Self-Motivation

It's crazy how bad procrastination really is. Right now I should be working on my Social Studies War paper, but I really just don't feel like it. I mean, it isn't really due until Friday at noon, so I can ignore it for awhile still. But what's really pathetic, is that I've already done 99 percent of my research, so it's more of just sitting down and writing the darned thing, which I should really do BEFORE I leave tomorrow.

Instead, I'm writing on here. I still have class tonight. And a lecture series to attend. And some ED 431 homework that I need to do, that I normally put off until Thursday mornings and then have to hurry through.

Right. So I think I'm done lollygaging here on the computer and I'm going to hole up in Atwood somewhere with some food and do my readings for tomorrow's class. That way I can work on my paper in the morning and finish it up in Nodak if need be.

Bad Lisa

"Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa"

Since Lance always sings that to me now, this article has some fun personal meaning, but other-wise, it's just cool in a art history, Social Science sort of way.

Keith Premiere

Check out the new video before it premieres on the music channels!

AOL Music's First Look is featuring Keith's new video for "Once in a Lifetime."

Keith's new album Love, Pain, & the Whole Crazy Thing drops November 7th.

GG Premiere

Pizza and Gossip and Gilmores! I'm so excited and anxious at the same time. What with the new Gilmore Guy behind the scenes instead of Amy and Dan, but I have to keep faith.

The Long Morrow

The seventh-season opener picks with Lorelai in bed with Christopher the morning after her argument with Luke. Now she faces the reality of her impulsive act and her belief that the engagement is over. She spends time with Rory, who is puzzled by a mysterious gift that Logan left her.

Girl Next Door

I just heard Julie Roberts version of Saving Jane's Girl Next Door and I can't even put into words how weird it sounds. I can't decide if it's because it just seems so much more "angsty angry girl" with the slamming electric guitars, or if it's because Julie sounds like she's whining instead of venting. I'm not a big fan of Julie's. That's probably why I don't like it. I think the only Julie song that I'm a real fan of is that one with the "woke up wearing yesterday's makeup" line.

Does anyone know what song I'm talking about?

Gopher Girls

At the farm on Sunday, all of us garden ladies were working, none of the house ladies were on the schedule that day which was really fun for us (you know having run of the whole place for one *grin*).

Anyhow, I had to reset the gopher traps in the garden because those damned critters are in there digging in my herb bed. This was a new experience for me because I needed to learn how to set said traps.

Anyhow, on the way back up to the IC at the end of the day, Mary Lou taught me a song and the three of us (Me, Mary Lou, and Donna) sang it all the way up to the IC.

It goes like this:

We are the Gopher girls
because we Go-for guys
they never go-for us
we all ways go-for them
And when we go-for them
they always go-for home
We are the gopher girls
Please somebody go-for us!

Chosen Addiction

Well, I think I found us a band for Tim's Benifit. . .and the cool thing is that if they do play, me and my cousins can give shit and grill for the sake of one of my bestest friends. That makes up for everything if his band really sucks.

Monday Morning

I am tired. And lazy. And hungry. I have papers to write, pages to read, homework to do, clothes to wash, errands to run, and an apartment to clean. I'm going to sit on the couch, eat cheerios, read a novel, and pretend that 30 percent of my grade isn't due tomorrow.

Thursday isn't going to come soon enough this week. I can tell.

Eureka!

I had an epiphany about why I've been cranky, and snappish, and greasy, and eating badly, and acting like melodramatic diva bitch, during my pizza dinner it hit me in the gut, or rather much lower in the abdomen like in the uterus. Oh yes. That goes along with being insanely busy. You forget what time of the month it is.

Not that I'm one for passing the blame onto being one of the "weaker" female persuasion that begs out at this sort of thing and rails about how it is such a hindrance. Nope. I'm totally one for owning up to my actions. But at least it can help me explain what caused my inattentiveness and where the sudden urge to hurl myself to the ground and start wailing came from.

Wednesday Night Speicals

Here are the specials that would accompany RC Wednesdays with MP playing:

Wednesday
Smirnoff Night
Bottles of MGD and Miller Lite for $1.50
All Smirnoff Drinks for a $1.50

MP

McKinley Place is playing the Carpet again on Saturday night and I would love to go...I just don't know if I'll have the energy. Plus I'll have a visitor from "Up North" (Ha! Erin I can totally say that.) and I think we might wanna be a bit more low key.

Anna - I move we make wednesdays at RC mandatory! Now we just have to figure out the good drink specials...

Friends

I have wonderful friends, and I want to thank each and everyone of you for helping me out this week while I've been having a near colossal meltdown. After my workshop I attended today, I can only tell you that it's going to get worse.

New Catchphrase

"Let's put the frog on the table."

Victory! Well, At Least A Small One

Lori emailed me back about those volunteer hours.

(arms are being thrust into the air)

So once I schedule them, I'll be REALLY busy.

Tim's Benefit

So I finally printed off the flyers for Tim's benefit. Anybody got any ideas about where we could post some of these?

Anna's Secret Doppleganger!

Well, her name is actually Anna Doll, but it still cracked me up.

The VP

I'm so sick of people telling me that everything is fine and that me doing my crazy frantic headless chicken routine is okay because they're there to pick up the slack and everyone is going nuts right now, and then turns around and starts complaining to everyone about me. I'm not a fucking magician. I can't do everything. I'm sorry I'm not on call twenty-four hours a day to do your bidding but I've got this little conflict with something I like to pretend is a life. I really don't give a shit about what you are juggling, I'm trying to keep my own head above water right now and your bullshit doesn't really help with that now does it?

Mormen?

How bad is it that I had to check Utah's tourism site to make sure I spelled Mormon right?

How I Met The Mormons

So I was heading over to the public library to get some of my books on hold when I got hailed by these two guys on the street. They said, "Hi!' and yadda yadda yadda.

Anyhow. They were these two guys for the Mormon church walking around and trying to proseltize their religion. They of course wanted to know if I was religious and stuff. Then proceeded to relate to me how Mormons really respect Martin Luther.

I, of course, at some point am going to have to teach developing minds about the worlds religions so I stopped for a bit of a "getting to know Mormonism" session. Then I found out I know a shocking amount of information about the Church of Latter Day Saints. When he asked if I knew that their church was founded here in the U.S. and I said yes, you could totally tell that he was trying to fastforward his script to his next selling point.

Then after the religious discussion was over they made cracks about my footwear. Apparently Minnesota weather is too changeable for a couple of Idaho (Idahoians? Idahoees? Idahoanites?) natives.
