you can't do that with a tiffany lamp!

so, today was a busy busy day. went malling with the fantabulous silverjet747; saw The Breakup. OH MY GOODNESS VINCE VAUGHN, YOU ARE SO FUNNY. also oh my goodness Nat, I love you. I hope Seamus is ok ;_;

then I came home and mum mugged me and we did some carpet-cleaning voodoo on the van. that was fun ... UM NOT. and THEN we watched some John Cleese Sherlock Holmes The-End-Of-Civilization-As-We-Know-It movie, and THAT was fun. ish. yanno. and I played a mess of the BB GAMEUUUBE!! game, at which I continue to suck, but which still amuses me greatly.

I AM BATMAN! FEAR MY SPANDEXY WRATH!


er, yes, I am rather insane at the moment. what tipped you off?

hugs and kisses,
mel

(p.s. __dtrain, you know that whole ships-passing-in-the-night thing that was going on all of today? so not cool. I'm sorry)

"Hey Mel? Is it soda first, or icecream?"
-Vivs, on the topic of root beer floats

the girl is adorable, but sometimes I have to wonder how she'll ever survive.

she discovered 94.1 Madison WJJO while waiting in the van for me to return from nosing around BA, though (I wanted to give the librarian flowers, as she's retiring and I love her), so that was fun. even if she did ditch my Gershwin CD for it :[ (p.s. "Lullaby for Strings" is love)

speaking of CDs, the_automatik, I got your MP3 mix in the mail today! haven't cracked into it just yet, but I shall very soon.



...whoah. the dog just materialized from amidst the to-be-folded laundry on my bed. wtf? I didn't even know he was in here.

Pidge and I watched Sunburn this evening (which DVD worked perfectly, thank you bagelmuffin_luv!), and it was very happy-making. I find, unfortunately, that the movies I've seen for Cillian have been rather hit-or-miss as to my enjoyment, but this one's definitely a hit. and a quote from the boy upon seeing the title menu: "oh, it's a movie about a boy in a pink shirt ... wait. haven't we seen this one before?" *giggle* -- of course I'm also obliged to mention how TWILIGHT ZONE it was seeing Davin in (adorably hopeless) drag and just thinking, "well, practice makes perfect?" all in all, a very fun, very cute movie, sweet but not too sweet, just the way I like them. yay!

switching gears, here's a quick something for my girl __dtrain who had a bit of an unsatisfactory day (though it's clearing up, so consider this fashionably late). ( picture )
yes, those are my little monkey toes poking out from the cuffs of my uniform bottoms.

aand, Pidge wants me to watch Craig Ferguson with him, but I need to go to BED NOW! because there's work tomorrow >.<;

so I was just talking to my brother about going to the grocery store for soda and I said oh there was some other reason I was planning to go... oh! I need sausages (for this risotto recipe).

and he immediately replied with "sausages! sausages! stay where you are!" in a perfect impression of little Laurence Feely in his Dalek game.

♥ that kid (Pidge) can be a total dumbass, but I love him.


p.s. bagelmuffin_luv! I got the dvd! finally :S it got to school on may 24, and they forwarded it here. WOOT! (the doodle is ADORABLE. *loff*)


I don't care WHAT you say, BoP fandom is THE MOST FABULOUS.

so I was sitting here, checking my e-mail and thinking, "wow, my ponytail feels really weird."

and then I realized I don't have a ponytail.

*grin*


in other news, it would appear that my mother has learned to make a decent pot of coffee. this may in fact be a fluke, but ... it'd be nice if it were the general way of things now.

I'm home, House finale was insane, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is long-ass but kick-ass (we haven't finished it yet; shhhh), don't EVER trust a fairy, I go back to work tomorrow, and I missed all of you but SO will not be attempting a catch-up. plz to direct me to things you are thinking I should be seeing, kthx.

love and kisses,
mel

(p.s. Cuddy has a nice ass)

(p.p.s. I won't be a whole ton online, this summer, I'm thinking. will work something out)

(p.p.p.s. my brother is SO STUPID. so stupid. I hate him)

from today's Dinosaur Comics

T-Rex is a pirate!

so I finally finished my anthro paper. I'm actually very very happy with it; I think it's one of my better papers this year. about the 'ritual' of buying comics (the pull list way) every week (OH GOD I HOPE I REMEMBERED TO EDIT THAT SUPERBOY PRIME SUCKS JOKE OUT. yes I did. ok). now I just need to... nail down that 7-page bastard on Faerie and the Victorian consciousness (I think I'll focus on Wilde's "The Happy Prince", and just kinda... mention the others. no need to go overboard) before Friday.

write index cards (well, I don't have any of those. what are the dimensions of a conservatively-sized index card?) for my calc exam at 8:00 tomorrow morning.

run field notes down to anthro prof's office.

call dean's office to set up appointment.

attend appointment.

pack.

STUDY SHIT.


...and, so long as I can do about 5-700 words of that fairytale paper each day, I should be covered. I think.

[ETA: AND ALSO ONE OF THOSE JOURNAL ENTRY THINGIES, EACH DAY.]



of course it's raining too retardedly outside for me to justify putting on real bottoms and going for dinner, so it'll just be more earl grey when I wake up and maybe something from the campus store. like a Red Bull.

note to self: phone mother tomorrow / later today. in the event that she is at church or otherwise busy, be certain to leave a nasty message on her voicemail so that when she calls back you can wish her a happy Mother's Day.
