my hands are ice cubes

not something i thought i;'d be saying anytime saoon,as were having a heat wave here. but i've been sitting in the server room at APL for like 1 1/2 hours now. and they have to keep it cool to keep the big servers cool. and i'm dressed for summer. so any studpi like that typos are mst likely from me nt wante=ing to go back and fix things uz that would mean movig my ahands more and that ckind of hurts at the moment.

but other than that things are going well. classes are good. i'm catching up resX preetty well. and thats good. and did i mention there's a hear t wave here ? and that sucks ass. had to buy new fans, and that was good. hhhhh... what else.
i get to go home early today! cuz kiko got sick so my lit class was cancelled. so i just have a little more to do here then i'm going home. to read. and eat food. i like food. i have a hard time eating anything other than bagels in my schedule. but i'm making an effort to cook things. just hard, cuz i usually dont get home till 8 or after.
ok.
done here.
going out fo the cold room.

ahhrrrg

ok. already falling behind in classes. well. only one class. and not that far behind. but HAVE TO catch up this weekend. cuz my schedule is kinda crazy. but i REALLY REALLY REALLY like my classes. i'd forgot how fun and dazing it is to listen to kiko talk and realize that i could never talk like that, especially considering i can barely follow what he is saying. and my other class is on Stories!!! YAY stories!!! and storyboards, but i'm kind of thinking that that is not going to be as hard as they are making it out to be.... i dunno. working in a group will probably be harder than the actual making of the project. ok. i think library time is over. not having internet is doing me good. and i finally got a decent night's sleep last night, which was good. and i apologize for my last entry, which was 1)untrue as i look back over the life of this blog, people do comment at least sometimes and 2)very very hypocritical because i almost never comment on other people's blogs. so. sorry for that. cuz i probably wont be doing any commenting in the next 4 weeks. ok. i think i've said everything i wanted to say. now to hole up in my apartment, eat pizza, and read like the wind about what exactly the definition of a nation is.

(violence out. take that peter.)

no love

for my blog, apparently.

nobody leaves me comments anymore. and i've been trying to be good and update more often. actually, the other day i had a giant entry all filled out to post and then my computer froze. which sucked. but i wasn't going to rewrite the entire thing. too bad for y'all, who are apparently n'y'all, as from you comments, there are none of you.

but. i'm back in seattle, after a not-very-relaxing break in alaska. it was really really nice to be home, but i definitely could have used another week there where i didn't have to do anything, instead of the one week i did have where i felt like i had too much shit to do. not really all that much, but more than i wanted to do on my one week of vacation.

and now i have new classes starting tomorrow. which i'm am getting re-excited about. yay for little classes. hopefully they'll be cool.

and also a pro/con of the summer is that i have no internet hookup in my apartment anymore. which is sad for my internet surfing, but probably a really good thing in the long run as maybe i'll be more done when i'm not constantly in from of the computer. and i can still check my email almost everyday- cuz i go to work and work on UW super-fast internet everyday. so i think it'll be good.

oh. and while i was on break, i got to see Jenn and Haley and Ben. but who did i see the most often? (besides my parents and the staff of Kaladi Brothers) thats right, Josh Northcutt. which was odd. but the Tim Sturm Band played at the Kenai river festival both days, so i saw him then, and then he was working at subway when i went in on thursday and friday, and saturday night i drove past him and waved as he was in the Kaladi Brother's parking lot. It would have been kind of fun to see them at Kaladis- see what they're like in a smaller venue. i think their original songs are all pretty good.

and Saturday night Haley and Lisa and I all went to the Crossing to eat and watch Ben play piano. the food was TaStY. i like steak. i really like new york strip steaks. i get them a lot. and that restaraunt was nice - good to have a decent nice restaraunt in soldotna again. And ben played well. good job, ben. Although, i think i've heard you play all but one of those songs before... but i'm sure if i played there i'd do the same thing.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand.... there's probably more i should say but this is getting long and i need to go buy toilet paper and ramen noodles.

ahh, seatac

i feel comfortable in airports. i know how things work. and there are signs everywhere telling you where to go and where to eat and where to take a shit. its nice. and people are continually things. all these things i like. what i do not like is the retarded water-fountains that sound like a bubbling brook or something. i want to shoot them. but i will refrain.

so. finals actually went ok. i wasn't as stressed out as i thought i would be, mostly because i forgot that i'm a terrible studier. i just don't do it. or i do it super efficiently, in like half the time that i planned for. so i did much more lazing about than i expected to.

and last night i went and saw Miiii(h)... which was ok. not the best movie i've ever seen, but certainly full of action. and tom cruise is just a giant bobble head man. whenever anyone asked him a question he didn't want to answer, he'd just bobble his head around, looking strained, instead of answering the question. then people would let him off the hook.

and lately i've been listening to C9 radio out of paris. La Connextion Pop Rock! its fun. i can't really understand what the people say yet, but i catch snippets of it. and they play slightly different pop stuff than you hear here, and the occasional song in french thats cool. everything is cooler in french.

ok. i think i'll take advantage of super-fast airport wifi in some other way now. bye!

AHHHRRREEEHHH?

and that sound probably corresponds to this face:




which is how i feel about finals week.
i had to make myself a schedule just so i could keep track of all the shit i have to do. at strange times. finals, and work, and SIFF volunteering, and making sure things get to where theyre supposed to be, and making sure that there is cat food here while i'm gone... stuff like that. and today, and only today, i have to write my final paper for film class. that definitely should not have been put off until today, but i knew the instant he said "but, really, you can turn it in on monday and i wont take any points off" that this is when it would be written.

and today is jaynes birthday! happy birthday jayne! i made her a cake! i didn't get her a present, and i feel bad, but i did make cake and try to invite her friends over to eat it tonight. so hopefully that goes well and not too long, so i can continue to write my paper.

and work is really stressful at the moment just because i've been working on this one thing that is REALLY STUPID for the past two weeks, and i just can't get it right becuase of silly little mistakes, or because people didn't properly enough explain what they needed. and i feel like my boss' opinion of me is going down. which sucks. i know he just thinks of me as a complete ditz. which sucks. cuz i'm not, not really. not in work and school stuff. ughghg.

ok. going to work on my paper now. hope everyone else is feeling less stressed than me.
