 I really ought to start doing my work and going to class, just so i don't flunk out my last semester of school ever. Maybe.

My diet on Wednesday consisted entirely of chicken fingers, french fries, ice cream, and vodka. I AM A HEALTHY PERSON.
So, just like every other year in which the Olympic games take place, i... am obsessed with the Olympics. Well, i haven't been quite as into it as other years, but it's still good times. Short track speed skating still gives me HEART ATTACKS, and snowboard cross was completely awesome (it's like SSX in real life!) as well as anxiety-inducing. Of course, figure skating has always been my favorite- poor Evan Lysacek should have medaled just for how perfect his long program was, and i was kind of shocked that none of the girls' long programs were really spectacular. I was happy the Japanese girl won, though, and aside from the two falls, Sasha Cohen was amazing, her spins and everything are just so clean and lovely. Joey Cheek has been my favorite Olympian this year. ADORABLE. (i love it when the nice, cute ones are really good at what they do and, like, win and stuff!)
The Top Gear Winter Olympics special is the funniest, coolest thing EVER. (car versus bobsled! car ice hockey! car ski jump!) Seriously, if you happen to like funny things and cool things, it's totally worth a viewing.
I finally, finally saw Brokeback Mountain today. God, it was so gorgeous and quiet and soul-crushingly sad. All of which i pretty much knew it would be, but... MAN. It hurt. Also, Jake and Heath are really ridiculously hot, BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT. I think this is the only Oscar contender i've seen now, so i hope it wins everything! Wheee. I'M COMPLETELY DEPRESSED NOW.

OMG Lens Blur! I love lens blurs, and it has always bugged the shit out of me how crappy gaussian blur looks! Reduce Noise! Smart Blur doesn't look like total ass! IT DOESN'T ALL FREEZE UP AFTER FIVE MINUTES! I can actually open other programs while PS is open! There are a lot of strange new functions that i have no idea what they do and will probably ignore just like i always did with the things i never taught myself in 5.0! It still feels strangely unfamiliar to use but it is mostly organized the same way as always!
Oh, Photoshop. Teacher, mother, seeecret looover.

Holy shit, i have Photoshop CS2. No, like, HOLY SHIT. I have had 5.0 since i first started using PS, like, eight years ago. EIGHT YEARS. I... just... i'm so comfortable with 5! But it's been crashing ALL THE TIME (maybe because it's... version 5.0? And this is the year 2006?) and it's become a total hassle to even get it to open without freezing, let alone make anything. So i got CS2 from my brother. And i just installed it. And it's SCARY! Things are different and stuff! I haven't been scared of PS in a very, very long time, but now it's all intimidating-looking like Illustrator and it makes me sad. PS is my comfort program! SOB. I DON'T LIKE NEW VERSIONS OF THINGS. AND MAYBE I KIND OF ENJOYED LIVING IN THE DARK AGES.

I don't think i've done any homework in at least two weeks. And it seems like the last few weeks have gone by really fast because i'm constantly wishing for them to be over, but then... the weekends are over practically instantaneously. And i get NOTHING DONE. Seriously, this weekend i: finished watching season one of Grey's Anatomy (Geoooooooorge!); slept until 1-2:00 in the afternoon every day; ate a lot of Starburst. The only productive things i did were going grocery shopping and cleaning the bathroom, but those only took maybe a total of two hours. Out of three days. WHERE DID THE REST OF THE TIME GO?!? I don't understand.
It's probably not the coolest thing in the world to advertise over the internet that i have no life whatsoever. OH WELL!

The eternal social conundrum that i hate: running into someone you were briefly friends with a long time ago. You see them, and you recognize them, but since you didn't know them very well and it's been a long time since you even talked, you have no idea what your standing is with them or if they a) remember you, or b) care to talk to you. You could: 1) make eye contact, smile politely, and possibly say hello, acknowledging their presence but not making awkward small talk; 2) enthusiastically say hello, ask how they are, etc., pretending that it's not at all weird that you're not actually friends and haven't spoken in a few years; 3) ignore them completely. I always go with number 3, but it's a tricky situation- you have to make sure you avoid eye contact and look like you're too wrapped up in your own thoughts/awesome life/examination of fascinating buildings to pay attention, so if they remember you, it just seems like you didn't see them, which is entirely plausible and saves you from any weirdness.
Maybe this is why i don't have any friends.
