Nice long weekend... Nice long week... Got out of school for Tuesday and Wednesday because of snow, got out of class at UC Clermont on Wednesday because of V-day. Very lazy week.
Yesterday felt like sort of a waste. In the morning I was going to go to UC Clermont for an ASL Live Lab... Where a couple Deaf people come in and chat with students in the Beginning and Intermediate ASL classes. And in the evening Jessie and Elyssa were going to come over and we'd watch movies. But the Live Lab got canceled due to weather and the evening plans fell through too. But it was still a nice day.

It's going to suck to have to go back to school for real next week.

Y tengo que practicar con mis lenguas. Debo estudiar español por el examen AP, y debo estudiar esperanto para que pueda enseñarlo por mi proyecto grande del año, y mi hermanita me compró un libro del francés. Es interesante...pero...no! Debo practicar en español y esperanto y *no* el francés! Es una distracción.

De todas maneras, soy perezosa y hay mucho que hacer, pero yo preferiría hablar con mi novio y leer libros y oír música y surfear el internet. Es mucho más interesante que estudiar o trabajar.

ATHIEST MOM: There are two gay men fucking eachother in there.

[Voices |Radiohead - Fitter Happier]

Lullaby rock songs: Kinda weird, kinda cool. Using No Surprises as the sample song on that page is slightly creepy though. "I'll take a quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide, no alarms and no surprises please." That might just be me. Can you imagine being raised on that and then finding out what it's originally from?

Escher photoshopping: Purdy!

If you haven't heard about it yet, AOL released a bunch of their search records recently. (*is glad she doesn't use AOL*) If you're anything like me, and if you can put up with reading my ramblings chances are that you are at least a little, you've looked through your own search history from time to time. It can be interesting sometimes.
A few choice Google searches of mine, f'rinstance:
  • ""Exellent!" Holmes ejaculated."
  • "Ahsonnutli, the turquoise hermaphrodite"
  • "andrew jackson in dress"
  • A 7-foot tall man who has been smoking cigarettes since childhood
  • gusbus lyrics
  • quenya imperative

...interestingly enough, I can almost remember why I searched for all of those things.
Anyway, search histories are interesting in a nosy sort of way. Peek in on other people's lives and whatnot. The easiest way is Splunk'd.

This is taking up way too much of my free time. You just pick one of the other, which is better. It's sooo nerdy.
The top 10 best things ever, according to the people of the internet:
1. Members of the opposite sex who are hot AND smart AND want to sleep with you
2. Saying the perfect thing at the perfect moment, so that everyone laughs long and loud.
3. Finding out that that hideous accident/chemical spill/etc that should have killed you has instead imbued you with superpowers
4. Saying something witout thinking, and having it be the perfect thing to say
5. Finally learning telekinesis, like you always knew you could if you tried hard enough
6. The ability to light things on fire with your mind
7. Waking up next to the person you love
8. Meaningful late night conversations with that someone you desire
9. When you find out the girl (or guy) of the your dreams feels the same way about you.
10. Waking up in the morning realizing you’re perfectly comfy and being able to enjoy it for as long as you want

Tough decision: Which is better? The Oxford English Dictionary OR Secret hallways.

I do not want this summer to end, at all. It's not that the other summers I've felt like "YAY SCHOOL!" and it's not that I'm particularly dreading this school year, it's just other summers I have been so mind-crushingly bored and this summer I haven't. I've just been doing more, and keeping a semi-regular sleep schedule too (going to bed sometime after midnight, waking up whenever I can force myself out of bed, which is unfortunately usually some ten hours later).

I dunno.

Pop-up video! I loved this show.

TMBG - (She Was a) Hotel Detective. Awesome song + cartoon Johns! Arguably one of the more normal TMBG videos.

This is amazing and hilarious.
By the way, I had my first ever Cadbury Cream Egg the other day. It wasn't quite the be-all end-all that so many say it is, but it was good. I tried the regular and the caramel, and I liked the caramel better.

I don't know why you should care.

Here's a wonderful anecdote.

During my visit, another Acorn participant, Tim, blew into the room like a surprise guest on The Tonight Show. He was in a hurry to leave again, but asked me my birthday—July 15, 1970.

"Born on a Wednesday, eh?" he responded nonchalantly—and correctly.

"How did you do that?" I asked.

"I did it well," he replied.

"But how?" I asked.

"
Very well," he replied, with obvious pleasure. Then he was out the door and gone.

[Voices |They Might Be Giants - Damn Good Times]

Miscelany:

Today's Merriam-Webster word of the day email was obsequious. ^_^ I already knew that word - it's in the TMBG song "Turn Around". The email gave me some good insight though - the sequi part is from the Latin 'to follow' - whence sekvi, seguir, etc.

I have not given up on NaNo, per se - But I haven't written anything since Saturday. I haven't had any time. I'm going to put in 10 or 20 thou words during the break, hopefully, but I'm fairly sure I'm not going to actually finish. I'll wrap up the novel after the end of the month if it's convenient and post it. :]

I fell asleep at 7 last night, right after dinner. Seriously. This did let me manage to wake up a full hour early this morning, luckily, which gave me some time to do my Chemistry homework. This would be the first time I've finished my Chemistry homework on time since... ...ever.

Unfortunately counterracting this joyous event is the fact that I got a 69 (which is the very top point of the 'failing' level, for those of you with actually normal grading systems) on the last test. I tried hard, dammit.

The chart you gave me for trig functions is coming in handy, Warren. Our teacher gave us the same chart but it helped that I'd seen it before. =D

On Friday, Paula and I are going to Joseph-Beth to see her teacher's band play. Mwah. Mr. Howeverthefuckyouspellhisname is awesome, but I've never had him as a teacher. It's pronounced Reerden but I think it's spelled like Riordan or something.
I <3 bands that play in bookstores and libraries simply on principle anyway.

One reason to love YTMND: http://whatistmbg.ytmnd.com/
One reason to love mashups: http://dontletsstart.ytmnd.com/

I have no idea if anyone else likes mashups (I just know I do), but JC did one earlier and I <3 him for it. It sounds kinda rough, but I like it. Beatles 'When I'm 64'/Chicago '25 or 6 to 4' - http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2005/11/18/thing-a-week-10-when-im-25-or-64/

We're listening to Hakuna Matata and Esta Noche es para Amar in Spanish today! You may or may not remember me telling you that I burned El Rey León and La Bella y la Bestia onto CDs for Mr. Ammerman, but it's finally being followed up. Our class really likes singing [well, the front half of the class. The girls + one of the girls' boyfriend, basically] so it should be fun.

Today, being the last day before Thanksgiving weekend, should be fun. Should be. But it's not going to be. Our school started a new policy last year that every day before a break teachers had to have a graded assignment in class. So I've got 1 graded homework, 2 tests, 2 quizzes, and an essay. At the very least.

It's still going to be a fun day, if only for Spanish.

This makes my head hurt. It'd be a nifty thing for sure to use on phones (who would read a novel on their phone?), but ow. It goes too fast for me - blink and you miss the story. It's also the equivalent of ending. every. word. with. a. full. stop. to me.

But in the two minutes I could bear looking at that, I reamed a nice quote from it:

The difference between reading a story and studying a story is the difference between living the story and killing the story and looking at its guts.
