Where Have I Been?

Listening to: Mates of State - Proofs

So, I've decided that I fail at blogging. I find that there are so many other important things for me to do...which isn't really that sad but still, I find blogging a release, you know?

Anyway, not much has actually happened since I've been here! I have been swamped with classes and being sick hasn't helped. I know I caught it from Will, even though he said it was just "alergies" pffff! yeah yeah yeah. PS: I know I have never written so many papers at once in my whole life. I end up getting confused and sometimes switch the topics around! "Though one cannot help the failing economy, mermaids are probably the most overused myth in history." wait...what!? UGGGGG! I'm loving my Independent Study with Roxy, but I cannot seem to get into it. It doesn't help that the paper isn't due until the begining of May. I absolutely love the topic (Religious Awe in Theater) but I have so much on my plate that's due before that that I just...well...forget. Thank goodness for posty notes.

Back to being sick, I don't have any meds for the daytime so I figured I'd take a risk and take two tabs of Benadryl today (antihistamine, people). Let's just say that was a very interesting experience. Apparently, I was delusional. I kept thinking that my sociology professor was saying the same sentence over and over again but really she said it once and everytime I heard her voice that same sentences would pop into my mind again. Freaky, I know. After that, I walked to my next class and fell asleep at the desk. Suddenly, I felt a tapping on my head. My friend Kari, who was sitting next to me was trying to wake me up for class. Everyone was looking at me...I actually found it quite funny, but I will never do it again.

So I just finished Frank Herbert's DUNE and I liked it but maybe that's because it was A LOT like Star Wars. The ending was a bit anticlimatic and the ending quote was powerful but irrelevant. I have mixed feelings toward DUNE I guess...but over all, I liked it. Next: The King of Elfland's Daughter!

Love and Peace!

PPS: I'm lovin the clothes in the uppper right hand corner!!

House Keeping

Soooo I'm still jobless and let me tell you...it stinks. Fighting the snobby highschool, bubblegum poppers, Holester wearing kiddos for a position at Kinneys is just plain sad. That's life...oh well. Tomorrow I'll be applying for a job for the annual Cazenovia College phoneathon and hopefully I'll be hired to call up Alumni and ask for monies! No one else will hire me...maybe my own school will? Just maybe... :P

Anywho...Lost was pretty sweet tonight I had no idea Jin was still alive! Holy Crap! My roomie called it, good for her! The amazing episode of Lost was followed by various forms of innapropriate touching and text messages about us being too "vocal" good times, good times. I am now over at Will's place listening to his Brooklyn roomies rap and freak out over the awesomeness of the rap song as Will gets clean. It's quite amusing. They got so excited about their music that when they left the room without saying goodbye and locked the door...3...2...1...OH MY GOD WE FORGOT YOU WERE IN HERE! Yeah yeah yeah! I love Will's friends.

So my very good friend Skottie left Caz today. He's having some issues with people and felt that the best thing for him to do was drop out. I understand that if he feels that this is what's best for him then he should go for it.

Okay, William is back and now we are going to watch Seven Pounds. I'm excited but I'm def gonna cry DX at least Will said that he'd cry with me (yay for sensitive boyfriends!) Okay, I'm off. Love and Peace!

Update Retard

Hey! It's been awhile...sorry about that! So where do I begin?

Oh yes, well I'm back at school! Yay! So far I have had (tech.) three days of classes since I don't have class Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am taking Sociology, British Literature II, Advance Expository Writing and Myth and the Modern Mind as well as my Independant Study with Roxy (Research in the Performing Arts). I have a lovely gentleman at my side now; William. ^o^ we have so much fun together! He asked me to be his girlfriend last week in a very old-school kind of way that just made my heart melt! He made a card and wrote: Will You Be Mt Girlfriend? on the inside with three check boxes that said Yes, Maybe, and No. I of course chose YES! ^_^



So far my classes have been good to me...enough homework to make me stressful but not enough to make me freak out entirely. I'm frantically trying to be a stereotypical English Major by sinking into my books as deep as possible and studying my lines like a loyal Thespian. My sociology class on the other hand could use some work. I haven't taken a "social science" class in awhile and the pop quiz that we had today was a bit confusing. Well, actually it wasn't confusing at all but because I am so used to picking questions apart and writing thorough answers I took the ONE question that we had on the pop quiz and made it WAY more difficult than it needed to be. The question was about Karl Marx and we needed to write on what he believed in. I was like, Oh okay! and I continued to write about Marxist and his views on communism...when apparently we were supposed to just write that he believed in "Social Class"...uhhhhhhh....okayyyyyy? I couldn't believe it. That's what I get for being a Junior in an Intro class!

Anyway...I have to write a paper on my travels to England for my writing class that's due Wednesday...probably should get on that...

Out of all the things I had on my TO DO list, fire-eating wasn't one of them

Hey!

Okayyyy, so I watched Chinatown and Junebug. Let me say...THANK YOU GOD! I was so disappointed with the first two movies that it was a RELIEF to watch these two fab movies. Chinatown, starring the older Joker, takes place in the 1940's and involves guns, detectives, and Faye Dunaway. I wish I could go more into it but what else can I say? It was a really, really good movie and I would spoil it if I told you any more! The script was perfect and the acting was decent. Go out and buy it or rent it or something. Now Junebug...I have to admit, I had mixed feelings about the ending but everything else was pretty spectacular. Amy Adams and that lady from Matilda who played Miss Honey were excellent in their parts. The friendship that they shared as characters was almost like a "love affair" but in a respectable way - as two women with very different lives. That was the theme of the whole movie though, love affairs of all kinds and finding your place in the world. I enjoyed it throughly.

So, wondering where I got my Title from? Apparently it was a quote by Sanjay Gupta. Here's what going on with him:




Hmmm. That's all for now!

States of Gay Cowboys

Love you, Cowboy

Okay, sooooo I watched two of the movies that I had borrowed from the Bville Library: Brokeback Mountain and Altered States. Hmmmm, it was a pretty interesting few days. I sat in my room and watched the first half of Brokeback...utterly disturbed and bored (is that even possible?). I have nothing against gay people, honestly, they can do whatever they want, but there was something weird between Heath and Jake...I can't really explain what it was...Anyway, I gave the movie another day before I decided to try watching it again. It got better...Anne Hathaway appeared as the rowdy wife of the late Donnie Darko and did a fabulous job. Same with Michelle Williams, she was good, she was real, I believed every emotion she portrayed in that movie...but the cowboys, not so much. I think the only reason why people THOUGHT it was a good movie was because two manly men had the guts to kiss each other on screen, and to be honest, they weren't even doing it that well...I don't know...do guys usually kiss each other with such awkward force? Possibly...maybe.


The first gift of Christmas...uh...REALITY!!!

The next movie I watched was called Altered States. It stars William Hurt in his film debut, which I thought was pretty rad since I grew up listening to him read me The Polar Express on a cassette tape. If you haven't seen it or even heard of it, it's pretty much about this professor who tries all of these weirdo experiements to prove that the imagination can be just as real as the "reality" that we live in. It sounded pretty sweet, so I watched it. I liked the first half...but then by the end it started freaking me out. There is something about 70's special effects, they were GOOD back then and looked REAL, at least, in my eyes. Anyway, it got crazy towards the end and I had to eventually watch Lord of the Rings to get my mind off of it.

That's all for now - it's time to eat breakfast for dinner! <3

Updates - Happy Birthday, Yogananda!

Hello!

Tomorrow is the birthday of Paramahansa Yogananda! Meditate hard and deep on his presence.

I have updated a few things to my profile:

1. At the bottom of my page I've added a poem that I have recently written!
2. I've added the Amazon.com search engine to my page (you never know when you'll need it!)
3. I have the blogs that I follow on here as well! Yay!

I made it to the Bville library 15mins before it closed! I was able to get 7 movies (one for each day!)
- Brokeback Mountain
- Junebug
- Persepolis
- Chinatown
- Altered States
- Beckett
- Once

I haven't seen any of these yet so I'll keep you guys updated on how these movies made me feel :)

I got another chapter of my new Yuffietine up. I'm okay with it...I want to make it more interesting though...

sorry this is a short update but I'm baby sitting right now! <3

Happy (late) New Year! ^^

(this post was meant to be published January 2nd, 2009)


heya!

New Years was pretty fab if I do say so myself. I went to my very good friend's house/apartment for a party with my family. Her mom made their own NYC ball that dropped from a very high pole to the top of their garage! It was sweet! They had a bunch of great food and music playing so that was very cool! It was so nice to see my friends - hopefully SaraLee and I can go snow shoeing before I head back to school.



I love this girl!



what a fine place to live! <3

So, I woke up at 1pm today! ^^;; I know...William called me a bum...and it's true. I meditated, ate breakfast and read until my friend Ashalee called, then suddenly, it was 6pm! Time for dinner! Oh my...

Papa and I are going to go skiing tomorrow on the land and then I'm off to the library to get some movies and such. Hopefully I can find something that I haven't seen yet. If they have the movie Casshern, then they should have anything ;-)

Greetings!

So I've pretty much negleted this blog because I've been busy with life and such...but I'm back and here we go go! So, I've been pretty much just laying around the house doing nothing but clean and watch Mystery Science Theater. I have been writing a lot more though...a lot more Fan Fiction that is. I started a Yuffietine thats the sequal to my first Yuffietine, I'd Kill You For Nothing. It's pretty good so far but I need to figure out how it ends :p.

In other news, I found this great article from bjork/unity.com that has Chris Martin from Coldplay talking about Bjork in the Rolling Stone. I couldn't have written a better article about her: http://bjork.com/news/?id=878;year=2008



she's such a beautiful woman :D
