LOOK! OVER IN THAT RECLINER!

( +4 )

• The Spectre(above)'s expression is exactly me when thinking about my homework I need to do
• Suicide Squad is so fun though and I can't stop reading...
• Except I need to get some stuff done, ssso...
• No more fun things for me until I can (a) finish my geography maps and (b) write up my dumb movie review for comm.
• And maybe (c) set up my article since I'm always screaming about articles (ONLY ONE MORE AFTER THIS) 8|

For some reason, this shirt+hat always makes me feel confident and more adult than most anything else I wear or have worn.

Today, I...
• changed the litter, only to find we didn't have too much left (Nieva's going to have to pucker a bit until tomorrow's grocery trip I guess)
• was caught by two trains on the same track (I bet it was the same train both times actually)
• got a variant cover of Emerald Warriors #1 for regular price! the folks at Ben's are seriously too awesome to me (they even said they'll get me into the next Novi con for free as a store employee if I want)
• went bike riding through Willow which proved to be too much for my knees/thighs on the gentle inclines, sobs (the 91º heat+humidity didn't help)
• slammed my toe against a stick and blood exploded everywhere BUT IT'S LIKE THE TINIEST LITTLE SCRAPE yet blood oozed all over my sandal??
• took pictures of my pets which i will share now--


( belle and nieva )



I have a bunch of stuff in my sketchbook I should scan tonight to make up for the shit quality of my art postings. Sorry about that. :[

Oogh. I'm redefining the notion of being "worried sick".

• I think my body's telling me that dinner every day is a requirement, because...ghnnvhg. This morning is rough. Hopefully I start to feel up to snuff in a couple hours, because I'd rather not have to call off work. You only get so many hours, and minimum wage is minimum enough, y'know? I think I better start nosing around for a second job (I typo'd that dog; dangit mom and Belle stop distracting me). By the time August hits, something should open up with all the baby college kids dropping hours to focus on their shiny, new studies. I don't think I can go another winter season without income, not with the way it affected my savings this past summer.

• Mom and Dad are back from Tennessee. They brought me back sommore things for my 'holy bling', as it were--I have a silver chain loaded with medals and collected things. They got me a colored cross (turquoise on one side, red on the other) and a new medal of St. Lucy that's different than the one I already have. It has the Sacred Heart on the back, too, so it's double nice. I'd like to hope that the weight of all these things and the jingle as I move and walk will remind me of important things, especially when I'm feeling extra petty or cranky.

• Riverfest tickets. Livenation is selling fourpacks for 93 dollars. I want I want I want. I want. Avett Brothers, Justin Nozuka, and One Eskimo for 93 dollars. I'm trying to convince the parents to take advantage of this and make it our ~mini family vacation~ since I. Don't have a lot of friends in close proximity for things like this. Unless a few of y'all would like to suddenly be up in Michigan and rock out with me for a night--this would be acceptable.

• Speaking of eventful Saturdays, if I can get one off in the near future (curse you, Jim--stop plotting my entire month of work ahead of me!), the fam and I will take the long and farm-filled journey to Carey, Ohio and attend a mass at the basilica. And this time we'll actually find it, not like...that little adventure last year that some may recall. Oh, Ohio. :|

• Aaa, I am starting to feel better now. Good.

• There's footage of the tornado and damage from the storm days previously. You can see my Uncle Bob's yard at :40 in the first clip! I recognize the other neighbor's shed. LMAO OH MY GOD MY GRADE/HIGHSCHOOL CLASSMATE FRANK AT 1:40 IN THE SECOND CLIP. He lives a few houses down lmaoooo FRANK UR ON THE TV INTERNETS. Dad: "BUT WHERE'S HIS PARROT SHIRT?"
Our little town making little headlines on our little corner of the world, teehee.

• Haha, now I'm feeling a lot better.

Ah, yeah, I got some questions from the resident sentienttoaster that I can put in here, too, because surely you're not sick of reading this post already! ( but we'll hide it just in case )



And now it's music tiiiime DOUBLE MUSIC I FORGOT YESTERDAY ( lalala )



I hope everyone has a good day today.
AND I WANT TIMELY NOTIFS BACK 8'[

Every day is its own little rollercoaster, I guess! Or at least today.

(-) woke up later than I would've wanted, due to staying up later than I really should've
(-) didn't get a chance to shower until like 11 and that was annoying!
(+) 275's clear of construction north of 94 so I got to blaze on up that way to Scraft
(-) Mehall wasn't in his office :[
(+) but he WILL BE Thursday! Convenience!
(+) consolation prize: bought a copy of Clash of Kings 8)
(-) rassum frassum MORE CONSTRUCTION ON THE BACKGROADS why can I not have a direction home that's not littered with barrels and dumptrucks
(+++++) got a call during my detour that I'll be having an interview for a BCBSMI internship (NOTE TO SELF: Donna Juarez, 11:30)
(+) Mr. Adler gave me enough info that I can still call like WCCC for some infos on what's goin' on with this film industry stuff here in the state
(-) transitional weather is really brutal on my arthritis
(+) but the redbuds are showing their color already and it's really pretty driving through the park and seeing the purple lining the trees
(-) I just realized I haven't done my application paper due tomorrow aw hell
(+) tomorrow is my last day in religion class and it's the Buddhism test and I hope I can make it werk
(+) NO MEDIA CLASS TOMORROW AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

I still can't even wrap my head around the fact that like. The last week is next week??/? Uhhh where have I been.
Oh well.

I HAD A PRETTY EXCELLENT AFTERNOON/EVENING.

• Cleaned
• Passion Sunday mass; cute kids, good confession, etc
• APPLEBEE'S HONEY BBQ WINGS AAAAAAAA*salivates
• Magazines for my application
• NEW HAIR COLOR *hairswish all over fl
• I'm listening to Boys II Men with no regrets.

STUFF. I'M IN A RACE TO POST THIS BEFORE MIDNIGHT *ZOOMS

• I bought a new purse instead of a kung fu movie because the colors were snappy and my Mickey Mouse bag's on its last legs. I now have a coin purse that I don't know what to do with cause it's got a keyring. Stuck it to the handle. May use it for Post-It notes.

• FINISHED MY ARTICLE kinda. I should re-reread it and strike out any notion of subjectivity if I can find it. ATTRIBUTE EVERYTHING, WRITE AT AN 8TH GRADE LEVEL, BLAH BLAH BLAH I HATE WRITING THE NEWS IT'S AS BORING AS READING IT. Waiting to hear back from the teacher (I swear I shit you not I just typo'd that "teature") about an attribution problem. Cause I...don't have the style guide. $60 bucks, no thanks. Let's see how far I can get in class without it.

• Filled with self-loathing on the art side but when is this news?!

• New blinds! DAYLIGHT IN MY ROOM! This brings me great joy.

• Considered getting a Twitter. Realized it'd be shitty and stupid as the site is oftentimes that. But the superhero stuff is funny. :(

• Church time is now and then dinner at a mysterious location. My bets are Applebee's cause my parents are being silly and secretive about it. I asked if it had anything to do with delicious chocolate desserts I can't have and they said "well it'll just bring you closer to God". Has to be Applebee's.

• FERGALICIOUS IS STUCK IN MY HEAD AHHH

Amazing things happen when you pay attention to the stupid student email account on Blackboard that I ignore. Like knowing about a due bill weeks prior, aaaand finding out there's no Gencomm class today! /o/ Which means I will be done by three today, which is fan-freakin'-tastic and will probably come as a relief, as my first Religion Studies test is today. And I have...no idea what the format will be like, so that will no doubt be a bit stressful!!!

Other things to note...
• I cannot go a day without that 2009 United States of Pop mashup by DJ Earworm song stuck in my head...
• ...Due to the fact that a certain radio station I have on my presets in Steven Seagull plays it almost every time I click on it.
• Either that or Bad Romance. I swear that's like the only two songs they play.
• I also heard No Scrubs on the radio for the first time in...fff. Years. Oh, 90's hip-hop pop jams, how I love thee.
• It's 16ºF outside. 8| With the sun shining and everything. Sob.
• Big Love's new season is like my parents' crack, and I'm slowly paying attention to it, too. Last night we watched the latest episode we recorded, and it features two fellows so ~conflicted in love~ while being Mormon and they started macking and my dad's like "FFFF JEEZ" and squirming all uncomfortable-like. So he grabs the cat squirt bottle and shoots the tv screen until the scene changed. Lolol.
• Fuck you, phone. I'm not picking you up you are probably HBSC.
• ....I guess I better get it.
• Just kidding it stopped ringing.
• Time to brave the cold and get gas before class. I rhymed because that's what I do. Like Kanye. :V

•There is now a light at the end of this loan panic tunnel. If my folks can give me a hand finding some tax forms I can prove I am a brokeass, out-of-school, out-of-work failure and skirt away without payment until my student status is confirmed. /o/ Thank you, nelnet, for giving me a speaker on the phone who I could understand. I hate the stereotype, but I cannot get anything done with an operator I can't understand I just can't. 8|

•Oh yes sibling please do use the shower after I just cleaned it.
Nah it's fine it's almost 1 anyway it's good.

•Daddy says he will go see Avatar with me. Does this please you, Mr. Cameron? Now stop bombarding me with advertisements and behind the scenes things every single second of my life. THE MORE YOU HYPE THE HIGHER THE HOPES THE MORE DISAPPOINTED I'LL BE AT THE SHOW.

•Yaaaaay Russell won So You Think You Can Dance YEAH I WATCH THIS SHOW WHAT OF IT. Looks like his knee wasn't as banged up as first thought if he's gonna bounce around like that. At least that means he can still do the roadshow. 8|a

•I KICKED THAT SORE THROAT'S ASS GUYS. 800 gallons of orange juice + a shot of Dimeatapp = me scratchy-throat-free! Now I just gotta get this leaky nose under control so the drip doesn't bring the problem back.

•Portions of ye I have addresses for may be getting cards late, as I underestimated the length of my mailing list! But Christmas doesn't technically end until the Epiphany so it's not tacky SO THERE.

•No new comics this week. :( I must conserve gas useage as much as possible. THE NEW GLC ISSUE YOU GUYS. TOAST. TEAL. WHERE ARE YOU I'M SCREAMING.

•I never end a list on an odd number.


( this is a drawing )

• Finished Life, the Universe, and Everything--liked how it wrapped up. Silly. Not as fun as the first book, but wahey.
• Started So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish. Would be enjoying it more had I not been slowly going insane on the last hour of my shift.
• Might as well try finishing Catch-22 again huh. 8|
• I SHOULD HAVE MORE TO TALK ABOUT IF I'M GOING TO MAKE A BULLET POINT LIST...


I'm feeling so creatively dead ughh everything I produce feels like garbage to me but ( I'M THROWING THEM UP HERE ANYWAY )

Looks like Football Jesus isn't going to help Notre Dame out of town, uhuhu. Watching Michigan games always makes me think of that Onion article about the U of M building a stadium to house the entire population of the state. They'd do it if they could, but there'd be nowhere to park.
