gobble?

So walking across campus at night alone is creepy, but only when it's cold outside? reason? I have no idea. Probably because there are less people and you feel like a giant puffball with no manueverability with all the warm clothes on.

On that note, I am going to FREEZE in London next semester and better find some warm clothes before I go or buy some immediately upon arrival.

Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou soundtrack is awesome. Mainly the Ping Island Attack song.

I made a London Travels Diary out of my LiveJournal account that I never use so that when I am in London you can all keep up with my travels! So from January-May, it will hopefully have pictures and stories and adventures.

Puns are my absolute favorite.

I've developed this horrible habit of sitting outside in the courtyard, no matter how poorly dressed we all are for the weather, for hours at a time talking about life and philosophy and other important things except sometimes we talk about Guitar Hero and coffee and crosswords. At any rate, it's a nice way to spend the time in between class. However, as the courtyard is in between my dorm and the library and I can't ever study in my room I always get sidetracked and have thus gotten WAY behind on my reading and paper writing. Problem.

I wish American Dreams was still on TV. Or that Seasons 2 and 3 were on DVD and I could buy and watch them and cherish them ahhhhhhhhhhh I LOVE THAT SHOW! It hurts sometimes.

I finished (basically) my research paper for German History today. The formatting is right and whatnot. All that's left is to finish proofing the rest of it (I've done 12, 5 to go!) and maybe reworking the last 2 pages. lalalalalala Hitler is evil (it's about the German Resistance to Hitler 1933-1945 . . . in case you care).

I need to read 200 pages of Mansfield Park by Monday and tomorrow I'm going to see this ridiculously talented piano player play some of Beethoven's Sonatas and perform a duet with his Van Cliburn winning teacher. For free. TCU has it's perks. But then it also has what looks like Bosnia/war zone in front of the Student Center and my dorm, so there are good and bad things.

According to The Economist, countries hire advertising people to advertise for their countries in other countries to increase positive public opinion. After Borat, Kazachstan is apparently trying to hire one. The U.S. has been doing it for awhile, but apparently it's not working and the public opinion keeps going down despite the advertisments.

I really really really don't understand the point of guns and war and violence and fighting. I don't think anyone will ever explain to me how it makes sense or solves anything. I mean, I've heard all the excuses for it, you know, as a foreign policy solution. It's so stupid. I just don't understand it, not at all.

Yesterday my sandals broke so I decided I would invest in some that wouldn't fall apart. My Birkenstocks are officially amazingly comfortable. Also, I feel like a hippie when I wear it with my wool poncho. awesome. Even though it was in the 50s this afternoon, the sandals with the poncho was lovely.

Shit. I need to write some essays man, for seriousl. They're all due this week! Ahhhhhhh.

Um Southlake kiddos who are Giving Thanks next week in the Bubble, we better have some super awesome turkey parties! Let's blow this popsicle stand, paint the town, run amuck and cause a ruckus. Hardcore.
