We haven't had cable tv at my house for years.
  Now, we have Comcast.

  So what did I do after I came home from class today? I watched about 6 hours of cable television. One hour of Phineas and Ferb, the first 40 minutes of Prince Caspian, Step Up 2 the Streets (upon my sister's insisting), Quarantine and Even Stevens.
  I really hope this does not become a recurring habit. At least not after a couple weeks (of getting used to having cable.)


  On a different note, I'm all better! I've been well enough to be back at work for nearly a week, now (5-6 days?) Which is good. I don't like being sick. Yes, you get to "skip" work, but you feel like craaaaaaapp. :/

  So, for some reason I've had Boys Like Girls' Hero/Heroine song stuck in my head all day. So I decided to listen to the album. It was okay until about the 4th or 5th track. It mostly sucked from there on out. Whatever. :|


  Oh, and this

  (I love that comic. I kind of bought all current volumes [5] of it for myself for Christmas.)
  (I needed some reason to actually buy five volumes of anything in one calendar week month.)

  As in, not doing so great health-wise.

  During/after work Saturday afternoon, I began feeling bleh and crappy. So when I got home, I took a looong nap and watched some movies afterwards. Sunday was mostly the same, too: sleep and movies.
  Today I was hoping I'd be well enough to go to work. But no, I still feel blecky and my nose has been running non-stop for the last toomany hours.


  Something I *did* accomplish this weekend, though, was watch several classic films.
  Saturday, I watched A Streetcar Named Desire (Marlon Brando) and Rebel Without a Cause (James Dean, Natalie Wood). I've seen "Rebel" many times, but it was the first time I'd seen "Streetcar". It's really good: I highly recommend it if you're into 50's movies.

  Sunday I watched The Big Sleep (Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall), Young Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) and West Side Story (Natalie Wood).
  The Big Sleep was really good, but rather long. I'm not a huge Bogart fan, but his scenes with Bacall were really good. Excellent dialogue.
  Young Frankenstein was "ok". It wasn't as great as other have told me it is.
  I'd tried watching West Side Story once before, but dropped out about an hour and a half into it. It's reeeeeeallly long. And a musical. With fake latinos and fake latino accents. It was hard for me to sit through the whole 2.5 hour ordeal. But I finally finished it. I will probably not watch that movie again for as long as I live.


  Now I'm going to go to bed and hope I get to sleep without worrying about my runny nose. I have class tomorrow! Get better, dang it! >:/

  Changed up the layout a little bit. I'll probably come back to it and change some colors and/or the background image.

  Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving!
  My Thanksgiving day met all standards: family, lots of delicious food and grouchiness/nap-time afterwards. Didn't go downtown to see the Christmas lights get turned on. But then most of us didn't really feel like goin' out there, anyways.

  Tomorrow is Black Friday. I will probably not get up until at least 9am, if not later. Translation: I do not participate in Black Friday, usually. I'd be tempted to this year, but I don't have any money to spend in the first place, so I'll just finish my Christmas shopping within the next couple of weeks.

  I don't have much Christmas shopping left. This year, because of the shallowness of all of our wallets, we chose to draw names for Christmas. So we all put our names in a hat, and took turns drawing a name. Whoever's name you picked from the hat is the person for whom you had to buy a present. Therefore relieving a sense of obligation to have to buy everyone something, and so on.
  It's nice because then I don't have to freak out about finding just the right something for EVERYONE and all in good time and price. Very nice.


  Even though it's been a feature on iTunes for a while, now, I really like Genius. When a song is selected in iTunes, you can click the Genius button, and it will make a new playlist of 50+ songs from your library that are similar to the song you selected. It's like making an instant mix based on a particular song. It usually produces great playlists, though sometimes, with the somewhat irregularity of some of the songs in my library, it comes out with nearly irrelevant song choices.
  I mention this Genius because all evening I have been listening to a paylist it created for Santagold's You'll Find A Way, featuring Lykke Li, MGMT, Vampire Weekend, CSS, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio and that song on that one car commercial. It's really good! I might assemble some of it into a playlist.com playlist and link to it. :D


  And now, pumpkin pie!

  I'm pretty okay, myself.
  Right now I'm going through suckbook deleting dumb "applications" and "friends" I don't really know.

  And along the way I came upon links to these things:

  I really like/want this shirt:



  I enjoyed this store a little too much, perhaps.

  And found this somewhat humorous.



  And this Norwegian looks very promising.
