Goodbye, Public World!  Current Mood:  productive | | Saturday, December 22nd, 2007 | | 9:54 am |
*huffs windex*
Mmm...cleaning the apartment- what a way to trigger allergies, huff windex on accident, and discover what filth you really live in.
Happy holidays, everybody! | | Monday, December 17th, 2007 | | 10:12 pm |
Going dark...
Well, not really, just going to a friends only format. As soon as I have a cool image that demonstrates this, it will be so.
Can't be too careful these days. | | Thursday, December 13th, 2007 | | 2:00 am |
Screw Camus...
Somebody put me out of my misery, please. | | Wednesday, December 12th, 2007 | | 11:33 pm |
All you intellectual types...
...any of you interested in writing a paper for me?
Here's the prompt-
Both the Nietzsche-Camus-Sartre Existentialist Tradition, and the Moore-Prichard-Ayer-Stevenson Analytic Philosophy Tradition represent reactions to the tradition of Modern Moral Philosophy (for the purposes of our course – Hume, Kant, Benthem, and Mill). Interestingly, both traditions hold a rather pessimistic view of the goals of Modern Moral Philosophy. Ought we be pessimistic? Drawing on the Existentialists and the Analytic Philosophers, please argue yes, we ought to be, or no, we oughtn’t be. Be creative, but above all be clear.
It needs to be 5-8 pages, double spaced, and somewhat interesting.
Your support and input is greatly appreciated.
Love,

Just thinkin' 'bout ol' times.
Just a selection from the Kate Bush catalog...a lil' ditty called Wuthering Heights. Kick back and enjoy, kids.
Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too.
Bad dreams in the night
You told me I was going to lose the fight,
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights.
Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I´m so cold,
let me in-a-your window
Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I´m so cold,
let me in-a-your window.
Ooh, it gets dark! It gets lonely,
On the other side from you.
I pine a lot. I find the lot
Falls through without you.
I'm coming back, love,
Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream,
My only master.
Too long I roamed in the night.
I'm coming back to his side, to put it right.
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering,
Wuthering Heights,
Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold,
let me in-a-your window.
Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold,
let me in-a-your window.
Ooh! Let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
Ooh! Let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
You know it's me--Cathy!
Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I´m so cold,
let me in-a-your window
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home. I´m so cold,
let me in-a-your window.
Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold. | | Tuesday, December 4th, 2007 | | 3:02 am |
Like a cross of himself and a fox...
I saw Neil Young tonight.
I couldn't have asked for a better performance, he was absolutely incredible in every sense of the word. The man is well into his 60s and still managed to crank out an epic 18 minute guitar jam with the famed "horse" that reminded me quite a bit of the Dead Man soundtrack he did a while back.
He played a few of my absolute favorites- The Loner, Winterlong, Harvest, Cinnamon Girl, etc. The first set was just him alone on stage- completely acoustic. The second half was with Crazy Horse. Both rocked for separate reasons. I enjoyed the show so much I even bought a t-shirt. Which I am wearing. Right now. And it's awesome.
The only disappointment with the evening was the fact that we were kicked out of the alley where the theater is before Neil and his crew got back on the tour bus. While it was a minimal let down, I would have liked to have thanked him for making the $100 I dropped more than worth it, and how much his music really has meant to me. Hokey, I know, but 100% true.
I don't go to concerts very often, but I can state that without a shred of doubt, this one was the stuff of legend. If I had the money, I'd see the next show on the 6th. | | Thursday, November 29th, 2007 | | 7:34 pm |
I stand defeated...
The subject just says it all. I needn't elaborate further. | | Tuesday, November 27th, 2007 | | 7:06 pm |

I've been basted in butter- I'm delicious.
Thanksgiving recap:
Flew to Houston buttcrack early in the morning (7:00 AM), just as the hangover was kicking in (not to mention that I hadn't slept the night before). My brother picked me up at the airport with his girlfriend Heather. Riding in his jeep made me mourn the loss of my own.
We started drinking as a family around 2PM, and by 5PM rolled around, everything I ate was the greatest tasting food I have ever eaten. I went to bed at 7PM, and slept straight through until 11AM the next morning. It was amazing.
I enjoyed watching my parents play Guitar Hero for the very first time- I even got video of it, but to spare their reputations, I will not be posting it online. If you're curious, just come to me, it's still saved on my phone. That was followed by more drinking, guitar hero, and finally Flight of the Concords.
I flew home the next day. I wish I got to see my siblings more often, it was nice just hanging out with them. | | Wednesday, November 21st, 2007 | | 2:07 pm |
This post links to awesome! I've had this song by Quarterflash called "Night Shift" in my head since I watched the movie, "Night Shift". Those of you unfamiliar, Night Shift features Henry Winkler as a reluctant pimp, Michael Keaton as his parter/buddy, and Shelly Long as a hooker. My guess is the soundtrack was never re-released as a CD in 1985-beyond, because all the copies for sale seem to be on vinyl. Despite this slight fork, Tim managed to score an MP3 on google. If you're curious, check it out: https://www.ulmer.org/music/mp3/Quarterflash/Harden_My_Heart..._The_Best_Of_Quarterflash/Night_Shift.mp3And yes. I'm not cool. I don't want to hear it! :-P Current Music: Quarterflash- Night Shift | | Thursday, November 15th, 2007 | | 8:47 pm |
update...
I'm going to Los Angeles in the Fall of 2008!! It's final! | | Wednesday, November 14th, 2007 | | 11:08 pm |
A sigh of relief... I feel very fortunate that I can call my dad and say "Here's my dilemma, these are the pros, these are the cons, help me work through it"- and he does. So as of right now, the plan is: - Take four marketing classes this coming spring - Take three marketing classes next summer, plus one or two electives - Go to Los Angeles (should I get accepted), and if not, finish out my final semester in the fall of 2008 in Boston. So technically, I start my senior year in May of 2008, and I'm done by December of 2008. This means I'll have my bachelors in marketing communications within a year. I won't see Tim much this coming summer, but if I'm in Los Angeles in the fall, he'll be but a road trip away. We can meet up in Blythe and get some McDonald's. I'm really excited and freaked out about this all at once. I hope I can muster up all this energy, because the year 2008 is going to be one of the most exhausting years ever. I want so badly to make everything work, and to do well. Current Mood:  hopeful | | 8:37 pm |
If we weren't all crazy, we'd all go insane
Yesterday, I sat in the terminal at Orlando International Airport, massaging my aching feet, reading my new Carl Hiassen book, and basking in the melancholy that was saying goodbye to my beloved.
Today- my world has completely changed.
It's possible that I might be graduating a semester earlier than originally anticipated. I was waitlisted for the Spring 2009 Los Angeles program- so I emailed David Griffin, the head of the program, to see if I could do anything to change this. He informed me that I was number 68 on the waitlist, and advised me to apply for the fall 2008 Los Angeles program, as there were fewer applicants.
If I am accepted, and maybe even if I'm not, I am toying with the idea of doing four classes over the summer, 2 for each session. Hell, I might even take an extra elective, I don't know yet.
Either way, I am so stressed out at the moment that I can barely see straight. I need to know so many things to make a proper decision, but I won't know enough in time to know if I'm pursuing the proper course of action.
ACK! | | Thursday, November 1st, 2007 | | 11:58 pm |
Sometimes I write letters like an angry elderly person
Dear TV Guide-
I know physical standards these days are high, but your network has reached an all-time low calling certain dancing with the stars participants either "full figured" or "chunky". I've never actually watched the show, but I couldn't help but listen to this queeny "fashion expert" berate these women with better than average frames and builds- I didn't see a pound that didn't need to be there. Tell that ignoramus to get a clue- it's bad enough that you guys air programs while I'm trying to find something else to watch, but factor in this trash, and I'm highly considering just guessing what's on television instead of flipping to channel 8. Granted, it's easier to use your channel, but it comes at an insurmountable detriment to my I.Q., not to mention my hope for this already image-obsessed nation. Whoever allowed that man on television should be beaten with their own shoes.
From now on, TV Guide gets muted.
Sincerely,
Embittered Viewer | | 3:52 pm |
Rocky, exhaustion, and feelings of total intellectual inadequacy
Last night was amazing. I was *extremely* impressed by the preshows- they were indeed epic- like, chicken battles man epic. However, with puking audience members, late arrivals, and people blocking the aisles, when I got home, my knee was hurting so badly I was limping, and I just collapsed on the couch instead of putting in an hour to study for my ethics midterm.
Ethics midterm. Highly dreaded, repeatedly pushed back due to conflicts from the Red Sox Parade and my professor. I looked at all the questions before beginning, and I almost cried. It was that daunting.
I don't think I failed, but it definitely wasn't an A performance either. I understand a lot of the concepts in a broad sense, but my memorization on the whole is terrible- and that applies to more than just ethics. In general, I am just a concept girl, I leave with a great understanding of material and the ideas behind it. Specifics just never seem to sink in as well.
In an case, it's not the end of the world. I am just feeling intellectually inferior, that's all.

The times, they are a changin'...
So I had to get up earlier than usual this morning to see mom off in a cab. Now I'm watching The Price Is Right with new host, Drew Carey. I gotta say, I miss Bob, but Drew is awesome. Women are so cuddly with him on stage, it's sort of endearing to watch. Plus, he's funnier. | | 12:23 am |
Concerned in Boston, In my household, there were a few things that were always required of my younger sister and I as dutiful offspring. 1) We'd take responsibility for our actions 2) We'd be productive adults that leave the nest 3) We'd take the path in our lives that brought us the most satisfaction. I am concerned about my younger sister on this last point. She has been a star pupil, an A student, a model daughter, but she is not happy. At all. Every time I speak to her on the phone, she seems stressed, upset, or in absolute tears. I don't know of any activity in her life that actually brings her satisfaction- it seems that everything just upsets her. Now the only thing I can do in this situation is try my best to advise her, and otherwise just let her know that I'm around. Tonight I recommended that she talk to somebody- either a therapist, or just a personal counselor, to help her get a better analytical idea of what her priorities are before she enters college. I am concerned that the pressures of university will break her, and she'll place too high of an expectation on herself. I really don't want her to have a nervous breakdown her freshman year- that's just not the most healthy or productive start to a path leading her towards adulthood. I really wish that she'd take some joy in what she has done so far, in what she has accomplished. She's WAY smarter than me, but lacks a staggering amount of common sense. I don't know if there's anything else I can do other than try to support her. I hope she takes my suggestion and talks to a non-partisan, non-family member about her future. I think it could give her some much needed perspective in what she should really value, and what is really important. Current Mood:  concerned. | | Thursday, October 25th, 2007 | | 12:17 am |
*frustrated sigh* All I want is to see Neil Young at the Orpheum in December- but thanks to douchebags who bought the tickets and are re-selling them at double the price, there ain't no way I could ever afford to go. What's worse, he's old. What if he never tours again? Greedy yuppie baby boomer scum. Current Mood:  angry | | Thursday, October 18th, 2007 | | 6:03 pm |
Dear Boston-
Jenna is bored, and wants to get out of her apartment, and if that doesn't work, she wants to interact face to face with other humans:-) Those of you who can grab a movie tonight, or just want to come over and hang out here, let me know.
Love,
Jenna |
