i didn't realize all those years ago when i got my snazzy nickname for my gmail account - without having to add random numbers or symbols to the end of it - what a pain in the ass it would be later on. all those people who signed up after me, who were probably pissed their preferred nickname was taken, added the requisite numbers and/or symbols but are constantly forgetting to put them in when they use their email to sign up for shit on the internets. so now i keep getting all these confirmation emails of their purchases or, today, the return of their dvd's from their wannabe netflix service*. it's annoying. ...but i'm still glad i got my nickname. hehe.
just watched the movie "cache", which was a complete waste of my time. thankfully i had the forethought to fast-forward through some of the long static shots where NOTHING happens and NOTHING is said for minutes at a time. bleh. it's too bad i chose that movie to watch after watching "evan almighty" with kurt earlier... because that one is a complete waste of time too. i freaking hate steve carell. how many times can someone get hit in the nuts in one movie and people still think it's funny? fuckin' a.
wow, i guess i'm all filled up with vitriol and bitterness tonight.
you know what didn't make me bitter? seeing islands on wednesday night. they were so great! kurt and i were entranced with the violin and viola players. the one guy was the most animated guy on stage - you could tell he was having a blast while the rest were pretty disaffected rockers for the most part. the singer and guitar player had on the tightest pants i've ever seen on a boy. they must not want children. and the singer also had on these little kid sunglasses. total rock star stupidness except they were so fantastic it didn't even matter. oh, and the violinist had a bow with black fibers. kurt and i had never seen that before and kurt thought it was super duper cool. they played mostly new songs but did play "bones" and the song with the rap in it from return to the sea. the guy who did the rap part was one of the openers, despot, and was also great. he had us doing rap aerobics and shit. good times.
the rest of this week has mostly just limped along. i don't feel good lately and i'm not sure what the deal is. i'm seriously beginning to wonder if i have asthma. i get winded so easily and ridiculously worn out after doing the simplest things. this has been happening for a looong time but has gotten increasingly worse this spring. i thought it was just my allergies but i started taking claritin along with my other crap and it hasn't seemed to make a difference. i mean, it helped with my sinus issues but not this overwhelming tiredness and not being able to breath business. i'm going to make an appointment with student health tomorrow as soon as i find out what their summer hours are.
had my first meeting with my french teacher this week to discuss the articles i've been reading. realized how badly i suck at conversational french. i felt like a complete idiot. i knew the words i wanted to use but kept screwing up the conjugations and tenses. aaaaaand haven't done much to prepare for the next meeting either. i'm supposed to read three articles about canadian television, in french, but i can't seem to figure out the best way to search for articles on candadian television. i've tried google searches in french and just end up with canadian TV websites, not news. i've searched news sites and only end up with articles where they barely mention TV. i'll have to search harder this week.
anyway, another boring entry from me. the stuff in the garden is starting to sprout but the weeds are growing faster. i'd like to get in there and weed but i'd prefer to wait until everything gets a little bigger so i can avoid stepping the teeny vegetable sproutlings. uh-huh, not much else is new. i think i'll go to bed now. ciao!
(oh, i'll have to work up a longer entry on the books i've been reading. not that it will be that exciting for anyone reading but i'd like to put my thoughts on them somewhere.)
* the movies were "semi-pro" and "call of the wild". nice taste, person-who-wishes-they-had-my-username. also, i just realized the wannabe service is the one that uses automated kiosks that look like soda machines. we just got one of these at my grocery store recently. it's weird. person-who-wishes-they-had-my-username got and then dropped their movies off at mcdonalds. now i like them even less. |
