I think it's safe to announce what's called a HIATUS.

I wish everyone a wonderful start to the winter, and possibly even, a wonderful holiday season if I don't update by then :D


Maybe after winter break gets started...

YAY TELEVISION.

So I'm not going to bother with detailed updating on college except that it started, and I like my professors because they seem cool, the coursework seems tough, and I must stop procrastinating.

Speaking of.........

WHO WATCHES GLEE?! New love of my life here man. I didn't think I was a big fan of musical shows and such but man this show is so good. I actually semi-refused to watch it back in like april or whenever they showed previews a whole lot, but NOW I can't get enough of their singing and dancing. It's awesome and everbody should watch it is all I have to say.

Also is this for real or is it just Matt Damon being awesome and funny and uhm practical joke-y

Matt Damon freak out on Adrian Grenier

----------------

Oh and turns out everyone I know (well two people I know) met freakinnnng John Krasinski last night at the IFC Center. How the hell don't I find out about movie screenings that he will attend (of Brief Interviews with Hideous Men) and people that don't really care find out. HOW.


Hope everyone's doing well, and feeling well, steering clear of the flu and all. That's clearly one of the top health things on my mind what with Barnard sending us emails about seeing Health Services if you're sick. So yea. Hope everyone's feeling well and enjoying the quickly disappearing Fall weather :D

I kind of really miss LJ and using Photoshop. Good times.

Mahone says it best in my userpic I think.

I realize how redundantly apologetic I am. And I realize how ridiculous that sounds. So I'll stop.


So basically this summer I've been working as a research assistant in this lab at school, and my fellow experimental friends are:


fruit flies.

The job's been fun and I've been compensated this whole time. But now the actual research program is over and I'm basically still going to go into work to keep these flies alive. I don't yet know how I feel about this. But work has definitely taken up almost all of my time this summer which saddens me.

I still haven't seen Harry Potter HBP for goodness' sake. ildfhlkjdhgilthj. It's driving me nuts. There's also been a whole lot of family stuff going on which has been fun but again bery draining in terms of limited hours of sleep and constantly being "on"

But nonetheless satisfying, slightly busy, summer thus far. I'm definitely not looking forward to the semester starting soon.

In terms of weather I hope those outside of New York have been experiencing a lot less rain, and a lot more sun. It's literally been over 90 degrees only twice since June. It's August 2nd now. And it's raining outside or thundering actually as I speak. INSANE.

I'm still hesitant to place one of those HIATUS signs on my journal because I do secretly read other people's entries (creeper I know) but what with this apparently new LJ setting that might not happen so much anymore. But I'm wondering if I will be able to become an active LJ-er again once the semester starts. Keeping hopes up still but I guess we'll see what happens.

Hope everyone's enjoying the summertime and whatnot. I feel weird 'catching' up like every 8 weeks and then never visiting again. I miss ya folks on the flist =/ ( I also wish LJ had better emoticons or whatever they're called).

it's not much of a blog if one updates once every month.

sorry guys.

shall hopefully begin to be more diligent with lj during this summer.

[OH! Those who watch(ed) Pushing Daises, don't forget to watch the second to last episode EVER tonight!]

good day.

edit: lmfao. i said almost the exact same thing about being diligent last time I updated a month ago. Such poor vocabulary. tsk. tsk.

wow. 9weeks. last update 9 weeks ago! for a second I was gonna say that's the human gestation period. wtf.

that just goes to show. way way too much of my life is devoted to school at the moment. dang vertebrate biology.

I really hope everyone on the flist is doing very well. I'm pretty certain I'll be more diligent once summer vacation starts.

Oh man that song is annoying. The one where they keep yelling out "Have you heard the news flash?!"

Anyways, HI everybody. I cannot believe I have not updated since before this new semester started.

Let's see if I can do a super quick summary. Update? Or Summary. I think update is the better word...

--------
REAL LIFE:

01. So I'm semi-dorming now. IT is a lot easier not having to commute home every morning and night.
02. Classes I'm taking: Only four: Organic Chem + lab, Statistics, Spanish, and Vertebrate Biology.
03. Stat---bane of my existence. Anyone on the flist ever taken it and has any wise words of advice...?
04. omfg midyears are now. In like 5 days. Damn. Time is flying by man.

05. Happier things: Sister's baby, as in my niece, Jememah, is very much absolutely awesome. I miss seeing her, but when I do, it is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME.
06. SPRING BREAK IN 2 WEEKS YAY.
07. I really wish my uni had more days off than just a week off every like 6 weeks. What's up with that?
08. I bought a stuffed owl from a little boy on the Upper West Side who was selling it on the street, along with a bunch of other stuffed. Really cute owl. $2.00!!

--------
TV:

01. SHOWS LIKE LOST PUT EVERY OTHER SHOW TO SHAME. TO SHAME. If something like Lost doesn't get nominations and freaking House still gets nominated, or even worse, ohmygoodness, Grey's Anatomy... *shudders*
02. I also love Chuck. Very cute.
03. School doesn't really let me watch tv :(
--------

So how is everyone. I hope well. I'm pretty terrible, secretly lurking around people's journals and not commenting. I cannot believe I am up to the point where I actually procrastinate on livejournal as well. ON LIVEJOURNAL GUYS.

I just saw Painted Veil and I guess I can't really say how much I liked it without spoiling it, but it is so fantastic, so I'll try.

I always semi-loved Edward Norton and he was awesome in Hulk, and I always loved Naomi Watts because she is made of freaking awesome acting powers and beauty. And this movie was so spectacular.

I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves a good heart-wrenching/romantic story. I loved how you really got into the characters and cared about them, and the angst! Every scene is just so well acted. The entire movie seems like it has so little dialogue, and yet both of them do such a great job at portraying the characters. And the entire thing is so beautiful too! Not only the pretty landscapes, but also. Naomi Watts' face and clothes, and uhm Edward Norton's face and hair, and his clothes too I guess. Just such a beautiful movie UGH. I kept thinking about it after I saw it and had crazy dreams afterwards.

THE PRETTINESS:











------------------

UHM. I also saw:

TWILIGHT: I think it's ok for me to say LMAO considering the majority audience's age group. I was actually pretty impressed with this. 3.9/5 (Maybe if I see it in better quality, where his skin looks diamond-y as opposed to just plain sweaty, and I don't miss other such important details, I'll like it more...)

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE : 5/5 STARS. Plus some more.

BURN AFTER READING: 3.5/5. I don't know. I thought I would like it more but I think I've seen a lot of crazy movies recently so this one didn't exactly blow my mind.

So clearly I'm a bit late for Christmas wishes, but nonetheless

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE.

Hope those who celebrate Christmas had a good one!

So I don't celebrate Christmas but my birthday I do celebrate.

I got really awesome presents. I feel bad for getting so many things, and I tried this year to tell my friends to not get stuff but it really didn't work.

• Uhm. YES. This is so great because it's basically instant 35 minute entertainment whenever one wants.

• (yay full set now (S1-S3) of all the good eps since it all started to suck after S3). I miss good old House so this is awesome since I don't really watch it anymore so I can watch these whenever I wanna see Hugh Laurie. 

• iPod Touch case. Now I can actually begin to think about carrying it around.

Other non-photoable stuffs:
- comforter set!
- chapstick, nailpolish, earrings, bracelet
- money!

But yea. People are nice.

Alright so once again HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

And Happy New Year also! Yay 2009! :) Hope it brings great things for everyone.

Movie:
( no spoilers inside...but still )

Theater Experience:

THERE WAS THIS GROSS GROSS GROSS COUPLE IN FRONT OF ME I JUST WANTED TO KICK THEM OUT. I mean I don't think I'm being a prude when I say if you are so horny that you are huffing and puffing from making out so much, and you're like lying down on your girlfriend and she's touching you under your shirt and shit, you probably should've just stayed home. SERIOUSLY. PROPRIETY PEOPLE.

And like it was so hard to ignore them because they were so fucking loud, and they were talking also, and they were right in front of me, and this is the theater near my house so it's small, and so we couldn't change seats because it was crowded. Ugh. They were so gross. And the guy was asshole-ish because he was talking and he like offered the guy next to him popcorn, like wtf. He doesn't know you and probably doesn't even want to see your disgusting face. They sorta pissed me off. Clearly.

OH! And I heard the lady whisper to him "Good things come to those who wait" which freaked me out even more. They were so weird. She thinks she whispered, but she didn't really. It was before the movie was on and the theater was playing audio-less things so SHUT UP. OIDMFGBKSMNDZKRFNG. 

Seriously, I feel like they ruined kissing scenes in movies for me. Forever. Or at least for a while.
