wombinations and such

Upcoming events:

• 10/30 - Lunch with Nick Pranno!, Halloween party at Kappa Sig.
• 11/1 - Math quiz I won't be ready for.
• 11/4 - Advisor meeting to register for classes.
• 11/9 - Reel Big Fish with Corinne.

If my check has gone through by the time I get out of work tomorrow, I'm going to haul ass down to the Apple Store and get myself one of those fancy little Apple TV's. I am so excited. Dance party in my room!

OH. SPEAKING OF MY ROOM...

EMILY MOVED OUT

and Corinne's beautiful face moved in.

About god damn time. As she was moving her shit out of my room, the above happened. I was getting so sick of her annoying little hints about going to The Keep and how much fun she has with the guys there. Other things that bothered me about her: Her attention-seeking sighs that I refused to give in to, her lack of personality and sense of humor, and the way she would turn the heat on high and open one of the windows. Oh and how she would talk to people about how she doesn't understand why I hate her or what she did to deserve my behavior. She just really, really sucks. I don't like people who suck.

I finally got around to hanging Balder back up above my bed. He's been chillen on my floor under the window ever since I rearranged my room a few weeks ago. He's lookin' gooooood. :)

Also, I've been tossing around some ideas for books with Corinne for a while now and they are starting to go into effect. One is a dictionary of wombinations (word combinations). Corinne has a sick obsession with combining words and the only logical solution would be to make a book of all the shit she comes up with. I may have mentioned my How-to Be A Total Fucking Creeper book idea before. It's basically the story of my life with a few instructions thrown in. I feel like it could really help some people out.

Here's some examples of wombinations:

1. Chorgasm - chocolate orgasm; The Comte de Reynaud had such an intense chorgasm that all of Lasquenet could hear his moans erupting from the front of the chocolaterie.
2. Flaid, Plannel - plaid flannel; Pat always look amazing in that purple flaid shirt, don't you think?
3. Fouple - fat couple; Get behind me, Coco, there's a fouple coming at us like a freight train.
4. Speemon - speed demon; Samantha is such a speemon when she drives. Good thing the pedestrians around here are observant.
5. Fanksy - fake Banksy; Looks like Fanksy struck again over on 9th and 9th..

This fanksy, which we have so lovingly named Blanche, can be found all over downtown Salt Lake. She's a big fan of hanging out on dumpsters and newspaper boxes.

I STILL HAVEN'T STARTED MY MIDTERM PAPER. AGGGGHH!

Yesterday was... interesting? I took Corinne out on a date to Takashi where we had some superb sushi, good edamame and vegetable tempura that didn't even come close to Happy Sumo's in taste.

Strawberry Fields: Escolar, strawberries, spicy sauce and fresh chili peppers inside, toasted almonds and eel sauce outside.

Buddha: Tempura-fried portabellas, green beans, sweet potatoes and carrots, topped with sweet sauce and sesame seeds.

Then we came back to the room and watched Mega Piranha... It was such a great movie. The acting was top-notch, the plot was very well written, and the special effects made me want to cry out with joy. Uhhn, I would definitely recommend it to everyone. ;) In case you didn't catch on, I was being sarcastic. It was a terrible movie. I don't think it was even worth the $5 that Corinne paid for it. If you really want to see it, watch it when you're either very high or very drunk so that it will actually seem okay. Otherwise, skip it and go straight to Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus.

Then we headed over to the Union for a Halloween-themed Crimson Nights. Corinne went in her sailor outfit again and I was just a kid from Missouri in a dress, haha. But I worked it. It wasn't very fun. There was a big sweaty dance floor where Drunk Werner was getting his groove on, along with button making and henna tattoos. We probably stayed for an hour and a half, most of which was probably spent looking for Werner and other people we knew. Then we sat in Jobe's living room talking and being bored. Or was that just me? I was bored out of my mind and wanted to leave the whole time. The fact that I was in a really poor mood didn't help much either, hah. Corinne and I bailed right after 2 am and came back to my bed to watch Splice with Joe. So we didn't end up going to bed until after 5 am.. meaning I was way too tired and unmotivated to go to my 8:45 Fall Training for work this morning.. oops. 

Things I need to accomplish today:

• Go to the City Library and return all of my books and movies.
• Volunteer with Corinne for her LEAP class.
• Try not to freeze my ass off at the Utah vs. CSU game tonight.
• Maybe start writing my paper so I'm not in Starbucks all day tomorrow doing it.

woo, 600 viewers!

We should start having a blog party every time I hit a hundred more viewers. Does that make sense? 700, 800, 900, etc. There will be cookies at the party for 1,000 viewers. I'll bake a cake, even. It'll be awesome.

Werner is sitting next to me. His feet smell terrible.

Werner: Wash your feet.

These pictures are from the first Saturday of Fall Break. The game plan had been to pre-game in Craig's room (1st picture), then go down to State St. where we would find hobos to buy us booze and go to 18+ clubs. We barely made it to State when I started hurling all over the car. Oh, it was lovely. Pulled over into some random parking lot so I could continue my puking spree and get some air. Obviously that didn't help because I fouled up the car again once we were back in it. We came back to 814 - somehow without getting caught by the part of RA's in the hallway that we passed - where I continued to die over Werner's toilet (2nd picture).

Joe, Corinne, Werner and I are watching Secret Window from my bed right now. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to write my midterm paper on... I should really pull my shit together since it's due Monday night and I'm gonna be way too busy that day to pull anything together right before class. So yeah, we're watching Secret Window so I can get some musical motivation.

The gang also went to Happy Sumo on Sunday for some dank ass sushi. It was SOO GOOD, oh mah gawd. Craig doesn't agree though.. He got sicky sicky, poor Alaskan. Here's a drawing of us I did on our placemat:

Emily, Craig, Corinne, Sam, Joe, Daniel, Werner

I should become an artist. Those stick figures are grade A.. A as in awesome!

One thing that I don't need but really, REALLY want is an Apple TV. Just look at it!

The problem is, I don't just have $99 lying around that I can spend on one. Or money to get Netflix to go along with it. I have about $250 in my bank account right now, $75 of which is going to Corinne for all the times she's had to lend me money. In the next couple of weeks before my next paycheck, I'll probably spend $40 on gas, $20 will go to Best Buy for my iPhone protection plan or whatevs, and $20 will go on my laundry card. That doesn't leave me any room to buy an Apple TV and live comfortably and without bumming money off of my parents. They're probably getting so sick of putting money in my account every couple of days. And putting money on my Starbucks card. I'm really determined to hit 30 stars and get a gold card. I'm at 16 stars now, I think, so I only have to get 14 more drinks before I get that gold card. 

Also, Werner suggested that I should make business cards for my blog. I don't think they're needed, but how effin' cool would that be? I'm going to get on that as soon as I have some free time. I'm sitting in Starbucks again now trying to come up with some ideas for my film midterm paper. I think I'm going to do "background music in cinema" but I'm having a hard time brainstorming any ideas. So far I've got the Lion King and the Batman movies. Hahaha. 

fall break

Werner seems to think that I need to make an update about my goings-on as of late instead of studying for my film midterm that's coming up on Monday. Priorities: he knows them.

This has probably been the most uneventful Fall Break in the history of Fall Breaks. I've sat in my room watching movies and my newly acquired cable television, reading books by Vladimir Nabokov, and putting off learning how to actually be successful in my math class. Corinne's been MIC (Missing in Colorado) since the weekend, Werner left me for three days, and now Craig is galavanting in Canada looking for boats.. Being alone does not suit me.

I finally got rid of Werner long enough to come down to Starbucks, order a venti Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte Frappuccino, and fill out my example midterm quiz. It's been a really difficult process. Thank God I have Google. I don't really want to spend the rest of my break re-reading the first six chapters of my film book... but it may be needed. :( I can't remember anything. I should stop sitting by Pat so I can actually pay attention to my professor when he's talking. sigh.

Something really bothered me yesterday when I was at work. All of the kids were together in the gym having free time when Norbu socked Casey in the eye over a bouncy ball that he wanted. I was walking Casey to the office to get an ice pack when his mom walked in to the building. She comes over and asks why he's crying and I explained, "He got hit in the face by another student, we're on our way to get an ice pack." She then gets down in his face and starts yelling, "Stop crying! You have no reason to be crying! Stop it! Breathe!" Casey just starts crying harder and can barely breathe correctly at this point and the whole time I'm just standing there like "O_O what the fuck." Joey Richter will demonstrate:

So then I walk them to the office to talk to my coordinator and Casey starts to finally cool down, but as we're walking back he says "You don't even care about me :(" in this super sad voice. And you know how his mom replies? "You're right, I don't care about you. Suck it up and keep walking." I feel terrible for this kid. It was his last day at Riley too, so I'll never get to see him again and see if he's alright. I feel like people should really take a test before they decide to become parents. If they fail, well, fuck them, they can go adopt a goldfish. 

Speaking of goldfish.. As soon as I have $175, I want to get a hedgehog as a pet since I'm not allowed to have a cat or dog in the dorms. Technically, hedgehogs probably aren't allowed either, but they're basically a goldfish, right? They live in the same type of environment... a fish tank... I think it'll be fine. :)

omg cute

Do me a favor and click on this picture and look at how ADORABLE I am.

Blogging for the sake of blogging, must be discouraged, for our tried and tested traditions...

Am I really such a nerd that the first idea to blog about tonight involved a quote by Dolores Umbridge? Yes, yes I am. *sigh*

Anyway, what's up guys! Hold on, let's me rephrase:

What's up, my five hundred plus viewers! ;)

I'm seriously stressing right now. I have yet another French test tomorrow morning. So I have to study for that and do the 8 homework assignments I just found out about. And I need to study my math book to find out what the hell we're working on in class. I've now skipped three classes in a row and it's killing me. I'm only going tomorrow because I finally have the ten dollars that I owe Andrew for a brownie that I bought from him weeks ago. I'm such an awful student.

I went to Gateway with Corinne today and bought three sweaters from Forever 21 and two pairs of shoes from UO.

I could only find one sweater on the website and I'm not certain that it's even the one I bought. But it looks similar, if not exactly the same. Haha.

The shoes are this kind of style, but one pair is like gray vintage wallpapery patterned and the other is black with colorful floral shit. I was all for buying two plain colored pairs but Corinne refused to let me. I also wanted to buy this hat, but it was $34, so of course she wouldn't let me buy it either.

We had lunch at Costa Vida and out of the three Mexican places I've been to in SLC, it was the worst. The enchiladas were surprisingly good - I got pork rather than my usual chicken - but the black beans and rice were off par. Rubio's definitely has the best black beans and rice, with Café Silvestre coming up in second. Then I worked from 2-6, where I got my ass kicked at capture the flag by a team consisting of two second graders. It was pretty sad. Not much else has happened tonight.. Dinner with Werner, Craig, Corinne, Emily, Rosie, Laura, Joss, Craig's friend whose name I can never remember, and Pat. I totes creeped on Pat all through dinner, too. Definitely the highlight of my night. Craig, Werner and I actually created this really fabulous display of switching our chairs so I could touch Pat's hair but it failed hard because Pat was getting up to leave as we were executing it. Damn him. BUT. I did touch it. And yes, it is very soft. Me gusta.

hi werner!

Welcome to my blog, Wernbot.

*raucous laughter, loud applause, general excitement*

So we're in the process of making a habit out of coming to the 814 lounge and having study parties with Wernbot & Co. It's happened a whole whopping two times now. I've thoroughly enjoyed each one though. Especially the one we had tonight. Corinne and I spent the majority of the time Skyping each other from different sides of the table.. Nothing new or out of the ordinary there. Oh, it's also been decided that any time one of us wants to have a guy back to the dorm for some alone time, all we have to do is say that there should be a study party that night in 814. I'm pumped to test this new saying out. ;) ij. I'm not being a filthy person anymore.

Did you see that? IJ is the new JK. "I Jest." "Just Kidding." You choose which one sounds cooler. IJ is definitely going to be the winner.

I'm trying to think of something really exciting that I did this week but I'm blanking.. Besides going to class, working, and studying it up at 814, I don't think anything has happened. I guess I'll just share some more quotes that feature the infamous Werner.

Quotes featuring Werner
"I'm really in tune with my feminine side." - Craig
"Is it your right or left side?" - Werner

"Did you date people in high school?" - Corinne
"Just men." - Werner

"We use telekinetic waves and this is my receiver." - Werner

"You should be jealous of what these eyes have seen." - Werner
