I went to see Obama with Dad and Hannah.

John Edwards guest starred as Obama Endorser.

It was awesome.

dude.

Totally jaded now though because those signs? Behind him? The handwritten ones like Women for Obama? Plants. The dude handed them out like an hour before Obama came out. And showed them how to cheer etc.

Rantings
*Proof that Brady and Kev have horrible German (and therefore make their German friends think that all Amis can't speak German): German guy talks German to me (thinking I'm a Kraut as well), and when I see him again 20 minutes later he apologizes for thinking I'm a German and asks if I understood him. I give him a "duh, you dumbass" look and said, "I've been studying German for the past 7 years. Of course I understood you."

*The kids from Chicago who are here for a semester paid $400 total for the semester. We WMU kids paid upwards of $3500 for each semester. WTFOMGROFLCOPTERLHSAFPIDHGALFlkadjsihfalhsfpoiae!!!(#(#%@(#!!

*Rachelle complains about not seeing her fiance for 3 days. Well golly jee, at least Dean is on the same fuckin' continent!

*Just because I go to Highlander to get a cider and hang out with friends does not mean I'm going to get up and sing karaoke with you. You sound bad enough on your own without my horrible voice added to it. Or at least pick a good song. "Fuck her gently" by Tenacious D, for example, I can sing.

*Brady and Kev had a BBQ, but they left the major cleaning up and putting stuff away to me, Jeff (a Chicago kid who also lives in PHW) and some German guests.

*My friend Darcy's now ex-boyfriend called off their relationship yesterday due to stress from it being long-distance. What a wimp. Pardon me while I go punch him in the nose.

*Guys can pee standing up. You suck.

I am watching TiVo'd episodes of CSI. First episode I watched had Mini Brittney on it. Awesome. She actually got brought up too so it was like she was in the episode. Second episode? Adam and Jamie from the Mythbusters. No mention. No lines. Just thumbs up. It was weird.

I went to AQ's graduation yesterday. The girls (Bekka, Laura and Theresa) all graduated.

Today they moved out. And even though I know that we will keep in touch and I will see them again, it still makes me sad. I hate endings.

Troy gets to see Apocalyptica tonight. His brother works at the club where they're performing. *jealous*

I totally slept in today. Hooray for not having classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Started reading Ranma 1/2 again. There's some random website online that has all the manga scans. What's awkward is that this website also has Ranma 1/2 hentai. Awwwwwwwwwwkwaaaaaaaaaaaard.

Looking at cars as ours is dying/dead. I found one I really want. They say it runs fine, it just doesn't reverse. How much do you need reverse anyway? Just park where you don't have to back up.

So if you guys find/see/hear of any cheap cars... let me know.

I love you all.

I want to update, but there's not much to say.

I moved into my new place last week. It's like living in the dorms again, sorta. Except I get my own bathroom and don't have an RA. And still have to cook my meals unless I want to fork over the euros to eat food at the mensa (aka caf) that is as good as the caf food at Western.

I'm attempting to grow a bamboo plant. Buuuut I don't have the miraculous green thumb my mom has. I can only hope that some mutated form of a bamboo plant grows.

I'm taking a model UN class this semester and it is awesome. We get to go to a conference. I have to buy a suit. Bleck. My hair is transitioning back to a normal hair color for said conference and trying to find a job once I get back to the States. Boring hair color is boring. I miss my vibrant pink (although it is still pink...just pink and blond now).

Not looking forward to going to my German-English translation class in five minutes. The homework sentences we had were dumb and boring. I hate being called upon all the time because I'm a "native speaker".

Tried a new running route yesterday. New running route=epic fail. Too many people crowding up the sidewalk areas because of a bus stop. I'll just try again tomorrow. My legs are hurting because I haven't run in over a month. My awesome running muscles turned to squish.

Thing I just remembered:

When Hannah and I went to see Don Quixote, we thought during the entire ballet that this one woman was this other chick's mother. But then she suddenly marries/hooks up with this creepy guy. And she is apparently other chick's really old and ugly sister.

Hey remember when I was all "no more writing papers at the last minute and no more staying up until 6 am"?

Well here I am writing a paper. I am trying to wrap it up as much as I can as I have a little time to work on it tomorrow and am pretty tired and sick of it already.

"I used to think the world was broken down by tribes. By black and white. By Indian and white. But I know that isn't true. The world is only broken into two tribes: The people who are assholes and the people who are not."


Anyone else know how angry I am at myself that I did not see this man speak when I had the chance? I am quite upset. He best not keel over before I see him.



Also, how upset am I that I did not go to U of Chicago? Look at this essay prompt: "Don't play what's there, play what's not there." -- Miles Davis (1926-91)

And this one: Chicago professor W. J. T. Mitchell entitled his 2005 book "What Do Pictures Want?" Describe a picture and explore what it wants.

And my favorite: Modern improvisational comedy had its start with The Compass Players, a group of University of Chicago students, who later formed the Second City comedy troupe. Here is a chance to play along. Improvise a story, essay, or script that meets all of the following requirements:

* It must include the line "And yes I said yes I will Yes" (Ulysses, by James Joyce).
* Its characters may not have superpowers.
* Your work has to mention the University of Chicago, but please, no accounts of a high school student applying to the University–this is fiction, not autobiography.
* Your work must include at least four of the following elements:
o a paper airplane
o a transformation
o a shoe
o the invisible hand
o two doors
o pointillism
o a fanciful explanation of the Pythagorean Theorem
o a ventriloquist or ventriloquism
o the Periodic Table of the Elements
o the concept of jeong
o number two pencils


SERIOUS.

STRESS CHECK
One paper due Tuesday. Exam for same class on Tuesday. Currently have a D+ in this class. Thank goodness I can write it in English.

One paper due on Friday. Tons of questions also due on Friday. Currently have a C in this class. Oh PS this is the one in French.

One paper was due last Friday. I stayed up all night writing it. Got maybe two hours of sleep. I do not want to do that again but here I am, not writing any papers.

Two exams next week.

Laura's birthday on Thursday. The What's Morally Wrong with Homosexuality guy is coming on Wednesday. I would like to get these things done ahead of time but I just wasted all my weekend.

I = lame ass.

I = love you all.

Monk
Nick and I have been watching Monk all weekend. I am glad I finally got him to watch and like this show.

Every time Monk talks to his psychiatrist, which happens in almost every episode, I get really sad. Stanley Kamel died last week.

This made me cry, it's a full page ad that the cast of Monk placed in Daily Variety:
