we could achieve the same effect by dressing up and sitting around my house.

Hung out with Jenny and her new car on Thursday and had bubble tea for the first time. I'm not so sure about it. Went to a talk at the Frist by a former co-worker I have a major friend-crush on.

Finished Dollhouse. Lolwhut, Joss?

Want to have a little kid birthday party next weekend, but seeing as all the movies that come out on my birthday suck, it might have to be ST themed. I wouldn't complain. Also, loltastic.

Back to stumbling and making icons? D:

Week in review so I can immortalize my last, fascinating weeks of college in livememory.

Tuesday: Told that I was not going to pass Jenelle's class, and therefore would not actually be graduating for reals. Worked on elevator caper with Paul. Watched Trigun with Nate until we fell asleep.

Wednesday: Elevator caper. Pictures here. Turned science center elevator into a p.i. office. I was Cynthia, Dixon Hill's secretary. Being on an elevator all day does weird things to your legs. Watched The Shining for the first time. It was kind of disturbing and scary. Nate falling asleep and breathing on the back of my neck didn't help. Jack Nicholson might be the only person who's gotten less creepy with age.

Thursday: Dicking around...I don't remember anything specific.

Friday: Meeting about academic things. I can probably just take a summer course to square it away. Whew. Concert/recital thing. Lit ball with Clare. Finished Trigun finally.

Saturday: Really really free market. Worked on bikeshare bike with Paul. Sunburn. Worked on Mike's car a little. Beers outside with those other kids. Watched Wall-e with Paul, Clare, and Nate. It was adorable and really sad from time to time. After everyone left Nate and I watched The Matrix for some reason with some glorious Drunkington time as an intermission.

Sunday: Game. took. forever.

Today: Went to lunch with Mike, got some super cheap sunblock that has the consistency of paint, put on white trash looking clothing, then we got paint brushes and 40s and worked on his car. The drunk made me tired and I took a nap and I've been staring at screens ever since.

Tomorrow I do most of Tom's paper. Also, last day of classes. O.o

( picture meme stolen from Emily )

It's been a while.
Um.
Stuff is about the same.
I need to finish this paper so I can graduate. Thinking about doing work almost makes me feel physically ill. Had a panic attack about school last Wednesday. Spent all of Thursday hiding in Nate's room sleeping. Got out of bed three times: twice to pee and once to look at pictures Mike had posted to nedroid of our bathroom, Beartato toilet, and Reginald sink. The weather was beautiful, Jim was here, and I missed it all. There was karaoke outside which was entertaining to listen to, though it did wake me up.
Saturday Clare, Nate, Paul, and I went on a bike ride to Big Hill park. I failed. Upon returning home there was little to do, so we took Mike hostage and then made Elsbeth shave his legs. Then there was a Drunkington and Shoe and I dyed Irene's hair. I passed out on my face and woke up around 8:30 in a very awkward position.
Pictures here and here.
Today game was canceled and Clare, Mike, Nate, and I played Zombies.
None of this is homework. Shit.
Mike and I are halfway through like three different art projects. He says there's a parallel universe where we're at art school going "Man, I seriously need to finish this painting, but I really just want to write a critical analysis of Othello."
I can't really think of anything else.
It needs to be a month ago.

Things have seemed extra college-y lately and I'm not sure why.

Last week was super quiet as Brasington was getting geared up for his one man play, Patrick barely exists during the day because of his nocturnal job, and Mike spends most of his time with Elsbeth now and is infrequently home. I came dangerously close to restarting my wow account, but resisted temptation and have been working on my Shadowrun character instead. One build is a vampire Voodoo chick and the other (just for shits and giggles) is a party centaur. He has all the spells like intoxicate, orgy, and entertainment.

At some point during the week I came home to Patrick practicing taking off his suit so that Dan Aykroyd (who was in Madison signing stuff) could sign his boobs.

Friday I went to Brasington's show "Here Lies Henry", which was really very good. Mike and Bill had a very short game of naked/strip tag, and then there was abundant sitting around on Whitney ground trying to figure out something to do. Something ended up being making brownies with a peanut butter center and n64 games. Then Nate and I watched season 3 of Venture Bros. until very late o'clock.

Saturday contained a lot of lollygagging until early afternoon when we had a group cleaning of Mike's room to prepare for Macks who is without home due to flooding. We set him up with a pretty sweet spread including a computer (does not work), record collection and player, bass and amp, tv and Nintendo+games, and awful promo material from the 90s WBCR got rid of. Emily and Elsbeth worked on their theses forever. Becca Miner made a onesie out of some of Mike's clothes while she, Nate, and I wrote a collaborative story about the Brasington Twins. Usual C-haus sitting, though Mike was more filled with rage than usual as the contrast between the week and work was more dramatic than usual (happy week vs stupid drunk people). Brasington turned into Drunkington. Passed out way early. It was nice to have so many people around, though.

Sunday was restless nearly all afternoon. Had a sammich. Game was canceled. I altered a shirt. Nate and I ate greasy Chinese food and watched Trigun until the sleep times.

For a fairly uneventful weekend, that's quite a long entry. I was just reading old entries and wishing I had been more explicit in describing some things so I could better remember what had happened. This might be too much. Whatevs, who reads all of these things besides Md and me, anyway?

Now...
To-do list:
-watch A Thousand Acres & write a comparison with King Lear.
-figure out the other half of that Tom paper (good luck) and write it.
-go to the gym?
-clean room.
-Rob things.
-research for Eve paper.
-kill academics dead.

Dear Diary,
Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy.
Today we were kidnapped by hillfolk, never to be seen again.
It was the best day ever.

I hate academics with a burning passion.
Clare, Paul, and I arrived at Paul's house last night. Soon after that, we went to Watchmen. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. There were a few things that pissed me off, but overall, it could have been worse.
Today we went to the mall, then to a really big, overwhelming electronics store.
I'm going through meat withdrawal.
Further updates to follow.

Boo.

Paul's threatening to beat us and smash things in order to get Mike and I to write our papers. As a reward, pancakes.
Send help.
