Thoughts

September 29, 2008

Guys, I am doing my part to help our (FAILING! PANICKING! AAAAH!) economy: I am shopping until I’m dropping. No, really, I went to Century 21 for the first time last week. It was both amazing and frightening. Amazing: lots of cheap, cute clothes. Frightning: lots of ugly clothes, and lots of people on a [...]

Period

Saddest. Copy meeting. Ever.
Also, meeting that I least want to discuss on the internet. Ever.
So there’s that. Intrigued? Don’t worry, it’s not that interesting to you outsider-type people.
BUT everyone I would normally talk to about this is either listening to the radio, or not returning my calls yet. Hence, this also leads to:
Vaguest. Entry. Ever.

Not another Li-word

Just for Lauren, a review of Pimptown:
Better than I had expected. Everyone said such horrible things about Plimpton that I was kind of reluctant to live here–no light, no common area, old, air shafty, etc. etc. So I guess I was bound to be happily surprised. I think part of the deal is that I [...]

Liiiisty.

Here’s some things I love:
1. Brad Pitt, when he’s rocking the hair that he has in Burn After Reading.
2. Walking out of Butler having actually done my work, and feeling a little bit superior to all the people still stuck in there.
3. Everything I bought at the Gap yesterday. And at Beacon’s closet last week. [...]

Here’s my favorite professor quote of the year, so far:
“The good news is that the software arrived today. The bad news is that someone stole it.”
In that same class, this girl and I had an extended discussion about who our professor-crush more resembles: Paul Rudd or Ethan Hawke.
In other news, I am babysitting up a [...]

Dare you to read this all

September 12, 2008

Ok, here’s the one-sentence wrap-up: not as protest-fraught as Ahmadenijad, a hell of a lot less controversial, and yet still, one of the few events that actually managed to unite Columbians.
Here’s the longer (by longer, I mean redonkulously long) version:
All day yesterday, there was kind of a buzz, a low murmur in the background, like [...]

Gis what?

September 9, 2008

I got a new computer battery in the mail!
This is about as exciting to me as winning McBama tickets would be to a normal (albeit, normal for Columbia) person.
My computer is now capable of making it through an entire lecture! Oh, the times we’ll have together… we’ll laugh, we’ll cry, maybe we’ll romp in a [...]

Factoid: I cannot handle free time.
I totally squandered my first free Monday. By which I mean I didn’t get much homework done. I did, however, get my laundry done and visit the babysitting agency and get a kickass job, and also get pissed off at computers and printers and old women who hold up printer [...]

Just an achiever

September 7, 2008

Ok, I’ve made my decision.
Sobre que?
Classes.
I will only be taking 4 academic classes a semester, from here on out. Basically, because I can. I have just enough credits to do that, thanks to seminars and PE. And who the hell would have thought that I would ever thank PE?
I kind of had a hard time [...]

What cloven hoof?

Also, here’s a quote from my orthodox Jewish, kosher-keeping suitemate:
“Someone was cooking bacon the other morning… it smelled SO GOOD.”
See, no one can resist the appeals of bacon!
