that’s right. that IS number 28, mr. paul gaustad, future husband slash acquaintance. and yes. he is within like a FOOT of my head and our hands are almost touching. *sigh*
so it was pretty much the greatest day ever September 30, 2007
stella says hi September 27, 2007
once again, i’m feeling lazy, so this entry will be mostly pictures and un-ordered lists (remember that from mgs351? -, etc). ok i lied, these are mostly little blurbs rather than lists. and the one list is ordered… its numbered. and no pictures. whatever. i should have just deleted and re-written the first sentence, but instead i just keep writing. wow.
IN OTHER NEWS
my contacts are really messed up so i often have to take one out in the middle of the day (usually while on campus). this has resulted in much one-eyed driving and many more headaches than necessary. i don’t really know what to do since… well i just don’t know what to do. i guess i could call my optometrist. nah.
i am performing tomorrow night (well tonight since its now 1am) at the CFA in a poetry collaboration project. thing. with dancers. and poetry. and weirdness. at least our dance has music… some of the pieces are just people reading a poem and dancers dancing. i’m not autistic artistic enough for those type of performances. i would probably just giggle. i guess i’m not mature enough.
PODCASTS I HAVE BEEN ENJOYING LATELY
i have recently discovered the majesty of podcasts. i have always detested them based on their name alone, i thought they were stupid because they were another corny mutation of iGhey slash Apple/Mac lingo. but now i have fully embraced their corniness (and free of chargeness) and am now a believer. i have seen the light.
so for all of you (equal: no one) who also enjoy podcasts, i will list the ones that i have found particularly interesting. they are all based around my driving habits since that is when i listen to them. because i’m a huge dork and like to listen to audiobook-ish things. apparently the parental-o-meter from last entry didn’t gauge horrible interests because then i would totally be kenzilla. audiobooks and all. (oooh unordered list!!! see i didnt lie)
- Grammar Girl – because haven’t you ever wondered if the past tense of hang is hanged or hung?? (see episode 34) her episodes are short and sweet, meaning i can listen to a whole one from the CFA to Hadley (about 4-5 minutes)
- NPR: Selected Shorts – because i like stories. each episode generally has two to three short stories, usually one contemporary and one not-so much. i usually like the first story better, but maybe it has something to do with my attention span. i listen to these from my aparment to north campus (about 15-20 minutes per story).
- Savage Lovecast – because dan savage cuts through the bullshit and tells a-holes when they’re being a-holes, etc. and i enjoy listening to him cut people down. i am evil. these usually take two trips (to north and back, or to pilates and then to north)
those are three that i’m sold on for now. i will let you know when i like a new one. cause i know you’re waiting with baited breath. ooh podcast. so sexy. and now a random cat picture because i said i didn’t have pictures and now aren’t you surprised?
okbye.
boys like girls – the great escape (and the office!) September 25, 2007
so with the return of the office, i am making a mixed-media recommendation. look at me. recommending tv shows for you to watch and music for you to listen to.
anyway, here is a pam + jim (pb and j? jam?) tribute that is set to boys like girls’ “the great escape”, which is also the name of a theme park near my house. it all works! i really like this version of the song
here is the band, boys like girls, that made the song ‘the great escape’
and here is the great escape that’s near my house.
portico and the pack September 18, 2007
took a little vacay. here is the new muzak. since i can’t find the videos for these songs, i’ll just tell ya about em. cause that’s what you do.
- Portico. is fking awesome. or at least their song ‘Sincerely’ is. unfortunately they’re all canadian and stuff and therefore they have no place i can link to to play the song. [EDIT: except here. ]
- The Pack’s “Bang”. all screechy and angsty. i love it. you can hear it here.
i’ve got to stop listening to the CBC podcast. i hear all these good songs and can never find them! argh!
surprise surprise September 16, 2007
so i look like my mom by a billion % more then kenzilla. quel surprise.
something i bet you didn’t know:
nate looks like rob reiner (whoever that is, thank you wikipedia) and i look like angelina jolie. these results make me slightly more suspicious of myheritage.com.
emmy rossum – slow me down September 11, 2007
even though emmy rossum was “fugged” on gofugyourself, i still like her voice. even though she is a complete knock off of imogen heap, i still like the song. even though she’s only a year younger than me and has been in like 500 movies, meh.. just listen/watch the song/video. enjoi.
a school haiku September 5, 2007
morning draws closer
so does school. sleep? nah, fk it.
first class is at two
maroon 5 – miss you, love you September 4, 2007
yet another song i can not get out of my head, but for now, don’t mind so much. i loooooove the chorus so much and the rest of the song is typical maroon 5 stuff. i’m actually addicted to the entire new maroon 5 album, it won’t be soon before long. its not that the songs are terribly deep (aka the first lyrics of this song: “this has not been easy/this has been hard”) or meaningful, but they’re so addicting!! i like their “new” sound this album has – especially ‘back at your door’ and ‘figure it out’.
enjoy 
lazy is louder than words September 1, 2007
trying to make up for a month’s lack of posting is kind of hard, so i’ll just not try.
and because i’m lazy (see last post) i will use pictures instead of words.
