New Phrase Day

1 Comment

For the first time the phrase “took the mickey outta me” came to mind.  Every school in the free world is out tomorrow due to snowfall–except mine.  The county where I live is covered in snow and has called off school, but the county where I work has only three inches of snow and has decided NOT to call off school.  Damn.

I have to admit, the headline that VP Cheney shot someone made me chuckle today.  I can’t explain it, but I think it was a combination of the headline and the picture that MSNBC used that did it.  Of course I wish the man who was shot a speedy and painfree recovery, but I guess reading Perez has demented me.  All I could think of was Perez saying, “Dick Cheney will shoot a bitch!”

Find, er, yourself. I’ve been out of the loop in major ways lately. Between work and school, I haven’t done much online. I have no new layouts, no new vids, I rarely comment on journals, heck, I rarely see journals. I sincerely hope that my decade of blogging hasn’t been a phase that I’m slipping out of. Yeah, that ended with a preposition, so what? Anyway, to update:

Lost was fantastic last night. Like Todd said, Eko selecting trees made me giddy. Charlie’s story not boring me to tears pleased me greatly. Locke creeping me out pleased me just as much as anything, and Hurley setting up his story has me looking forward to more from him. Two thumbs up…just like Hurley would do 😉

Fanvid-Recs continues to receive new submissions and we’re up to something like 60 vids now. Nearly all of them are just flawless vids and I’ve been able to see vids from fandoms I haven’t really been in to very much. It’s just how I wanted it to be. Yay!

I rocked my first assignments in each of my classes. I don’t think I should have too much of a problem pulling a couple of “A”s out of them.

Hobbit is doing fine. She’s lost a lot of weight and looks much sleeker, but she’s retained her cuteness. She still wants to overeat, but that’s our fault for feeding her four times her recommended amount daily for the first year and a half of her life.

I’m doing fine, I suppose. I visited Ben and Jesse for a bit which is always a great way to feel alive again. I’m almost considering contemplating getting out of the house more, but I’m not ready to commit to that idea just yet. Heh. Hopefully, I’ll do a little something and have more to write about at some point. Until then…

So like any grad student, I briefly scanned my syllabi to determine when I needed to start working on my coursework.  I checked my COUN 670 outline and saw that I had a 100 word reaction paper due almost two weeks after the start of school.  Coolness.  I glanced at the due date for my first assignment in COUN 672 and saw that it, too, was roughly two weeks away.  Well, this Thursday, my first assignment is due.  I have to read Chapters 1-5 of the text book as well as two very long articles then answer essay questions from the text.  Ack!  I’m *just* getting started on it and I am going to be AWOL from the net until I finish that assignment.  My COUN 670 class is fine, I’ve already sent in my work for it, but this other one is going to be murder.  Ack!
