SighhhhBlahhh. Life is sort of sucking right now. A more cheery version of myself will be back to update soon, hopefully.
As for aesthetics and such, I did decide to fiddle a liddle with the html because that poopy brown background was bringing me down a bit. Of course, I've chosen one of my favorite colors in the whole wide world. Lime green. The color of my L.L. Bean backpack and what I had the ASB room painted in high school. Happy, happy, joy, joy. By now you may have noticed that I added some music--apologies for it starting automatically and causing a scene at your place of work/learning/silence. Feel free to scroll down and shut it off and/or question the randomness of song choice.
'Til next time, à bientôt!

where'd you go? i miss you so
Haven't quite been in the blog-y mood lately. When I do get back in the swing of things, expect and beware an explosion of a whole lotta somethings and nothings. For now, let me enjoy this chicken teriyaki bowl from Costco...

i may not have reached the end, but i'm getting darn close
There is absolutely nothing on tv. My interweb StumbleUpon has 281 favorite-d sites.
This is a sign that I should probably be, oh I don't know, SLEEPING! or at the very least, reading, drawing, doodling...some activity which doesn't involve me hunched over, incessantly clicking the trackpad or remote with my jaw dropped like some catatonic zombie. Maybe this is the peak of life for some people, but I sure hope I have more to accomplish. I shouldn't be too hard on myself given that it's spring break and next quarter will be challenging and busy.
Off to bed, lest I sleep through my haircut appointment! Snippety chop.

a personal "project"
It's nothing substantial, just something I should've created a while ago given my borderline creepy passion for music and song. I have decided to create top 10 lists by genre, of the __'s, etc... Porque/Pourquoi? Why not?! Besides, I'm just beginning to get better from my flu-thingymabob and I need to get this break started. Traveling, psh. It's list-making time.
As for the good ol' tube, since the list of what I watch goes on for miles, I can tell you that I'm not watching:
-The Nora Roberts 2009 collection [but I'm all for any new gossip about LeAnn Rimes' supposed caught-on-tape affair with her steamy co-star. Poor hubby]
-Toddlers and Tiaras [and I will not be watching WE's new Little Miss Perfect either, for that matter]
-trash reality tv [temporarily during break, I think my parents would cry]
-LOST. I gave up on remembering or attempting to figure out every reference, symbol, clue, polar bear, dharma station, let alone trying to remember what happens over the course of a single episode and all its flash____s.
-In the infomercial department, I've finally grown sick of Sham Wow--once you bought it, the excitement of seeing and must-having it over the tv fades away. I would like the Egg Genie, though.
Had I not caught the plague, I'd be camping with good company in Malibu, but I did so I am not. I am trying to cut down on the bad/stupid decision making. Though they have immediate rewards, I tend to regret such decisions (like if I'd left for camping today when I am finally getting better) as the foolishness and suckiness of those choices eventually reveal themselves. In other words, I want less FMLs and more HMLs (hail my life?) or AMLs (applaud my life?), you get the picture.
I also watched episode 2 of KINGS last night. YES. Not quite as mind-blowingly suspenseful to me as DAMAGES, but it's getting gooood. To no point whatsoever, here is a completely gratuitous picture of Egan.
Your welcome and good day.

the good that comes from being sick
Television. As regularly as I live like an immobile blob, this time I really haven't seen sunlight in four days.
I have no idea what I caught but this is one of the worst cases of the "sickies" I've had for a while. Actually, I would willingly wear those attractive medical masks (unintentional alliteration, how fun!) because I don't want my parents to catch what I have. Never before have I consumed such a large quantity of "over-the-counters" in such a short time span. Pill count: 16 Motrin, 10 Tylenol Sinus, 4 Sudafed, Completed 5/5 days of Azithromycin. I promise I'm not a fiend...
Now, a brain vomit about all the tv I've been watching this whole time...
Item 1. PRIMETIME ON DEMAND. Not only is there HBO, but also CBS, FX, USA and NBC: Chuck, Heroes, ER, FNL, 30 Rock, Office. Ahhhh
Item 2. Good genes. I believe I have figured out a most miraculous combination.
If Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, and Mark Valley magically had a baby...
You would get
Chris Egan! My new weekly dose of Aussie eye candy, compliments of
Item 2.5. NBC's new drama series, KINGS. Apparently, the premier received rather low ratings, but I assume it will quickly pick up a loyal cult fan base, myself included. The plot alone grabbed my attention because of it's premise as a Biblical allusion. I don't necessarily live my life by the book as a faith but I've always been intrigued by the Bible as a literary and historical text and am thus obsessed with the parallels they've already made. Egan's wholesome face and Ian McShane, whose face alone could tell a story, have good chemistry. Almost forgot! Sebastian Stan (Gossip Girl's Carter Baizen) is also on the show. This is important because I love Gossip Girl, perhaps also because he looks to be a promising villain. One last thing, Macaulay Culkin is supposed to be in the series at some point. I know, right?
Item 3. Token chick flick, THE HOLIDAY. Think what you will, but I found it positively charming and refreshing as a chick-flick/rom-com. Everything just worked. All the protagonists were troubled and complex enough that it wasn't overly cheesy. I was pleasantly surprised to see the great, now 93-year-old Eli Wallach, a true method actor who's been around since classic Hollywood (BABY DOLL; MAGNIFICENT SEVEN; THE GOOD, THE BAD, and THE UGLY). I've never been a huge fan of Jude Law, but he is surprisingly likeable in this film as all the protagonists are.
Item 4. The usual. Watching everything else that's on at any given time.
