Things I Learned This Vacation

- Cillian Murphy has the most beautiful voice ever to grace my ears. WHY HAVE THE WHISPERS OF HIS PSYCHOSITY IN "RED EYE" KEPT ME FROM HIM SO LONG? He is straight up melodious.
- The Edge of Love exceeded my expectations. And considering I've been waiting for that movie for like, a year, I think that's pretty rad.
- I can hold my liquor better than expected.
- Colds + loud and intense karaokeing + lots of booze= hellish morning after (You'd think this would be self-evident. It's not.)
- People actually do just give girls free liquor.
- I cannot, under any circumstances, resist the lure of what I consider a bargain when it comes to BSG DVDs. Now I own the entire series and am as happy as a clam; meanwhile my mother and sister are lamenting how I can put down money for DVDs for a "lame sci-fi series" instead of clothes.


We're going home tomorrow, finally!

Things I do when I can't sleep
In no particular order

- rage at heavens
- cry a tiny bit in frustration
- read children's book in hopes of making myself weary
- fail at making myself weary
- curse inwardly
- ponder what I could've possibly done to make God so angry at me he won't let me sleep
- ponder what I could've possibly done to make my body so angry at me it won't let me sleep
- change pajamas three times
- rearrange pillows
- rearrange sheets
- get hot, cold, back again, both at same time
- curse the frakking birds singing merrily outside my window
- decide that lying in bed is too frustrating, go to laptop, turn on, attempt LA Times crossword in order to fatigue brain
- get somewhat sleepy, return to bed, fail to fall asleep a second time
- give up the ghost, make bed, put on glasses
- let my sister's cat out of her room, leaving her door open a crack, open parents' door open a crack, so cat is able to roam about freely
- straighten up living room
- change table cloth in dining room
- straighten up kitchen
- put away clothes
- watch cats chase one another in something approaching amusement
- get angry that am still not asleep/not already completely dead to the world many hours since
- decide not to rage around house, be courteous to other members of family who are all still sleeping, bitches
- consider baking something, realize that it would make too much noise, see above
- consider working out, laugh, realize I should do that later, to tucker self out
- consider the repercussions of not sleeping at all, as I haven never even come close to that
- complain internally about my inability to at least enjoy morning talk shows, because it is a weekend
- turn on laptop again, sit down to read random blogs
- wish someone would at least wake up to talk to me, so I could tell them my immense tale of woe
- flist, see that nothing has updated since I last checked
- gripe internally.

Wasn't that a joy to read?

1- Gerard Depardieu is adorable. I just watched 'Le Dernier Metro' and it was not my favorite, but he was delightful and there is nothing about him I dislike.

2- Catherine Deneuve is amazingly beautiful and sometimes she looked so much like Kate Walsh it was disturbing.

3- I am so stressed out that my shoulders are like rocks of tensions. I had a test today, one tomorrow night, one wednesday morning, and another one on Friday. I've forgotten what it's like to not have one or more tests every week.

4- I am probably dropping my European Ethnicities class, which really bums me out.

5- Going home was wonderful, but it drained me.

6- I would kill for a massage.

7- The 'Across the Universe' soundtrack is pretty damn brilliant.

8- I watched 'Frida' today. I saw most of it in TOK senior year, but Mrs Scott fastforwarded through a lot of it. So. It was good, and when I think about how awful Frida Kahlo had it, I feel better.

8a- I think if Mia Maestro were any cuter, the universe would completely implode.

9- Today on Gilmore Girls, Lorelai's wedding all came together after she found her wedding dress. WEDDING DRESSES OMG LOVE. I'm still on the prowl for Nadia's wedding dress, per [livejournal.com profile] yahtzee63's request. The problem is, who is she marrying?

10- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARG.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HANNAH! I hope your day is amazing, darling girl.

Still no roommate, I miss having one. Classes are okay. I took the French SAT, and that was interesting.

Aaaand drop/add ends tomorrow and I still don't know what French I'm in. Arg.

So instead!

Three Things I Used to Hate, but No Longer Do, Because I Have a Brain

- Nadia
Yeah, I don't have an excuse for this other than my knee-jerk !!!!! reaction to Syd getting a sister mid-series. Plus, Sloane + Irina = Gross. However, now I know that, through some bizarre tautology table logic, Sloane + Irina = PERFECTION. And she is wonderful and a delight and I love love love her all thanks to [livejournal.com profile] non_horation and Mia Maestro, and the writers who wanted to make Nadia the sweetest, bestest character ever.

- marshmallows
Hated these for a long, long time, and now... I love them. I love their soft and squishy goodness. I love their slightly dusty covering. I love their jolly little bag. I love that they have "jet puffed" in the title. Oh, marshmallows.

- the song "Umbrella"
I was proud of never having heard it, remember? Then I went to work and it played all the time, so I learned to love it. LOVE IT HARDCORE. And then Mandy Moore covered it. And now Gerard Way is in on the action. Obviously, this means the song is amazing.

One Thing I Cannot Live Without

- Carmex
When we were in Canada, BOTH of my carmex tubes reached the end of their lives. I got a tin of cute, expensive lip balm from Lush, and it doesn't matter. I need my Carmex.
