I am kind of boring!

[schmerica]

Things that I appreciate today:

+ I spent an hour or two using the UO library to find articles for my sociolinguistics class -- we have to turn in a reference list tomorrow, with a list of five articles on a topic we'll write a review paper about next month -- and OH MAN. Sometimes I love school! LEARNING IS AWESOME. Seriously, what is awesomer than researching native language instruction and its role in language revitalization of indigenous American languages? (The answer is: very few things.)

+ This post of geeklite's wins Post of the Day on my friends list.

+ I have been watching Ugly Betty since this weekend (through 1x11 "Swag" so far), thanks to an anonymous benefactor (not anonymous to *me*, but anonymous in the sense that I'm not telling you all. Um. Yes). I am not totally on board with the show yet, but I am enjoying it quite a bit -- it's funny and charming and such. The balance of the reality of Betty's home life and the over-the-top melodrama and satire of most of the Mode plots is kind of hard to get used to. Also, I want Betty to dump her gross boyfriend and hook up with Jake 2.0 and have adorable bespectacled babies who just know useless facts. *cough*

+ speshope is a ridiculously nice, generous, giving person, and I am really lucky to have her as a friend.

+ New Jen Garner movie out this weekend.

+ Now it is time to watch NCIS!

Things that are annoying me:

+ I went to go cook lunch today and our 9x13 pan is nowhere to be found. I was looking forward to trying out a new yummy-sounding baked pasta recipe! :(

+ Still nowhere close to having a job.

+ I'm still annoyed with myself over my school attendance these first few weeks, and need to start over and do BETTER.

All in all, though, I think that is a pretty good ratio! I approve of today. *thumbs up*

Admittedly, the very latest episode (I caught up with the rest this evening) was pretty great.

And ZOMG the last five minutes twist. If they do half the awesomely fucked up stuff they could with it, I'm going to be so wriggly.
