Jim Parsons On Lopez Tonight

"I believe that you may be the whitest guest that has been on the show."

LOL <3

"Oh no I need my ribs!"

Outsourced is one of my new favorite shows. I didn't start watching the pilot episode though, but I can always backtrack. Sacha Dhawan is awesome (though not as awesome as Kunal Nayyar from TBBT)

Hehe, isn't he smug and cute?

The Doctor Who Countdown

No promises here, but I'm doing a Doctor Who countdown on my tumblr account. As of today, there is only 23 days till the DW Christmas Special is aired on BBC!

Anyways, I wanted to share something really funny. The other day I was eating a salad and before I managed to finish it, a pigeon flew onto my table and stole a bit...


I decided to leave it be and I thought it was cool until 4 more came and cleared my plate. I was irritated and forgot to take a pic but oh well.

I can't believe it's December already, but the year has been so much fun. I met the most amazing person in my life, learned so many things, and still managed to amaze myself. :)

Craig Ferguson - The lost "Dr. Who" cold open.

Holy shit. I just came.

Why did you eat my fries...?

It's midterms week but I haven't been feeling too freaked out. This isn't because I'm ok with midterms (I'm totally not. I hate midterms.) but because I have lost my voice and my throat has been bothering me so much that my mind just won't focus on being stressed.

I was really happy about last night's episode of Adventure Time! Glad to see more Marceline and I lol'd when I realized her dad was a literal dick (How it got past the censors, I will never know.)

Also, I have been playing Pokémon Black. It's surprisingly refreshing and fun. You don't have a set rival that you must name, and there's alot of other things I can't explain until you guys get the game :P There are some flaws of course...(My dowsing machine goes away when I check out my bag wtf..) but overall so much fun. I love the story so far too.

And the Fog stared at the heavens and said 'No more shall there be unreasonable heat!'

Halfway through my final semester of college and so far everything is going well. My application was turned in (along with 100 dollars...) and now I'm just job hunting.

The past few weeks brought on some heat in the city, and it would have been bearable if it weren't for the lack of a cool breeze and extra deodorant. Unfortunately, skipping classes just to stay at home where it's significantly cooler was not an option so for now, I am at least 3 shades darker than I should be.

BUT! The fog has returned to its home in SF and I was so happy! I went to school with just a thin jacket and my apocalypse pony shirt to enjoy the cold. I guess the heat has reminded me to appreciate the fog C:

Adventure Time!

But of a Bear and Coon variety <3

Monday!

Meaning tomorrow is Tuesday (and everyone knows that despite classes beginning tomorrow, Tuesday means it will be awesome.)

Not really liking the idea of mingling with freshmen but it should prove to be interesting.

I thought about starting vlog posts from time to time but I don't really know how to start off. X3 ah well.

I'm so depressed. Blah blah blah.

Honestly, if you people feel depressed and have to say so repeatedly on facebook then please, by all means, rid yourself of existence.

Not only does your constant whining annoy me, but it also brings other people down from their happy lives. Do you expect people to feel sorry for you 24/7?

Once or twice, sure. I understand that we are all human and things happen. But when it comes to having to say your life sucks with every post, well...enough is enough really. *huff*

One last bit? Really?

I danced through the final like it was nothing, and I thought I was done until the teacher said we still had to turn in a self-evaluation by 11 PM tonight. Ugh.

Last Day of Summer School

I haven't updated because it's been so busy. I've been to several interviews (which have been flops.) I have a final tomorrow, and another interview on Thursday, but NONE of these excite me more than getting my first guitar EVER.

I spent about a week researching various acoustic guitars suitable for a beginner like me. Eric was super helpful and we decided that if there was any sort of guitar available, it would have to be a Gibson. Amazon had a deal on the Epiphone DR-100, but you know...who can really trust Amazon? Also: I wasn't really sure if I needed a guitar.

Fortunately, mom thought up of the next best thing: Second hand guitars. We took to the streets and raided almost every pawn shop in San Francisco. Bah, nothing came up :( I suggested we swing by the Guitar Center just to see what they had. Surprise surprise...

The Epiphone DR-100 was on sale. Originally 183, it was on sale for 99. I got an additional 10% off too! Wooohoo!

Eric and I still have to name it. >_> Out of my geekery I've compiled a list of songs I will start to learn, as well as chords I need to memorize before the guitar classes start in 2 weeks.

ALSO: I got a tumblr account because it looked nifty. http://izzycoon.tumblr.com

Summer Classes are a...

I've been dreading summer classes for a while, because initially I had been under the impression that I would be paying $985.00 out of pocket (NOT including the cost of text books, which is an additional $200.00) Fortunately, I decided to do every calculation after visiting the financial aid office today and I was so relieved to find that I'd probably be paying $200.00 :D Yay!

I know I haven't been blogging in a while, but everything has been so hectic lately!

Let's do it this way:

Finals!

Finals were so horrible...I studied and studied, using up all my free time to make sure everything was correct. I had info relay sessions with my friends in class, and I re-wrote every note I had taken during the semester. It was horrible pain...but it was all worth it. The tests came...and then went...and what I had fretted over turned out to be extremely simple. But then again, maybe it only seemed simple because of my studying. :P I checked my grades, and I got: A-, A, B-, B+. Mmm.

Eric's Visit!

I definitely had so much fun when Eric came to SF to visit me :) This marks his second visit, and the best part is that he stayed longer!!! Our adventures were not as extravagant as the first ones. We ventured only to the main areas (Downtown, Chinatown, Buca di Beppo's) but to be honest, it didn't matter where we went. Time with him was spent well :) We downed a whole crab, and played Professor Layton!!!! <3 <3 <3 I miss him...

Summer Classes

As I said before, I had been afraid of paying so much for these 5 week classes. But it's been sorted out, and it's nice to be back to work. I'll still be looking for a secondary job, but for now I'll still be at Seven Hills. :) YAY.

WIN!

FINALS FINALS FINALS...

2 more finals and I am 1 more semester from graduating.

Honestly, the only final I'm worried about is the research final...:/ Chances are, the points are going to be screwed up cuz Steiner doesn't care anyway...I'LL PRAY REALLY HARD.

Sorry I haven't been updating! Lots of crunch time and stress from finals have been keeping me from thinking (Oh yes yes, I do think.) But I promise to blog about what's happened all week when I can finally relax. :)

To keep you happy, have a DJ Kitteh!

It's super effective!

Research Lab...

I am so thankful that I'm not the only one with a painfully short discussion section for my project. I've always had a problem with being able to condense something to the point of nothingness. All I need to do now is review the questions sent to me and see if I can add extra details. (No no I won't BS anything. Just add water to my soup.)

Tomorrow I'll be looking forward to going to San Leandro for a counseling interview. If they would allow me to work at the hours I am available then I would have one less thing to worry about. But the question still stands: How am I going to get there? It's accessible via BART but once I get off, I don't know what bus to take to actually get to Foothill Blvd. I could ask my friend, but she isn't sure how long the ride would take. Hmm..

Sometimes I feel that the lab portion of PSY 400 is the only place I learn...my professor in the actual class is often mumbling and sidetracking. Although, I don't know who I prefer less: The TA or the teacher. Sitting here makes me feel useless but I'm really paranoid about missing out on information. Hopefully, the final is not going to be as difficult as I imagine.

For now, have a random .gif!

Not a cloud in the sky~

I realized that I only had one fire pokemon and it was a crappy ponyta. :x Anyways, I digress.

The weather has been calm lately, and today there isn't a single cloud in the sky. Good news is that it means the chances of it raining on me unexpectedly is reduced. Bad news is that I'm probably going to brown up again. Curses.

It's 11:34 A.M. and I have several things I must accomplish by 2 (If I am not distracted):

1. Write 5 papers, all concerning my experience as a college student lab rat (this is a good thing. I like being a lab rat.)
2. Do the chapter 14 quiz for research.
3. Study study study!

I have a big grin on my face today. Why? Not only is it a NICE WEATHER DAY (nice weather meaning sunny and breezy and a bit chilly. I like them chills, boy.) but I happened upon the bookstore and found the PURPLE Pilot G-2 pen...in 05 SIZE. YES.

Tres De Mayo es muy bueno!

The day started off dastardly. Woke up earlier than I should have, which meant I had to get a couple of things done. I found out I could have been saving on car insurance! (But not with the amphibious kind.) My old insurance kept me waiting so I left home later than usual.

It's Monday. Why was the MUNI lightrail down? The delay kept me grounded at Powell station for 25 minutes before I got on a crowded single-car train. Luckily, I got a seat by the entrance for an easy exit if need be. Of course, the day got better when a school of 6 year olds hopped on.

It never ceases to amaze me how children are still unaware of self-constraint. I honestly love it. The passenger next to me was playing her DS and they were just sticking their faces in her. I did feel bad for her, but the kids were highly amusing.

I got off just in time, and as I proceeded towards Cesar Chavez, I noticed several things: Guitar music, dancers, and a long line for free hand-made pupusas.

Why am I never informed of such events?

I really loved watching the woman make the pupusas. She was pro <3

Loverly! It's the first time I've tried a non-frozen pupusa (and the difference is just..wow.)

Class and homework were the usual, but I was glad chapter 14 for research was really short. I finished that up and right now I'm just working on my project. MUST KEEP ON TRACK! But before I do, I wanna thank my stripeypoo for getting me the R4DS.

<3 <3 <3

Do you like tamale? Waaarm tamale? NO! WE LIKE HOT TAMALE!

It's saturday and everyone knows what that means.....

It's.
A.
COSTCO ADVENTURE DAY!!!! The warehouse elves always manage to change it every couple of weeks, and it never fails to amuse me.


Mmm tents. I wanna crawl inside XD I was standing in line to get a pizza slide and I said EEP TENTS!

Later on, I set out to get my target item: PAPER. :x It's horrible running out of paper when finals are around the corner. Once I got it, I wandered around looking for samples (samples that I suspect are products close to expiring but yummy nonetheless.) and I ran into one of the greatest sample tables ever.


She was yelling, "Hot TAMALE! HOT TAMALE VELLY GOOD!!!"

And all of a sudden, the song Hot Tamales by Weebl (but sung with Eric's voice) was blaring in my head. Mmm.
I bet if Eric and I were working at this table we'd make major sales singing that X3!

After everything was done, I went downtown and stopped by Urban Outfitters. OH EM GEE. I bought the Great Moustache mug Joey has, and had to resist buying all the other mugs. :< Then I saw a Hello Kitty mouse!


I died on the spot. Then got rezzed cuz I had to go home and share it with ErBear!!!

Financial Aid Woes and a Snail!

I recently found out that financial aid for the summer is limited and I would have to pay a portion of the tuition out of pocket. WUT.

Why ARE summer classes more expensive :/ Sigh...times like these make me miss community college.

Anyway, on my way out of the building, I saw the silliest thing!!!

X3!!!!! Mr. Escargot almost got stepped on...I wish I picked him up and turned him around or something. I wonder if he made it to his destination tho...Mow..

The cold is refreshingly unnerving...

Today was unexpectedly cold, but it was a much needed break from the heat wave of the last few days. Unfortunately for me, I decided to wear clothing that would cause me to freeze (My Charlie the Unicorn shirt could only keep me warm for so long.)

I was pleasantly surprised to find that there is a crafts fair on campus today, and part of me cursed the fact that I ordered a hair stick when I spotted a woman selling them. :/ I had to give in and buy one, because it was so beautifully made, and I didn't want to wear my crochet hook (although it does add flair). After my craft-shopping escapade, everything was pretty smooth.

I do want to bring up one fact though...: I dislike those who cannot pay me back after borrowing a substantial amount of money. *sigh*
