Just checked my email, and it turns out I was wrong. Peer advisees have not been assigned yet. Those listed on the website were from last year.
50 HOURS UNTIL SERENITY!
*snorks* You know how I spent most of yesterday on my Animation homework? It turns out I misread the assignment and accidentally did three weeks’ worth of work. And to think, at Penn, I would have considered this a “light” assignment. (Of course, that might be because my professor was crazy).
I’m really going to have to work on my communication skills.
Oh. So that’s why I haven’t heard anything regarding the assignment of my Peer Advisees over in a month. They’ve already been assigned, and somehow my name as an advisor was lost in the shuffle. That’s obnoxious. I hope it’s not too late for them to fix their mistake.
FOUR DAYS. 105 HOURS. EEEEEEEE!!!!!
Re: The Spike and Wes “Percy” thing, upon a repeat viewing of “A Hole in the World”.
If Spike has seen The Nightmare Before Christmas, I’m willing to bet he’s read Harry Potter. The sentimental sap in me wants to imagine that he and Dawn read it together in the summer after Buffy died.
And I need to stop reading fluff.
Rented Wonderfalls on a whim when out for dinner, was immediately sucked in, and watched the first six episodes in one sitting. I would have watched more, but I wanted to save some for tomorrow, given that there are only 13 episodes. WHY WAS THIS SHOW CANCELLED? What is it about Tim Minear that turns TV execs into gibbering morons?
FIVE DAYS, TEN HOURS.
Got together with Chungy, Eunice, and Mein Schlienen last night. Originally we were all going to Chungy’s for dinner, as her mom had offered to make us authentic Korean cuisine, but she’d had a long day, so we didn’t want to impose. Instead, we had dinner at Chili’s for old times’ sake, got gelato at Paciugo, then returned to my house to watch an anime called Appleseed and some Firefly. Appleseed was gorgeous — I think I missed half the dialogue just admiring the blend of CG and traditional 2D animation.
Firefly was interesting, as Chungy had somehow gotten it into her head that there was a lot of teen angst-type drama on the show. I wanted to make her rewatch the episodes she’d seen (“Serenity”, “The Train Job”, “Our Mrs Reynolds”, and “Jaynestown”), because I don’t have the foggiest clue how she could misremembered so severely, but as Marcelina had been with us when we watched those four episodes, I didn’t want to make her rewatch an episode for Chungy’s sake when she was already so excited about the show. Instead, we watched “Ariel”, which I felt had a good representation of the Firefly dynamic, without necessarily requiring a lot of backstory for Eunice’s sake (who hadn’t seen any).
After that, everyone went home, and I vowed to fix Chungy’s bizarre misconception through excessive consumption of Whedon-y goodness. I only wish that we’d been able to convert her earlier, so that she could have seen Serenity with us. Oh well, I sincerely doubt that the May 26th screenings will be the last ones, so it’s probably not too late.
(Oh, and Rachel — Marcelina agrees with me that Cherise would make a much better Zoe, if only for the hair. Hah!)
Dear god. And people are shocked and horrified when our soldiers are abused by their captors.
Responses to Comments:
Tori: I loves you back!
Schlien: Oh, I agree that Jin was always attractive. The man is gorgeous. But in this episode it was like WOAH HOLD ME BACK.
Allison: I adore my shallow, self-absorbed, ridiculous, stupid blondes. My love for movie!Zaphod (only because his hair color is not book-canon), Glory, Harmony, and Galinda (to name a few) knows no bounds. But those characters had the force of personality to back up their ego. Shannon is shallow, self-absorbed, ridiculous, and an introvert. And while she had no difficulty translating Danielle’s message (spoken quite rapidly — I couldn’t keep up and I’ve had years of French), she had trouble translating “azur infinie” to “blue infinity” when it was written out on paper. Useless. And regardless of how much I dislike the pairing, I think that being with Sayid is probably the last thing she needs right now. Now that Boone is gone, she finally has the opportunity to learn to fend for herself and not be completely reliant on others. I hope Sayid recognizes this and doesn’t let her just transfer all her needyness from Boone onto him.
Renata: Every time my friends get together to watch Eddie Izzard, I somehow always have somewhere else I need to be. I’ve seen short snippets of his routines, and I think he’s quite possibly one of the funniest people on the planet, so I must now give up on the notion of watching the DVDs with my friends and just go out and rent them myself. :D
Meghan: Fabulous! Do you know where I can download any Veronica Mars episodes?
Keith: Mostly it was about his reaction to the gay marriages in California last year. I found his remarks at best short-sighted and insensitive, and at worst downright offensive.
Beth: Alan Tudyk in a nun’s habit? Bwahaha, YES. And something tells me he could SO pull it off.
Meghan again: Alan Tudyk suspended from the ceiling in a glittery thong/leotard in Spamalot? I am so afraid. For some reason, I’m getting visions of Alan as Rocky, singing “The Sword of Damocles.” And it doesn’t help my mental images to know that Anthony Head has actually played Frank.
