anam cara

i'm so excited

periods suck. oh well. i bought chocolate chip cookie dough to make me feel better. mmmm.... cookies *drools*

over the weekend, i saw SoaP and The Illusionist. i actually really enjoyed SoaP. it was a fun movie. and now i'm more than a little addicted to 'Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)' by Cobra Starship. at first, i thought The Illusionist was kind of slow and i wasn't really emotionally involved with the characters- i didn't care what happened to them- but by the end, i was really enjoying it. i'd recommend it. and i don't even really like Jessica Biel.

i let my friend borrow my first season of House (which she had actually bought me) last week and since the third season was going to start this week, there was only one thing we could do. she slept over on Sunday and we rented the complete second season of House (except Blockbuster was out of disc 3). it took us about two days, but we watched 20 hours to prepare her for Tuesday. speaking of House, yesterday was really good. ( i'm so glad House is back! )

in Boosh news, i finally got their Complete Radio Series on CD (i'll upload once i get to school and it won't take me forever). oh gawd, they're hilarious! i'm not sure which is funnier- the TV show or the radio show. oh well. i don't have to choose. one thing i like about the TV show though is the addition of Dixon Bainbridge. but in the radio show, i love the way Vince 'thinks' and Vince and Howard yelling/screaming is funny as hell XD i'm working on a new Noel/Julian header for my LJ, and over at boosh_stills:

what else... there's (part of) a sequel to Dr. Jackson's Diary!

i'm probably going to be getting a video iPod for my birthday!! in less than a month!

my brother is sick, so i'm most likely going to get sick right as my summer ends and i go back to school... :/

i got a shower caddy for my dorm from Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

i don't know what i want to be for Halloween, but i still can't wait. i love Halloween. i love October. it may have something to do with the fact that it's the month i was born in ;) and i love candy. i'm going to go on a train ride at midnight where they tell us scary stories or something with my dad, sister, and step-mother that weekend. October makes me so happy <3

and lately, i've been in a very The Sentinel mood. i've been watching my DVDs, my tapes, reading fic, making icons. it's been great =D

and yay!new 'Gates this week :D

feeling slightly depressed (but trying to cheer myself up)

well, that was a mistake. i guess i shouldn't call my mom when i'm in a good mood. i love her, i know she loves me, and i understand that she's going through some really shitty stuff at work right now, but i always end up feeling depressed after talking to her. well, not always, but often enough. she misunderstands something i say so i say forget it and she gets pissed off at me.

last night my stomach hurt so bad i couldn't even lie down. i guess i ate too much but i don't remember eating that much. i guess i just haven't been eating as much as i used to since i've been at my dad's. they buy less junk food, thankfully. so i took Pepto-bismal which made me want to puke, and finally fell asleep. luckily today was better.

work started out slowly, but then people had to come in to install the air conditioner so i got to leave the room and do more interesting things. also, i had to take a radiation/X-ray safety thing where i watch a (very cheesy) 45 min film about how i was already probably going to die of cancer anyway, so a little bit more at work won't hurt. the old man in his chair also told me that the increased risk of cancer for people working with radioactive material was the same as their odds of being murdered. so, in all likelihood, i'm going to die a terrible and painful death. i still laughed through most of it. and then we had to take a quiz where i was the first non-exec to get 100%, so go me ^_^

then i come home to find that i had won XD i didn't even know i had been nominated. sweet! and now, in the few hours i have before i go to sleep, i'm going to be watching The Mighty Boosh because right now, it cheers me up like nothing else <3

i taped Inside the Actors Studio with Hugh Laurie but i haven't watched it yet. i also have to burn it to DVD for my mom cause we don't have Bravo at home.

i need to get V for Vendetta soon. among other things... and i get my first paycheck this Friday. too bad i have to save most of it for school books.

and under the cut a lovely picture of Stephen Colbert as the Hulk from http://www.bestweekever.tv/2006/07/31/marvel-comics-present-the-rampaging-colbert/

( Stephen Colbert. Comedian. Newsman. Vessel of Truthiness. Superhero? According to Marvel Comics, the answer is yes. Editor-in-chief of Marvel Joe Quesada presented Colbert with this comic book mock-up on his show Thursday night, with Colbert killing what he believes to be the biggest threat to our freedom as Americans… a big bear. You know, they should really give all Daily Show contributors their own comic books. Who doesn’t want to see Jon Stewart kick some political ass while in a head-to-toe body stocking?
