What do you want to do B1? Well I don't know B2.

I'm going up to CalState Monterey Bay this weekend with my little brother and parents. I'm looking forward to the mini vacation, it's been a while. Although I probably shouldn't go, I have so much work to do. But I kind of want to just get away for a little bit. Every so often I feel that way. Its my extremely overdeveloped fight or flight response.

Terence came over today (with cookies) and grilled me on sitcom theme songs which led to at least an hour of mindless youtube searching that resulted in 90's cartoons intro's, 80's cartoons intros, banana's in pajamas and Richard Scarry's Busy Town. I miss the youngin days of fun filled wholesome(ish) tv. Kids shows today are so disappointing =/

Since I have come to favor the visual aids/vids in my posts I've included some of my fave picks from today. Youtube really should pay me to go throw their content and find the best stuff because I spend way too much time on there daily.








I dont know how many times I sang "Zumting iz not right" when I was younger and annoyed the heck out of my mom.


and i never watched this show but I kind of wish I did...it's only posted here because of the spice girls intro =)


goodnight :)

Omg.

one of the things I don't like about blogging/ journaling in general is the fact that I tend to always go back and read what I wrote and think that I was completely delusional when I wrote it. For example, when I wrote that I would like to work a "9-5 job in fashion"...HELLOOOO I think i momentarily had a meltdown because there's no such thing as a 9-5 job in the fashion industry. its a 24/7 job. So i revise my previous mention of 9-5 to 24/7. Just a minor numbers mix-up. It could happen to anyone.


My goal for today was to put a large dent in my COMM 201 writing assignment but I've been twittering (i can't seem to bring myself to say "tweeting" comfortably, i keep imagining myself as a large, awkward bird) and getting lost on style.com for the past hour so we shall see how that goes. I found my interesting youtube of the day though.


Hahaha i feel so dumb for not knowing what a "sideshow" was prior to this video, although I do enjoy the Traxamillion/Mistah F.A.B. song.

I feel like i should be a professional interesting youtube finder. I'm way too obsessed with videosharing content.

pets

So yesterday i decided after looking at an old friend's blog, that I really want a pet rabbit.  They are very cute, and I have never had one before so I'm curious to see if I am a rabbit person.


However today I visited the blog of my former newswriting professor Celeste Fremon, (witnessla.com) and she posted a video from the LA Times website of a baby pig named Kingsford.  Now I loved Charlotte's Web as much as the next person but watching little Kingsford frolick in the sand and attempt to climb a set of stairs was heartwarming.  So now I want a pig, too. 

Perhaps I should move to kansas and buy a farm.  Too bad even I couldn't make overall's trendy.

The Bunny Blues

I have the sudden urge to get a bunny. They are just so cute.  I think I will get one soon.

Jigsaw Falling Into Place

Members of the USC Marching Band performed with Radiohead at the Grammy's last night.  One of those members was Toni, one of my suitemates from last year in Fluor Tower.  It was so amazing.  She can now tell her kids she performed onstage at the Grammy's. That's insane!


It's sunny but cold.  And its apparently going to rain later on, which sucks considering I'm biking to work in about 10 minutes and when I get out my seat may be drenched and I'll have to bike back. Then I'll have two classes and wont get done until 9-930. Boo.

I feel like I should conquer my PR Project Topic today or tomorrow...considering the rest of today will be hectic I'm shooting for tomorrow.  I need to get on that asap if I'm to avoid nuclear stress meltdown later on.  Goal for today: finish my study guide for Comm203 and start going over the book for my 204 midterm on wednesday. 


...Can't wait until the weekend.

earl grey tea

Lauren and I just spent an hour watching the gay channel on TV.   It's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! there's a drag queen top model called " RuPaul's Drag Race" which is basically the most interesting tv show on.  Also, the music videos they play go above and beyond regular music videos but im not sure that's in a good thing...


Jessica and I are going to see Lily Allen in April! I'm super excited because I realllllly wanted to see her last time she was in LA but tickets sold out before I got around to buying.  So I'm very happy :)

I haven't done as much homework as I should have by now... I probably should get on that ASAP.

I Don't Like it unless it's Brand New.

I mentioned to Jess yesterday night that I wanted to get a blog... well I had momentarily forgotten that in fact I DO already have one.  One that I have been ignoring terribly....sorry poor lil' bloggy :(

I feel like I have failed in many respects in the past few weeks.. I have yet to come up with a feasible topic for my PR project, have yet to contact sponsors for the FIA fashion show in April, and have yet to really decide on my major/minors. It's hard for me to even articulate what I want to do with my life, which makes it even more difficult to think about what major makes the most sense.
Sure, I do have certain ideas about what I want spurts of my life to look like.  I definitely want to go to London.  It would be amazing to live there for a year after college, just working some 9-5 job in fashion or communications.  The rest of my life I envision with a pen, documenting everything.  Journalism was appropriate for that, except I don't want to write about what my editors tell me the people should know. I want to write about what I think they should know.  Too bad people don't just become novelists anymore (at least people who arent already wealthy or who dont mind living in a box) and frankly I don't think I fall into either category.  So I think my best bet is doing something else thats interesting, but writing on the side.  And then if I hate that, once I get finances in order I can just focus wholeheartedly on writing.
Maybe I should work for the UN because that knocks out two of my life goals--one, making a difference in the world, and two--travel.  I have always been interested in human rights, in particular.  Perhaps a double major in IR or PoliSci is in order... 

Before I went into self-examining my life, I had intended to write about the new Lily Allen CD, It's Not Me, It's You.  I downloaded it yesterday (although I do plan on purchasing it Tuesday, so I don't feel guilty at all).  The thing I like about Lily as an artist in particular is her witty lyrics.  Her stuffy/sweet british-accented voice disguises a lot of the irony in her work, and it gives her songs sweet overtones.   She also has a really cute sense of style which probably makes me like her a bit more as well.  As for top tracks, I think my favorites are "I Could Say," "Fuck You," and "Not Fair."  But I like a lot of them, so I feel like those three aren't necessarily accurate.

I had planned on devoting my entire afternoon to homework... and I have yet to crack open a book.. So I think the time is now.
