Braving the Cold!

  • Dec. 5th, 2009 at 1:48 PM
confused, dumb blonde, thinking
So, I finally decided to get off my ass and get some things done.

I'm going to go outside... and geez I hate the cold... toss my garbage and walk ver to the grocery store. Before that however I got my mail... and dun dun dun! I have a note saying I have a parcel waiting in my grocery store post office! This is the first parcel I've ever gotten while living here! I'm going crazy wondering what the heck it could be! Probably nothing exciting and something rather boring....But still... Parcel!

PS money came in the mail...hurrah... nothing much just reimbusrment for some school stuff...

My Head is Killing Me!

Ack! My brain hates me! It pains me so!

Need more sleep and to do work.

Joss Whedon rocks my socks... watching the new episode of Dollhouse... so twisted.

So much still to do... paper work, cleaning house, grocery shopping (I need food), and so on.

Calling it in.

I think I'm gonna call in sick today. Still not feeling tip top.... Thank goodness I'm done full time teaching and the classes I have today are all prepped and ready to go...

But yea I feel pretty gross, would totally think I had the flu, except my temperature seems to be lower than normal... whateve...

I'll probably sleep and tidy up...

So Dizzy

I feel like such a bum right now.

I was supposed to go to [info]cosmicastaway 's birthday movie thing.... but I'm so dizzy right now, I'm having some trouble typing. I just hate it though, because really I owe her a movie from like 2 years ago... and I keep meaning to go to a movie with her, but ... life keeps interrupting my plans...

I've become very disconnected from the people around me in the last few years... I suck at keeping connected, and I was really looking forward to this movie and seeing her again.

Procrastination abounds!

confused, dumb blonde, thinking
I SUCK!

*slap to face* Must get work done!

I feel kind of bad for my university supervisor... I'm quite late handing in important documents... and here I am posting here for the first time in months to avoid actually typing lesson and unit plans... I suck...

But it must be done before tomorrow night as a friend is celebrating her birth with movie goodness and I WILL be there....

Just thinking... I don't think anyone actually reads anything that I write here... I'm not sure if my friends even still exist on here or not.... I must revive my lj account... I think I'll try to post as often as I can...

I also think I want to buy a permanent account when they go on sale again...if they do, just cause I want all those user pics...icons whatever...

I just love those "..." don't I?

So tired...

sad puppet, woe
I'm kind of quietly ticked off right now... I'm keeping the reason to myself... been slowly getting upset for a bit but now its settled into a quiet-grudge likeness...

Anyway, on to more important things.
Very VERY tired, cause I have to get up very early to get ready for classes... It also feels like I have so much to do right now and no real time to do it. Can't wait til I'm done work and can focuse some more. Also just can't keep my apartment clean.

Movie trailers

quiet, bookworm

Ok, so everybody has to know... I love movie trailers, it's one of the big reasons that I go see movies in the theater and I always check out previews on line... so here's one I just came across, it's a horror that looks kind of funny.
EDIT: IF YOU DON'T LOOK AT ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS ENTRY @ LEAST WATCH THIIS ONE AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.
"Jennifer's Body"

This one looks kind of neat too, based on a comic book.
"Surrogates" and because of Bruce Willis it kind of makes me think of Die Hard... and I love Die Hard...

And this one Just looks HOT! HOTTIES! and it looks funny and cool as well...
Sherlock Holmes

Blood: The Last Vampire... cause it's based on a manga and I want to see how well they did...

Gamer... looks interesting and has Gerard Butler... so here it is...

Interesting... mostly cause I think that the one guy is Ben Foster, an actor whose work I love no matter what he is in... seriously...PLUS made by the people who did Resident Evil, so...
Pandorum
Edit: I removed the preview... well because I don't really want to see it in theaters, the only reason I even want to see it is cause Ben foster is in it.

H2: Halloween 2, cause I just have to see it after seeing the first... there's really no choice about it... and I love when they have the same actors in a sequel...

I also want to see Avatar the Last Airbender just cause I think the combination of live action cartoon and Night Shyamalan is bound to be interesting, plus as Bee pointed out "Flying Buffalo thing!"


Can you tell I got bored today?

Music

So Bee came over to keep me company while I lazed about getting better from my bout of flu, and we watched REPO, which then led to looking up REPO deleted scenes, and then Sarah Brightman videos, which then led me to watch other music videos... so here are some.

Sarah Brightman

Time to Say Goodbye

Anytime, Anywhere

Deliver Me

Scarborough Fair

Arabian Nights

Harem
ignore the bit at the end


And yes I watched much too much Sarah Brightman... I'm actually cleaning to it. Here's the other artist that I was talking about, too.

Tarja Turunen
I Walk Alone

Die Alive



Which then led me to Nightwish
Bye Bye Beautiful

yea... so these were some of my musical adventures today...

I'm kind of actually wondering if LJ will let me put all these up....
?

ummm...cat food?

  • May. 26th, 2009 at 8:18 PM
jack sparrow, laughing at me
I'm eating some Uncle Ben's rice from a microwavable pouch... it kind of reminds me of cat food...but I'm gonna eat it anyway....

Intern placement

airguitar, shilo, spank
Got placed on Friday, and I'm here in the city even though I was told over and over again that that wouldn't happen. Both frustrated and relieved by this placement. Emailed my teacher and nothing back yet... getting anxious, always hate when people who are expecting your message don't get back to you right away, especially when it's something that's kind of important...

5 Thing MEME

  • Mar. 25th, 2009 at 5:08 PM
confused, dumb blonde, thinking

Directions: Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given. Feel free to give me five more if you want.

Got this from Kori, sorry it took so long to put up.

1) Art
I love art, its just so much fun and so expressive. Art is actually one of the reasons that I like music (I like music usually for 1 of 3 reasons... it inspires me and is good to paint to, I can dance to it, or its on a soundtrack I like). I haven't actually been doing alot of art just for myself lately. The last couple years its been mostly schoolwork, although I do have a painting that I'm working on right now for Bee. I just need to put on the finishing touches.

2) Education/librarian/books
School sucks, why do I want to be a teacher again... sigh, although it's different when you're the teacher, and I'm trying to make classes fun and not boring. Librarian is my fall back gig if I decide I can't handle being a teacher (which I will decide after I do my internship next year).
And I just plain love books, have since the third grade when I really learned to read. Before that I actually had alot of trouble reading and it would take me forever. But in third grade we had a competition that ran the whole year to see who could read the most books. I took home big chapter books (or what were "big chapter books" to me at the time) and my mom noticed that I couldn't even get through a page, so she made me return the book to the library and read the Dr.Seuss books we had lying around the house... this ticked me off to no end because I felt these were baby books... but I read them all, and began to read other short books at the library and it just expanded from there... So that's how I learned to read from my mom and Dr.Seuss.

3) What's your favourite thing about Buffy/Repo?
First off Joss Whedon is my hero. Pretty much anything he touches is golden. Have you seen Dr.Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog (if not check out my earlier entries.) Buffy was about a high school girl fighting the supernatural and it was a leader among tv shows.
Repo is just so freaking awesome, it's so surreal and yet gritty.
Also note that both Buffy and Repo have great soundtracks (and for Buffy I don't just mean the musical but the whole series). They both spark my imagination and bring themes of violence, love and the just plain strange.

4) What's your favourite anime?
OMG! How am I supposed to answer this? I guess I have to say that right now it's Bleach, although I have to give nods to some classics like Gundam Wing, Sailor Moon, Digimon, Naruto (newer and not quite old enough to be a classic), Trigun, and no doubt there are others I am forgetting and some on my wish list that I have yet to see.

5) Where did wren_black come from?
It's actually the name of a character in the Honour Among Thieves series that was started with the rest of The4 (Bee, Rae and Azi) back in high school. We each created characters which were at least a bit based upon ourselves, and Wren Black was mine. The series is about a group of young high school teachers who are actually genetically and magically gifted international jewel theives who end up cursed and travelling through time looking for magical relics. It's a great story and I hope one day we finish it. We actually have the majority of it planned, and have for years.

I've Fallen and I can't get up

angst


Yesterday was BAD. I don't know what happened but I spent the entire morning trying not to cry. I was just suddenly so sad. I couldn't concentrate, my thoughts were all over the placer and disjointed, I was disconnected from my surroundings, time felt like it was running wierd, it was just bad. Actually I feel alot of those things alot of the time, it was just yesterday they were all at once and the depression was making it worse than usual, cause usually I can deal with it unless I get that unrelenting angst thing going on for no apparent reason.

Anyway I went to my first class, cause we were talking about an assignment and then after that I had to go home, being there was only making it worse and I knew nothing important was happening in class yesterday...

This morning I slept in and had to call of my Tuesday morning coffee meeting with my art friend. I think he was ok with it, but I just feel so guilty... *sigh*... I will buy him a coffee next time I see him as a further plea for forgiveness. We've been trying to meet up for coffee for weeks, and we've just been to busy to actually meet up... But we rescheduled for Saturday, so it should all be good.

So, anyway, I'm only mildly sad this morning, mostly feeling guilty... and as punishment, I'm going to make myself do homework and clean the apartment *insert evil laugh here*
 

Dr.Horrible is awesome

  • Mar. 8th, 2009 at 5:57 PM
madness

Thought I'd put a link up to the first part... take a look. If you like it I would advise getting it. I intend to buy it on DVD as soon as I can now that I have seen it. I also read an interview with Joss Whedon about how they made the Sing-Along-Blog, and it's really cool because alot of people made this without getting paid, and so we should support them, cause this stuff is just so cool.
Starts a bit oddly, when I first saw it I was like...huh...but it is good so give it a chance, first song starts about 4 minutes in.



I love Dr.Horrible and I kind of want to kick Captian Hammer's butt. I don't especially like the girl because I think she makes some bad decisions.

To watch the rest of this just go to the next few parts.

Heroes and Villians

  • Mar. 8th, 2009 at 9:20 AM
evil laugh
Last night went to go see The Watchmen with Bee. It rocked! I loved it (although I would have wrote it differently if I had made it, but then again it probably wouldn't have been as good had I wrote it. I also bought the first Angel Omnibus and read about half of it last night, pretty good.

This morning I also watched Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog and it was just great... Joss Whedon is my hero. Actually it was pretty cool to watch Dr. Horrible right after I had watched the Watchmen because of the differences and contrasts and everything. I think I might go watch some episodes of Dollhouse now, that looks like its pretty good too (of course it is Joss Whedon made it!). Might also go and do some catching up on Bleach.

Thought I might also mention here that I was watching tv the other day and watched the movie Sky High (as I am talking about different hero/villian movies here) and suprisingly I kind of liked it, although my favourite character was Warren Peace (I really like the actor who played him).

On a totally different note, we went to Yohei's last night for supper, and I just couldn't have the tofu (which is totally my favourite), really hoping that I didn't ruin tofu for myself forever because of my bad cooking.

ps. wish I had more icons... may need to look into upgrading my account again...wonder how much a permanent account costs?

Bleh!

  • Mar. 6th, 2009 at 7:16 PM
sad puppet, woe
I am not feelin to great.... and I blame my own cooking...

I decided to try making fried tofu, a rice noodle salad and some rice. My tofu cooked alot better and easier than I thought it would. But then when I tried to eat them they were really tough, and now I don't feel too good. The dressing that I made for my noodle salad wasn't that good either.... just a not good meal all around.
I also feel pretty greasy from the frying, and my kitchen which I had just cleaned is dirty again...

Not sure what to do with the rest of my fried tofu... but I think it might go in the garbage.

Weird dreams again

  • Mar. 5th, 2009 at 9:23 AM
blind mag's eyes
I've been having weird dreams again lately, though I'm not remembering them very well after I wake up... Yesterday when I woke up all I could remember was that I had been shot in the leg... and apparently someone was trying to get the bullet out with a q-tip... I think I woke up because of some weird expectation of pain and then dream pain or something, cause it wasn't real but it was disturbing and I can feel phantom bullet holes right now.

And then this morning I was dreaming about eating snacks in a hotel room with my friends... Bee was there and someone who looked oddly like a young Goldie Hawn... dunno... but I woke up when I realized I was trying to eat my bite-plate (orthodontic night piece)...

Attempting Poupee Widget

Oreana gave me a code to try so here it is.... and why do I always want to put two 'n's in Oreana?

 






What exactly is the purpose of a widget? Am supposed to put one of these on each post or something???

DOES NO ONE WANT ANYTHING!?!?!?

  • Mar. 4th, 2009 at 1:52 PM
stare, glare
If you look back an entry or 2 I am offering free made by me gifts and so far I've only had one taker... *wibble* Does no one truly want anything from my talented mind?

Time to prioritize!

  • Mar. 4th, 2009 at 1:15 PM
grr, cute tough
Ok, so it's already March... this school year has almost come and gone... not sure if I am any closer to being a teacher or being ready to teach, but we'll see how it goes I guess.

I'm still on my emotional rollercoaster, although I'm trying not have as many weird highs and lows jumping out at me. There's also these weird times where time seems to be running funny... but let's not get into all that because then I start to freak myself out...

Anyway, I need to overhaul my apartment (it's gotten really quite bad), get assignments done early, no more skipping class (ooops), getting things together and meet with my co operating teachers at the high school so I can figure out what I am teaching at the end of the month... and not go crazy...

I think I'll also try to come in here again and keep posting. For awhile I was doing good with keeping up with my posting, but then I got hooked on Poupee and that stole some of my free time... but hopefully I'll finally do all that organizing that I've been meaning to do and my life might go alittle smoother than what I have right now.

Just seeing if this works, I suck when it comes to technology.
