Happy Pi Day! Its a good nerdy weekend, it is. Tomorrow is the Ides of March, on which I will be studying for a Latin exam. Yes, that amuses me too.

I've fallen off the radar these last few months, so this is partially an announcement that I am floating around here somewhere. Hello to those I haven't spoken too in awhile. How are you? I hope you are doing well.



Now to the point. I am in the Anthropology class which requires a zoo trip. I plan on going next Saturday, March 21st. I want to be there when Lincoln Park Zoo opens at 10a. So that means that if anyone is willing to join me, the meeting time will be 8.30 or so. I'm not looking at schedules or doing any real travel calculations in my head, but that time seems about right. Definitely before 9a, what with relying on the CTA and all.

If you have any interest in going, leave me a comment here. By Tuesday I hope to have facts perfectly cemented, and will DM relevant people on friendslist. So if you like monkeys and are free the morning of March 21st, come along to the zoo!

I have never been so disappointed with a show as I am with the season finale of Bones, and I've seen Heroes season 2. Why do writers never know how to write my favorite characters? ;_; Creepy!Hodgins ftw, though. That ending really ruined everything previous episodes have said. I don't think I can watch anymore, not the way I did. Not even Hodgins and Sweets can keep me watching so excitedly, which just shows how upsetting that was. It would have been more acceptable if the actor wanted to leave the show, but where the writers pulled that episode from probably shouldn't be mentioned in respectable society. Gormagon was interesting, why turn the story line into a boring conclusion. It would have been better if something was revealed to the audience but not the cast, just a single scene at the end of the episode to prepare for a more in depth conclusion next season. Or if it had been a twist where someone took down Gormagon on their own or something. ...This has turned into a way to pick up my spirits, so it shall end (since Hillary is probably the only one who has seen any Bones).

House was an excellent ending to the season, even though it was so incredibly sad. I almost forgot what it was like to enjoy and agree with a season finale for any show, good job House! I have a lot of hope for NCIS, especially with the last two episodes (Ziva & Jimmy are ♥s!).

On a different side of things, the anime crowd is making me want to go to some sort of convention. I'll see if I have the money to waste five years from now. (Doctor Who guys are easy to pick to cosplay as, but what girl companion could I be? I'd pick Leela if I was better at sewing and was more comfortable in my own skin.)

According to Livejournal its been five weeks since I updated. I figure its about time for me to post an entry randomly talking about whatever I can remember from that time. Which isn't much, what with leaving my brain on half-impulse power.

I got to paint. Yes, you read that right. Granted it was only some of the windows, but its better than nothing. My mother apparently still can't believe I'm complaining about not painting in kindergarten, but that just goes to show she doesn't know how long I'm willing to hold petty non-grudges.

Oh Char, guess what. I have the Armageddon Factor (last in the Key to Time). It was in the DVD player. Unless you have it in the case, then I have a magical duplicator DVD player. And I don't think you'll get your book back anytime soon, considering I've randomly decided to actually watch a story of Seven's before reading any novels involving him. And I finished the first book and started another, ho-hum.

Yesterday I started reading Catch-22. I'm finally getting around to reading it, yes. I've noticed that I really don't seem to read the books everyone else does, or at least I don't read them until several years after everyone else has, and therefore I do not fully understand what they are referencing from it. I read weird history books, lesser known science fiction novels, and comics of various shapes and sizes. This is without considering things I read online, mainly because that opens up a whole other sushi role.

[time elapse]
I actually started typing this a day or three ago, but then completely forgot about it. I might have been just about to type something that isn't the random drivel. Now we'll never know, unless time is rewound for the purpose of seeing what it was I was about to type. What a shock if someone did that and it turned out to be "cheese carts go slow". Maybe in the future that will be an important piece of information. You heard it here folks, look to the seaports.

Well, Hillary sent me a nudge 'cause I haven't posted in awhile. I was just going to make a post saying "No.", but for now I figure I might as well say something.

I think I'm actually going to really start using this thing now. And I'll probably actually comment on entries (though a lot of entries recently have been on more emotional issues and I'm not always the best person for that).

Things are going relatively well for me, in fact I think I may be getting close to that elusive feeling: happiness. Well, maybe not really but I do feel more content (that is, after I get over any moments of panic I may have.) UIC is pretty nice and I like it there. But how do I keep ending up with classes were the material overlaps at times? I don't know.

Also, I'm making icons now! Shocking, I know, but it gives me something to do. I've posted all my crappy, older icons and will probably post the newer, better ones on Monday. So far I've only got The Avengers, Historical, Doctor Who, and Torchwood ones up but Monkee and Labyrinth icons are planned for the nearer future. I'll probably post them to communities on Monday as well. Yikes! ....am I a full geek now?

Bought and watched The Mind Robber for the first time yesterday. And when I bought it my dad said it wasn't one of the better ones - pshaw! It was the first episode I saw with Zoe too. That fight scene and catsuit reminded me of Emma Peel, only a bit clumsy. I think the second doctor just beat out the fifth on my list. My dad was making fun of the special effects while I was watching it. I don't get why people make such a deal out of the effects. The old stuff scares me more. (If anyone's seen the movie The Crawling Hand, that freaked the hell outta me, no joke.)

Also, Billie Piper and her music (oh so good!) have been interfering with the Bowie/Fleetwood mix I've been going for recently. But to listen to her I have to watch her videos on YouTube, and those are distracting. The dancing makes me giggle. Seriously, watch -- Something Deep Inside

I got up this morning and it was pouring. I hate wanting to be out in the rain but not wanting to walk there. But its going to cool down so that's good.

Do you people know how hot David Bowie is? He is, very much so. Everyone go out and watch Labyrinth.

Doctor Who is now over and I can't wait for next season to start up, even though I've only seen half of season 27. I'm waiting for the DVD price to go down (it's $70!). And I'm still waiting for Key to Time, I miss me my First Romana.

There's a channel you people should check out if you have HDTV. It's called the Tube and its 9-2. Good music when the only thing on is the news. (I hate 10 o'clock newscasts.)

Also - Happy Birthday Dame Diana Rigg!

Yeah, so I should be doing something productive, but it's 11 and I want to be on the computer so I made myself a new layout. ^_^ I think it looks pretty, but then again I never see my own mistakes so check it over and tell me if it looks decent.

Also I've been told that I might be taken out driving sometime. With Luis. I think that is something I should laugh at and yet fear to some extent, just for safety's sake.

Christmas is coming up and for some reason I have the urge to ask for some action figures. Maybe I'm too lazy to get the Barbie's from the basement, or I just prefer figures with bending joints and equipped with weapons. O-o"

In conclusion, I love Faulty Towers. I need to get Dad to get it on DVD.

Yup, I'm waking this journal up from it's summer slumber. All new icons to go with semi-grand re-opening. I also think this may be a Pete Yorn year, not quite sure though - check back soon.

I've so got to see this today. If I don't go I'll be sad.

And dude! My hair and eyes are like the original Seto Kaiba! ^_^

You're a Slytherclaw!: By nature you are rational
and a realist. Some people may call you cynical
and elitist but this doesn't matter to you. You
don't depend on other people's opinions to
determine how you live your life. You are
generally cautious and prefer to weigh the
consequences before you act. In conflicts you
prefer to remain neutral and aloof. You value
intelligence and you are a natural diplomat,
you can convince people to do what you want
them to do. Your weakness is that you sometimes
think more with your head than with your heart
and it leads to isolation. With the
intelligence of a Ravenclaw and the subtlety of
a Slytherin you will be sure to achieve all
your goals!

Green is your Lightsaber's color.

Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth,
harmony, and freshness. Green has strong
emotional correspondence with safety. Green is
also commonly associated with wealth and
happiness, so someone with a green lightsaber
like yourself is a fortunate soul.
