Awwww, the Princess Bride is on tv on WE. Cuteness. Also, have taken She-Devil Cat* to the vet at 9am. For my troubles (hey 9am is early after going to bed at 2) I now have cuts on the back of my hand (3) and across both wrists. So, really, it looks like I very inexpertly tried to end my life. By cat. Another two scars to add to the Pete Incident (finally, after much looking, found it, vaguely). Fun. And I won't even know how Lily is until tomorrow. Although she came back home today too: is sleeping on the dog bed, currently.

I accidentally took a nap after I got back, once interupted by a Jehovah's Witness. No joke! She gave me some magazines, but I must have seemed way too young (or just-woken-up) to get the talk.

Off to edit a Powerpoint for class and email Professor Kiddie Lit about class on Thursday to make sure that I know what the homework is (because last week class aws cancelled, kind of screwing us up). Oh yeah, and make a lesson plan in math. Must not forget.

But last night's class was oddles of fun and everyone liked my personal history (capedcrusader92: I brought in a picture of the quilt from the picnic with all the t-shirt squares. They boggled at the size of "our family". Too funny.) So that's good. Midterms getting to be over. Ish. Thank goodness. And TWO MORE DAY UNTIL SPRING BREAK and sunnysunny Hawaii. Anyone want a postcard? Shoot me an email at KatStarling9 (yahoo) or leave a message here (I'll screen the comments). I probably won't mail them from there, but they'll have palm trees! And sand! Yay!

Cheers!


*Otherwise known as Lily

Anxiety is...

feeling your feet in your teeth. And vice versa.

All in all, a pretty good day (except for the random 30-second body spazz on the train); I learned how to make a book! Sort of. With construction paper. And talk to China. Or rather, my mother. In China.

And now the cat is here to sleep on my bed. Clearly, this means it's bedtime. Otherwise he takes all the good bits of the blanket. (wow, my cat is dictating when I go to sleep. how sad. or amusing. or both)

Tomorrow will be a long day in the city on my normally-day-off to work on a project. Hopefully will hit the library/grocery store or something. Then home again, alone. Unless of course I miraculously obtain a boyfriend before dinnertime. You never know... *smirk*

Cheers!

Amazing that I can be sore from shoveling only an itsy bitsy spider amount of snow. *shifts in chair*

Okay, so I got back to Older Sister's apartment.... and Old Man Cat is not here. Casper kitty is (and at present is sitting on my lap, heeeeee), but no old cat. Not Here. AT ALL. I know he had an eye infection a couple of days ago and Sister was taking him to the vet, but.... this worries me.

Will update later. Sorry if this distresses anyone unduly, chances are everything is fine. Felt the need to share. Cheers?

ETA: Okay, cat is at vet and my cell works again. *shakes head at world* Off to class!

We'll see how much of this entry I can write, seeing as Casper the cat is dozing on my lap with his head on my left hand. It is the cutest thing ever, but really impedes my typing. Apologies for typos, blame the cat *grin* Having a cat on top of me is a big plus, mostly because in the apartment the heat won't go on for another week or two, so it's coooooold. But that means it's finally fall, so that's really good. I love fall. So much.

To recap my weekend, 'cause I never quite got around to posting:

--U2 was, in a word, AMAZING. I will now be spoiled to any other concert, ever. Part of the amazement was just seeing how a space like Madison Square Garden (which really isn't the best concert space at all, accoustics-wise) can be transformed by all these people jumping and dancing and singing along, even with the guitar riffs. At one point, Bono got everyone to get out and turn on their cellphone lights to "recreate the Milky Way". It was... magical. And of course all the singing was just OMG. Fantastic. And, oh goodness, the Bono/the Edge? Are hysterical. It's like they spend the whole show flirting with each other on stage. I now understand why there is U2 fanfic :o) Anyone have their latest cds and want to send me some songs? *bats eyes* Both "vertigo" (they sang it twice) and "elevation" have been stuck in my head and I don't have the music.

--Saturday I had class all day, which was great fun as we learned all there is to know about using a video camera and then editing it using iMovie. My group made a stalker flick in the basement (we think there have to be sequels now) as well as a mocumentary about Studio 54 closing (hey, it was the day Disco died, man). The high points? Editing it correctly to have my friends strut down the street to "Stayin' Alive". Doing the hussle in the dining hall. And the minute long take as Bo filmed the girls bathroom (we teased him that he took so long because he wanted to make it last). So much fun. I love class.

--Saw Five Course Love with PlaywrightTwin on Saturday night. Funny and all the little vignettes were cute, but I'm glad we got comp tickets (as the rest paid 65 bucks a pop. ouch). Then we finished the night with Ben and Jerrys and Pirates of the Caribbean. Johnny Depp is God, I've redecided.

--Sister had two friends visiting yesterday, which was fun and nice. Also Enormous Desk of DOOM? Is finally out of the apartment and outside, waiting for the trash man. Thank the Lord. To be noted, this desk has been sitting in the living room, on its side, covered in a sheet, for the past month and a half. I think Casper's sad it's gone. He liked to climb on it.

Well, my hand's starting to fall asleep from the added kitty pressure, so I think that's all I got. I've been getting a ridiculously skewed amount of sleep, but having a hell of a lot of fun. Not a bad trade off, really.

How's with all you *looks expectantly at comments* Cheers!

Taken from copperbadge, among others.

Go to your icons page in Livejournal and look at the first two icons (the one on the right and the one on the left). Pair up the characters in the two icons. Go to the next two and do the same until you have a list of ships. Then...well, write 'em.

converse shoes/Little Prince rose
w00t/Due South parternship (LOL... yes)
gunslinger/scars
SG1/clock
sparkly/bit with a dog
owls/tonks/lupin/sirius (OT4?)
stabler/benson/jack/tyler (OMG YES)

I wish there was a way to shuffle the list of icons, without having to futz with the uploading/downloading. When I get more icons, I will probably update this. And yet, I see some definite potential here. If nothing else, it'd be something to do that would not be watching years of television, which is what I seem to be doing lately. Perhaps I will go out and return the movies (which are almost a week late now, oops) and try and find something for dinner. Although I do have some cold pasta from last night. That might work.

Anyone up for doing something? 'Cause it's just me, and the dog, and the cats... and me. w00t. And, y'know, orientation on Friday. Eep.

So how's everyone else? *waves* Cheers!
