Inspired by bookishy's recent post, I spent my morning at work brainstorming about my top 3 guilty pleasures movies. Seriously, y'all: I want to run out and buy all of these right now, and then spend the day marathoning them.

( Hocus Pocus )

( The Faculty )

( A League of Their Own )

Yeah, that's it. What, you wanted actual content?

Tomorrow I'm going into New York for a long-delayed informational interview, for which I have done zero research and written zero questions. Brilliant. I also just had to send an email begging to push our meeting back half an hour, because I am a dumbass who schedules things too tightly and leaves no time for getting from meeting A to meeting B.

Also -- not entirely my fault -- I thought meeting A was an hour earlier than it actually is, because when someone says "Let's meet at lunch" I assume they mean 12, not 1pm. Whoops.

So of course, I spent the past 20 minutes doing a meme. Because I have priorities in life.

The oldie-but-goodie: Soundtrack of My Life: The Movie Meme
Review the rules:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...

( No danger of coolness here. Good laughs, though. )

I'm sort of writing a paper about the Beatles and Bob Dylan...but I'm on a break, and checking PostSecret. Today kind of sucked, but this is my new favorite postcard, and things look a little brighter.

Hope for humanity and all, y'know. Amazing how it changes your outlook.

Unrelated to that: ( Google images meme )

January: Happy New Year -- it's a little late, but there it is.
February: 1. DOOR TO MY ROOM @ 2 AM: *click* ME (OUTSIDE THE DOOR @ 2 AM): Wait, where are my keys...?
March: Curses! I missed my bus by two minutes, max.
April: For once, I'm being serious: the past two days of reading have been utterly wonderful and downright exciting.
May: apparently i can fall asleep sitting up, continue typing, and have it actually make some sense.
June: Seeing as even banannagoats has rejoined the world of the living LJ, I suppose it's time for an update.
July: What I did on my lunch break: I read the NYTimes.
August: I'm home, and it's great.
September: Happy convocation day, MoHos and Smithies!
October: Soooo missing England right now.
November: Even though I'm starting this project far too late at night (it's okay! it's not due 'til Thursday!), I am so, so excited: I get to start my thesis outline.
December: Bloody hell, how's it December?

In other news, our Suzuki demonstration/performance went really, really well. Thanks to everybody who came! But of course, the most exciting thing is that we don't have class tomorrow. :D (But we do have it Friday. Boo.) This means that I have 7 classes left this semester...and two papers...and I'm leaving for OH on the 19th, so I should get on those. Hmm.

The rules:
1. Open a music player.
2. Go to 'all music'/'library'.
3. Hit shuffle.
4. Find photos of the first 10 artists/bands that come up [no repeats and no cheating].
5. Have people guess who the artists/bands are. [not actually necessary; I just like playing w/ Google and Photobucket]

[Now with answers!]

On the orders of perseph12:

List 5 reasons you are a dork. And make them good reasons. Justify them. Explain them. Be loud and proud of how big a dork you are! Then pick the 5 biggest dorks you know and have them do the meme.

( I only get five reasons? )

Anybody on the flist who wants to, go for it; for starters, I'll poke

This weekend is a total bust, academically; socially, I'd give it 50% (see subject).

I did get to see a lot of plays, which was fun. Arcadia at Smith was pretty good -- not fantastic, as there were some major problems, but good overall -- and it was great to finally see something in the Valley not at UMass. Incidentally, the UMass production of Angels in America: Part One? Not so good. Draggy pace, weak ensemble, bad crowd energy Thursday night...'tis a pity.

EDIT: *pokes LJ* Can anyone explain why the timestamp on my comments is approximately four hours ahead of "real time"? Now that I've noticed it, that's going to drive me insane.

I was just planning to bitch about the musical, but it really doesn't matter, because today was really great.

I feel sad, because Sarah and Britney are complete bitches. They told everyone I have an STD, just because I slept with both of their boyfriends on Saturday night.

Last night I had to finish my term paper on the history of pre-communist Russian society. I focussed on the needs of women. I think it's ok, but if I don't pass this I'll lose my scholarship.

Today, I got a digital camera! Yes! Here's ten thousand photographs of my cat.

You should all do this quiz! It's amazingly accurate. You just put in your name and birthday, and it will tell you next week's lottery numbers.

That's enough for now. But I'll leave you with this thought - sharing your life with strangers on the internet is the cheapest form of therapy available. Leave a comment and tell me I'm beautiful.
