Robbie Robbie Robbie
03.30.03
I complained earlier that Robbie Williams' newest CD is being released in the US after I spent extra money buying the import, but it looks like I'm okay in the end. The US version has two songs missing from it. I know this is time to be patriotic and all, but, as you've heard me complain before, Americans have a really horrid idea of what good music is.
Anyways, if you hear any "boing"ing sounds over the next few weeks, it's me being excited while I play the newest Zelda game that just came out. Or you can use your imagination and turn it into something dirty. That's always fun.

Ye stupid protesters
03.27.03
Dear happy, peace, and flowers war protesters:
Please stop hacking our server and putting "Bush is evil and gay" signs on my page. Bush's sexual orientation has nothing to do with this war, and if you dare to insult someone by suggesting that they're gay again, I will personally punch you in the face, you moronic homophobe. How do you really expect to win people over to your side when you're hacking their pages and signing your work, "Love from Malaysia!"? You hack my page and sign it with love? Why don't you go lay down in the middle of a busy street?
That wasn't an insult, because others of your ilk are doing so too. Really, the way to win support from people is not laying down on 5th Avenue in NYC in the middle of busy traffic. If I were a cab driver there, I would have run over all of you. And it's not just NYC where you're playing your annoying games, it's all over the country. Here's my tip: STAY OUT OF THE STREETS. I'm sure that even other anti-war protesters will run you over if you happen to catch them when they're five minutes late to work and have to drive through where you're standing.
As for people who call Bush a tyrant while Saddam is busy executing POWs...yay Americans. We really do need to funnel more money back into the education system.

Kaboom
03.25.03
I had a dream about a hamster that was solid red with black ears last night. This is the second dream about hamsters I've had this week, I'm taking it as a sign that I miss mine. I'm going home this weekend to get them, along with the neverending supply of puppy chow my sister made a while back. Puppy chow as in the Chex and chocolate stuff, not dog food. And since I'm sure my sister is reading this, there will be absolutely NO picking fights with me this weekend, and NO grabbing my boobs. Yes, my fifteen-year-old sister's favorite way to torture me is to run at me and grab my breasts as hard as she can. Feel free to leave a comment to make fun of her for that.
The red hamster was pretty damn cool, I wonder if I can dye mine with Kool-Aid. I'm kidding...sort of...
Tonight's episode of Buffy finishes taping in 10 minutes, I'm debating if I should watch it. After tonight's, there are five episodes left. Ever. No more Buffy after that. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle this. Someone better be prepared to hold me while I sob and scream. Life without Buffy is, well, Kaboom.

Bush bashers
03.24.03
What is up with people who won Oscars last night using their acceptance speeches to bash Bush and the war? Do I really care what the winner of the Best Documentary thinks about the war? You didn't get the award because you're an expert on politics, you got it because you made a nifty documentary movie. About Columbine and guns, I might point out, not about Iraq and weapons of mass destruction. Repeat after me: "I thank you for giving me this award. I will not open my liberal mouth and say things that make me look foolish." Now go sit down. Thank you.

Swell, isn't it?
03.22.03
I just saw Chicago for the second time, damn is that a good movie. I always have to resist the urge to start dancing in the parking lot. Melantha says I shouldn't resist and just dance, with hand motions and all. This might be a sign that I should start taking classes again. Ballet was a boring, necessary evil, but jazz was so much fun. It'd be nice to be stretchy again, it's pathetic that I can't lift my leg over my head anymore.
And to prove that I'm a ditz: I was reading the headline "U.S. bombing rips dawn silence in Baghdad," and I mused to myself, "Dawn? It's midnight." Yes, yes, I quickly remembered that Baghdad is on the other side of the world in a different time zone, but I figured I'd give you all something to laugh at.
It's good, isn't it? Grand, isn't it? Great, isn't it? Swell, isn't it? Fun, isn't it? Nowadays...

I dream in 8-bit
03.20.03
You really do dream about what you thought about before falling asleep. After spending the last hour before bedtime reading 8-Bit Theater, I actually dreamed about 8-bit sprites. (For those who don't know, the original Nintendo was an 8-bit machine). I'm not a freak, I swear.
If you're a video game fan (or more specifically, an RPG fan who appreciates the original FF games), check out the comics. As Mr. Dot put it, "This guy is good." I nearly fell off my chair laughing many times while reading them.
And speaking of FF games, I just read a review of FFX-2 on Gamespot. All I can say is if it's not out over here soon, I'm devoting my entire life to learning Japanese so I can play the import. Or maybe I can just start violently throwing things. That's always fun.

Clothing fetishes
03.20.03
Poor, poor Shannon:
SlayTPG1: How was work?
luckycorvettegrl: disturbing
SlayTPG1: Disturbing?? Why?
luckycorvettegrl: I'm cool with putting makeup on guys
luckycorvettegrl: but when they want to come into work to try on the clothes, that's another thing
luckycorvettegrl: especially if they don't even look the part of drag- remotely
SlayTPG1: Oh dear
SlayTPG1: Do you even have sizes for them?
luckycorvettegrl: I mean, I SERIOUSLY think that this guy got some sort of sexual gratification out of trying on the clothes
luckycorvettegrl: He fit into a 12.
And I might go work with her this summer. Hmmm.

Kicking scholastic butt
03.19.03
This has been a week of getting back exams, and luckily I've been doing pretty well. I got a 94 on the serial killer exam, a 61 out of 56 on my interview/observation exam (I love extra credit), a 98 on the crime prevention exam, and a 97 on a serial killer paper. I'm waiting to get two other papers back, which should be A's. I mean, come on, how could you NOT give me an A? My philosophy prof did, actually. Blast him. It was a take home exam that had about 7 essay questions on it. The only thing he wrote on it was "B". No comments, no explanation of why it was a B and how I can improve in the future. I hate it when teachers do that.
I have to finish studying for a quiz tomorrow, and all I REALLY want to do is play video games. I bought Xenosaga the other day and it's calling my name.
Also, It's been raining and my hair has been a frizzy mess since Monday, someone make it stop?

Weakling
03.18.03
Today I bought a bottle of water from a vending machine in Olscamp Hall on my way to class. Ten minutes later, I still had not managed to open the goddamn bottle. The inside of my hand is red and raw from twisting and twisting and not getting anywhere with it. Right now, two hours after purchasing it, I am violently slamming it against my desk in hopes of breaking the seal, but it's not working. Who the hell do they make these things for, Superman?

God bless my luck
03.17.03
While I was in LA, I saw a pair of pants from Express in a magazine and fell in love with them. When I went to Express yesterday, not only did they actually have them in, but they had them in my size in the color I wanted AND they were on sale. This kind of stuff never happens to me. It's a good start to what's looking to be a good week.

Back in town
03.16.03
Alas, I have returned from the sunshine and thrills of Los Angeles and now have to wear a coat again. It's actually not too bad here, but I'd rather be frolicking around in a tanktop and skirt again. Well, I didn't exactly frolick, the kinds of shoes I wear don't allow for that.
Other than 4 hours of airplane delays and an exploding bottle of shampoo in my suitcase, the trip was very relaxing and lots of fun. My uncle did a makeover segment on The Other Half on NBC; it'll be on Tuesday the 18th, so watch for him. He's promoting his salon.
In frustrating news, after I spent all that money to get Robbie William's newest CD, which wasn't supposed to ever be released in the US, it's now coming out here next month and is available for less than 10 bucks on Amazon. Oh well. I'd spend every penny in the world to have his sinfully delicious body.

Adios for now
03.07.03
This is my last post before I head off to sunny LA for spring break, so my loyal readers can take a break from my daily bitchings and rantings. I will be shopping on Rodeo and Melrose and basking in the sun while all of you lowly peons go about your normal lives.
I'm kidding about the peon part. Really.
Shannon doesn't know it yet, but I'm knocking her out and putting her in my suitcase, since she won't skip a week of classes and work to go with me. Really hon, shopping and sun-basking would be so much more fun with you there, but I guess that's why you're moving there with me in the future.
So everyone who's experiencing cold weather right now, just close your eyes and remember that it's 70 degrees where I'm going to be. Adios.

Dear stupid people:
03.04.03
Dear Satan worshippers:
When you commit mass murders and leave your sign written in your victims' blood on the walls, please be sure to turn the pentacle all the way upside down. Otherwise, not only do you look stupid, but you also lead people to believe that Satanists use a pentacle for their symbol, rather than the inverted one.
Dear people who want marijuana to be legalized:
Please realize that there is a difference between decriminalizing marijuana and legalizing marijuana. Decriminalizing it will not make it legal. Legalizing it will make it legal, hence the name. You look as stupid as the Satanists using the pentacle when you write in chalk on the campus sidewalks: "Decriminalize marijuana, make it legal!"

Yummy Girl Scouts
03.02.03
I love Girl Scouts. They came to the sorority house today to sell their cookies, and I bought three boxes of them. Nothing tastes better than a Thin Mint. Except for two Thin Mints.
Did anyone catch the Baywatch Hawaii Reunion special? My roommate and I watched it, it was the most gratuitious piece of crap ever. There were so many butt/crotch/chest shots of actresses in skimpy swimsuits. And what is up with reconstructive facial surgery being a viable option in soap operas? They use it all the time, I swear.
I'm currently writing a paper on a book about Jack the Ripper. One of the required topics we have to cover is the trial and sentencing. Pray tell how that's possible when the offender was never captured. Blah. The good news is I've written 8 pages, and it can't be any longer than 10. This means that all I have to do is fill in some fluff and then say, "Oh no, I can't write anymore, because then I'll go over the page limit. I MUST be finished then!"

Girls Night Out
03.01.03
So I had a fabulous night out with my roomie and my little, even thought the movie (How to Lose A Guy In 10 Days) sucked. (That's right, Joe and Shannon, you heard me. SUCKED.) Die chick flicks, die! Damn predictable and cheesy pieces of fluff. Blech.
We went to eat around one in the morning at a campus pizza place, and there was this table full of freshman boys who sent us drinks. Or more specifically, water. That's right. The boys sent us water. Then they wanted to know how much our pizza was, so they could pay for it. When we told them it was probably ten bucks, they said we were too expensive. *hmpf* They wanted to know if I was a freshman, and I was like, "I'm a JUNIOR!" At the end of my second year, but a junior nonetheless.
