 Yesterday was keen! I stopped by the comics shop (not a huge selection, but hey! It's across the street!) to pick up a comic Jimmy recced. They didn't have it, but they had the fourth trade of Runaways (gotta catch up before Joss takes over), and they randomly had Dave McKean's Cages! I've been wanting to get my hands on it, but Amazon is sold out! Bwee!
I also went to Ko's dance show, which ROCKED THE HOUSE. Ko = talented + brilliant + pretty, curse her! And speaking of her brilliance, she is ONE OF TWELVE FINALISTS FOR THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS. She just found out last night. There has been so much squee in this room since then, it's like we're hosting a convention of Legolas fangirls. She needs to write a 50-word blurb about herself for her Marshall Scholarship interview tomorrow, but because she's so busy, I hired my five-year-old self to do it for her (I love how my usual handwriting is even messier than that). Unfortunately, five-year-old-me can't count very well Did I ever mention my new lamp in my blog? I should have. Because it's COOLER THAN ANYTHING YOU WILL EVER POSSESS IN YOUR INADEQUATE LIFETIME. I got it a couple weeks ago to replace the one CollegeBoxes lost. And it actually gives off a lot more light than you would expect from that picture, stupid lying camera. I also met with my computer science TA, and we fixed a problem that had been plaguing me all last week. I'm now in the home stretch of my project! Speaking of squee (see above, re: RHODES FINALIST), I got to meet the Brothers Quay in my film class on Thursday! If you haven't seen any of their gorgeous and trippy stop-motion films, do so ASAP! Some Links and a Meme: Can I be Masi Oka when I grow up? Asylum Street Spankers: Stick Magnetic Ribbons on your SUV And a new Potter Puppet Pals episode: Wizard Angst! You paid attention during 97% of high school! 85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high! Good show, old chap!

Ko truly is BRILLIANT AND BEAUTIFUL! We're so proud of you, KO,--what a thrill! I truly am in tears when I think about how deserving she is of this honor! I wish I could've seen the performance last night. I know it was exciting too. Good luck, Ko! We'll be thinking of you and sending positive energy! --P's Mum

uh....that last comment was from me. i dont know who that jimmty guy is! (typing too fast will do that to you.)
I am amused that your lamp is just like mine, but more colorful. I must admit that yours wins a bit more, though. Was yours a Target purchase as well?
And Runaways = always a good purchase.
hooray for ko! hooray for 5-year-old priscilla's bio-writing skillz!
i've seen that lamp somewhere before... someone i know has one? i think? it's giving me weird lamp deja vu. it's definitely an excellent light source, though.
This is an emotional rollercoaster of a post. First I was all like, "YAY, KO!" and then I was like, "Oooh, I have a lamp like that!" and then I went "OMFGBROTHERSQUAY!!!!" I really wanted to see them in NYC, but it's not exactly the easiest trip to make from here. Also, new movie out soon? So excited. *explodes*
