Resolution #15
No need to go over Resolution 15 anymore. But seriously. I’ve never realized the stack of things I own that I’ve never watched. In some cases, these were gifts from people and it’s like “Oh… Thanks, yes, I enjoyed the first Sandlot movie. But uh… this decade-late-direct-to-DVD-sequel should be just as good.”
I’ve wanted to watch this one since I...

Resolution #15
So, this week, as the movie I keep meaning to watch but never get around to, I picked Reservoir Dogs. Put out in 1992 by Quentin Tarantino, this movie has been in my possession for at least seven years, if not longer. I purchased this at A&B Sound during a Boxing Day sale. I did sit down to try to watch it once before but as I recall, I got bored.
When Grindhouse came out and Quentin...

Watch movies you’ve always wanted to see but haven’t had the time for
So, yesterday I have seven hours between the end of work and the start of classes. Rather than do anything productive in between, I crocheted a scarf for a friend’s sibling and watched Silence of the Lambs.
Nothing fascinates me the way the psychology of serial killers, and I’ve had this movie on my To Watch list...

Ways to be Awesome in 2012
Crochet something for myself and for someone else
Cross-stitch something for myself and for someone else
Travel to see Mitchell
Correspond more with the people I care about
Use technology to my benefit with regards to organization
Create and keep self-imposed deadlines
Find a boy who deserves that midnight kiss and give him a kiss
Graduate my program
Remain friends with those who deserve...

2011 in a nutshell
I made a big long post with all of my recommendations and advice from the year, because I’m only a year older, but I’d like to be more than a year wiser. Tumblr didn’t save all of it for me like it was supposed to.
I think the advice went something like this:
Don’t let the hand you hold be the hand that holds you down.
People are always going to let you down, you...

Pet Peeve
Seriously. Mixing up possessive “your” and contraction “you’re” is not acceptable after the age of seven.

Reason #21753467 I Love My Father
Dad: You should probably eventually fix your hood, bumper, and door handles.
Me: Do they affect the car's ability to go?
Dad: No, they don't affect performance but they affect resale.
Me: Dad, think about what you just said and relate it to my use of things. In all honesty, I will drive that car until it simply does not go any longer and repairs can't make it go any longer.
Dad: Ah, yes, the "does it work" principle.
Me: If I wanted to blow money on something useless, I'd develop a crack habit. I'm going to bed.
Dad: Night!

Last Night on the Mass Pike
Oh. Man.
So, it’s been established that I like sitting in parking lots at night, smoking/drinking coffee/reading/dicking around on my phone. This should not be new to anyone reading.
It’s also established that I am functionally retarded when it comes to social situations, particularly those involving the opposite sex. I can never see anything coming.
So. I’m sitting in the...

Could I be getting soft in my old age?
Examples as a proof for a positive answer to the titular question of this post?
Driving back to school to help a friend with his accounting project, even though mine was done on Friday.
Doing my best to get a stolen iPod back to its owner.
Doing Christmas shopping for my father.
Acting as harmonizer between my parents and my older brother.
I think the obvious answer to this question is, yes....
Familia ante omnia
But you can always choose your family.
Another busy Saturday in the works:
Christmas shopping
Paper writing
Paper writing
Cheesecake baking
Review writing
Jean shopping
Decorating
See you on the other side. Unless you’re Meghan, then I’m going to try to see you on this side.
enidan asked: Melinda! Do you have a goodreads account?
Oh Frabjuous Day!
Ging is back in class. He’s been dying the death all week and the poor guy is showing it. Even his hair looks like it’s been sick for the last week.
I got some grades I’ve been waiting for this week. I’m starting to wonder if I’m actually this smart or if it’s kind of like “Yeah, we’re just killing time before Christmas.”
It was an...

I'm grinning on the inside
So. I’m in Law class and in my bag is sitting the book “The Shark Texts”. I did not leave the house with this book. I did not obtain it on the way to school. I did not receive it from my law teacher because she knows how much I love books.
Instead, I received it from Ging. Yep, short for Ginger, because that will be his codename on here. Maroo and Meghan know who he is....

Batman: Year One - My views
Oh! I recorded my latest podcast yesterday and for it I had to watch Batman: Year One. Now, for the record, I like Batman. You may know this already. I despise Batman: Year One as a story because Frank Miller hates women. Either way, I had to be the controversial one and say that I don’t actually like Frank Miller. I understand the importance of the book, but really, this is moreso Jim...
My parking isn't going to get any cheaper...
So I might as well use a little bit of time to reflect on everything I love about life right now. It seems cramps put me in a thankful mood.
Today, after class, one of the guys I consider myself buddies with waited a full ten minutes for the group discussion I was in to be done so we could go smoke together, even though it was the end of the day and he had beer plans. He always invites me on the...

Okay, so it really bugs me when I post and reblog lots of tv show/band related stuff and get likes or comments or whatever for that kind of stuff and when I post something personal, or something that’s important to me/I’d actually like some feedback from my friends, I don’t get anything. Okay, 2-3 notes (thanks christel :p), but never more. Like…. I’m asking myself...

I’m making this post so Maroo has something to look back on fondly. I like lists.
Lazing around in bed
Getting so tired from doing nothing that we have to go to bed
Taking a cab fifteen blocks because we’re so exhausted from doing nothing
All of the Followills all the time
“Yeah, he does!”
“He’s gonna have a period!”

If the world is ending, I hope Empires is throwing the party. Every so often, I forget why I love live shows. The drinks are overpriced, the sound is shit, and the place is crowded.
Then, on nights like tonight, I remember why I love live shows. The venue was made for 65 people, but there were about thirty. None of the bands that went on were huge, so it was a respectable turnout.
New Ghost, who...

theyvegotfakelove:
It’s tomorrow, if you wish to celebrate it. It’s really a day like all the rest, where no fucks are given, and we gather together to discuss all the things we give no fucks about.
Please note: No one was colonized during the creation of this national holiday.
Fucksgiving 2012 will be the colonization of Nashville and the release of the album “Yeah, He Does!”...
