Today was totally a weird ass day. I hope everyone near Virginia is ok. I know some of you live in VA. And for everyone else, just... start building boats. I saw somewhere on the news some lady said it's the most water she's ever seen. Um, sure. You were living under a rock during Katrina then, I guess. It's not torrential here but if I see a honey pot or umbrella float by with some forest animals in them, I'm hopping on.
As for other news, The Imus story is definitely huge in my school so we ended up talking about it yet again today. I want it to be over already. My views don't fit the majority of the class and having strangers pounce me is not on my list of "must do". And I forgot my calculator and we had a test in Math. But we spent so long reviewing that it got pushed to Weds. I love my class.
I spent a good hour and a half out in the rain today just because I wanted to. Ever had one of those days where you just don't want to be anywhere? Yeah. I wanted to be home so badly. And you know how you sometimes think you see something out of the corner of your eye and it's nothing? Well the women in my family (maybe some of you get it too, but it's only my mom, me and my sister that see this) from time to time see like human figures, almost like silhouettes. Sometimes they're dark gray, sometimes white. They're only ever around for 5 seconds at most. But I've been seeing them a lot lately, especially at school and it creeps me out. They're not scary, it's just shapes. But it's maybe three every five minutes at school. It's hard to focus on stuff when there's shapes moving about the campus or the library, disrupting you from whatever you're doing.
My music isn't helping either. I'm highly addicted to Amy Winehouse. I try to listen to one album at a time, and then listen to Chingon or Kane or Marky Mark or something else I adore, but in a few minutes I'm thinking about some song I adore, and scrolling the iPod/iTunes back up to 'A'. Ever get those kinds of ruts? I know it'll blow over eventually and I'll be in some other musical addiction, but it's kind of annoying once you know all the songs by heart but just can't help listening one more time.
And I missed a good half hour of "Dancing...". And obviously now there's three episodes of "Drive" I have too go find. BUT. Coming Soon came from Blockbuster, so screw the shows. It is time for floppy-haired James Roday. Once again, Psych (or it's star) saves the day.
Oh, also:
This wins. Trainspotting was good, but the sequel wasn't too amazing. But that may have been because of the way it was written. It wasn't written in dialect like Trainspotting was. So, maybe the movie will be better. Although the accomplishment of the movie wasn't making a good movie, but knowing which characters from the book would make the best sense in the movie. So that's what I'm looking forward to now. P had a lot of funny characters-- I'd say more than Trainspotting, just not as interestingly written.
This picture is adorable. I don't like paparazzi pictures, but at least you can't see the kids faces well. And this picture is hysterical. I almost woke people up this morning when I saw that. LOL

P.S. And hey, what do you know today's the anniversary of the Titanic sinking. I don't know what that has to do with anything, but I didn't know that. Heh.
And Happy Birthday Sean Maher! *waves Browncoat flag*

Everything tragic happens in April, no?

Date: 2007-04-18 03:08 am (UTC)I guess I complained enough because today I woke up wanting to hear The Departed soundtrack. Whee!
Apparently! Should we be concerned?

One time tons of kids in my history class just started asking tons of questions so we could get a quiz pushed back. The teacher got quite mad at all of us for that. But it was still funny.
James makes even the worst days better :)

Date: 2007-04-18 03:10 am (UTC)LOL those are the best moments.
He was only in about twenty minutes of the movie, and most of the time it's the back of his head. :-S Still, better than nothing.

Date: 2007-04-17 07:54 pm (UTC)Those shapes are freaky. Could it be a vision thing? Or a neurological thing?
It's been crazy raining up here. Like, almost nonstop. Alas, April showers bring May flowers.
no subject
Date: 2007-04-18 03:12 am (UTC)I don't know. My eyes aren't perfect but I'd assume its neurological.
safhsafdafsa but this is like...... April rivers. What do those bring?

Date: 2007-04-18 11:03 am (UTC)It seems more brain-centered. I can't imagine what in your eyes would cause shapes, but the brain is a silly place.
I have no clue? Rain forests?
no subject
Date: 2007-04-18 06:13 pm (UTC)That it is. O_O And I've never been brain scanned. Maybe I need one :/
Possibly! You'd need trees for that though. And uh, there's trees here but it's far from rain forest-y.

Date: 2007-04-18 09:51 pm (UTC)When I was a wee lass, I had a brain catscan. I had to stay really really still. Not fun.
Oh, we have loads of trees here. You have Central park, let's see what that will be like. 10,000 foot trees.

Date: 2007-04-19 12:56 am (UTC)I could imagine. I'm fidgety now, imagine as a child!
That's true. We have loads of parks, but you can still see the sky in between the trees if you look up. That could be also because it's winter and they're bare XD

Date: 2007-04-17 11:35 pm (UTC)0mg, i read about the Trainspotting sequel thing. I never read the books, so i wouldn't know. heh.
LOL @ the Matt Damon pics.
Did you watch Drive on Sunday and Monday?
no subject
Date: 2007-04-18 03:14 am (UTC)Ha. The first was better. I think there's a third but I'm not sure.
I was dying at those! He's a dork.
No! I was watching other stuff. I forgot it was two hours on Sunday. Now I have three hours to dl!
