Renaissance Girl

So Philip came to visit me today and just had to go and mention doing Wicked at the Bathhouse, and had to go and chat about casting, and had to actually not stop me from singing, and so it's all your bloody fault that now the music will not leave my head! And I went to the webpage to listen, but they only have small clips of the songs, so not only is the music stuck in my head, but it's just a little bit of each song. (And yes, I adore this musical. But honestly.)

Still have Bible to read. Hmm...Leviticus. And not the interesting part about shrimp, either. Pah.

EDIT: Looking for Wicked picures, found one of Norbert Leo Butz (Fiero) wearing a Kerry pin. Rock on. *grin*

ENVIRONMENTAL!

Onto other things...

Had much homework to do this weekend. Did barely any of it, as usual. I hate this feeling of being useless. I know I feel much better when I actually get things done but I have noooo motivation...agh.

I also have a sudden desire to watch bad Robin Hood movies. And Men in Tights. Oy.

CLAIRE! When you get back from skiing and so forth, we need to have lunch as I am finished with something I said I'd make for you. (I hope you still want pink.)

Being the latest in a long line, I am convinced that this test is biased for ( Wicked. )


And the creature that is my hair. Still odd, though less so than before. Sorry for the red eye.
( me... )

Toodlepip!

I'm hungry. I could walk over to C-Street but I am a lazy arse. And when I go to the website to find out the rest of Bon's hours, the "hours" link takes me to a "What's New" page in which they inform me that Bagel Oasis is coming to campus, and while that is all very well and good, it isn't what I want to know! Bah, I say. Lack of food is making me cranky. I will be going over there soon.

Woke up at four again. Joy. Dozed till six thirty, when I read my Shakespeare book, hurrah. Today marks the day of the beginning of school again. Am feeling more inclined toward that now that I am awake and feeling less like a dead thing. I think I'm coming down with a cold though. Grrrargh.

There is massive condensation on the inside of my window. Brrrr cold.

Time for breakfast!

Welcome to Wednesday. Today my parents leave for England. God I hate being alone...for the first few days it'll be fabulous and by Friday I'll be whingeing and finding people to hang out with. Beware. :)

Saw Noises Off at the Rep--hysterically funny, I adore that play. They did quite a good job with it, too--go see. Runs through....15th of January I think.

Post anything that you want, and post it anonymously. Anything. A story, a secret, a confession, a fear, a love - anything. Be sure to post anonymously and honestly. Post twice if you'd like. Then, put this in your LJ to see what your friends (and perhaps others who you don't even realize read your LJ) have to say.


Just bought my books for winter quarter....two hundred and forty nine dollars. I am so effing lucky that my grandpa made all those bonds for me, because without those...well, I'd be working my ass off to pay for it all. So much money!

Jesus! We talked about Jesus today! It was fun. And Erin and I spent lunch chattering about LOTR and bad historical movies (mostly Troy and Alexander) and the VSDs and so forth and I COMPLETELY FORGOT about Claire and I feel terrible. But tomorrow! I PROMISE, bastard bro, I'll be there...:)

Last day of classes. Hmm. I'll miss them, really...my teachers were all fabulous and the classes were awesome. It's the papers (grrr, Plato, grrr) and finals that get stressful. Next quarter...should be interesting.

Today was remarkably fun. In the morning we all walked down the Seattle Art Museum, and wandered through the exhibit of Spain in the Age of Exploration--some truly gorgeous paintings and armor and scientific objects in there. I'm glad I'm a member and can go back for free because I really didn't have enough time. (If they have that open-till-all-hours thing again--anyone want to go at, say, two am with me?)
And then John said something about getting food at Pike Place, and Elaine said oh, yes, and then John, Elaine, Mallory, Tara, Kyle, Erin, Annie and I all walked through Pike Place and got lunch at the Piroshky place. (Mmmmm, food of the motherland, even though I'm not remotely Russian.) We sat around in the funny little park that smells like pee and told stories...and then after Erin and Annie left, the rest of us wandered up to Cold Stone Creamery since Elaine had a gift certificate. And we ate ice cream and talked and laughed about stupid things. John made Kyle repeat his comment of last night comparing beautiful girls to urinals (both fulfil a biological need), with Kyle protesting that he had better intentions than it came out sounding like he did, and all of us laughing, and the man at the counter looking disturbed at Elaine's laugh (it's high and squeaky, but so funny). And then we went to Nordstroms...I can't remember why. The girls (Mallory, Elaine and Tara) wanted to try on exceedingly high priced dresses just for fun. On the escalators we ran into Andy...who apparently John and Kyle knew (tall, suave, well-dressed and very good looking), and he ended up leading the girls to the best dresses. And then they stopped at BP, and I hung around in the aisle with the guys, as the place frightened me overmuch. And then Andy took us to Pacific Place...we spent the day wandering about to high-priced stores, not buying anything. And for some reason, it was terribly fun. It felt like a group, that we liked each other--we cracked jokes and whistled when John tried on jeans for the first time, and laughed over horribly ugly $3,000 dollar clothes.
I don't know. It was fun. Plus I got to eat Piroshky for lunch, which basically makes my day. I'm very tired...and sort of hungry...but I want to go back out again. Maybe I'll drop by Value Village...although they had a sale today, which means there's probably nothing left and it's really crowded. Maybe to the store on Broadway to see if they have Newsies, or I have to pick up that newspaper...and the CD from the library. Hmm. And I also have to read Aristotle.

Twelve days until Turkeybreak.

( i did this last night in a fit of boredom... )

Need it be said again I adore my history class?

Dr. M: "The Americans aren't the first stupid people in history. Nor the Brits. And the Brits have been stupid a lot longer than we have." (Lizzy, I thought of you on that one...)

Dr M: (leaning over me, as he does often to us poor students): And so what had to happen [to the two kingdoms of Egypt]?"
Me: "Er...they had to unify them?"
Dr. M: "Two! Two! Two mints in one! That's Jesus, you know--two men in one. He's a candy mint! He's a breath mint! And they said, no, he's god--but anyway...."

Dr. M: "Yahweh! That's about as cool a name as you can get!"

Dr. M: "For the next three months I get to make you my clones...I wanna rule the world."
Amber: "Me too."

Dr M: "Numbers is not a Jew."

Also today I had lunch with Chane, Felix, Shannon and Shannon's sister, and that was nice, to talk to people I already knew. Yesterday I got a letter and a postcard from Allie and then finally the letter than Emily sent to my house, and today I got a letter from Claire and a postcard from Rebecca, so masses of mail making me v. happy.
Danica and I went shopping, and had feta cheese to put on our salads tonight, and brownies for dessert...mmm...plus other snack foods, because a dorm room is not complete without them.
And now, while all I really want to do is finish Howl's Moving Castle and then read Shoebox, I have two hundred pages of the Odyssey to read by Thursday, and about twenty pages of Jones for tomorrow (Atomists, so I should rip through that fairly quickly). Reading is getting insane...will get insaner. Cripes.
Other than having too much dressing on my salad and too much mayo on my sandwich, though, life is good.

Also, this is amusingly and dsitrubingly apt:

Could we consent to a lower standard of living if it meant that other people around the world could have a higher? How selfish are we as a people? (Try "very.")
Apparently now when you call Microsoft's 1-800 number you are speaking to somebody in India...and the people in India are being coached to have American accents rather than British when they speak English. I don't know if that's entirely true...but if it is, I wouldn't be suprised.
Am I the only one who finds this disturbing and aggravating?

Talked to Scott today about my thesis...am feeling slightly less at sea. I mean, I'm still in a leaky boat with a sieve, but I may have some sense of where I'm going at least...heh. I need to make a choice and run with it...because really it will be interesting no matter what direction I go. He says he can get me an "in" with someone at NW Women's Law Center, who is lawyering on behalf of the six couples suing King County. Hmmm. Civil disobidience and all that...it's very interesting. Sims vs. persons-in-San-Fran...and so forth.
(Read this week's Stranger...it's the "Marriage Issue." Has some interesting articles. And also much less snippy and annoying than most Stranger issues. It's good.)

Also talked with other defense people in class...Alex Chavez, you are going down! :D I don't think I want to be a lawyer when I grow up. But I might go to law school...maybe be a paralegal. That would be interesting...

One week until my birthday....

( A Few More Dumb Things... )

Gonna go catch my bus and go home now. God, I'm not really looking forward to how busy I'm going to be this weekend....Eeeeep!
