she & him
i heard about She & Him a while ago, and while it thought it was interesting and interesting pairing, it didn’t make it on to my ‘must-have’ list. now, after having listened to the ‘Volume One’ album in full, i am in LOVE. Zooey Deschanel’s voice, as previously heard in the holiday movie Elf and on a few tracks on the Coconut Records (Jason Schwartzman)...

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland ”You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like...

someone is in my hallway playing ‘house of the rising sun’ on an acoustic guitar, sung (practically screamed) in french. i would enjoy this if i weren’t working on a paper. that said, this is my last tumbl of 2007. i’m off to have many adventures-happy new year everyone! see you in ‘08!

this is horrible, but i couldn’t help but laugh when i read it. my favorite part: ‘samauri sword, baseball bat and machete recovered from red car abandoned outside our gate’.
fitness is fun!
one of the pitfalls of having a full-length mirror in my room is that i can’t avoid seeing how ridiculous i look when i’m dancing. dancing is my cardio, so i can’t really avoid it. i don’t mind dancing in public, because i don’t actually see myself, but this is just too embarrassing. and i’m kicking up my exercise routine as a new year’s resolution, so...
i had a dream last night that my friends left me on the side of the highway with only the clothes on my back. and i was barefoot. and there’s lots of glass on the side of a highway. and there were quite a few other people that seemed to be in similar predicaments, but at least one of them was a lunatic that was pretending to have been abandoned… i could just tell. i wonder what that...
next week is our last week of class. this makes me so very happy. however, i have a paper to write, and i haven’t realy started on it. this isn’t unusual, and i feel that i do my best work during that final crunch time, but sometimes i wish i could bring myself to just do things like this just to have them over with so i can enjoy life without that little voice in my head saying...
bedtime followup
and as a followup to #4d of my most recent blog, i decided this when i realized, in the fleeting moments that i regarded my classmates during my part of the presentation, that i could feel them thinking that i was super cute. not because i’m actually cute, but because i’m foreign- and on my walk home, it became clear to me that i must use this to my advantage. and indeed i will.

i had a small part in a presentation in one of my classes today. i was extremely nervous so i had a few pronunciation snafoos and i fidgeted… and i ran through my part in record time as well. when we were done, the professor had a few question & criticisms but none of them seemed to pertain to me or my part, so i suppose it went well. my stomach is still completely twisted and i’m...
sunday morning
i hate sunday because tomorrow is monday. i’ve always hated sunday. this particular sunday morning i feel gloomy. i think it’s because i want to exercise but i’m supposed to give my pulled ribcage muscle a rest, which means no running in place, no jumping jacks and no dancing, which is how i exercise. in 2 weeks i’ll be in London, so i suppose i should focus on that.

this video makes me laugh. therefore i shall share it. now go forth and become a happy cabbage!
ohhhh boy… still have that pulled ribcage muscle, which caused me to sleep terribly. pulled a muscle in my arm while sleeping, and in my dreamy stupor became convinced that i’d been bitten by a poisonous spider and waited for the violent vomiting to ensue before i’d seek medical assistance. and now i have a horrendous headache… and i missed going to the marché. things must...
i just rode the metro across from a guy with the biggest adam’s apple i have ever seen. he was cute. we had the sly eye contact thing going on. and then he hit my new friend in the glasses with his elbow. he slinked off in shame. and that’s my life.
alas, if my big toe has any say in the matter, there are no red wooden shoes in my future. c’est la vie, right?
is it wrong to be this excited about lunch?
