Best of luck with the rest of the week. You should design a new tattoo for yourself, or watch Resident Evil and utilize the pause button on all those lovely shots of Milla... I dunno...I sympathize with the frustrating day.

Hehe, yes, that would be a preferable form of excercise. I dunno, that sounds like the genesis of some of the worst pickup lines in history ("If you think I have endurance here.."). Hmm, if I ever want to work on that form of endurane again I'd better not.

Next time, I'll read to you from your sexy book so that your hands will be free for more interesting pursuits.

Awww, you're special regardless of other people being in Cleveland.

Retreat to your fortress of solitude, crack open a nice red and wait for me.

I think Tolstoy's (paraphrased) insight that "all happy families are alike, but all unhappy families are different in their own way" is a good analogy. I may be wrong, but it seems to be that there are many more varities of being eveil than being good, which tends to make the former more compelling...

Yeah, if we can just get an all-night music store open here. I can actually make sure to spend my entire paycheck before Monday.
I am addicted to urban life, which will make my inevitable placement at Eastern Mississippi Tech all the more depressing...

Actual text of an excuse I received this week. It's like even he new the first one wouldn't fly, and then invented some more bullshit to try to put it over. Ugh. But at least he called he sir!

"Sir;
It was my mistaken impression, somehow, that the response paper was due on the 29th of January and not the 27th. I was ill on the 21st through the 27th,
and including today (however I am feeling better today) with stomach cramps, and severe dehydration however I did not go to the doctor because my health insurance has lapsed and it costs me money I don't have to go. I did not intentionally miss the deadline, and I am wondering if (while the syllabus says no exceptions, I know) there might possibly be an exception for a grade-point reduction or something? I have looked at my other classes to see if there was anything due on the 29th, I am not really aware of where that date came from or
why it's firmly lodged in my brain as the due date."

Heh. I wasn't as serious a student as i should have been when i got my BFA. I did work my ass off, and did everything on time, got good grades, etc.
When i went to GM for my automotive degree, i was as serious as a heart attack - Dean's list or President's list every semester.
It helps if the student is paying for it themselves, and they are studying something they enjoy.
Those late students can learn now that there is no do-over in real life. You miss a big deadline at work, you get fired.
C'est la vie.

I think you, me, and Jessica should start a "slothful graduate student" club.
I wrote about it a bit in my journal, but the party went well enough, thanks for asking. I guess I would say that it was a risk I needed to take, and it went very well on those terms. If that makes sense.
Happy day off!

Hey, being a grad student and all and still part of the ivory tower, if you happen to hear of any peace protests or political rallies going on in the area would you pass them on? My ties to my liberal arts alma mater aren't much use on the activism front any more since it's a bit out of the way for me now...*sigh*
Thanks for the ink/piercing info, btw. It'll probably be a bit before I can afford to get anything done though. Some friends of mine actually got some work done at the piercer you recommended and had the same opinion.

Oh, and you're not old. (I totally agree with your opinion on the music front)

i agree with holdensolo. if you're out of high school, then going to a salon is the only way because there's no cred to care about earning by doing it yourself. that way, you can be sure the bleaching, if necessary, is done evenly and properly without over-frying your hair, thereby making the color come out nicer and staying longer.

now, as far as color goes, it really depends on how serious you are, and the color of your eyes. blue washes out in about a week to a nice dish-water grey color, so unless you're into doing lots of touch-ups, i wouldn't recommend it. green is good, particularly if you are lucky enough to be blessed with brown eyes and particularly if it's a nice dark forest or hunter's green. bright lime green tends to make everyone look pukey, for obvious reasons. purple is always a winner (and was always my favorite) especially if you have green eyes--purpler hair makes green eyes go pow! bright red is of course fiery and sexy, and works well with every eye color. the only downside to red is that it's the biggest commitment. i think the only way to get that stuff out of your hair short of cutting all your hair off (always a cute option) is by going with black hair because bleaching it again will just make it go a nice clown shade of orange, unless you bleach it so much all your hair breaks off anyway. so, if you get sick of the red, you'll be committed to black hair for awhile.

it's a crapshoot, really. a fun crapshoot, but a crapshoot all the same.

still, it's always great to play around with your hair, so i would totally recommend doing it, crapshoot or no.

yay another member of the suicide girls grey hair club!!

johnny cash kicks ass

yes it made my week

I guess that's one advantage to being pathetically disorganized, like myself.
Yeah, I have my schedule worked out this quarter so that I theoretically only have to be on campus twice a week--but it never really works out like that.

I grew up in Brunswick, Ohio....

Ola compadre!

(unfortunately I'm now in the human wasteland of southern California)

Hehehehe...you said, "inbox is never empty"...hehehehe. Sorry, I'm a dirty boy.

Condolences from your fellow sufferer. Fortunately, Thursdays are my day off, so I'm going to get some bourbon...
