google maps is the best

I'm tempted to buy tickets for the Bat for Lashes UK tour but the problem is I have no idea which date is closest to Norwich and I don't know my schedule either. I suppose the London dates are the closest but I have no idea how long it'll take me to travel, which is kind of important since the dates are Monday and Tuesday. =/ Plus tickets are kinda pricey....ughhh.

I guess I can always see Bat for Lashes at Outside Lands. Tickets for that is extremely expensive but the good thing is that it's in GGP so it might be possible to sneak in. Or I could volunteer to get in for free...

Work was boring today. After the mandatory training seminar [which was two hours long and made me feel as though I were in high school again, but whatevs, it's paid], I walked several blocks to the office and then copied and pasted more files. After a half an hour, I was invited to grab lunch with a couple of the workers [I guess they're my coworkers now...? Though it's weird to say that since I am on the lowest rung of the coporate ladder. I don't really see them as my peers...] which was really nice, but awkward. The place where we ate was sort of like a buffet...$8.95 for a pound of food! I silently weeped for my wallet as I walked around. I tried to put light food items on my plate but it still ended up costing around $7.40 including tax. :(

Anyway, it was awkward because they talked about their personal lives and coworkers [office gossip] and just sat there listening to the conversation. I mean, it's not like I could really chime in or anything....plus I was kind of preoccupied with the meatball that seemed determined to land on my pants.

my baby shot me down

So the other day Spike had a Kill Bill marathon (though I'm not really sure if it's really a marathon if there are only two volumes..? Anyway) in honor of David Carradine which was awesome because I love those movies so much.

After watching both back to back I went on imdb.com like I always do after watching movies and read the ridiculous message board postings. I had no idea, but apparently there are two different versions of the Crazy 88 fight? Anyway, someone posted a link to the original [which is in color], seen only in the Japanese version of Vol 1.

Pretty cool!

Oh and today was my first day as an intern for Integra. I basically copy and pasted files for about 4 hours but it's paid so I can't complain. I need to find something in addition to to this internship because I need to start saving up for the fall! I'm even skipping Comic Con because I'm going to be so poor. :(

LEGEND

We'll miss ya, Michael.

why I love..

....the library (when they're not charging me ridiculous fines)

"Persepolis," "Thumbsucker," "Raising Arizona," and "History Boys."

....the "Scott Pilgrim" series

SHE PUNCHED THE HIGHLIGHTS OUT OF YOUR HAIR!

I'm so excited for this movie!

It's official

My brother is a fucking dick.

I never realized how many random numbers I have memorized

Social Security Number
PIN
school ID number/PAC
old library card number [which is the PIN for my library account]
phone numbers [immediate family and a few friends'..most are stored in my phone]
old MasterLock combinations
birthdays

ETA:

Looking at my financial aid stuff right now...holy shit I am going to be broke as fuck next year. :(

And I'm probably going to be swamped in loans for the rest of my life.

.........

Right now, I hate being at home. I cannot wait to leave.

I miss the hot weather already.

fml

My History of Film Music paper is due tomorrow by 4pm and I haven't picked a topic yet.

WRITER'S BLOCK SUCKS.

ACTUALLY JUST NOT KNOWING WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT SUCKS.

Man, VHS's are the best. 

courtesy of: omgthatrocks

te quiero

from the 9pm Berkeley show.

I laugh and melt when Jemaine says "Oh my God, that is it."

I knew this was coming up and yet, I was still unprepared. I died when it happened.

I'm really stressed out....and I don't know what to do. 

I'd really like to crawl back into bed right now and not think about finals and money and summer. 

I went back in my posted links on facebook

and found the first thing I ever posted

Another song that I forgot how much I liked.

CMN 3 final in about 12 hours. I haven't studied but I'm not too worried. It shouldn't be too hard. 

I'm really stressed out right now. About a lot of things. 

lkj;lkjalskdjf;ldj

I can't seem to catch a break. 

There's a thunder storm outside right now

I can't believe that tomorrow's the last day of class. This year went by extremeley fast. I can't say it was as fun as freshmen year, but it was enjoyable. For the first time, I am not looking forward to summer because I have no idea what I'm doing.

Listening to this right now:

The Greatest - Cat Power

I don't even know why [and I'm slightly ashamed to admit it] but I liked "17 Again"...a lot actually. It was a cute movie and let me escape for about an hour and a half. Plus the soundtrack is pretty good.
