100 years of solitude has a ton of great passages, but my favorite involves two ideas:
one, a man becomes emotionally unwell because his nostalgia for one place is battling his nostalgia for other--"nostalgias facing each other like two mirrors"--because this is how I feel when I miss a place. that, in being there, i'll miss where I am.
two, the same man advises his friends to keep traveling so as to never have to think about this, or get settled, so his friend buys a ticket to a train that never stops.
Sometimes I want to be on a train that never stops. |

When professors give you a study guide, with about 20 items on it. You are expected to know the 20. But they let you know from the beginning that on the test, they will only ask you to define five of the items.
What the hell is the point of that? You're going to have me memorize 20 different people, places and things in Irish History, but then only ask me to define 5 of them???
I just honestly think that's one of the most obnoxious formats that a professor can test you in.
End rant. |

I looooove giraffe's. Serendipity 3 is overrated. Very...um...special people take the subway. Free entertainment, I'm all for it.
I like NYC. But I hate that no matter how hard I try, or how many times I go there, I can never bring myself to like it enough to ever want to intern/work/live there. I hate that all the cool jobs are in NYC, but NYC is not where I could ever see myself. Gimme some green grass please. And trees. And quiet.
Fuck, where does that leave me? |

Oh my god. 6:30am is an awful time to be awake.
This really makes me rethink taking an 8am on MWF next semester. But it's Biologyyyy and I like the teacherrr. Waaaah.
Alright, now I'm headed off to the Bronx Zoo for the day. |

Some crazy woman crossed the street and tried to get bitten by one of my dogs (she walked over and waved her hand angrily in front of it) so she could blackmail my mom. "I'm going to call my lawyer!"
My mom was like "...I'm not giving you any money. Just call your lawyer."
I hate people. |

The film "Blindness" is receiving protest from the National Federation of the Blind, who complain, among other things, that the blind in the movie "... are unable to do even the simplest things, like dressing, bathing, and finding the bathroom."
Being that the movie is about the world SUDDENLY going blind, not having been and having adapted to being blind--and by the way, isn't it about THE WHOLE WORLD GOING BLIND? Any sort of pandemic is bound to cause riots, chaos, and some problems... I just hate when people are reactionary in trying to make the world PC. |

My sister got a job as a (recurring) extra on 90210. Woo! I guess it's like 2-3 days a week of work, so not bad... it pays decently. |

I never thought I'd say that I enjoy my Biology lecture more than my Irish History class. Jesus, what's wrong with me!?

Our electric bill is quite low because 3/4 of us are jews and unplug everything when it's not in use. At least, this is the reason we put to it.
Winter will be more expensive, but whatever. I'm a big fan of cold. |

It makes me sad when things change. It's inevitable, but it's always hard no matter what.
Especially when you thought things were going to be so much different than they end up being.
Just gotta roll with the punches, right? Right :) |

A Rabbit As King Of The Ghosts
Wallace Stevens
The difficulty to think at the end of day,
When the shapeless shadow covers the sun
And nothing is left except light on your fur—
There was the cat slopping its milk all day,
Fat cat, red tongue, green mind, white milk
And August the most peaceful month.
To be, in the grass, in the peacefullest time,
Without that monument of cat,
The cat forgotten on the moon;
And to feel that the light is a rabbit-light
In which everything is meant for you
And nothing need be explained;
Then there is nothing to think of. It comes of itself;
And east rushes west and west rushes down,
No matter. The grass is full
And full of yourself. The trees around are for you,
The whole of the wideness of night is for you,
A self that touches all edges,
You become a self that fills the four corners of night.
The red cat hides away in the fur-light
And there you are humped high, humped up,
You are humped higher and higher, black as stone—
You sit with your head like a carving in space
And the little green cat is a bug in the grass.

I can't wait to see Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist when it comes out. It needs to come out now!
Oh yes, and Quarantined. Which I'm convinced (hoping) is going to be frightening. My video production professor saw Vall & I watching the trailer in class yesterday and told us about how it's based on a Spanish movie that is terrifying.
Cooperdog turns 2 tomorrow! My little bastard is growing up so fast! And my landlord has okayed overnight visits from him for the future, hahaha. |

Though I've always had a soft spot for Martha, it wasn't until I caught a rerun of "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood" on BBC America the other day that the awesomeness of her character really hit me.
The sacrifices she made for the Doctor are just astounding, especially when you realize that she never really got the credit she deserved, or the love that she wanted all along.
So here is my mix for Martha Jones' unrequited love. It tore her up inside but it pushed her to do amazing, incredible things. This mix is lovey-dovey and melancholy, but I love it and I hope you do too.

I really really really cannot wait for next semester.
I'll only be taking 4 classes, and 3 out of the 4 will be classes that I'm interested in (and hopefully, will end up liking because of this). I thought I was going to like the classes this semester, but I feel like I'm just trudging along and getting through them :( But hey, at least it's made me realize that picking Sociology as my minor was a good choice. I'm loving my US Masculinity's class still!
I woke up at 3am out of a dead sleep feeling like I was going to be sick. Now I'm back in bed about to take a nap, I called (well, emailed) out of work. Hopefully my boss won't be mad, I don't think he will. I've been there over a year and I've only called out once last year. But this gross feeling has stuck with me all day. It feels like someone keeps flipping my stomach around.
Bronx Zoo in 11 days! |
