Like Shooting Stars

Oh, how Glee just kicked it off fucking fantastically tonight. That show really is such a fantabulastic fun amazing thing. LoL. I may need to go and download tonight's episode. What I wouldn't give to see an actual football team go and do that in the middle of a game! (I could see it happening - like as a Senior prank or something like that).


Finally watching some Canucks! XD Well, actually I'm listening to it at this exact moment since I can't really update my journal AND watch the game. But I'm happy I finally get to WATCH some hockey rather than live vicariously through NHL.com and my Google desktop. Even if the Canucks are kinda losing right now (that's how it goes, though, isn't it?), I don't really mind. It IS still pre-season stuff.


Now I won't lie and say I'm ignorant to my own writing ability. It's one of the things, even if I say otherwise at times, I know I'm pretty damn good at. But even I impressed myself today. That paper on Narnia is due tomorrow. 1500 words. Nothing hard, really. But I felt more than unprepared and figured I'd have a hard time getting any coherent argument going. I only read L,W,W and part of Voyage of the Dawn Treader, so definitely felt unprepared. And then, all of a sudden, I found my argument and got the entire paper knocked out in an hour and a half. For some comparison, my roommate started the paper on Sunday and read ALL the required reading for it, was still working on it earlier this afternoon. But yeah...I'm really surprised. I was worried I'd still be working on the damn thing by this time. And yet, I'm not. LoL.


I, sadly, have decided I won't be rereading LOtR for this same religion class. I need to get a headstart on the Harry Potter reading, and I know LOtR well enough to not NEED to read it again (five times already). I WANT to read it, but she's not making it required to read it all and I want to enjoy the books and read them right. Maybe by the time summer comes around again, I'll find the time to give LOtR my sixth read. I hope so. I sooo love the serious.


Alrighty, before I forget, I wanna go check out iTunes and maybe incorporate some new tunes into Remmie. ;)

I blame getting sick because...well, I am. And honestly it's hard to think about much right now. I'm trying to get into a fandomy mood (leaning towards working on some vid ideas)...doesn't mean a quote will come easily. LOL.


Only 3 more days left until I head off to Atlanta for Dragon*Con. Honestly, right now, I'm kinda just feeling bleh about it. I'm sure I'll have fun while there, it's just riding Greyhound to GET there isn't going to be enjoyable. Greyhound never is. And then the ride BACK?! Oh joy. Can't WAIT. Plus, getting sick now only makes that seem like more of a hassle. *sigh* This would all still be soooooo worth it if Michael and Lexa were going to be there. Don't get me wrong - I'm looking forward to seeing Ben and Claudia and pretty much everyone else I just saw in Chicago - as well as seeing many of my friends from the interwebz/Twitterwebz. Just...it would be nice to be seeing Michael again and FINALLY getting to see Lexa, ya know?


Spent this weekend kinda just chillaxing around here and hanging out with my friends. Friday night didn't end up being as crazy as first thought. There was drinking involved, of course. We did see part of the drag show, but then ended up leaving and heading back to David's. Had a little bit more to drink, and then went to Rayne. Maybe is was just this impending sickness, but I pretty much just sat around at Rayne and watched everyone else dance. Yesterday was Amanda's birthday, so we went out to eat at Logan's. Then we ended up at Border's. I was going to get Prisoner of Azkaban for my Religion class (it's the only one I couldn't find here at the bookstore), but it was $11. That's RIDICULOUS. I looked for the second Burn Notice novel, but they only had the first. So I ended up leaving the bookstore WITHOUT a book (*GASP*, right?). We ended up at the fountain, where of course I ended up in the damn thing again (voluntarily, again, of course). After that, it was a run to Blockbuster (where I got photographic evidence of Mega Snake and Swarmed being available to rent - yes, I am shameless about these things). We rented a few movies, and came back to watch Push first while drinking some margaritas. I enjoyed the movie - will need to watch it again since it was so damn hard to HEAR the movie. But yeah...I came back to the suite first while they stayed and watched Zoolander.


Today I picked up my room and got a little more organized classes wise. I did attempt to do homework, but the math didn't work out because the site kept crashing Firefox. And the reading for my other classes didn't work because all it did was make me sleepy. Ended up taking a nap. I think I may attempt to read some more if just to get more caught up. If not, I'll have A LOT of reading to do tomorrow evening. Really don't want that.


Random stuff:

~ Either The Little Mermaid or Pocahontas is showing tomorrow at the SLC. Not sure which. I do know we will be going to see it, what it turns out to be. Honestly, I hope it's TLM only because I saw Pocahontas in theaters - would love to see TLM!

~ We all read fanfic in our suite. Well, I was reading some today and Paris (who I share my side of the suite with) comes into my room and then goes 'OH, Daniel...' in a sort of disappointed voice. Apparently she was hoping I was branching out and reading from another fandom (they read Harry/Draco fanfic mostly). Silly girl. WHAT was she thinking??

~ I have nothing else random to say. *snirk*

Gee, can we guess what I saw yesterday?? XD Here's my thoughts on the movie:

Oh, SPOILERS behind the cut, so beware all who don't wish to be spoiled!
