Olmsted is my Homeboy

You all rock. My friends are seriously Grade A Awesome.

My day actually got worse. Like horrible, ohgodmylife, worse.

But then it got better because I went to Wawa for dinner. I saw a really hot motorcycle. And then I saw said motorcycle's rider who was very good looking. Which, you know, two for one! Then when I was paying, the guy who made my sandwich brought it over to me. It was sweet. Wawa is like comfort food.

Now I have to write about asylums. Or rather come up with a research question about them. And landscapes associated with them. I'm setting myself up for disaster aren't I?

Meanwhile, I actually just found some fucking AMAZING INFO. OLMSTED AND VAUX DESIGNED THE LANDSCAPE AT THE BUFFALO STATE HOSPITAL! HOLY SHIT. HOLY CRAP. CAN I WORK WITH ABANDONED MENTAL ASYLUMS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE PLZ?

HELP!

Does anyone of my Season 2 of Angel? It is missing. Please check your DVDs. If you forgot you had them, that is totally fine. I just want them back. I miss my Angel DVDs.

Meanwhile, my life currently sucks. As in my workload is astronomically high and I sort of want to shoot myself. And I keep having this fear, I'm going to fail out.

Recovering my Angel DVDs would only slighly assuage this fear. As in, not at all. BUT I WANT THEM BACK.

You comment to this post, and I list five things I associate with you. They might make sense or they might be totally random — then you post that list, with your commentary, to your lj. I and other people get our lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.

New Jersey

Oh, my love of Jersey. I have lived here for more or less half my life. I like it here. I probably won't stay after college but it was a pretty good place to grow up. I live halfway between Philly and New York which made for great field trips as a kid. Besides, I got the shore, Kevin Smith, and a whole host of other awesome people from here.

Jared Padelecki's award-winning jeans

OMG. THANK YOU WARDROBE DEPARTMENT OF FRIDAY THE 13th. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Never has a man's behind looked so fine. xD Friday the 13th was basically a vehicle for Jared's ass.

stoner movies


I used to dislike this genre. Now I do not. I love them hardcore. CANNOT EXPLAIN MY LOVE. BUT IT IS DEEP. [livejournal.com profile] theo_winterwood are finally making our Kevin Smith pilgrimage around Jersey. With another stop - White Castle. By the by, there is no White Castle in Mt. Holly.

quality beer


I only drink good beer. My only exception? Budweiser. In a bottle, not a can. Canned beer is crap. Light beer is crap. I don't drink to get drunk. I don't need to drink, so I will take my calories when I do. Nothing beats lazing on the couch, surfing the internet, and drinking a Blue Moon. So, conclusion: canned light beer is evil and horrible. Do not drink it. Also, dollar burger night at Capital Ale House? The best time to get a great beer and a good burger. As far as quality beer goes, I love Blue Moon. It's my favorite standard beer. Rasberry lambic is nice when you have the money for it.

burlesque

In which my head explodes...

TOO MUCH WORK. And not enough coordination.

I got a Venti frappuccino earlier. BAD PLAN. I felt like I had overdosed on caffeine. Usually I get a small coffee but I pulled a really late night last night and now I need to do another one. Hence need for large amount of caffeine. Yeah, no, never again.

Meanwhile, I cannot think of anything to write about for this damn webcomic book for my Graphic Novel class.

Ugh, I feel sick from the caffeine.

Bleh.

ETA: Still feel sick. Have contributed a paragraph thus far. Feel like I got painted in a corner. Still sucks hardcore. Working on a project about webcomics is inherently distracting. Must drive many hours tomorrow. Must find time to sleep.

MemeSHEEP

The Oscar were wonderful. And quote-able! The Oscar Party was fun. I would have preferred the comfort of my own chair and television but alas Cheap Seats duties. I did get a really sweet Cry_Wolf poster out of it. I don't care if the movie is bad; the poster is awesome.

How sad is it that the coolest thing that has happened as of late is me actually talking in class? It's mid-semester and I had not talked in British Victorian Novel once before today. I forced myself to try and contribute today and it was great! I always feel out of place among English majors. I got to say how Mr. Thornton is a whiny emo boy who waffles a lot. The class was highly amused. I am glad the most I have spoken this semester provoked much amusement.

Meanwhile North and South, the book, is proving to be so much better than the miniseries. And I frickn' love the miniseries. Mr. Thornton is ridiculously emo but lovely in his love for Margaret. Dear book, I <3 you hardcore.

There is a season.

The Sun Sets On Famed Female Bullfighter Conchita Cintron
-Whether or not you are into bullfighting, her life is interesting. She died in Lisbon on Tuesday of a heart attack. According to Wikipedia, Orson Welles wrote in the introduction to her memoirs, "Her record stands as a rebuke to every man of us who has ever maintained that a woman must lose something of her femininity if she seeks to compete with men."

And I want a Geo Prizm. It's like the car everyone kid is supposed to get from their parents. I cannot explain the need for a car from the late 80s/early 90s.

Dontcha know?

I ended up feeling like massive death last night and this morning. I decided today was an excellent sick day. Last night, roomie and I watched Carrie and Scream. Carrie was lame. Which made me very sad, seeing as I have had it built up so much. Scream was a lot of fun. Watching a Halloween and Friday the 13th made it even better. Today we watched A Nightmare on Elm Street and Fargo. ANOES was not that good but Freddy Kreuger/Robert Englund was awesome. Fargo was alright but not my cup of tea.

Speaking of tea. I want tea and soup. I am hungry but the world is so far away and being vertical sucks.

Meanwhile, it is raining. I don't want to do anything.




ETA: Bring me food, wenches. I am hungry and walking to dining facilities is out of the question.

Joker no more

Last night was $1 burger night at Capitol Ale House. It was delicious. I got a Flying Dog' In Heat Wheat beer which was a hefeweizen. It was very good. And I got a brownie sundae which at the time was a good idea.

Alyssa, Em and I ended up claiming Combs 139 to watch Twilight. I had not seen it before. Now I have read all the books and enjoyed the first one the most. I thought the movie was very pretty and had small wonderful bits. Main problem for me was I was feeling near death. Aka red meat and dairy was not the best dinner choice.

I skipped class this morning because I still felt like death. I am falling asleep. I am thinking of possibly taking a nap. I have like 50 pages to read of North and South and two papers to work on. And I have to go out a do a quick Built Enviroment Survey for Lab.

But sleep...

2009-02-15 11:17 pm

His Name Was Jason.

So I should either be sleeping or working on papers. The working on papers is difficult because the comp hurts my eyes. The sleeping is going to happen very soon.

This weekend was great. Friday I got to see The Omen and Halloween for the first time. I sort of liked/enjoyed The Omen but I LOVED Halloween. Oh man did I love Halloween. For starters, it's the first of its kind which shows. Still. It was so good. Alyssa, Kate and I watched it in a academic building on the big screen and it was wonderful. Jamie Lee Curtis was so great. Michael Meyers scared the crap out of me a couple times. And the gore was pretty much non-existent.

Saturday was also WONDERFUL. Alyssa and I saw Friday the 13th in theaters. Jared was incredibly hot and the wardrobe department deserves massive amounts of kudos for the jeans he wore. Jared was great it in. Everyone else was pretty good for a horror flick. The dialogue was NOT horrible. It was actually pretty funny at points. Intentionally funny. Jason was not scary. Nope. A little sad about that seeing as the original freaked me out so much. SPOILERS HERE )

The evening was spent hanging out with A's brother, and Chris. Having to sit for Cheap Seats. AND FINALLY WATCHING POLTERGEIST. Which was in no way scary but I still loved it. I miss old Spielberg.

Today was leisurely. Lunch with Kate. Alyssa and I have been discussing True Lies quite a bit recently so I decided to finally just buy it. I totally recommend it to everyone. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Arnold, sleazy Bill Paxton, and tiny!Eliza Dushku. The movie has some great action bits and is really funny. I still have no idea how this movie was rated R. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Man, I want to be Jamie Lee Curtis from it. She is made of utter win.

On the horror movie thing: Yes, I am obsessed. I've been avoiding the horror genre for years. Now that I find I actually enjoy the films I MUST SEE THEM ALL. Sorry for anyone who gets in the way of it! I need something to keep me occupied during the Supernatural hiatus.

Meanwhile, having the My Bloody Valentine 3-D OST playing softly in the background is really funny. As in, oh crap eerie music.

The planning commission meeting went alright. I had to park in a vaguely sketchy area and was not quite sure where the chambers were. I had been there before when I was freshman for a ARB meeting.

The meeting went for about an hour and I ducked out to go check my mail. I got my refund check which was really exciting because I am near broke-hood. Not that I can spend said check. Due to the time of night, I drove around to Combs and ended up meeting Alyssa after class (this is 9 at night). I finally got all my library books dropped off. I deposited my check. Then victory MILKSHAKES!

I got a lot done this week and due to my packed Wednesdays, it feels like the end of the week. Nope still more to go.

Most of it is Bleak House.
