Grumblings...

I hate it when I want to write... I even know what I want to say... but before I can even begin I have to read articles, so I can write. Even though I've already read the stupid articles, I still have to read them because if I don't I won't make any sense. I wish I just knew everything so that I would never have to read before I write and I could just write and write and write and I'd be a prolific author and an esteemed historian... Instead... I have to read. So annoying.

Also, I found this cool website today... well, by found, I mean... I read it in my daily trip through the blog-o-sphere, so I'm not really sure if that means I found it, or if fate magically happened to show me. Anyway... here's the link. Look at it. You know you are dying to see it.

FOR YOU...

Behold!

If you never see me again...

... it's because the GRE fucking killed me.

I wrote today...

... Four pages. Now I'm sleepy, and I have to get up early, so... I'm gonna call it a night. If I can just keep up the momentum I got tonight... I may just be able to pull this thing off. I hope so. I really hope so.

I need to look at graduate school. I'm starting to freak out about that.

God, I have to start working during the day... Next week, I will... Because otherwise I have no time to work. I'm just glad I got my night class homework for next week finished already.

I'm going to be good now. No more TV all day. No TV anyday until I write at least 2pages. That should be good. I will make this work.

I'm sleepy.

Sometimes when I'm writing...

... I feel like I'm completely full of shit and rewriting history how I see it. Who am I to say what happened almost 500 years ago? I really wish I had a time machine. That would be so cool.

I am still not getting what I want...

... sometimes I wonder if I ever will.

Evidence

So... I thought the porn was so hilarious that I copied it at work and put it up as a display on our fridge. The housemates love it. I do too. hehehe...

I read a book this evening and learned many things.

One of which is that 18th century pornography is hilarious. Evidence of this fact coming soon.

i want...

these gloves! size medium please!

best news i've had all day!

actually... I've had a pretty damn good day today, but this is awesome and I have no one to share it with at the moment.

Just so you know the context. I ordered an Amanda Fucking Palmer and Ben Folds signed cd and only got the Amanda Fucking Palmer signature... so... this is what I heard back from the Amanda Fucking Palmer folks:

*clears throat and steps onto the box of rock*

we are very sorry you had to make your voices heard in the first place regarding this
between stuff not being sent when it was supposed to and now this...
it's just been a mess...
but you did
and we're glad
so thank you
and again, sorry

all of you being open with us about your hopes, frustrations, and problems is what helps keep this 'lil ship of punk cabaret love afloat

that said, there was a shipping error at the warehouse
the box of ben folds/amp signed cd's got put somewhere on a shelf near the ark of the covenant or some such thing
and, well, some poor shipping dude (prolly being paid a few bucks an hour) thought he was doing the right thing getting you all A signed cd -- he just didn't know there were different types

we have now uncovered the lost art box o' folds' signed discs
and we're going to make sure you get your 2x copy as originally planned
and for your trouble, the one you got -- signed just by amanda -- is yours

give it to your friend, give it to your mom, give it to your dog -- share the love, share the music, enjoy the record, and thank you all for being so patient and awesome as always Afro

Two cds!!! Yay!!!

omg...

check out this link...

"Talking Islam Doll"

this one too:

Watch the crazy hillbillies hate on Islam.

people are ridiculous.

Presidential debate

John McCain looks like a turtle.

Sent from my iPod, Astronaut.

Alice is dying

She seems to be dying more quickly than she once was. Now to get her to boot at all I have to go to the boot menu when she starts up and manually choose that I want her to boot from the hard drive. I have no idea what that means. But I think it's not a good thing.

I feel like a bad mother

I just spent the evening cutting out parts of my very first article, so I can present it in my allotted 15 minutes at the writers showcase. I've cut it from 23 pages to 11. I still need to get it down one more page, I think, the problem is that if I cut much more out, it won't make sense. Not to mention, I feel like I'm cutting the extremities off of my baby.

The Battle of Pea Ridge

This is what a Civil War battlefield looks like:



Today, I went on a class field trip to Pea Ridge. The trip was relatively uneventful, and my mini-speech for class went well. However, everyone in the class did a mini-speech, and many of the people decided to do a not-so-mini-speech, and that, unfortunately, is boring. Very very boring. At some points I wanted to poke my eyes out. I wish my professor would have just spoken the whole time. He's boring, but at least he's a decent speaker and he knows what he's talking about.

The trip down there was interesting though. I drove, and I had my friend do the navigating. But there was a mix up of some sort on Google's end, and we ended up going down this little country road (Wimpy Jones Road, for those of you keeping score) which was totally unneccessary and got us no where. Seriously. After driving down it for what seemed like forever, we ended up back on the highway we started from. It was really, really strange.

That's when I made her ask for directions. (Sometimes real people are better than Google.)

The trip was supposed to take just under two hours, but because of our minor setbacks (that is plural, because I only told you the funniest one) it took 2 and a half hours to get there. It was a good thing we left a half hour early.

Anyway, I got home this afternoon, and immediately fell asleep forever... We're talking a 5 hour nap (that was supposed to be only one hour), so now I'll probably be awake all night. Dumb.

This entry is going no where. I have nothing else to say.

These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along.

What? Famous People?

Today, I went to a "probama" rally. I'm not usually the type to go to any kind of politically affiliated event, but a friend wanted me to go with her... because these two chicks from television were speaking. I don't at all know who they were. All I know is that one was from "Heroes" and the other was from "the Office." I also know that they were both really short. Now will show you a picture.



One thing I have to say for Obama... He's sure got cooler celebrity fans *couAmandaPalmergh* than McCain, that and he doesn't have a Sarah Palin. However, he could have had a Hillary... Then all would be right in the world.

movie time!!!

Where does all the time go?

You would not believe how incredibly busy I am all the time. I thought that after last week I would have free time, or at least some time to just, I don't know, do noting. So far that hasn't worked out. I have been working constantly on homework, and between the work I have for my two actual classes, I have no time whatsoever to even think about working on my thesis. Omg. I'm never going to get it finished. I'm going to fail school, and then I will die a sad and lonely life with no sex. That would be a shame.

In other news, I listened to the new Ben Folds album when it came out a couple of days ago. I felt it was my duty since Amanda loves him, and since Regina Spektor sings on the one song with him. Sad to say... I just really don't like his style. Lyrics, yes. Style, no. So... yeah... that was sad for me.

Now I must work on a bibliography... then prepare for my class. After that, I'm going with my roommate on a field trip to a book store. It's supposed to be the best in town. We'll see about that. I'll report back later.
