2:46 pm	I Despise the 49ers . . . Not only did they win last night when, clearly, Chicago should have won, but the CW felt the need to broadcast the game because it was a Bay Area game. Which means everyone outside of the Bay Area got to see Supernatural last night, whereas I and all my fellow Supernatural fans in the Bay Area were cruelly abandoned. Curse you, 49ers. Aren't you leaving for Santa Clara or something, anyway? (Comment on this)

6:16 pm	How the Dean Girls Mourn . . . It appears that my future husband, Jensen Ackles, has proposed to his actual girlfriend, leaving me sad and alone for yet another birthday. Sniff. In other news, I'm (hopefully) about a month away from graduating SFSU!!! (Comment on this)

4:36 pm	Today's Melodramatic Song of Choice: Everything I Touch, I Break You know, the day started out fine. I slept in. That was nice. And then the tattoo artist in Eye Spy never showed up for our scheduled appointment, so we were like, hell with you, we'll try Evolution, and the Evolution guy pretty much said my tattoo wouldn't work. I mean, he was nice about it and all, and I like the shop well enough (even if we did get the "is this your first tattoo" and "if you go too much bigger, it will be a masculine tattoo," like, did I show up today in my poodle skirt and Mary Jeans, jesus, guy) but that means I have to now find a new dragon and it took me a few YEARS to find the last one and ARG. I came home to sulk in a bowl of macaroni and managed to dump almost the entire pot in the sink while trying to drain it. Do not let me near your children. I will accidentally infect them with some kind of disease and then stomp on their little heads and then their eyes might explode for good measure. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

2:47 pm	B-Day Plans So, I've changed my mind (again) about my birthday party, and I've decided I do want to do a Murder Mystery Party. I'm looking at a few now and trying to decide which one I want, but more importantly, I need to have people commit to a date. My b-day's the Saturday after Thanksgiving, but Thanksgiving weekend's always kind of hectic and anyway, I'm probably working that night, SO: How's about Murder Mystery Party at the St. George residence on Friday, December 4th? Let me know if that works for you guys. Also, Norah and Kaci: bring your husbands. Do not let them say no. They are playing because I need 8 people. And we loooove them. But if they come and refuse to participate, I will beat them with Mekaela's Eeyore collection : ) (1 Comment |Comment on this)

4:52 pm	Oh, Academia . . . And Also, Bad Fashion . . . School was surprisingly good today. We had a TA lecture in Chinese Philosophy and Religion, and while that normally means that the TA stands in front of the class stammering and trying to get thirty semi-conscious students to participate, the lecture was surprisingly interesting. So much so, in fact, that I was irritated we had to turn in our reader's response, not because I didn't do it (I did, very slooowly, on the bus this morning) but because the material made a lot more sense after the lecture. I could, potentially, have written something insightful if I'd, you know, understand what the hell I was reading. As far as the actual text goes . . . well, first, good people, I must tell you that I have never wanted a turtle. Ever. I have never understood the concept of the pet turtle. It doesn't really do anything. It's not cuddly. It kinda just sits there, doesn't it? Anyway, that has all changed, because this text, The Zhuangzi, is making fun of parables and divining answers from the ancient sage kings and such, and in it there is this turtle with the best name I've ever heard: Dark Genius. And now I desperately want a turtle just so I can name it Dark Genius. Hell, I should name my kid that. Dark Genius St. George. Dark St. George. Maybe if I become a celebrity. In other, scholastic news: we got our metaphysics midterms back. My teacher comes in to class (wearing this godawful oversized man's light blue T-shirt which she wears at least once a week and always shows off her pit stains . . . i mean, sweaty armpits happen to the best of us, but for some reason they're only noticable on this woman in this shirt and she WEARS IT ALL THE TIME . . . not to mention she has it tucked in, but the shirt's too damn big, so it bunches around half of her waist which kind of ruins the effect) and this is the first thing she says: "So, I'll be passing back your papers today. I was a little disappointed." Why not just tell us that they sucked some serious monkey ass? I mean, we all know that's what you mean. I think "a little disappointed" is actually crueler. She then goes on for the next ten minutes about everything that we did wrong, and after everyone is trying to remember if their thesis actually made any sense at all, the teach says, "I'm going to pass back your papers now if there aren't any questions." Which there shouldn't be, right, because you should want to see your fucking paper before you have any motherfucking questions about it, yeah? Apparently not. Ten minutes of questions, culminating from this guy who I overheard before class whining about how his teachers tell him he can have whatever opinion he wants except that he has to have the right one (jesus, cry me a river. there's a difference between having a different opinion and acting like a jackass on every single point that could possibly be argued . . . guess where this guy usually fits). Anyway, he starts talking about how academic papers don't take students' creative genius into consideration, very wah wah, we're all doing the banking model of education, what a tortured artiste i am pablo freire, no one understands me , and I just want to get the double-barrelled shotgun I don't own out from under my seat and kill all these motherfuckers who won't shut up long enough so I can see what I got on a paper that takes up 40 PERCENT OF MY GODAMNED GRADE. I feel a little mollified when I eventually get my paper and found out that I got an A. Ha! Take that, metaphysics! Who can BS about the moral consequences of free will in a predetermined universe? That's right, bitches. Me. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:42 pm	Due to problematic novocaine shots, I had probably the most painful filling of my life (which wasn't like shrieking agony or anything, but I'm predisposed to being overdramatic) and my jaw now hurts like a mother, but all my cavities are filled and I am officially done for at least a year!!! HA! (And yes, I know you're supposed to go every six months, but c'mon, people, once a year is a big step for me. Don't ruin this for me.) In other news, after a week and a half off, I half to go back to work tomorrow night. School too. Damn. (Comment on this)

11:51 pm	Today, I . . . Survived a corn maze. Helped plan a bad horror film in which I and most of my friends are slaughtered by some monster man who comes out from beneath the ground in a corn field. Sent off my UCLA grad application (1 down, four to go!!!) Was able to look around without groaning in pain. Ate at Dennys with friends. Did not have a chocolate milkshake : ( Made plans for Halloween tomorrow. . . . survived a corn maze. Seriously, this is big news. It was a good day. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

8:25 pm	I don't usually mind remakes, but this is a little ridiculous . . . America is remaking Death at a Funeral, which was English movie made a whole two years ago. Amusingly, Peter Dinklage plays the same role he played last time. I want to be outraged by this by the timeline alone, but I did have problems with the original, and I'm all into the cast: James Marsden, Zoe Saldana, Luke Wilson, Martin Lawrence, Danny Glover, Chris Rock, Tracy Morgan, Ron Glass, Loretta Devine . . . Still. They couldn't have waited a whole five years to make this film? (Comment on this)

7:33 pm	My lungs aren't making the disturbing creaky/crackly/whistley sounds that they were yesterday, which is nice. On the other hand, I can feel sinus pressure in my cheeks and when I glance around, my head kinda feels like it's concaving. But I don't have to make a special trip to SF on Friday, so all is happy in the land of Carlie. (Comment on this)

7:54 pm	And budget cuts strike again! I was supposed to pick up a letter of a recommendation today from the teacher I met with last week. Unfortunately, instead of dropping it off to the CW department, he mailed it there, and with these fucking awful furlough days, the CW department and mail room, I guess, was completely closed both last Friday and Monday. Basically, I'm likely going to have to make an additional trip into the city this Friday, three hours both ways, for the five minutes it takes me to walk up three flights of stairs and pick up a letter. Otherwise, I won't have it in time to mail out by Tuesday, and I won't even have the chance of going to UCLA. Lately, I'm thinking God's telling me that UCLA is not the way to go. In other news, yesterday at the hospital with Mama was extremely stressful, I've been unusually wheezy the last two days, and my lower back is sore. I'm saying, I've had better days here, people. On the good side, Scream Awards are on tonight. (Comment on this)

5:16 pm	Frustrated with my Statement of Purpose for my UCLA application. They want you to pretty much tell them the Extreme Home Makeover story of your life, how disadvantaged you were, racially, economically, how you devoted your entire life to charity and didn't eat for six months while doing it and also saved a baby from a burning building while people were telling you you would never amount to anything and UGH. It's not that there aren't students with disadvantages out there, but this is so clearly, "LOOK, people, look how cool we are accepted disadvantaged students in OUR school" and it's frustrating. And it's not like my parents have ever been able to pay for my college, but I also didn't grow up in a trailer with people named Mary Jean and Bubba, so that doesn't count. And sure, I'm a quarter Mexican, but I got snow white skin and I don't speak Spanish, so ultimately I'm just another white and whiny girl from a small town . . . which in itself does not count as a disadvantage, unfortunately. Plus, I have nothing to give for a resume, not one that pertains to writing anyway. I'm a secretary with a good GPA. Awesome. There aren't 4 bazillion of those out there. Meanwhile, I'm scrambling for my transcripts to come in and my letters of recommendation to come through, and this is just ONE of the schools I'm apply to. Stupid early deadline. No one should put their deadline around the same time as midterms. It's rude. In short, I am SO not in my happy place. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:09 pm	Made of Lamesauce I find out that Joss Whedon has co-written a horror movie---a horror movie that has something to do with people at a cabin the woods (for it is very cleverly called A Cabin In The Woods)---and it stars Bradley Whitford, Richard Jenkins, Chris Hemsworth, Fran Kranz, AND Amy Acker . . . . . . only to discover it's been pushed back till 2011 so the studio or whoever can fit it with 3D. I despise 3D. I've jumped on board with Mek---the 3D thing needs to be over. Now. (Comment on this)

4:05 pm	I just found out that there's fanfiction for THE BIBLE. I don't even know what to do with myself now. How am I supposed to concentrate on a metaphysics midterm, when I could be writing a slash smut fic with Jesus and Judas? Or maybe a crossover fic where David is seriously injured, and secret lover Jonathan goes to Elrond of the elves to get a cure (and maybe is tempted into an illicit affair with naughty Legolas?) The mind is sufficiently boggled. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

8:10 pm	My Masterpiece is Complete! No, this is not a screenplay, novel, play, or any other productive use of my time. Instead, I have finished The Epic Birthday/Christmas list two months in advance. When I say epic, I mean EPIC. The list is three pages long, including varying font types and additional end notes. I feel so accomplished. ( For Your Viewing Pleasure ) (Comment on this)

7:38 pm	Laughing My Ass Off My favorite current activity is reading Psych fanfiction. I'm completely obsessed. I just read this story where someone suggests that Shawn (main character for all you non-Psych fans) is getting a bit tubby, and Shawn says, "I'll have you know that a lot of people find my man-pillow sexy!" Man-pillow. I'm going to giggle all night thinking about that. Also, in other news: Zombieland ROCKED!!! (Comment on this)
2:19 am	Adding On To The What Makes Me Happy List While researching for my Epic Birthday and Christmas list, I found a huge list of zombie movies, and some of them have just the most ridiculous names. Here are some of my favorites: 1.) Zombie Jesus! 2.) Blood and Guts: The Return of the 80's Horror Movie/Stupid Teenagers Must Die! 3.) Die You Zombie Bastards! 4.) Space Zombie Bingo 5.) I Was A Zombie For The FBI 6.) Dr. Satan Versus Black Magic 7.) The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies 8.) Earth Dies Screaming (I don't know; I just liked this one.) This makes up for the fact that all the pizzas that CCD got was completely and utterly lame. (Comment on this)
