Suck it.

I’m done with you.

(Until like two days from now.)

But suck it.

I hate you.

Do Doo Do Doo

7 hours remain.

6.5 stanzas still need analyzed as they relate to the translation process.

A conclusion must be written.

The template must be wrangled (although this is mostly done).

I can do it!



I Just Didn’t Want No Mo’ Whiskey

Today’s Song to Kill Yourself To:

Otherwise known as the youtube clip of the day that will break your heart. 

[Download Towne Van Zandt's "Waiting Around to Die"]]

The footage is from Heartworn Highway a excellent documentary covering the various careers/lives of a lot of the folk/alt-country set, such as Guy Clarke, Townes, Charlie Daniels, Steve Earle, etc. Highly recommended.

Why are the gossip bloggers the only people in the world good at live blogging? For real, New York Times. I need to know how bad Mizzou’s losing and you just won’t update. :(

Pretty much sums up everything up until now (and continuing on until Monday at noon, plus some hour or two for the faculty lunch thing I gotta do…):

Me and the girls are going camping at Hell’s Canyon (woo! yurts!) for National PBRbor Day next month. It’ll be swell.

Life Goal (added today):

  • Reach and/or top 10 before Miami. 
  • We got 51/2-6 now. 
  • Leave me on my own for three months and lord knows what’ll happen. 

But christ, I want my necklace back. I really just don’t know to breach this subject without it getting all awkward and whatnot. No I don’t want to do you, I want to get my necklace that I forgot back at your apartment. That’s all. It’s been 3 weeks officially (well as of 1pm or so Wednesday afternoon).



Here’s a Question That’s Been Tested

Because I got nothing going on but a lot of work and guy issues, I’m taking a step back to freshman year.

Here it is. 

Two versions of THE song of my freshman year experience, i.e. Mirah’s “La Familia.”

[[download "La familia" by Mirah"]]

(Original shoddy youtube video)

(Weird remix?)

[[And the answer is: no, no it would not make it any better; and no, they will not be your friend. I wish I didn't know this answer... oh well]]

That was an epic end to a great Tournament of Champions!

Larissa lost in the final jeopardy!

I was sad for her, but Dan is awesome, too and he gave her a really sweet hug after it.

But mainly the match was spot-on intense.

Great game!

(For a better recap/the full match(!!!!), click here).



Top of the World

Oh yeah, how’d I forget it? 
I finished my chapter 2 rough draft.
Finished it. 11, 218 words. Oh snap!

That said, the happiest/(creepiest?) songs I could think of:



The End is Near, Let’s Throw a Dance Party!

2.75 hours until my deadline. Of course, being awesome, I’m posting a video playlist of sorts. All the stuff I’ve been rocking since I’ve forced myself to sit in the chair in my living/dining room for the past …. billion or so hours.  But mainly I just wish I could stand up and dance, instead I sit and sit and type and type. :(

You ready? I am!

“Love Story” – Taylor Swift
