I got my Maya working again!
The Universe: 0
Me: Ten billion
Now back to math homework and studying for my CSE midterm!
The Universe: *breaks the scoreboard*
Me: Negative infinity
Stupid Ben Franklin and his stupid useless daylight saving time. Bleh.
I bet they don’t have a stupid human concept like Daylight Saving Time on the TARDIS. That’s one tiny reason why I’m so excited about the new Doctor Who Season 2 Trailer! Thanks to Wisteria. The word of the day is GUH. I can’t wait until it comes to the US!
Also stupid Izzy and Zoe’s. They used to have enormous, fantastically delicious muffins, half the size of my head! But since Spring Break, they’ve been replaced with inferior, normal-sized muffins for the same price. They also appear to be skimping on the ingredients in my bagel sandwich. Bad form, Izzy and Zoe’s!
The “date” went fine! Weather.com decided to pull an April Fool’s joke on me and said that it was going to be in the 60s for most of the evening, so I went sleeveless, but the high winds were enough to make me uncomfortable. Fortunately, everywhere we went was within a block, so it wasn’t an inconvenience.
We had Chinese at Won and discussed classes and DMD-related dorkishness, then saw Ice Age 2. I think we were the only people in the theatre that weren’t infants or the parents of infants. The one-year-old beside me, sitting in her mother’s lap, danced energetically to the music and acted enthusiastically with the characters, much to her mother’s chagrin and much to my amusement. The kids were loud, but never really obnoxious, somehow. Ususally, kids in the theatre irritate the heck out of me. I don’t know what was different tonight.
We got Ben & Jerry’s afterward, where we talked about our characters we’ve modelled and our plans for demo reels and such over chocolatey goodness, then he walked me back to my dorm. We parted with a hug. Any analysis of these events will probably hinge on our interactions next Tuesday, as we get out of class at the same time and occasionally run into each other at the cybercafe.
And now, back to studying!
I’ve got a daaaaate! Or something approaching one! *does a dance*
Okay, so it probably doesn’t qualify as a date, just going to dinner and a movie with a friend of the opposite sex who I think is extremely cute. Allow me my delusions.
I’ve got a daaaaaaate!
Wednesday’s Lost. Was that Nadia?
And dude, when did this show start being awesome again?
Tonight I went to a free screening of Antonio Banderas’ new movie, Take the Lead. Lots of fun and lots of great dancing!
As for Smallville, lots of James scenes means minimal fast forward-age. And in the last scene? Four Jameses! Oh, it does this fangirl’s heart good. This would be twice as fun as those scenes with TheFirst!Spike if only the dialogue wasn’t so bad! And I’ve replayed his last line several times, but I keep hearing him say “We need more salmons.” I can’t fathom what he actually is supposed to be saying. Aside: Is James being typecast as a guy that likes shoving metal spikes through people’s heads?
I’m amazed that this show is still on the air. I can’t help feeling that we’ve seen this exact plot at least two dozen times. And Clark and Lana appear to be in the same place as they were years ago. I’d hope that maybe Clark can now move on to someone not Lana who’s also not evil, but I somehow doubt that will ever happen on this show. Ah well!
Umm, happy 41st birthday to Juliet Landau, and happy belated 35th birthday (March 27th) to Nathan Fillion!

*laughs* Oh, continuity! My heart beats! Sam reports that in addition to Blackadder and New Yankee Workshop, House TiVos Monster Truck Jam, The O.C., and Spongebob. Monster Trucks and The O.C. we knew about beforehand, but Spongebob? Looks like there’s more than one ambiguously gay duo about, because Tuesday’s episode was like a treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide. If House/Wilson was an HP ship, it would have some dorky nickname that somehow references macadamia nut pancakes.
*laughs* On my Amazon wishlist, instead of “highest” priority, certain items have instead been classified as “Muss ich haben”. Everything else is still in English. A glitch? A funny one.
