Todaysies

I'm trying to get my shit together. By the way, you can't clean up that phrase and still have it make sense. I saw a couple of the teachers I teach with yesterday and tried to say, "I'm trying to get my stuff together," and they said, "What stuff?" I had to say, "Okay, that was an attempt to say, 'get my shit together' politely." They laughed.

I'm anxiously awaiting Spring. By summer I will have written a dissertation and graduate with that fucking PhD in May. Right now, I'm just trying to clean shit out.

In entertainment news...

I just downloaded the soundtrack for the t.v. show Grey's Anatomy and I'm loving it. I haven't heard a compilation like that since The L Word soundtrack from the first season. I really like the show too despite the rumor's that the show's star Elen Pompeo is a real crazy bitch. Apparently she showed her ass on Ashton's Punk'd. She's still totally hot.


I ventured out the day after Christmas (not recommended) to watch Memoirs of a Geisha (very recommended). It was freakin' packed out. I was late and someone had my ticket waiting. I believe I literally got the last seat in the house...right up in the front row. The bad part was the strain to see the screen right in front of me, the good part was that I got to sit by myself. You do not want people yammering in your ear when you watch this film. Instead, you'll want to savor every moment the movie is on...all 145 minutes of it. Aside: Michelle Yeoh rocked my world like she did in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

the iPod

I've been obsessed with my new iPod. I cannot, however, seem to figure out how to format video to play in it. Still, I've had it attched to my ears at every moment. I just don't understand how those crappin ear bud's fit in normal people's ears. Maybe my ear holes are too small?

dvds

And if you're looking for dvds at a good price, try your local pawn shops. I almost always find something there. It seems people who give their movies to pawn shops have great taste in movies, or not so great as their giving their shit away. I bought Donnie Darko (as I said earlier, I think time travel may just be possible) and Bandits (to replace the one I lost) for $4 each today. Sweet.

The salesman at the pawn shop tried to sell me on a drum set. I think he went too far when I told him I didn't have room and he told me I could keep it at his house. Hell alot of good that would do me.
