Ode to a Final

Mmkay Minnesota, I know we have a reputation for bad winters but don't you think we're streching it a little bit? Just a thought.

We just got our carpet re-changed today. The carpeters broke my Winnie-the-Pooh clock that I have owned since I was five years old. No big deal.

Oh Finals.
How I love studying for you
on a weekend that I could possibly enjoying.
How I enjoy staring at old notes
trying to recollect the reasoning behind them.
How endearing.

I can't wait to get my license. But first I have to get my permit.

I really like old movies. They were so classy! My favorite is probably How To Steal A Million with Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole. Peter O'Toole is such a stud in the movie, and Audrey Hepburn, in my opinion, is at her best. It's a great rom-com. I also really like The Philadelphia Story and Pillow Talk.

I'm going to miss my lunch buddies next semester! We have the most priceless conversations (well, according to me atleast).

Today we were discussing Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Jenny: Is she a prostitute?
Me: Well, kind of.
Briana: How can you kind of be a prostitute?
Rosalie: Yeah, you either charge or you don't. Unless, she's doing a half-price discount.
Amy: Maybe she's a gold-digger?

Gardettos are so good. I'm addicted.

Is the tango a romantic dance or is that the salsa? I'm considering going to the spanish club meeting on Monday and we will be tango-ing.

I am incredibly excited for the iPhone to come to Verizon! However, the down side is that my contract doesn't end until September.

I still don't have another playlist, but I have a feeling a good one is on the way. So, like always, here's a music video instead. Credit for finding this goes to one of the new music channels I found on my TV last week :)





Cyaa!

Wherfore art thou softball?

I'm debating if I should take up umping softball games this summer to make some moolah. I've never watched a baseball game in my life or played softball (actually, that's a lie if you count gym class but I don't think that counts..), but I do have the rules of play, hence the debate.

This week has been super annoying. Every single morning, I wake up to my alarm, snooze it a few times, convince myself to finally "dismiss" it, fall back asleep for what I think will be five more minutes, and end up waking up thirty minutes later. It's actually getting on my nerves.


Sometimes my sister says the strangest things.


We recently discovered a new channel on our tv that plays country music videos all day. Yesterday, I decided to waste some time and watch the channel for a little bit. My sister walks in and says, " Country music videos are stupid. They always put these pretty girls with these not-even-cute guys." I have to say, I completely agree with her.


Listening to bird calls and trying to memorize them is difficult work.


In comm, we're reading Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. I'm Margaret, the slutty maid. Lovely.

I'm lazy, here's a music video :)



Have a good three day weekend!

Byee :)

Funny Bone


I actually love this picture. so much. It might be the most enjoyable cat picture ever.

This week, I figured out how to take screen shots on my laptop!! I have taken atleast ten screen shots since then. However, the sad part is that I have had my laptop for more than a year and a half and have just figured out how to used this marvelous feature.



Found this ad in the kitchen. I'm not sure if I should be surprised that the word pink can be used so many times in such a short passage. (This is a screen shot of the electronic version of the ad!)


I have realized something about my self this week. I am not a funny person. As depressing as that sounds, let me clarify. I'm not good at being funny when put on the spot or in a situation that requires humor, but I'm funny in a cheese-fest kind of way. Haha just another week of introspection..

One of my snappy comebacks this week:

Amy: God! This kiwi just pricked my finger!
Me: Who are you, sleeping beauty?

Yeah, it was pretty epic.

I enjoy driving wheelchairs. Is it possible to have that as a summer job? I would love to just drive people around in their wheelchairs.

I finally got my much needed hat. It might be my favorite winter accessory. That sounds super girly but hats and gloves/mittens are important!

So I'm considering getting a Ping. It's that music social network thing on iTunes and I'm not sure if it's the next logical step or not. I mean, I'm already obsessed with music, why not get a music social network page... right?

I recently discovered a newly found appreciation for Buca di Beppo. The Alfredo Fettucini (my favorite pasta besides ravioli and cheese tortellini) is to die for. Also, they have etremely appropriate statues and fountains (that was a joke people.)


One of my personal favorites.


Amy Poehler is a beast. Just throwing that out there. I also think that she is funnier than her husband, Will Arnett (no offense to him).

Harry Potter is just so connectable to anything really. This morning, we had a teaching project in Euro and we were talking about a picture of a train station and how the architecture looked. Then, one of the girls who was presenting mentioned that it was, infact, King's Cross Station. Immediately, everyone exclaimed something about Harry Potter. We even got our teacher talking about it.

I was victim to a brilliant idea five seconds ago. Brilliant idea: instead of typing out this week's playlist, I'm going to post a screen shot of it!! I have also just decided that this will now become a regular practice, not something for this post. It seems very clean and cool. Hope you like the playlist!



Mmkay byee :)
