sorry i havent bothered updating since i got home. i had tons of opportunity, as we now have a *wireless network* in the house, HOW AWESOME IS THAT!?!?! and digital cable and new furniture and everything is KICK ASS. so, recap:(I was initially going to put days of the week as headers but who can remember what day of the week it was when something happened so im going to use numbers instead to denote order of occurence but keep in mind it might be ... out of order. so sue me.)
1. After another all nighter spent packing everything up, I finally dumped all my stuff at the sister's house with the help of the ever faithful and available Aunty Lucy. Had a nice *adult* and very *mature* chat with her on the drive and i felt quite grown up.
2. Took MARTA to the airport. got some *really* sub-par chinese, ate a few bites of the lo-mein, and threw the rest out. Went to the Atrium and sat down for a bit. For some reason, I was 90% sure that there would be wireless internet at the airport, a silly notion maybe fueled by the fact that my wireless card is called an 'Airport (Extreme) Card." And of course there wouldnt be free internet access, especially at an airport but whatever, so yah, I'm stupid. next.
3. Watched Vanilla Sky on my computer during the flight. I liked it. I never understood or "got" Penelope Cruz or why everyone thinks she's great and why Tom Cruise is dating her and my god, she can barely speak English, but now I get it. She is amazingly cute, endearing to the extreme and if I were a crazy guy I would totally stalk her.
4. Arrived home, slept the sleep of the dead for over 12 hours.
5. Repeat 3x.
6. Somewhere in there: Return of the King which was AMAZING and I cried a few times and it just gives you such a sense of the *EPIC* and I think that was the problem with Star Wars I and II. Just the scale and the sweep and I just want to hug Peter Jackson and shake his hand and say "Thank you, Peter, thank you so much for not screwing up and ruining the books." And I realized how carelessly I read Tolkien when I was reading the Trilogy a few years back, sophomore year? I do not recall the ending, I thought it was whatshisface, king of Rohan, Eowyn's uncle, you know who i'm talking about, that threw himself on the funeral pyre over his son's death and I remember wondering at the end of the second movie why jackson decided to make it all nice and cut that bit out. Sorry, Peter.
7. My mother is very morbid sometimes. I don't like that. It makes me think she's silly.
8. I want to steal my brother's guitar. He has a Martin. It's not fair. I played it and it sounds great and I want it.
9. Since I'm starting to break out the randomness, here's something that's been bothering way more than it should: Okay. The Edge of Reason, the sequel to Bridget Jones' Diary, is being made into a movie, right? Right. Now, in the book, Bridget gets to interview Colin Firth. But, in the movie, well, Colin Firth plays Mr. Darcy, Bridget's boyfriend. So...what are they going to do with that part? And isnt it funny that the name of Bridget's boyfriend's character was chosen because of every woman's love of Pride and Prejudice and to sort of perhaps signify her "dream" man or the ideal perfect you get the idea, and Colin Firth played Darcy in PP and is now playing Darcy again.
10. Someone should shoot me for saying that. That's what youre thinking right now. I should. I really should.
11. Leaving on a cruise tomorrow. 7 nights. With whole family. On a ship. I really don't know what to expect, except (weird) the few pounds that are invariably gained. Ports of call, I believe, are Port Canavral, Miami, and Nassau.
12. I think that's it. wait! oh!
13. I *AM* losing my hair, my roommates just scoffed when I whimpered at the mirror. I came home, my mother saw the back of my head, and yelled at me for not taking care of my self, 'Why are you so worried?" "Are you eating right?" "You're not healthy" Yes, she can tell cause she's seen me when I had a full head of hair and at this rate I'll be bald in time for graduation. I am really upset about this. My hair is getting too thin and there's virtually none left and you can see TONS of my scalp when I pull my hair up and it used to be I could make a high ponytail and my head would be all black but no more. My hair is stringy now, it hangs in visible clumps, or ropes. I now have to loop hair elastics four times, whereas I used to have to struggle to get the second loop over what used to be my thick hair. I am seriously considering Rogain if things get worse.
14. This is a sad state of affairs.
15. I'm going to stop here before I embarass myself further.
