the birds think it's march.

It's so very drippy outside! All I want to do is nap. I just watched my three PVRed episodes of Weeds and I'm all overwhelmed. That show makes my heart hurt in such a good way! I think I just watched the season finale and it was excellent.

My parents just left for Mexico this afternoon so I'm in charge and I have little to nothing to do. Our cable is out which makes it really difficult to watch trashy television, so I'm going to have to break into some dvds. I may also have to take a nap because I am le tired. Yay for xmas.

Juanita

Feeling festive! I'm currently in the midst of a wrapping rendezvous at my place with Steve after trudging through the slush in worn out boots that I promised myself last year that I would never wear again. Ah well. I'm feeling good and ready to celebrate the birth of Santa tomorrow. My eight year old cousin came over last night and sang Lonely Jew on christmas which was adorable and then he ate a chocolate star of david on a stick the size of his fist in about two seconds. Hilarious!

I've been sleeping on the couch at my parents house because I no longer have a bed there and have been having ridiculous dreams. For example, I dreamt I was watching the G-rated version of "Jizz in my pants" called "What's in My Pants". It was awesome. I'm tired and full of cookies, cheese, and salty nuts. Ain't nothin' wrong with that.

Also, Steve and I just found out that our landlords partner is named Juanita... and that's just magnificent.

Seriously. Nachos.

Hello!!!!!!!! I'm finished my first semester of my masters and I'm back in the T-dot! I handed in my last essay on Monday while Steve was writing his last exam and when we were done we jumped on a bus to Niagara Falls for some snuggling in a gigantic bed in a gigantic hotel room!

Niagara is kind of like a ghost town this time of year. It's pretty wacky. But we had a lovely time eating delicious food, drinking wine, gambling, lying around, and watching movies. We had some nice walks down to the festival of lights, and down to the falls. We took a lot of pretty icicle photos, and some wintery falls photos. It was a lovely trip! That guy just makes me squishy and full of love!

Anyway, today I'm tidying and baking because I have people from my program coming over for a cookie exchange. I baked like 150 cookies last night, and I'm doing more today! Yay! I may be the only one who actually baked. We'll see!

I wish I could punch your idea!

I should finish my paper today. Tomorrow sounds like it's going to be tree decorating day, so a finished paper will make that more fun. It's 2:20pm and so far I've had two cups of coffee, a bowl of apple cinnamon cheerios, and I've watched two episodes of Sarah Silverman... that helps with paper writing right? Likely more than watching Exiled, the mtv show that sends former Sweet Sixteen participants to "third world" countries for a week and see how they survive and mature as they learn how to do real work. I watched four episodes of that yesterday and I think it fried my brain.

I want papers to be done! I want social fun time! Okay okay work time first.

CRAB PEOPLE CRAB PEOPLE

I'm just positively giddy right now! I've printed off my second 20 page paper and there's only one more to go! I'm enjoying some egg nog coffee, and once Steve leaves for his exam I intend to knit and watch some trashy unreasonable television and then maybe go for a little Christmas shopping style walk. I just got a message that Sonal and Bex might come by tomorrow so I have to attempt to finish their present tonight. I feel it is more important than paper writing... I'll get to it. The paper is due Monday, so as long as I get started tonight I can probably do the bulk of the work during the day tomorrow and then have some time to relax on Monday.

Fiddle dee dee.

Steve and I have been watching an insane about of South Park, especially for people who never really enjoyed South Park past the first two seasons where it was still a novelty. In the past two months we've burned through seven seasons and I'd say we watch four or five episodes a day. I have a love for Butters that no one could have predicted.

Also, if anyone needs to brighten their day I strongly suggest watching Canada's Worst Driver with Macelod. I've never seen anyone enjoy that show so thoroughly! "I cannot see!"

Cookies are on their way soon people. So very soon. If anyone wants to bake, let me know!

Involuntary Deviants

(That title is my current band name, by the way)

My brain is melty and messy! I've got 11 pages of material for my first twenty page paper, but I would say only the first five are polished, so I have lots of work to do. I really wanted to get it done tonight, but the more I do things like blog... the less likely it seems. Must keep working after I blog!

On the upside, I've done almost all of my Christmas shopping, but I really want to start decorating the apartment all festive like and doing things like wrapping, but I feel like I shouldn't until papers are done. Last night I had one of those nights where I woke up every two or three hours and then couldn't get back to sleep because I couldn't stop my brain from listing off all of the things I have to/want to get done. The obnoxious part is that I'm now getting anxious about doing things that I'm excited to do. Bah.

I'm now just working towards the 15th and hoping with all of my might that I'll be done by then. It can still happen, I'm just a little behind schedule.

Soon I will be baking hundreds of cookies.

My mind is a little bit melty. How is it possibly December? All of my essay preplanning seems like nothing at the moment. This always happens. I do an outline and then I trick myself into thinking that I'm awesome and that I've done so much work, and then I get to the week before the deadline and realize I've done nothing. Nothing of significance anyway. Wednesday will be a wacky day of meetings and completing my last presentation of the semester, and then from Thursday on I shall do nothing but write essays. NOTHING I SAY!

Some one remind me of that when we're hanging out this weekend okay?
