A Picspam, I bring it you.
(No specific meme, just an overload)

Yes, yes, you can just skip over it and ignore my ridiculousness...but...it's goin' up anyway.

Granted, this obsession leans more towards the...nontraditional side of things...you know, taste-wise? )

Yep.............Man, I need to find something better to do with my time.
But anyway, add a few more names to the list of random British men I adore.

Leave me a comment and I will give you a letter. Then, write 12 things that you love starting with that letter. Post the list in your journal. Give out letters to those who comment in return.
Or don't leave a comment, whichever one you want really--I just enjoy doing random memes.

Giacomo gave me the letter S.
As they enter my brain:

1. Sidney Poitier
2. Scythian (ha, how did that not happen first?)
3. Sippin' on chai tea (that totally counts...even if I'm technically not supposed to)
4. Sleep!
5. Sillyness
6. Stephen Fry
7. Spaced
8. Smooth, sexy gentlemen
9. Star Trek (heh...)
10. Snakes (are actually really cool and I do love them...)
11. Sunshine
12. Snow

Too many parenthesis?

p.s./EDIT: oh man, you know what I haven't done in a really long time? A Picspam...I...might have to do that again soon...in light of this most recent FlashObsession. Jeez...

Boo  
I drove with Greenlight today...it upset to me to some extent.
I just made me feel rather dumb, I wasn't used to the guy's car so I was all jerky--and he kept trying to teach me...you know, actual, real driving techniques and I'm not used to that b/c I've been learning the cheats with Jessie and I was going to make this a really long run on sentence but I think I'll stop it here.
Anyway, I don't think it will *remain* that unpleasant...but I've already decided I don't really care for my driving instructor. Mostly b/c he makes me feel stupid.
Great.

I ought to get out of bed...and I'm really about to do that. It's just that it's rather comfortable where I am right now and my mom hasn't given me any strict orders about what to do today.
Ok ok, here I go--definitely getting up now. Up!
Well, I'll get there eventually.

Sometimes I wish I could be more philosophical...but for the moment I'm going to talk about Monty Python.

Here, FlashObsession under the cut b/c it kind of has turned into a FlashObsession )

Other than that life has been rather mellow these past few days.
I'm still having odd chest pains but I'm determined to start some sort of exercise routine tomorrow--and I hope that helps.
Oh, I got to see Idy on Saturday. I hung out at her house actually, her parents weren't too terrifying this time around. We actually played a board game...

I can't decide if I want to upload the rest of the BBiF episodes all in one go--or put them up in increments...For some reason I feel like they would get less views in one big batch? Or will people become less interested if they have to wait?
I dunno...people probably don't actually care.
But in any case, it is in fact finished.
Aah...

Listening to an interesting narrative/radio thing performed by Dylan Moran.
A husband goes on some sort of expedition to the arctic after having some sort of row with is wife? He's accompanied by his wife's younger brother. The story is told through the husband's entries on a tape recorder.
And...things don't seem to be going well.

check it out

ETA: Road Trip!

Road Trip, Celtic Fling Music Festival:

~Air banded to Scythian's Tuesday Mornings with Giacomo, good and fun but also quite embarrassing in retrospect (and, well, at the time too). But the boys took it well
~Awkward in front of the Scythian boys again, probably infuriated Jackie--as per usual--by stalling right in front of them.
~Trevor, guitarist from Enter the Haggis, remembered us from a previous festival (where we didn't even talk to him, he just remembered us from the crowd...ok, it was a small crowd up front--but still!)
~Seeing Albannach again and getting caught up in their wild energy all over again. Jamesie may be the Scottish love of my life
~Wow, also weigh less--though I can't be quite sure exactly how much b/c my scale is slightly broken.
~Enter the Haggis felt a lot more impressive this time around (Don't get me wrong, I really liked them the first time around but the crowd and proper festival-vibe helped out)
~Introducing Maggie to our bands and her enjoying the experience--and in turn enjoying her comedy tracks in the car on the way to and from PA

Overall it was a good weekend, I could go into more detail but that always turns out to be rather boring to anyone who's not me, soo...

Also, I just did something rather stupid--but it will most likely be overlooked by the recipient b/c that is the kind of relationship we have. Yeah, I may have gone and written on Joey's wall about a certain something I made ages ago...

-Got up at an ungodly hour to arrive at VCU sometime around 7:30 and check in
-so many, many powerpoints
-a surprising amount of smokers but I guess that's art students for you
-legs got incredibly cramped/sore by the end end of the day (sitting in poorly spaced seats), achy-ness kept me awake most of the night
-met a fair amount of chill people in our little orientation-group. Roomed with one girl who was quite nice and spent a while chatting with her and another girl from VA. Groovy
-Got another person to think I was British for a moment
-Adviser was really nice and schedule seems workable. Tuesdays are kind of busy but Wed. has only one class while Friday is free. Also, early class on Saturdays but that shouldn't be too bad. (Calculus takes up three days, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday. erg. But I'm getting it out of the way!)
-food in the cafeteria wasn't bad...
-had a rather bizarre dream involving Gene Wilder
-VCU IDcard now in possession--and I managed not to look too horrible considering how tired I was

-Home now! And totally wiped out...

Well, this will probably never happen--but I'm writing it down anyway!
It's good to keep in mind for future projects...
So! Giacomo, do you remember "Creative Profanity"--it was one of the ideas floating around before we settled on BBiF. Just another one of those little indie things filled with indie movie moments.
Well! At some point I'd like to put together all those little scenes and moments that have made me/us/whoever go "man, this would be great in an indie movie"--and mash them together into a fake trailer.
Mostly I want to do this because I really want to use Voltaire's 'Hell in a Hand Basket' song in the background, heh...

the ones I can remember right now )

feel free to contribute (though somehow I doubt it...) anything that comes to mind

I need to figure out how to get to sleep earlier.
And how to un-tensify myself.

Well my new Laptop is here, he's pretty spiffy. Although this probably means I'm going to spend even more time doing nothing on the internet when I could be sleeping.
(I think I'm slowly developing insomnia by the way, I need to figure out some sort regular-sleepy-time-pattern)
Anne Hathaway is on tv.
Oh and that actor, I wish I could remember his name.
Anyway.
I do wish I had more significant things to say when I posted here.
But I don't, so I'm going to wander off. Lah dee dah.
(Hmm...for some reason my mac reads my external harddrive as write-protected or something and I can't copy files over to it. Does anybody know how to fix that?)

I could be doing something more productive right now but...

My iTouch is supposed to get here today--supposedly it's on the Fedex truck riding around C'ville--but it hasn't showed up yet. So I'm waiting impatiently. (The computer isn't due until next week).

Meanwhile I'm feeling mostly normal today! Which is a relief.

I don't have much else to report, alas, my life is rather uneventful.

Jessie's gone off to Vermont to take a 9-week study-course-thingy in Japanese. She's getting back the day after I leave for VCU.
Gilly might be working in a chocolate factory in Japan? I don't have to full details on that one...

Hum, according to the scale in Jessie's apartment, I'm now 118 lbs...
Is it bad that I see that as the plus side to all this unwellness?

But! I finally went to the doctor yesterday and they're pretty sure it's stress mixed with anxiety mixed with caffeine. So! I must give up my addiction for the time being...which I was doing well with until yesterday. I was caffeine-free for three days until we went out to lunch yesterday (before the doctor visit) and this morning when I had a Chai Frappocinno :/
But no more after this! Not until things finally settle down. I've been feeling better today, just a bit of a headache which probably is due to getting up early (to take Jessie to the dentist, more driving wee!) and not entirely sleeping well.
Oh, and they drew some blood just to make sure I'm not having thyroid issues. Just in cases.

OH! But Wait! We ordered my computer yesterday! A MacBook Pro, all fancy and lots of memory. Plus! Since I was college student we got a discount as well as a free iPod Touch! Weeee. The computer is supposed to ship in a couple days while the iTouch was already shipped apparently? Anyway....George...you're going to have to help me figure it out, at least a little bit.
But I'm super excited.

Today we're going to cash my graduation checks and then I'll have my money for the road trip and that will be grand.

For now I'm going to go read my VCU summer reading: MAUS a Survivor's Tale
(World War Two as depicted by mice and cats ans other such animals...it's interesting. I'm sure you've heard of it)

Aah, so life is going on.
Graduation happened yesterday--which would have been fine if my arms hadn't gone all tingly again in the middle of the ceremony and I hadn't felt nauseous during dinner.
But! I am graduated!
And that's a cool thing. And tomorrow morning we're going to stop by Best Buy and take a look at some macs.

Today was spent hanging out with friends, chill and groovy.
Plus Maggie is a good source of entertainment when playing charades.
Oh, also--Giacomo and I are forever spiritually connected to Doc Holliday. Definitely. It's obvious.

Aaaaaand...yes.
