exceeeedingly good..

Inner monologue while in Stop&Shop:
“Baking soda.. baking soda.. need friggin baking soda to de-stink the mini-fridge.. Hollon.. what’s this? Mr. Kipling’s exceedingly good cakes?! Ooh! And Aero bars! Oh hey! Ribena! And.. oh my stars and garters.. JAFFA CAKES!!”
Yes, apparently, Stop&Shop has an “Irish/UK” section. Whee!
I wish I could have found a better link about [...]

it must have gone something like this..

“Gee, brother of mine, we’ve made so much money from our wonderful Tiger Balm that we could easily fill a pool with cash and swim in it like some deranged cartoon duck. But wouldn’t it be even better to give it back to the people we helped cure of so many ailments?”
“Ooh! Let’s make a [...]

oh and also..

I’m wondering if I’ve been so grumpy lately because it’s easy. Sometimes I’ll find myself thinking something just because I know it’s not acceptable or polite but it’s just so much easier than making an effort to be sociable. And that’s kinda scary, because I don’t actually agree with half the things I casually think.

thoughts from the dorm room

See, what I should be doing is writing my linguistics paper, but if I can put things off until the very end then that’s what I do. And that’s what I’m doing.
In other news, I saw Daredevil, and will refrain from making any comments on it at all lest I start up some sort of [...]

the emptiness of all lecture rooms

Buddhism class was canceled today, again. I don’t know if I’m overjoyed or irritated. It seems that our professor really doesn’t care about the class; he hardly puts in any effort and now he’s just canceling class because it’s convenient.
But, okay, I really like the guy. He’s neet-o. Plus he’s all busy interviewing applicants for [...]

fucking blizzard

That’s right, there’s a fucking blizzard outside. No no, don’t bother going to the window, you can feel the chill from here. Can’t go outside and gawk at the ability of Mother Nature to cover abso-fucking-lutely everything in 2 feet of snow because the doors are completely blocked. Fucking blizzard.
The weird thing about snow days [...]

pics from yesterday

Batteries died in my camera, of course. Only had enough power to save this one. The water in the fountain must have been freezing, but still warm enough in comparison to the air to let off steam.

the verdict..

Quite possibly the best birthday ever. Even with the added guilt that the money we spent on dinner could have easily bought enough parrot food to feed the window display in the restaurant for the rest of their happy parrot lives.
Back to feeling old and cranky. =)

da dada da da da..

Okay, Self, 22’s a big year. Time for big decisions. Time to look at yourself in the mirror and say “Is this really how I want to present myself, Self?” And I think you know what I’m talking about. It’s time to make some changes, and embrace the new you.
I’m parting my hair on the [...]

everything’s jake

Current Countdown:
Birthday: 2 days
Ireland: 30 days
I need some ideas as to what I should actually *do* on my birthday before dinner. Feasting won’t be until 6, and it looks like unless I want to pay to take the train, I could take the school van in at 10am. There’s a noon van but it’s completely [...]
