shotty shorty.

Its nearly the end of june and I dont even have any blog posts to show what I have been up to! That in itself is sad. I'm still racking my brain trying to think of a good theme for this, I do like the idea of it being about "Nothing" but clearly people aren't so fond of that idea.

il dolce far niente

classes are over, I have nothing to do.
Typically I have nothing to write and no one to hear it. Maybe now that I don't about who hears it someone will eh?
I've made myself a lovely simple pasta lunch. Colorful noodles, parsley, garlic and a bit of cheese. And a couple fat juicy green olives. I pulled out an antique plate from the cabinet, pilled my heap of green and orange and white pasta on the plate and sat down on the floor and just went to town. I love the idea of being lost in a plate of pasta. It's so simple and plain. I could seriously just pack up before college, move my butt to Italy and get fat.

Smooth Criminal

So the most exciting thing that has happened to me in the last few days is....I finally saw the third episode of the new Doctor Who season! It's more than a little sad that this is the biggest thing in my week. Well, it really isn't but the other thing is totally beyond the valley of sad sap girliness.
On a totally random note I love Tina Turner. Actually I'm sitting in my ceramic class right now, and this totally jock just looked over to my ipod which is blaring and said "Is this James Bond?" I nodded in satisfaction because we are INDEED listening to Tina's Bond theme song. I can't lie, this is a pretty damn sexy song. Even more so now that this football player is singing along way out of key. He just admitted that James Bond is sexy. It's so true.
Kari stop reading over my shoulder. Wait! Come back! I'm typing like I'm talking to you and you walked away!! Seriously.... look over here. KARI!!! Stop carving and read this. Now. Fine. Jerk.
And now apparently I am into midget porn.
This is the last time I write a blog in ceramics class with these people.
Back to Doctor Who (oh good God now he is singing to Smooth Criminal) I rather liked the most recent episode, it wasn't as dark and depressing as the first two. River wasn't in it, which means no super sad "'Woe is meee" stuff from her, I mean I love River, she is fantastic, but COME ON. Let it go, you're totally robbing the cradle with Matt Smith as the Doctor. Go for Christopher. Maybe even David Tennant in your Library days, but not now. You're hot and all, but more of a hot aunt type.
I'm going to go sleep in the kiln room or something. It's been a thin slice of heaven. Toodles.

Come along Pond

I finally watched the new Doctor Who episode! Mind. Blown.
I can't lie, it was definitely intense. Annnd I just saw the new york peppermint patty ad. I know, I watch a lot of tv right? Well I can't walk to sue me. Anyway, I totally want a Subaru. Anyway back to DOCTOR WHO. Let me just say. AMY IS PREGNANT? What? I mean it was cute in "Amy's Choice" from last season, but that wasn't real. And I feel like last season was just more upbeat. A lot of sad stuff happened in this one, there's the legit scary aliens, River being all secretive and depressing about her and the Doctor. Amy and Rory being distant. It was in boring America, and the Doctor died in the first eight minutes.
Safe to say this entry is a clear rant.
On a completely random note, I want to know how people feel about illegal music downloading. Obviously it is a big trend. Its easy to see why people are against it, it is copyright theft. You're pretty much robbing the musiciansof their well earned money. Unless you're jacking something like 'Friday', which I don't know why you would. That song isn't worth the few seconds it would take to download. Though I have to admit, I sing it after class every friday because I am flat out giddy.
But then again, there is this scenario. Your mate gets this new album and you're like "Hey, that band sounds like a bit of alright, can you burn me a cd?" So they do, you listen to the songs and are totally like SWOON "I love this dudes voice" or "Wow that guitar is like crack!" or my favorite "Ahhhh face melting ukulele solo!" So what do you do? You go to walmart at 2am to go buy an itunes card so you can procure the entire discography of this new obsession. Right? Or is that just me....?
I wouldn't know about 2/3 of the music I love if not for my awesome friend Casey who just drills the tunes into my head like "You will love this, stop being a dumb ass, put the earphone in your head and listen to the magic." By the way Casey, if you're reading this which I doubt you are, THANK YOU. Nightmare of You changes my entire outlook on life. I am eternally grateful.
So what do you think, dear world wide web?

A Peaceful Afternoon

So as the the day went on it got more and more interesting.
First I went to our horribly outdated municipal court office to pay for my speeding ticket. Eek. I used to say I'm a great driver apart from my lead foot. I guess that finally caught up to me with the 80 in a 35. But that's all cleared up. Rad.
Next it was to hospital for some xrays. I don't understand why they don't believe I'm a superhero and I can easily get my own xrays. The tech asked if there is any chance I could be pregnant. I wanted to make a pun but I felt it would be lost on her, and then terror would ensue. I got a new cast, sadly I could not get eye burning orange like I had wanted. I did however have a fun time trying to plaster a big bow to the side of it, that was a bust, so I tried for a racing stripe. I tore it off in the car. After leaving the doc's my mum (yes, I am 18 years old, and my mum has to drive me around for a month) and I headed to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. As oppose to the Bureau of Stagnant Vehicles. There I procured something so coveted, so fantastic, so rare. I got a handicap parking pass! I've decided I can easily bribe people to drive me around by flashing that bright red pass.
Lastly on my afternoon adventure we went to the local jewelry store. Recently I gave them a family heirloom ring to re size and those loafers lost it. Got a nice call apologizing and saying they could recreate the ring, or I could find something else of equal or lesser value. I assumed a couple hundred dollars. No. I get there and the insurance price that was given to me....drum roll.....2,400 American dollars. I nearly tipped over in my crutches. I am now the owner of a nice diamond ring set and some lovely matching earrings.
So I suppose that is not my standard afternoon. I did go home and catch some z's.
I really wish I had something more comical to write about. Well, as of right now I am only talking to myself.
No worries. Hunky Dory.

Earthworms, lizzards, and bears. OH MY!

Today was rather dull. I couldn't wait to get home and post on my blog. Now, as I sit at my desk, I realize I have no topic. But the show must go on! So today, I shall spew totally random, completely useless crap.
For starters today I read about Chernobyl and the massive nuclear reactor mishap that occured there killing 30 people from the radiation. Now previously I only knew about Chernobyl because in the 1998 Godzilla film where the main character is studying Chernobyl earth worms that had apparently grown 18 percent. But anyway, I'm rambling. I looked at a few photos of this place today, 25 years later, and it is staggering. Everything was left right where it had been a quarter of a century ago. They discribed this town as 'inhabitable by humans for centuries'. Anyway, I just thought it was interesting. I've posted a link below in the doobley do.

On a somewhat less depressing note, I am talking to myself..... Super.
I suppose it's typing to myself rather than talking.

I shall return presently. Hopefully I will no longer be thinking in the pretetious British accent with Jane Austen era lingo. It really is rather bothersome eh?
Ta ta for now.

Horses For Courses

For the longest time I have wanted to start a blog. I've read loads of them, most are crazy creative, well planned and themed and usually include original photos or videos. Well, seeing as I can hardly use a camera, don't own a camera or a video recording device I was like "Well, crap."
Eventually I said screw it and decided to bite the bullet and make a blog minus the photos and such. But then I smashed face first into another wall. What the hell would I write about? School? No, I live that first hand that and it's deadly dull, and to be honest I mostly sleep through it. How about how I recently broke my leg and the difficulties of..... okay, no. The horse got shot in the face pretty quick. I don't cook, I don't do politics, obviously don;t take many photos of.....anything. I came up with a whole lot of nothing. Then it hit me. WHAM.
Write. About. Nothing.
Literally a blog about nothing. And for those Shakespeare buffs out there- get your minds out of the gutter.
But how brilliant? A blog with very little planning, no pressure except to scroll down random stream of consciousness ever day or so. I can write about the ridiculous things that happen to me, or about...haha....noooothing.
I can rant and gush and swear to my little heart's content (Mom, if your reading this, I'm sorry in advance) I can post about my bucket list. I can post from class, with great stealth and hacking the school wifi skills I might add.
So basically, if any of you get the Doctor Who reference from my 'leahliz10' name and this one right here..... I RULE.
