GAAAAAHHHHHHH.
I've now put this paper off for about four months.
I cannot make myself get anything done.
Damn this.
Further updates to follow.

Jonathan and I finally made it to Valkyrie last night. It was pretty good and my problems with it were few and nitpicky. Also, Eddie Izzard fuck yeah! Elizabeth and I are going to see Repo! tonight. Hopefully this will be more successful than last time. I don't want break to be over, but I miss dance parties and being around people a lot.

In academic news, I can't even make myself do a really shitty job of typing this stuff up so it looks like I've actually been doing something instead of staring blankly at my notes for the last 3+ hours. I can tinker with it later and turn it into something resembling a coherent paper. Good God. Just get on with it, woman. Before it puts you to sleep.

In which I try to motivate myself )

New Year's was tons of fun. Pretty much everyone was there and we had a really grotesquely adorable toast after midnight about being friends for a long long time. Pool, Rockband, Tropic Thunder, booze, and a wonky air mattress. Pretty sure I left my camera at Andrew's house.
I had a phantom hair moment the next morning. Waking up I thought "Shit, all my hair is matted to the back of my head. Tangles. I'll have to shave my head." Then I remembered.
Also, I love Jenny Tang.
Nothing has been accomplished. Well, I've read some stuff I wanted to, but aside from that, very little. My cousin's wedding was really nice. My mom and I went downtown for a while the morning of and looked at all the monuments around the mall, the dinosaur bones at the Natural History Museum, and split up going to the Native American and Air and Space Museums, respectively. I have pictures somewhere. The dance after the wedding had a pretty awesome playlist that Lizzie and George came up with and concluded with everyone who was still there gathering around the dance floor, glasses raised, singing Piano Man (sorry Mitchell).
Elizabeth and Jonathan came over the other night and we watched rifftrax and went through our respective /co/ folders. Jonathan is now addicted. Heh heh heh. I'm starved for contact with people my own age. Going to Repo! with Elizabeth tonight. Perhaps I'll see if anyone else wants to come.
I really hate trying to write this paper with the fiery passion of a thousand suns. I'm waiting to hear back from the Vandy reference librarian as to whether they can help me or not. Guh. From time to time I get paranoid that people are looking at what I'm doing and it's not work, but I don't work here anymore. Paranoid a little?
It might be time for a lj layout overhaul.
Soon it will be sushi time.

Been hanging around. Spent time with people over the last couple days, which is great fun. Got my hair cut pretty short this afternoon. Whee!

End of the Year wrap up!
What happened )
and a survey )

:D
There are a couple other Christmasy things on the dA account, too. I've done more buuuut, so lazy. :/

Btw, Ultimatum 2 is poop full of random death and Fox won the suit against Warner Bros. over Watchmen copyrights. HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

I can't sleep. I tried my usual insomnia medication (one dose of RDJ, preferably in a depressed or alcoholic role, applied directly to the brain), but it didn't work. Lay here for about an hour, maybe an hour and a half--nothing. Ann's coming to get me in t minus five hours to go shopping. I really should try and get some rest.
In other news, I'm home now. 11 hour trip door to door. I hate flying so hard.
Starting to sense that my parents are going to have me watching Rachel Maddow every night, which I'm more than okay with, especially after her report tonight about Obama inviting Rick Warren to participate in his inauguration.
Last week of school not as movie and drunk filled as Mike and I had hoped. We did watch TDK rifftrax which were very good, and I drank a little too much. Unfortunately we then showed Mitchell the Iron Man rifftrax and played the drinking game as well. I rolled around on the floor a lot afterwords and pet my door affectionately many times. I think we ended up watching the I Want Love video at least twice as well. Then I was sick in the morning. Gotta stop doing that.
My eyes are starting to get a little fuzzy, perhaps even a bit bleary and sleepy? Is it too much to ask?
I'm going to try sleep again.
winterophelia: (Default)
I seriously need to do work.
Seriously.
SERIOUSLY.
Instead I've been playing with my tarot deck and staring at comics.
This weekend we watched War Inc. and The Prestige (both v. good in their own, v. different ways) and were drunk via circle of death and had Scissor Sisters and Bruce Springsteen dance parties. Jameson, Kate, Veronica, and I went into the last 4 minutes of a TKE party for shits and giggles.

During the day I watched a loooot of Doctor Who and a wee bit of Turchwad. Here's what I think: Moffat and Davies should brainstorm overarching plots together, relying heavily on Moffat, Uncle Rusty writes the fist half, Moffat does the second. Then they each proofread the other's work to make sure there aren't any Tinkerbell Jesuses or River "Mary Sue" Songs in there and voila! Moffat doesn't fuck up the Doctor and RTD doesn't muck up any endings with dumb shit.
As far as Torchwood goes...let a blind chimp scribble on some paper and force John Barrowman to interpret that as a script...better yet, I'll write the rest of it. It really couldn't get any worse.

I could go on, but I won't. Instead, maybe some work on this paper is in order.
My bandwidth is probably going to be capped after today. Poo.
Soon is the going home time.
Braisington is speaking in tongues.
I'm hungry.
Goodnight.

Dear Robert Downey Jr.,

Milkrun is this weekend. Updates roughly every two hours are here.

Mmm, so much fail.
I'm ready for winter break. But that means it'll be that much closer to next semester and classes about women and graduation. D:

To Do List )

It's a little after the fact to be telling myself to get with the program. Oh well.

The weekend was good. Friday began with circle of death and ended soon after with an apartment full of stupidly drunk people. Austin flipped me over his head and broke a towel rack. Duct tape everywhere. Saturday I kind of wanted to just stay home and work on Shadowrun stuff, but I went with Nan and Jameson to Madison for Curtis's birthday. Being off campus is the best thing ever. Comedy club, walking around, Nan getting hit on by drunk guys, 3am pizza, Jameson drunkenly putting his arms around Curtis and singing 'Angel' softly, finding a lost disposable camera in the cab, falling asleep to Switch (which was pretty awful). All pretty good. Also, corn is delicious.

FUCK YEAH. XD

I'm working on a belated birthday card for Jonathan and I have to pee.

Um. Let's see. I went to Boston weekend before last and hung out with my cousins, my aunt, and my mom. It was a lot of fun and nice to be far away from campus. For Halloween this weekend I played golf with those other kids, which was a lot of fun as well. I was rule 63 Tony Stark. I made an arc reactor. My hair is (temporarily) black). Pictures from Boston and Halloween are here.
I'm going to need to buckle down and start doing some work soon, but all I want to do is talk about comics and edit people's fanfiction. I keep coming back to the fact that I kinda majored in the wrong field. Bbbbbbut, Beloit probably would have killed my love for whatever I would have majored in besides History, so there's no winning. Durr. I can't even really bring myself to pick out classes for next semester, the selection is too desolate and depressing.

Going to go read these prospectuses and then get back to the funtimes.

...the meeting I thought was tomorrow was apparently TODAY AT 4.
I. Fail. At. College.
I'm simply mortified. I seriously need to get my fucking act together. Dear Lord.
winterophelia: (Default)
I'll just leave this here.

It sums up fall break pretty well.


Mike just said the dorkiest thing that he's said in a long time. "D20 Modern: Wonder Boys Edition. You got the dog, and the guy, and Katie Holmes in your attic...Oola, there's a lot of NPC potential."

Edit: Film blog has been updated.

Stuff has happened as it does. Naked scrabble and tacos. Impromptu Star Wars pick up. Staying up all night trying to play xbox live. All three Cube movies. Refreshing /co/ every 5 minutes. Reading comics. Watching How I Met Your Mother, Heroes, etc. Being a little bit less of a hermit. Amazing correspondence with Jonathan. Buying shit from Hot Topic clearance. Lots of booze. I'll try and elaborate on more later.

Now for the bit that I just need to put out there to get out of my system.
tl;dr: frustrated, okay, but a little sad )
winterophelia: (Default)
Ready to be done already, with work that is. Complete shit at going to class. No longer enjoying history as a major. Really wish I had done something more creative with maybe a history minor. That would have been nice. Too bad I despise most of the art kids and a bunch of the creative writing kids (except for Jameson, Kate, etc). I could have muddled through the people and probably tolerated the work a lot more, though up until last year I probably would have lacked a definitive enough style to actually be good at any form of art.
Oh yeah, dropping out of Beatrice's class because it drives me batshit insane. Feel better already.
Anyway, I've become an utter hermit, which I hate until the prospect of going into the outside world, and then I become terrified and smush myself under throw pillows in the couchboat. Kept receiving hilariously drunken phone calls from Ted/Jessie/Veronica/Austin/Kira/Kate/?? on Saturday trying to get me to come over/to Suds...but I didn't which I'm kinda kicking myself about now, but in rational hindsight was probably a good idea because I probably would have gotten sick like woah with too much violent motion. My tummy is evil and still upset with me.
Mike and I went to Rockford on Friday which was a lot of fun. Got new speakers and flashdrive, pink plaid shorts+suspenders, and a rebel alliance belt buckle. Mike got a Yo Gabba Gabba t-shirt and new shoes. Also, Starbucks. I have been starved.
Need to stop eating so much.
Late October there's apparently a wedding shower for my cousin in Boston, which means mom+laptop=:D:D:D!! Downside, what to get for a gift D:??
D&D needs to start now. Getting restless and tired of having no permanent signifier in my week to let me know what day it is. Radio show might have to change days for this to work.
Oh yeah, radio show. It exists. 11pm. Wednesday. For now. Truth be told, I'll probably get fed up with the station again like last year and quit. At least most of the total dickheads have graduated.
Getting a little scatter brained now. Trying to remember anything over exciting that has happened recently. Lost the battery to my camera, so digital knowledge is failing. All the coke and meth has eroded my memory. Bet I'll think of 2 or 3 things as soon as I hit post.

Dear Blog,

Today I high jumped.
winterophelia: (Default)
Dear lord the internet here sucks. So. Bad.
I got back here Saturday before last. Saturday was excitement, booze, and playdough.
Sunday was somewhat similar, I think.
Much decorating!
Having an apartment is pretty sweet.
Classes are good so far. I really think I should have focused in Classics. I'm reeeeally enjoying my Pompeii class. History workshop is totally the same as the class I had with Ellen two years ago but with more people and work. Special project with Andras actually seems to be happening. We watched a really fun Mongolian movie in class on Friday. Ed's class is also going to be good, I think. I'm very optimistic about classes so far...I just already don't like the work load, mainly for the workshop.
We've been listening to a lot of Manson, Evanescence, and Numan...???
Patrick got here on Sunday and we immediately got tacos and later rockband was had.
For Veronica's birthday Austin, Jameson, and I took her to Sud's. Maya's birthday was very similar only with a different assortment of people and sloshball (kickball+drinks) later tat night.
Activities fair--I'm not exactly sure what's going on with toc...I'm concerned even though I know I shouldn't be/should have known. Whatevs.
I've been sleeping, watching tv, playing rockband, and shopping with Mike a lot.
My new silver boots came in the mail a few days ago, they're nice.
I really wish I could teleport home for a weekend. I miss Elizabeth and my mom.
Have some pictures.
winterophelia: (Default)
I feel bad for not being more interested in the Olympics. Seriously.
Clone Wars was exceedingly mediocre Jonathan and I decided. Sammuel L. Jackson, Christopher Lee--I know why Anthony Daniels was able to voice C3P-0 in this cartoon, he doesn't do much else, but you two? I mean, wtf?
Acne resurfacing slightly. Only disturbing because this means antibiotics may no longer affect my system which kinda blows and wasn't supposed to happen. Also , I feel like a major fat kid.
Watched a really baaaad movie with Caitlin and Elizabeth. It was pretty awesome.
Today was my last day of work.
Leaving for Beloit in 4 days, I think.

This summer (the full recap even though it wasn't terribly exciting): )-Summer can be summed up by the influence of 5 people: Barrowman, Tennant, Fielding, Bowie, and Goans.

I was kidnapped on Thursday and taken to Memphis and listened to poppunkindienewrock music with Jonathan, Drew, and Drew's brother. 4 bands, I knew one song: "California" by Phantom Planet (I gave them a listen when Jason Schwartzman was still their drummer). I wonder if they're kinda bitter that they always have to play that song. For a long time we thought the opening band was "Paper Elephant" which was a sweet name, but it was "Paper Route" and v. underwhelming. We listened to World War Z and Drew bought me a 40 on the way back. It was a lot of fun. I want to go to shows/concerts more.
Today I had brunch with Ann and her roommate and their mothers at the Puffy Muffin...wtf. PANCAKES AND SAUSAGE.
Neil Patrick Harris kid was not working at Starbucks today.
Hung out with Caitlin, Becca, girl I did not know, Elizabeth, Katie, and Christi. We sat in the park, ate chicken, played tits-in-a-box [1,2,3], and watched batman things. It was actually super fun, a good combination of people.
Listening to all the music on my computer reintroduced me to MSI, among other things. I have obtained their latest album and have been listening to it a whole lot at work. It really helps drown out all the anger making things that happen there.
Have spent last week drawing the cover for Jonathan's comic idea in swanky comic style. Hit a snag on Iron Man last night. Also am making a quilt.
Rewatched most of Venture Bros. too. I forgot how much it rules.
School soon, but I try not to think about it. I have shit to do, like ding 70.
winterophelia: (Default)
I'm actually going to try to explain now.
It was fairly obvious that game play was stopping since Elizabeth had left and Jonathan began talking about wanting to play TIE Fighter. Blah blah blah Star Wars blah blah guide books, so I get out my Star Wars encyclopedia. We flip through it, looking at ships, then I go past the page on Dash Rendar. The picture they have beside his entry is from the comic and he looks suspiciously like Edward Blake. Jonathan is sent into a long winded rant about how even if Watchmen is the best movie ever and follows the comic amazingly, it will ultimately fail so hard because the general public will NOT be amused. This ends with us watching the trailer and more musings about TDK vs Watchmen etc.
Then he tries to tell us about this new Batman comic. This branches off into a tangent on Robin and killing characters. Jonathan says something along the lines of, the marvel rule used to be that the only two people who would stay dead are Buckey and Uncle Ben, but now Buckey's come back so why not zombie Uncle Ben to make Peter Parker EVEN MORE emo. This sends Jonathan over the edge into a three hour long brainstorming tirade that results in the creation of the biggest omega event Marvel-Dark Horse-Dr. Who-AvP crossover EVER.
I've been commissioned to try my hand at drawing zombie Ben on his Empire State throne of blood...
jonathan's notes (may be legible) )
-3 HOURS LATER-
Jonathan realizes he never finished his initial thought. He'd like to go to Great Escape so he could buy Batman R.I.P.
Also, he still wants to play TIE fighter.
