| The Movie Of Your Life Is Film Noir |
 So what if you're a little nihilistic at times? Life with meaning is highly over-rated. Your best movie matches: Sin City, L. A. Confidential, Blade Runner |

I Broke my Tablet Stylus! :-(
My mom is downstairs taking down Christmas decorations, breaking quite a few ornaments and cursing. Serves he right for having that many decorations. Now if only they had a "half kidding" punctuation-emoticon-thing...
I really don't want to go to school tomorrow. I mean, I love school, but I just don't feel like going back yet. I have 281 (or is it 282?) at 9 am tomorrow, though, and I kinda need that course to finish my degree. Then I have nothing else all day, except probably a trumpet lesson at 1 and an attempt to beg my way into my Oral Communication class at 3. Not that I would really mind only having one class MWF...
Ok, I give: the election and politics. Vote for the person you want to represent you, taking into account party affiliations and attitudes towards party lines vs. constituent wishes, as well as their stance on various issues. If there's nobody you want, then nominate your own candidate. It doesn't cost that much, and it doesn't matter if he/she doesn't win, because you will have expressed exactly what you want. You don't vote in an election to win. It is not a contest for the voters, it is an expression of your opinion and wishes for yourself. I wish more people got that. There's no such thing as a wasted honest vote.
On the plus side, it's Sunday and that means American Dad and Family guy. Yay! And I heard an ad about new episodes of Prison Break coming along, too... Happyhappy. :-) Wow. I just realised that, for somebody who usually only watches the news, I'm keeping up with a lot of television shows right now. American Dad, Gilmore Girls, House, Prison Break... Well, ok, that's actually it, but that's still a lot more than I usually take on. It's kind of frightening how much happiness I derive from the Fox network...

Love-Hate
I have decided that Bit Torrent both rocks and sucks. You can get whatever you want, more or less, and you _will_ get it, but it takes for-bloody-ever. I always try LimeWire first, just in case, but it's only good for popular singles. So I have to keep my comp plugged in and set to max power usage so that it doesn't go into hibernation and stop the torrent. *pout* You know, I'm kind of glad my brother doesn't read this blog, because I just know he'd be laughing at me for this if he did. Bah...

Post #120
Feeling self-important enough to blog. Yesterday and today have been spent kind of detoxing. The caffeine badness of a couple of nights ago took its toll, and so I've been readjusting from that. I couldn't even crash properly--I had to take medication to sleep. When I tried to sleep just because I was tired, my brain kept doing this thing where ten million thoughts would rush all over eachother and some would make sense, and others wouldn't be even close to true and no way in hell could I relax enough to sleep then. Ugh. Maybe there were opiates in the cinnamon I added to that coffee...
But, yeah, not much else going on around here. Doug's birthday party is tonight! Yay, Doug!! Looking forward to that. Vowing not to drink. Much, anyway.
Oh! Something good has happened recently. Yesterday, I had _another_ optometrist appointment, but I finally convinced him that the best way to handle things was to use regular contact lenses for my myopia and then put astigmatism correction in glasses which I would wear only when needed. So lenses were ordered yesterday and I went and bought frames today. In a week, I will be able to see properly! Took bloody well long enough. He had to try me on all types of torric lenses _and_ on aspherical lenses, too, but none of them manage to correct my astigmatism, for some reason he can't fathom. I have no idea why, either, but I'm glad that we finally go to the solution I was hoping for. The ashperics aren't bad, but they don't let me see my music properly, so they are a no-go.
Hmm, maybe a little nap before going out tonight...

Southern Discomfort
Gah. Currently watching Devine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. Feeing rather quite bad for Sandra Bullock's character's grandmother. It's rather disheartening after watching the end of Love Actually. My mom was watching the latter when I got up. I seem to be incapable of sleeping past 8 am these days. This is not good, since I've been going to sleep no earlier than 2. Last night was espeically bad. I was feeling funky last night, so I got a coffee. I figured I either wouldn't get to most of it or Peter would steal some, so I got a Venti. And I actually drank all but I few sips. And then a few hours later, I felt *bad*. And now it's 9 am and I've been awake and even mildly functional for two hours.
You know what else is disheartening? The plethora of "career training"-type ads on TBS. They even bother me more than the ads for the "health assurance" services with the guy with the southern accent. Okay, there are far too many commercials during movies. I really must turn this off.

Fuzzy Black Hat Box of DVD Goodness
My dog was particularly insistent that I get up today, which was fine, because I'd slept in considerably, but I didn't realise until my mother called me that there was nobody else around for my dog to bug. Yay, day to myself!
So I went out and bought myself some happiness in the form of Serenity and season one of House. Yeah, so I went overbudget for the giftcard my brother gave me, but it was worth it. I now finally understand who the hell Vogler is. If you guys haven't watched House, you must do so! I didn't even let myself buy Gilmore Girls DVDs, but I bought this! I've been trying to get Joyce to watch it for a while, but she claims she has enough TV watching to do, what with all her pretty boys (*cough*Chad Michael Murray*cough*). ;-p So I'm considering trying to convince her to watch the epsiode with Andrew Keegan in it. ^_^
Farley is curled into a fuzzy black hat box next to me. I feel like I should go get my camera so that I can post a picture of it. ^_^ But every time I take a picture with my dog in it, I remember the monologue from One Hour Photo and I feel supremely embarassed...
I wonder how the campaign is going. I get the impression that our Christmas decorations will be coming down a little late this year...

Happy New Year!
Well, here we are, in 2006. Yeah. So... Anyways, I didn't do much last night. Peter and I were going to rent some movies/games/tv shows/whatever, but we didn't get to Blockbuster until, like, 6:30, so everything on our list of possibilities was gone. So I rented a random CSI DVD. Season 3, Volume, 3, apparently. Pretty decent. Watched all four episodes. Then we had some Unibroue beer to chime in the new year. It smelled delicious but tasted pretty bad, IMO, so I gave all but a couple sips of my share to Peter. ^_^ Oh! But then, a condensed airing of the Iron Chef 2000th dish episode was on, and so Peter drooled over that. Even I was wanting to try some of the stuff they made.
Hmmm... I don't think I'm going to do the whole New Year's Resolution thing. I can't think of anything I'd like to change that I'm not already putting effort into. So it's not that I'm perfect, it's that I'm already working on it, godammit, so get off my back. ^_^
I've given in and decided that I need to get a link taken out of my watch strap. Which means I have to pay to get that done. *sigh* Oh, well. The flopping around is driving me crazy, so I guess it's worth using up some of my nifty gift card to get it fixed. Maybe I'll just use the balance to get myself some slipper socks. My "wooden shoe" slippers rock, but they're too chunky to wear around all the time.
Okay, I'm officially rambling. So I will leave off with a Happy New Year! Enjoy the various marathons on TV today! And remember: Christmas baking helps with hangovers!!
