| i've gone back to bangs! (or, as some may call it, emo indie rock "fringe") |
[07 Feb 2007|09:42am] |
yes, after nearly 12 years without bangs, last night i let my boss trim me some sexy fringe. my first thought after looking in the mirror (and liking the way he worked with my cowlick) was that i now kinda look like jenny lewis.
so now i'm trying to decide: should i dye my hair redder, like ms. troop beverly hills, or darker, like mrs. horowitz?
 
what say you, friends?
(and, yes, i will post a pic soon.) :)

So, I’m studying to take the G.R.E. and one of the analytical writing prompts is:
“Present your perspective on the issue below, using relevant reasons and/or examples to support your views.
Government officials should rely on their own judgment rather than unquestioningly carry out the will of the people whom they serve.”
Do you think I’d get a horrible score if I took the opportunity to rant and rave about how rove should be fired?

siouxsie and the banshees - cities in dust |
] |
4 days left. that time will include 2 parties, 2 final exams and one concert. i am exhausted just thinking about it.
i've still got to pack my computer and my television. ugh.
i finally replaced the phone that went bad, so once again i am accessible at all times, dates and places. or not.
got the pictures back from atlantic city. bug cara for scans. :)
too busy to type meaningful shit here. all apologies.
a few things i just want to mention before i go:
- i can't believe that the dj shadow cmj coverstory took place just a few blocks from my apartment and i wasn't there to accost mr. davis.
- the spin party last week sucked. altho, the dj was pretty clued in. absolutely no strokes songs were played the whole night!
- the new neil labute play was 40 minutes too long. liev schreiber was amazing, but the way labute wrote sigourney weaver, i dunno. it pissed me off.
- yoshimi battles the pink robots is a good album. the siouxsie and the banshees greatest hits is amazing.
- i can't wait to read "the heart is deceitful above all things" because it is. :)
lastly, this is a plea for help, cos i know you all have opinions on this. can anyone give me some insight into how you would answer the following question:
"how should the american copyright system deal with the challenges of the internet and peer-to-peer networks?"
please answer in at least 800 words ;)
i love you all. when i make it through all this, i'll be more lucid. i promise...?

every day i am asked how it feels to be graduating and what my plans are. i can't seem to come up with a standard answer. every time i am asked the questions, i become a little bit more uncertain about just what it is that i am doing.
what am i doing? i am doing just what i have been waiting for since i got here. only now that the time has come, i am simultaneously wholeheartedly ready for it and not quite ready to give it all up. endings and beginnings are exciting times indeed.
i have a feeling that i will never know just how much i am missing, leaving, will be missing, giving up, forgetting, crying over, etc until i can get some perspective on it. that's the problem right now. i am caught in a hurricane of activity and huge things are happening and i feel like i have no control over it at all, my only choice is to sit down and fasten my seatbelt. i have no perspective.
on a completely unrelated note, after staying up half the night finalizing new years plans with anne, i woke up to the sound of squealing brakes and crunching metal followed by incessant honking from the hoards of imbicile drivers who could not seem to realize that the reason the cars weren't moving was cos they has crashed into each other and not simply because they felt like holding up traffic for fun.
so i got up and checked the weather. the low today was a whopping 5 degrees with windchill factored in. i've never been happier to rock the purple parka. :)
i've got boxes i have to pack and seal, so i'm off. but before i forget, i can rest easy once again for reading greenplastic. apparently we don't have to call him uncle coz after all...

i don't want to do homework, there's no one online, everyone here is asleep and i can't bring myself to sleep. for some reason it feels like it's earlier than it is, which is odd, because i usually feel the exact opposite.
i really like the fc kahuna track, "hayling." the video is also way cool.
if anyone wants to help my write my final paper for my text art and rock and roll class, please let me know. i am thinking about just blabbing on for 10 pages about the greatness of dj shadow, but then, i did that for a different final paper last semester, so it may be getting old. i dunno.
i am leaving for d.c. on wednesday night and will be chilling at julie's til sunday. i've got three finals next week and i haven't cracked a book yet.
i need to box up some shit and start moving.
mmmmmmmmmm...black eyed peas....

rufus came into the office today. his bronchial infection seems to have cleared up. he seemed to be in good spirits.
i've got mad record shopping to do this weekend. we've got to fill mo's apt with records before he gets back on the 6th.
i can't seem to stop eating today. i've had three different dinners since i've been home. f-in a.
must go see ash dj at lit...

[21 Nov 2002|09:22am] |
that was the first thing that popped into my head when i saw the new pic on selfmusic.net
i think i found the perfect shirt for julie on st. mark's the other day. it says, "you call me a crackwhore like it's a bad thing." i looked in all of the t-shirt shops and i can't seem to find the shirt anne was talking about. the one that says, "i'm not a slut, i'm just popular." so alas. xmas shopping this weekend will be a bit more stressful this weekend, since i have absolutley no idea what i am buying everyone.
austin's band is playing tonight. i'm trying to convince jordan that it wouldn't be stalking if we went. after all, austin's a manslut. i'm sure he'd appreciate the attention, esp. from jordan! nevertheless, jordan refuses to come along unless he's playing somewhere where we can just hideout in the back and be amused from a distance.
i'm doing the senior portrait thing today and have no idea what i'm going to wear. i had a dream last night that my id card got broken cos i had it in my pocket and i was playing with one of my cousins and it just cracked, right across the picture. that's obviously a note to self to get a new id card before i leave so that i can have the id for as long as i look like i could be at university. :)
must go primp for pictures now...P

oh my god. harry potter was one of the funniest movies ever. cory bought raisinets and a giant coke (in the harry poter souvenir cup, no less!) and of course we finished it all before the movie even started. we saw a preview for the e.t. special edition dvd so i professed that i have a crush on henry thomas in that film and cory proceeds to rattle off the last 10 films that henry has made. who knew anyone else follwed henry's career trajectory?
we just kept making star wars/goonies/e.t. references throughout the film. however, far and away the best part of the evening was when cara started singing "perfect drug" every time alan rickman was onscreen. alan rickman, of course, looking like trent reznor in 20 years. the hair. the cape. the evil looks....LOfL
anyway, the evening ended with cara on a mission for vitamin water and us walking cory back to the train station. i promised to send him a card on our birthday (yes, cory and i rule.)Ï

i ceratinly love getting calls from mon petit ami jen regarding boys we've recently hung out with wanting my phone number. his name is...are you ready for this? no, i mean, are you really ready? hahahaha, it's the story of my life. his name is evan. maybe i should just go ahead and get 'evan' tattooed on my ass. normally, it seems everyone in the world seems to have the name mike or john, but in mega's world, everyone has the name evan.
sorry. that was uncalled for. in other news, christaine tells me nick i am on nick and adonis' hot list. whatever that means...
cory's playing on saturday...woohoo!
ps--anne, when are you calling me? :)
pps--awww yeah, my birthday is tomorrow...

[14 Nov 2002|10:06am] |
hahahaha...so had a special guest lecture in class last night from everyone's favorite mtv news anchor. as shelby says, "he just loves to hear himself talk, doesn't he?"
went out for some half-ass mexican food with shazila and one of her friends before meeting up with sophie at the jack johnson show. i have never seen so many blondes in this city before in my life! it was honestly like jack just imported an entire audience from southern california. despite that, we had a good time. danny and shelby and dl and jack are all very nice people. oh, and apparently we are doing the new blur record when i get back. too bad graham's left now. shelby got to hang out at damon's house last week, tho. damn.
tonight, jordan talked me into going to see rhett miller with her so it'll be yet another full night of partying or something. i need to get me some sleep soon.

so i just had to share that i just fucked up a scene for some new movie with philip seymour hoffman. that's what walking down the street with headphones will do to you. apparently, pedestrian traffic was being redirected to the other side of the street, but i didn't hear that and kept walking. perhaps my other warning should have been the gigantic fills and the cameras, but no. then someone's yelling "CUT!" and i'm like, "oh, whoops" and i look around and, hey, what do you know, they're filming a movie and there's philip seymour hoffman like 5 feet away from me. of course i just turn the volume up on my discman and keep walking..
