Master Procrastinator

I really should be working on my Buildings and Climate project, but I'm not. It is very hard to be motivated when you know Fall Break's only a week and a half away. I'm not exactly doing anything out of the ordinary, just going home and having me some home cooked meals. yum! In the meantime, I am going to rip off a survey from a friend who ripped it off someone else's blog.

Blue...I'm trying to incorporate more color into my wardrobe but alas I am a sucker for blue.

Crazy Game of Taboo

Friday night's party consisted of 12 mildly buzzed college students playing Taboo -- guys vs. girls. When we finished, they guys were up by 15 points. But then again we agreed to switch scores when the girls were leading by 40! So technically, girls won by a 55-point margin. But no one really cared. Aaaah, the memorable things we said....

Justin: People do this...
Greg (first thing out of his mouth): Knit!!!!

Kristin: Brad Pitt
All 6 girls: Hot!!!!!!

Justin: I read this when........
Greg (interrupts): Porn!

Lorenzo: What person says "trolley car" nowadays?!

Shraddha: To get good grades we do this..
Joanne: Study...review...revise...edit!

Someone: Girls who are desperate are...
Someone else: HORNY!!!

Welcome to the '80s

I love '80s movies because they're unpretentious and poignant. They don't try to make a big statement by bombarding us with crazy plotlines and a million twists. (Although there are many undeniably good movies that use these "tricks") The story is simple and yet it sucks you in and leave you very satisfied.

Due to an unexpected desire to see Andrew McCarthy's smile, I impulsely went to the friendly neighborhood Blockbuster to rent Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles. (Two words: Jake Ryan) Big disappointment! All the copies of Sixteen Candles are out and they don't even carry Pretty in Pink. What the F? So I browsed the store and picked up Say Anything. John Cusack + Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" = a good time. I also picked up St. Elmo's Fire because Andrew McCarthy's in it since I was not about to give up my weekend quest of seeing a movie with him in it. Both movies are awesome! I admit they're chick-flicky but they don't do chick flicks like that anymore (with the exception of Garden State and Almost Famous).

Enough about that fashion disaster of a decade called the '80s. I'll leave you with a quote from very funny Napoleon Dynamite. (I promise next time there'd be a blog on Fight Club and Chuck Palahniuk's gritty novels. Just to even it all out.)

Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills. You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills...

Stuck

Although i haven't really been here this late this semester, it just seems like i've been here forever. And i'm not even talking about it being midnight or sometime around that. it's only 8:30 PM for goodness' sake! I'm waiting for my 30-second animation to finish rendering. I guess i could use this next hour to do something productive...say, churn out some drawings for Friday's desk crit or go build a model in the woodshop...but my brain's dead. it has been since 3 this afternoon. plus, this building is uber cold. i know it has something to do with how the building operates, but geez...do they really have to turn the A/C to full blast every time?!

I'm ending the b**ching right now.
Gotta love the A-school.

Past, Present, Future

Last TV show I watched: a rerun of That '70s Show
Listening to right now: Garden State soundtrack. It really captures the mood of the movie. One of the best OST ever. The other one I like is the soundtrack to Almost Famous.
First class tomorrow morning: ARCH 101 - I have to attend lectures so I know what's going on. Plus, I have to return the papers I've graded to their owners.

And so...

Why is it that everytime I see someone else's blog I feel like posting a new one, but when I get to actually do it, I can't think of anything to write? Am I out of stories to tell? Is it because I feel that there is nothing quite as interesting for me to share? Am I boring or just bored?

This is my last year in college and I'm trying to make the most of it. I'm a teaching assistant for Architecture 101: Lessons of the Lawn and/or Architecture as a Covenant with the World, Again. An extremely long formal course name can only come from one of the eccentric and yet beloved professor in the school. Two of us are facilitating a discussion group of 8 students. I'm also taking 19 credits, which is crazy since i haven't done that and i decided to do it this semester. I'm a fourth year, but I'm not about to take it easy. I still volunteer but not as much. I'm still a member of OYFA. I'm working, too. It's a busy semester to say the least, but I'm having a great time...so far. We threw our first party the Friday before the first home football game. (We still have jell-o shots if you want some.)
