I haven’t been blogging about non-OC-related things, because it’s all school (which I try not to bore people with), work, and stuff that doesn’t really seem exciting enough to actually write out in internet form.

Nonetheless, random headings and relevant information:

Annoying People

It is like the theme of my week. Saturday at EIGHT IN THE MORNING I wake up to my phone ringing, I crawl out of bed to answer it, because who would be calling at EIGHT IN THE MORNING ON A SATURDAY it must be urgent. I miss the call so I check my messages. Someone, after the part my message where I clearly state “Hi, this is BRENDA, I can’t take your call right now, please leave a message,” says “Hi [name which is not Brenda], I’m returning your call.” I looked at the number after and found out that it was a NEW YORK area code. It is still EIGHT IN THE MORNING in New York. (I’m still mad because Saturday was one of my only sleep-in days and I really wanted to actually get eight full hours of uninterrupted sleep. I don’t ask for much here people.)

Then, I went back to sleep and then woke up again to eventually discover my first comment spam. Guess which post it was on? (I’m paying the price for keeping it real,* I guess.)

Then, on the subway home from work last night, which was like, at 8:30, because I work too much for a week I have an essay due, I saw these high schoolish punk kids who were obviously drinking on the train. They did the worst concealing job ever. There was a water bottle full of red-brown liquid that two dudes were passing back and forth and one dude just had an actual can of beer. ON THE SUBWAY people.
As the (long, long) ride progressed, they got louder and more annoyling rowdy. I think they’d started to sing in unison by the time they got off.
High school boys are so lame.

I was watching a Spike Lee movie today.

Saint’s

So, I went to a Trin ball on Saturday. It wasn’t that big a deal because I didn’t really know anyone except the people we came with, but on the upside I got to wear my new dress that I thought had been totally frivolously purchased, but turns out to have come in handy (not that I didn’t have other dresses I could have worn, but whatevs.)
Nonetheless, there were free drinks(!). And boyfriend in a tux(!!!). And baba ganouj (funnest food to say ever).

I am a slacker

I have this essay due I really should be working on. I skipped out on this one class because we were just watching a movie I’d seen two weeks earlier in another class, which I didn’t especially want to see again, and I didn’t really want to come back for like, 1 hour of lecture for which the slides, but I justified it by saying I would use the time to work on my essay. All I got accomplished was going to the video store and renting the movie my paper’s on.
(The video store is not even a whole block away.)

I am a slacker.
Seriously, I suck.

Music is Good

Indie Christmas! It’s weird that there’s indie Christmas. It seems like indierock guys would just all be so sad and ironic and cynical, what with the messy hair and the tshirts and the not caring about material things.
Also, that The Arcade Fire deal at CBC Radio 3 is totally worth the patience of loading it and waiting for music to come out. I probably say this with the hype band every year, but The Arcade Fire totally live up to and deserve all their hype. I wasn’t going to put them on my mix CD that I’m making because they’re the hot band right now and putting the hot band right now that everyone’s talking about on your mix CD seems kind of lame. But now I am reconsidering because they are awesome and everyone loves them. We’ll see, I guess.
I am making aforementioned mix CD for a thing I’m going to tomorrow with exchanges of mix CDs at the end of the night. Right now it includes “The Man That Got Away” (classic Judy Garland version)** followed by my mix CD standard “Only Straight Girls Wear Dresses” by CWA (which stands for Cunts*** With Attitude). This pleases me to no end. I think I’m a terrible person.

Yes, making a mix CD qualifies is an excuse to procrastinate.

Shut up. I know a lot of people who were into anime in high school. I was into Judy Garland.
One more vagina colloquialism for google.
