how much must some people hate their cousins?

tuesday-things that displease me

• that i didn't wake up in time to do yoga this morning (or more accurately, i snoozed my way into waking up too late to do yoga this morning)
• that two of my credit/debit cards are expiring and i forget where i put their replacements. blast.

monday-things that please me

• that someone in bermuda reads this
• that i found my camera wire
• the ditty bops

friday-things that amuse me

that my cat keeps trying to drown her toy mouse in her water dish

thursday-things that make the heart beat faster

the moment before a kiss

wednesday-things that are orange

tuesday-things that displease me

insomnia--the condition, not the movie. i quite like the movie with stellan skarsgård. didn't see the remake, though i bet it's not as good.

also displeased that when you look up insomnia in imdb the original is under "other results" while the remake and a friends episode appear under "popular results."

but maybe i'm just snarky because i didn't sleep. . .

monday-things that please me

bond, james bond

also--craig, daniel craig

i'm a bit of a james bond junkie. i haven't seen all, but many, and i think that casino royale was just what was needed to keep the james bond franchise from imploding on itself.

• craig plaid the character as if no one else had ever slipped into that dinner jacket before.
• the writers stopped trying to write dr. no again (don't get me wrong, dr. no is still the best one--but it is of its time).
• there was a pretty fantastic parkour sequence in the beginning, i think entirely written to make the audience say "pierce who?"
• eva green allows you to forget that they ever made denise richards a nuclear physicist.

friday-things that amuse me

wait wait . . . don't tell me

thursday-things that make the heart beat faster

finding the big envelope with my handwriting in the mail, knowing that it contained the exam i was sure i bottomed out on, as i hadn't slept in several days when i sat for it and had forgotten everything i ever knew about blake.

i did okay though. and he liked the paper.

now i wait for the big envelope from my history professor.

old picture since i still can't find the cable...

tuesday-things that displease me

that i can't find my camera wire

monday-things that please me

long weekends and early sorkin marathons (one presidents' day, nix and i watched the entire run of sports night)(best show ever)

we've made it to season 3 of the west wing. i've slept for many, many hours. i've barely left my pajamas since thursday night.

i'm going to be sad to go back to real life tomorrow.

this

(here if you can't open itunes)

(here on youtube)

tuesday-things that displease me

that this past weekend it was almost 70 degrees and i couldn't go outside because of my paper, and that this coming weekend, despite the fact i will have no paper, it will be 38 and raining.

monday-things that please me

panto!

there is nothing like a dame...

friday-things that amuse me

abigail breslin in little miss sunshine

i thought she was amazing. i thought that this was one of the only good movies i saw this year, and i'm heartbroken that it (and she) will be completely ignored come oscar season.

thursday-things that make the heart beat faster

the opening credits from chariots of fire

i tried to find the clip on youtube, but apparently anyone with access to a beach has filmed themselves re-making it, and i'm running late already. here's another scene from the movie.

tuesday-things that displease me

hello again, fishes. i'm back! i'm tired, i don't have nearly enough homework done and i'm on the verge of a panic attack, so it's just like i never left! i hope everyone had a nice holiday.

things that displease me

• going back to work after ten days off
• trying to remember that it's 2007
• cheap champagne headaches (i hope that nu & shrew had a better yesterday than nix & myself! ye gods)
