Black History Month: Week 2

Alright, it is officially the end of the second week of Black History Month. Wow, February's going by fast!

AHHHH! I WATCHED INCEPTION! I can finally understand what people have been ranting and raving about! Yes, I agree with the general opinion, it is amazing!!

So we were driving to Chanhassen this weekend and I learned about some new remedies from my sister. It's interesting what ten year olds can come up with.

Divya's Cures for Car-Sickness
1. Burp it out
2. If Cure #1 doesn't work, fart it out.

I am in love with that website dearblankpleaseblank. Beware: there are some extremely inappropriate ones but let's be honest, those can be ignored.

One of my favorites:

Dear World,
Wanna hear a pizza joke?
Sincerely, Nah, it's too cheesy.

Raise your hand if you occasionally shop at Lakewinds. If you do, make sure you buy the rustic herb and cheese bread. It's to die for.

I realized something this week. 0.5 lead is so much better than 0.7.
It's not even a debate anymore.

I have officially renewed my gleek status. Just thought I'd announce the good news.

Guess what? I found a restaurant to replace Champs, as impossible as that sounds.
Drumroll, please.

*Drumroll*

It's Noodles! (Yes, I am aware its actually Noodles and Co.) Right now, I'm going through an obsession. I've had it twice this week. My favorite thing there is probably the Pesto Cavatapi.

Ummm, who took first place at Science Olympiad Regionals?
Thats right, Wayzata! HOLLA.

Gosh, I love Heart Week. Especially the sing-o-grams.

Harry Potter Day was amazing. Some of the costumes were really creative. 
If you couldn't tell, I was Padma Patil.

I can't wait to see what Mr. Wayzata's like. I didn't go last year, so I'm super excited for this year!

Alright, here goes my first Black History Month playlist. Hope you guys like it!

Byee! :)

Remember Me?

Wow. It feels so strange writing a post again, and that's only with a two week break!
My only excuse for not writing a post last friday was exhaustion. Finals are mentally draining people!

This semester looks pretty iffy, its going to take a little bit of time to settle into it.

Okay first thing's first. I'm bored of Champs. You know, the restaurant? They have such good food, no debate there, but I've been there too many times. I know the menu too well, it's getting weird and blah.

Haha, I got my first D+ plus in school today. Ironically, I felt like I'd finally acheived something.

Okay, how many people know who Imogen Heap is? Everytime I'm listening to her songs, I have to remind myself that she's a girl. Her voice is so unisexual. To be honest, I kind of liked her songs better when I thought it was a guy singing them.

It's always awkward when you're on the bus, and the girl sitting in the seat across from you is sobbing.

Okay who knows that SNL song "The Creep" feat. Nicki Minaj..? It is SO GREAT. Everyone needs to look it up and listen to it. I'm too lazy to post the video on here.

Speaking of Nicki Minaj, she ruins like almost every song.

Is it okay to think your substitute teacher is attractive?

I'm so sick of identifying birds. Ornithology is possibly the most addicting and annoying event in Science Olympiad. Which reminds me, I have a regional competition tomorrow! STRESS.

HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!!!

I'm actually serious. In honor of all the black people, for every blog post I write this month, except for this one, I will post a playlist with some of my favorite songs by black singers or rappers. You go black people!

How awesome is the idea of having Harry Potter day during Heart Week? Super awesome.

How long has it been since anyone's seen a Propel bottle? I swear, Vitamin Water and Gatorade have taken over the flavored water industry.

I saw No Strings Attached last friday. It might be my new favorite chick flick. It's so friggin' adorable!! This week's playlist is inspired by something in it. It's a period mix!! Hahaha, that sounds insane but I couldn't resist.

Here it is!

Mmkay, I think I've written enough to make up for last week..


Byee :)

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 :)
