Well, well, well. If the rumor is true, then a bunch of librarians are going to be getting trashed at The Tiki Room at the end of the semester. Now that, my friends, is something I am OK with.

In othe news- I am excited, as I have a Hot Date tonight.

Oh, and I rented a MINI car for holiday-time driving!! Now I can have secret spy adventures and careen down the highway while listening to German techno music.

Whew. So tonight's been happening. Or, um, sort of happening.
After work I shuffled my ass over to Simmons to print out articles for my paper (due tomorrow). I intended to write the paper there, but just couldn't deal with being there, and I saw that I could catch the bus to Central Sq. if I left exactly then. So that's what I did (The #47 is Awesome! Simmons to Central in 20 minutes in rush-hour-ish traffic). So then I did what any card-carrying slacker would do- I looked at the clock, figured since it was only 6:30 I could stop in at John Harvard's for a couple of beers while I read the articles I had printed. So that's exactly what I did. And just as I finished reading and was organizing my crap the guy next to me swooped in for the hit. Heh. I'm so out of the loop of being hit on now, it's kinda nice to realize I've still got "it," but I bolted down the rest of my beer quickly, and noticed another guy next to guy #1 smirk when I said "I've got to go write a paper now." I then almost immediately ran into old co-worker skilletfriar, and met some uber-smart physics guy from Harvard who apparantly knows Crazy Russian Ex-CoWorker and said other co-worker. Then I actually did come home to write my paper, which is done and done. So there.
Did I mention how awesome komos is for letting me make me home-brewed Pabst in his kitchen this weekend? So Awesome!! Mmmmmmmmmm...Pabst. It'll be Great. And ready for consuming sometime mid-Novemeber. Well, it'll probably taste like ass, but I made it!
Ok, now I'm totally getting excited for Halloweeny fun, yaaay! Gotta watch the Fluffypuff Marshmallow commercial again. stack 'em to the heavens! stack 'em to the heavens!

Curses! My plan to watch High Fidelity while writing my paper has been foiled by Simmons' ultimate suck-itude. Not able to access databases at home, I am now sitting in the library. Rawr. At least I'll get it done faster with nothing to distract me.

Belly's Stay is the perfect song for wandering around downtown aimlessly on a nice day like today.
I'm feeling pensive and stuff, so I'll cut this to spare ya

Come on, paper! I've got 8 pages to write tonight. Left work at 2 to get a bit of a start on it. So far I've got jumbled notes/outliney stuff and 2 sentences. But my opening 2 lines are goooood, I figure if I can knock him out with the first page then maybe he'll forgive my sliding into vagueness later. Check it out: "The social and economic conditions during the past two decades, especially the 1990s, have been ripe for major paradigm shifts in the corporate world. Knowledge management, in its varied and oft ambiguous forms, has been at the forefront of the technology and globalization revolutions." Not bad, eh? Well, it's summer and I fear I have not 8 pages of stuff to say about "knowledge management."

Grades are all in, this is how it all shakes out:
A- Telecommunications & Networking
B Cataloging

Not too shabby.

Note to self: If you let someone draw on you with a Sharpie, it will remain on you longer than you think. ;)

This weekend started fairly crappy, but ended well. It feels like I've been on weekend since Wednesday, since Wed. was drinkin' night as usual. That was fun, though, and not crappy.
Thursday I traipsed out the Skybar (which is in the sketchiest part of Somerville), but it was a good time. Ended up staying out much later than I had anticipated.
Friday, well eye_abstains summed up Friday night pretty well.
I don't usually get my panties in a bunch about little things going wrong, but Murphey's Law was well in place for us.
I've also decided that most porn is just not sexy. I've never seen a sexy porn, but I suppose it could exist somewhere, so I won't totally knock it.
Saturday I went home and worked out in the early afternoonk, which made me feel a lot better. Endorphins are fun.
My brother showed up, we had some surprisingly good talks. It was good to see the kid. Then the show, but I already wrote about that.
Yesterday I spent the entirety of the gorgeous afternoon in the movie theater. I had made plans with Rachel to see something this weekend, and couldn't find the time to see one before yesterday. I had also made plans with I.A. to see Identity, which I really wanted to see, so I didn't want to
skip on that either. It was nice, though. After a week of being out every night but Tuesday (and that was a class night), it was good to relax.
Tenille, Rachel and I saw Better Luck Tomorrow, which was very well done but ended up being pretty depressing. I would recommend it, though.
So that's that.
It's only 10:30, but I have already convinced the Tenille that we need to leave class at the break halfway through. Dewey Decimal System be damned!
It's gonna be a good day.

i am profoundly bored. or at least i think i am, since i am Antsy. antsy, antsy. i feel like Tweek on South Park. my job is boring, classes are boring. i feel like i need a change of scenery. this could just be that the weather is gorgeous and there are like 5 million places i'd rather be than here and then in class later.
well, as for change of scenery, at least tenille and i are popping up to L-town for the day on saturday (and freeport...mmmm...bargain shoes) i need to see something other than boston! Gah!
alright, enough of the complaining. it's beautiful outside. instead of studying for the exam that promises to kick my ass tonight i took a walk down to the square (i did study last night...during my other class. also completed a fun, fun crossword puzzle. i've given up listening altogether in that one). so, tonight my ass will be kicked (metaphorically). tomorrow night my ass will be dancing (literally). good, good.

now, a question for boston ladies: can anyone recommend a good place to get a haircut? i haven't liked the results from the last couple of places i've tried, and desperately need to find someplace, as my hair is outta control.

since moving in september, i've had such insomnia. this is especially odd seeing as i have a bad habit of falling asleep during some portion of any movie i go to see. and on the T. so why is it that when i crawl into my comfy bed at an hour at which it's reasonable to expect to be tired, i can't sleep? since i didn't actually fall asleep last night until 4:30-5am, when the alarm went off at quarter to 7, there was no way i was going to haul off to work. of course, i think the cause of last night's unsleepiness was threefold: coffee before class, added to getting worked up into a bit of a rage about my imcompetent professor who kept us after class for 15 minutes (which is a long time after a three hour class that's tacked onto the end of a regular work day). then i did some kickboxing to work out aggression, which, i guess at 10pm, was also not the smartest move. oh well. so i'm playing hookey. it's not like the work i do is, um, important or anything.

blargh.
i'm not all that prepared for my cataloging quiz, but my professor is so erratic (and bizarrely in love with card catalogs) that i'm not really sure what i should be studying anyway.
today feels very surreal. my alarm woke me from a really long, odd dream that began with me being very late for work, so i thought i was late when i woke up. the dream also involved yelling at my mother for watching Fox News and other conservative media. and then a very, very weird college party.
and there's this guy at work who seems to think i'm completely insane. i'm even making a conscious effort when interacting to be normal, but every time i speak i get the strangest looks. c'est la vie.
i need more red bull (and when you need something, that's a responsibility).
