Free points to the person who finds the pic of a guy in my blog template. I didn't put him there, for the record...the guy who's picture it is designed the template...anyway, kudos to whoever finds it.

Exhaustion.

Ok. I have to work in the morning, at 9 am, and I'm seriously considering staying up later. I'm exhausted though, and I have no reason to stay up. What is this? Is this just me missing freshman year when I could stay up as late as I wanted on Friday nights because I had nothing to do on Saturdays? I am such a slacker. I haven't even worked on my homework...though I have painted a pumpkin for the guy I'm a secret santa for in Choir...we all were supposed to paint a pumpkin. Anyway, I'm really tired, yet I'm staying up. Oh well...maybe I'll head to bed soon...we'll see.

New blog....and panda dog.

As you all can tell, I decided to change the look of my blog a bit...I was going to do a different template, that I really like a lot better, but it had some bad code, so we're working on fixing that. Meanwhile, I do like this one as well, so it's here to stay for awhile.

Amanda, I saw these pictures, and I thought of you. Were you to get a dog, this would be the one to get. Yes, it really is a dog.

P.S. I don't know where the title of the blog went, but I'll deal with that later, when I don't have homework to finish. I'll add my links back in too...the links that are there are the default ones for this template....one's the guy who designed it, so if you like it, feel free to check it out...he's got some really incredible ones....be warned...template #50 is the one I had trouble with.

Much needed updates.

Yay! My sister Susan is having a baby! I get to be an aunt...again! :) I'm very excited.

I'm currently sitting in my apartment, when I should be at class. I woke up late today, and since I know today in this particular class we're just doing group work, which means we sign the attendance sheet and then my group heads off to the library, while I don't necessarily like having the absence on my record, I won't be missing anything. I'll just have to be careful to give myself more time from now on to get ready.

Chris and I are talking about making the wedding invitations...we're both going to make up some samples and go from there. I'm looking at getting this stamp that's made specifically for invitations, that has event, date, time, etc. on it, and then you write beside it. I realize the writing will be time-consuming, but I can always do a few a day once we get started, and just write on the info later, once we've got everything worked out. We'll see.

I've got a big test coming up on Friday, so I think I'm going to go now and review for it. Wish me luck!

My most recent favorite pictures...

The first picture is called Mafia Music. The second, Nerds Unite! These are both shirts you can buy on Threadless. Unfortunately, the Nerds Unite one is sold out right now, but if you request one, that'll add to the count, and they may reprint it sooner. You don't actually have to follow through and buy it just if you request it, but it helps those of us who want to buy it (hint hint!) to be able to do so sooner.

Hope you like the pictures!

Threadless T-Shirts

Once again, I"m hanging out in my A&I class, before it starts, for once, and I'm bored. I have to say though, my shirt is quite fun. (Random, I know) It says "We'll be safe in this dark, creepy barn." You all have to check out threadless.com....link in title. It's so worth checking out! There are a bunch of hilarious, awesome shirts....actually, Amanda? There's this perfect shirt for you called Pandemonium...but if you get it, get a guys size...all the girls shirts are baby doll tees and horribly uncomfortable...the guys shirts are nice.

That's all for now! Class is about to start.

Random stuff, halloween costume

So here's just a random post. I'm sitting in my room listening to "Everything (Is Never Quite Enough)" by Wasis Diop. It's actually a pretty good song....it's off the Thomas Crown Affair soundtrack, which is a good movie, with the exception of the one racy sex scene. Chris is sitting next to me reading some mac forum. We're both eventually going to get to homework, but I think we're both avoiding it right now. I'll get to it within the hour for sure....I need to go over and practice tonight.

Oh, Amanda...Cynical Idealist halloween costume?
Let's see....
I'd have comfortable, open toed shoes, probably my new brown flip-flops, jeans, and a black shirt with a rhinestone pumpkin on it. I'm not much for rhinestones, or pumpkins for that matter, but that's probably the only "Halloween wear" that I would wear...I'd have funky earrings, probably big "chandelier" earrings, and I'd have my hair pinned back into weird curls with about 40 bobby pins. As far as makeup, I'd do black eyeliner under my lids (sounds weird, but it works and looks good) and mascara, maybe some eyeshadow and lipgloss if I feel like making more of an effort. I'd have my nails done cool...probably orange with the pumpkin faces on them, and I'd have my toes painted nice too, I don't know what color. Random other accessories? Some sort of a giant purse, with a book in it, probably Sense and Sensibility, since I'm trying to finish that now, and lots of chapstick and lipgloss, and my wallet and keys.

I think that's about it. I should really get to my homework now.....I don't wanna! Oh well, I don't think my profs care if I want to or not. :)

More about my homework blog.

Hey everyone! This will just be a quick update, since I have to be to work at 11, and I still need to make lunch and change. I just wanted to let you know that I've made more updates to my homework blog. I'll be blogging there quite a bit, (at least compared to my track record with this blog....I'll try to improve that too...) since I have to have "a cultural experience" at least once every week and write about it. There are also links in that pages sidebar to go to other parts of the site where my class notes and papers are. While I know it's for class, none of it's been really boring yet, except the book review thing, so you all may actually enjoy the posts there. Just a heads up. Ok, off to work now!

Updates.

Hey all! I know that I've been bad about blogging. I'm sitting in my arts and Identity class right now, and I just thought I'd all let you know that I have yet another new blog. elythrashomework.blogspot.com This blog is for one of my classes, the one I'm sitting in now, actually. I submit homework on there, and then my prof checks the archives at midterm and the end of the semester. I've got one paper on there....enjoy it if you can follow it...it's a book review.

My Wedding Website

Hi guys! I can't remember if I blogged about this, so I just thought I would again, just in case. I have a website that talks about wedding details, and you can (eventually) RSVP to the wedding there. It's a fair assumption that if you read my blog, you are invited....with the exception of random strangers who happened across it. Anyway, here's the site...
