When it comes, I’ll let you know


Here it is. Yet another post where I try to pass off an obscure lyric as a title and then follow with a list of random unrelated information. OK GO.

  • My laptop’s CD drive has been an asshole for years (i.e. since I got it, and by asshole I mean it would randomly pop open during awkward silences and well, not work), so I thought I’d get it fixed since my insurance was about to run out. Best Buy was FAST. It’s been a couple of days and I have it back with the drive replaced. Five points for the Geek Squad or whatever.
  • Speaking of my laptop, it got to the point where I had to wait ten minutes for it to start up, and another ten minutes for Chrome or Word to open, so I was going to do a system restore anyway. I thought, hey why not do the whole Windows 7 thing? So here I am. I know technically it’s not much different than Vista, but I love a change and it’s so much more aesthetically pleasing. Of course, I may be biased since a few days ago, it was moving at a crawl and Zac Efron wasn’t tiled across the background, but still.

Windows 7

  • Yes, a screenshot is the only image I can produce right now. Whatever, it’s 4am and I feel like I haven’t slept in four months. AND I have a class at 9am. Why can’t classes start after lunch? Would it hurt, really? Who is actually able to process things that early?
  • Remember a post ago I said I couldn’t wait for Wall Street 2? Well apparently, my blog is great at jinxing things. It’s being PUSHED BACK. BY FIVE MONTHS. WHAT?! I can’t talk about it. It’s too painful.
  • But honestly, if I don’t get my yearly dose of Shia, I’m not going to make it you guys.
  • This weekend’s going to be fun. I have two layouts to code, five hundred papers to get started on, and tons of procrastinating to do. When I finally get a vacation, I’m going to need to be rehabilitated for it.

THE END

  • Ya, I don’t know why I just did that. It’s kind of cool though right? We should all end our blogs like this from now on. Who’s with me?

We’ll steal a car and crash in the ocean


United States of Tara

  • I started watching United States of Tara last night and love it so far! When I saw that Diablo Cody is one of the creators/producers, I went ughhh in my head, but I take that back now! Of course, it helps that John Corbett, aka Aidan/perfect dude from Sex and the City who I would have picked over Big ANY DAY plays Tara’s husband. The show is good too though. If you haven’t heard of it – Tara has multiple personalities – three in addition to herself: Buck, Alice, and T. I love that Max sleeping with one of the other personalities would be considered cheating. And that Buck calls Marshall Marsha.

Secret Diary of a Callgirl

  • Next up, Secret Diary of a Call Girl. I broke my number one rule and started on season 2. BUT that’s all they had on demand okay. Whatever. Not as promising as US of Tara, but I’m warming up to it. One thing – I can’t differentiate between Hannah’s ex and her new guy. Ben and Alex. They look virtually the same! I keep going oh that’s Alex, wait, why is she talking to him about her work, I thought he doesn’t know!! OH, never mind, that’s actually Ben. Also, BAMBI is unbearable. I want to scream STFU at her every time she comes on screen.
  • Anyway, aside from new shows on my to-do list, Gossip Girl is coming back tomorrow! In my heart of hearts, I know the rest of the season is probably going to be as disappointing as the first half, but I do have a morsel of hope left. I mean, Chuck finally has a major storyline and Blair is apparently going from “victim to vixen” – Josh Schwartz’s words, not mine. So we’ll see. I have my fingers crossed. Also, ten points for this overdramatic, soap opera trailer Gossip Girl, well done.
  • Speaking of Gossip Girl, I think what would really redeem it for me, is if Jenny were to die a gruesome, tragic death in the season finale. Take note CW. We’re over her.

List #53487


Canada <3

  1. I am so proud of Canada and all its gold medals! In support, I wore my Canada Joe Boxers today. Go team!
  2. Don’t you love it when you find someone the perfect birthday present and then they go out and buy the exact same thing for themselves before you get a chance to give it to them?! Ya, me too.
  3. I am so ridiculously and irrationally attracted to Joe Tobin on Damages this season, there’s just something about him. I love how grave he always is. That’s the best word to describe him. Grave. His best moment so far: “Everything you have in life, you have because of my father. Well, he’s gone now. And I can take it all away from you. Do you understand me?” Brilliant.
  4. I had way too many cherry timbits this week.
  5. I cannot motherfucking wait for Wall Street 2/Money Never Sleeps, you guys have no idea.
  6. Why do they need to return midterms so soon after we’ve finished them? Can’t I celebrate my freedom for another minute before you crush all my hopes and dreams and remind me that I’m screwing up my life by procrastinating?
  7. I can’t bring myself to watch Project Runway this season. Sigh, it’s so sad. I miss Santino and Daniel Franco and, and and, that other Daniel kid whose last name I can’t spell.
  8. If you invite me to another Facebook group, event, fanpage, WHATEVER again, that I have absolutely no interest in, nor will I for the rest of my life, I am unfriending you. Period. I mean, what can you say about humanity when the fanpage “I Hate When One String of My Hoodie Becomes Longer Than the Other” has 1,233,684 fans?
  9. Another thing, what exactly is the point of boots that soak right through as soon as you step into a puddle? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
  10. It really would have been nice if I’d had a tenth point to make this all nice and even.

I must confess, I like us best undressed


room

I know you’ve all been dying for updates on my life, so I thought what better time to post blinding pink pictures of my room than now?

Anyway, I FINALLY replaced my hundred year old Zenith TV, which was pretty much a big black box, with 32″ of flatscreen goodness. So far it’s been a great tool for procrastinating purposes. Hey there Marc and Wilhelmina.

Next, remember this post? The posters I bought? Well, I put them up over the holidays. What a great way to spend the Christmas break right? What you can’t see to the right of this picture are Justin Timberlake posters/pictures, he’s the only man on a wall full of women, I’m proud of him for holding his own. And yes, he’s on my desktop as well. Yes, I also have “Senorita” text behind my TV, don’t laugh okay, I can’t help the Justin fangirl in me. Leave me alone!

In other news, it’s 3am and I have an outline due for anthropology at 9am, which I’ve done zero research for so far. Zero anything for so far actually. I’m so tired of assignments, midterms, finals, assignments, when will it end?!?! I want to get on with my life already. But one more year and then potentially some form of grad school. I don’t know, all I want right now is a two year vacation from any sort of studying. Make that five years. Okay, forever.

Pens & Logan Huntzberger


MY LIFE IS OVER Rory & Logan

  1. My gigantic box of the most amazing pens ever is EMPTY. I couldn’t find them at Staples, so I googled them, found someone with the exact same problem as me (see drawing, I may as well have drawn that, but I don’t have the pens anymore), and learned that they’ve been DISCONTINUED! Do you know how hard it is to find the perfect pen? What will I write with now? Not to mention, I have midterms right now, so this is the worst time for a pen crisis.
  2. As far as procrastination goes, I’ve been watching The Good Wife, mainly because of Matt Czuchry (more affectionately remembered as Logan Huntzberger to most), who I have been orgasmically lusting over since Gilmore Girls. If I ever meet anyone even remotely similar to him in real life, I will marry him on the spot. Hopefully he stays on for season 2! Aside from Logan, there’s something about The Good Wife that makes me want to keep watching even though it’s not the most brilliant show ever, not even close. On that subject actually, why did Julianna Margulies win a freaking Golden Globe for it? I haven’t really seen any outstanding acting from her yet, no standout scenes or anything. I’ll never understand awards shows. Yes, I’m looking at you Grammy Awards, Taylor Swift for best album? Really? Were you shitfaced when you made that decision? Clearly. I’m starting my own awards show, as soon as I start my own TV network (the one that will adopt cancelled shows like Ugly Betty).
  3. Anyway, I need to study, so the list ends here.
