Listening to... some random song on the Tech Channel
Feeling... a little tipsy
Ehh, I thought I felt like posting, but now I'm not so sure. I had a beer with a light dinner, which has left me feeling tipsy and sleepy... I know if I go to bed now I won't get back up until tomorrow... This would be bad, I really have to study. Blah... Mmmm, the thought of curling up in bed and wallowing away the evening is really appealing... Can I afford to lose tonight's study time? I don't have any time Monday to study for I/O. I have camp 2:30-5 (I wish she hadn't scheduled me then) and then a Weezer concert which I'll need to depart for by at least 7:00. Yuck! I think I may have convinced myself though, I'll grab my I/O book and try to take advantage of this brief feeling of motivation.

Watching... Beautiful Mind until stupid GTCN screwed up and turned it off
Feeling... not good, I have a headache and really want Mexican
I was almost suckered into a four year magazine subscription today. My two year subscription to Mademoiselle finally ran out. Man, I hated that... a monthly reminder of what a pushover I was that one stupid day. Anyway, I got this postcard that was really cryptic. I thought for sure I was calling in to be talked to about Jesus, instead they told me I was entered in some big prize drawing. Then somehow, she signed me up for three magazines based on my saying that my preference in magazines was "news". I am sooooo glad I wised up suddenly and got out of it. Tricky, tricky...

Watching... Gosford Park
Feeling... indecisive
I've been majorly indecisive lately, and tonight is no exception. The counselors are hanging out as usual, but I'd rather stay home and finish my movie. On the other hand, I would like to see a few of the counselors. I don't know if hanging out with them is worth dealing with the others.
Last night only five of us turned up for a movie night. Four of them played spades while I watched a movie. I have never encounter such a rude bunch of people. At least not in people I thought were friends. I don't like playing spades, and they know this, but I can't imagine I would ever play a game that excluded only one person in a party. They could've at least asked if I wanted to play. OR when I blatantly complained at the end of one game and before they began a second game, they wouldn't even switch games. Megan insisted that she didn't want to play any of the other games. Grrrr!!!! I can't believe there are such inconsiderate people. Well, I guess I can.

Listening to... The Last Song I Will Ever Write About a Girl- The Ataris
Feeling... naughty, I should be at the radio station right now.
Well, I guess I'm not being good about this, I missed two days of blogging. I did have a good excuse though, I went home on Saturday and the comp at home is really slow. I thought about the blog once while online but it takes so long to do anything, I guess I forgot about it while waiting for other stuff to load.
I was going to have an Austen film fest this weekend, but Hastings back home did not cooperate and the only Austin film they had (and that was in) was Persuasion. This one had not been recommended to me, probably because it is a pretty minor movie, and not very good. It just wasn't "pretty." On the upside, my sister had Emma, so I did get two films in. Emma was much better, and the people and scenery were prettier. Gwyneth Paltrow was not the Emma I envisioned, but I guess until I become a famous casting director, I can't complain. They did a good job of capturing the bulk of the story, without dumbing it down. Persuasion, on the other hand, assumed you had read the book and knew what was going on. I have read the book recently, but anyone else would've been completely lost. They really needed an internal dialogue for Anne or a narrator.
Play MASH online
Funny little diversion... I always play MASH to pass the time when classes get unbearably boring. I found an online version today though, which saves the trouble of pen and paper. I'm glad laptops are not widely used in the classroom, or I would never listen in class. I would just play online.
I saw a guy in my I/O psyc class with a laptop playing old-skool Mario Bros. during the lecture. It was almost as distracting for me as it was for him and his friend. I don't know how people like me will learn when class gets completely integrated online. It's bad enough that some profs want me to just make notes on print outs of their Power Point presentations. I learn by writing, so when notes are ancient history, I'll be lost. I think I'm far enough along that I can get stuck in my ways without too many consequences. Am I an old enough dog to refuse to learn new tricks?
