Happy Birthday [livejournal.com profile] captaincatapult!!! Oh Annnnnnna, you light up my life in a million different little ways. You're going to make such a wonderful adult now that this birthday has sort of kind of really actually made you one (oops, adverb vomit). Thanks for being born!


Today was convocation! This semester is officially 100% over, and I am so unbelievably glad. I MISS SCHOOL, and having silent conversations with the kid next to you when class is really boring, that last glance at the equations you wrote down on a notecard before you walk into a classroom to take that damn midterm, skimming because you don't feel like reading, having things to whine about!!! I'm sure this is falling on deaf ears because you're all finishing up finals and CANNOT WAIT TO GET OUT, but I cannot wait for fall academia.

But! Summer should be great too.

ANYWAY, this was a really nice week. For a lot of little reasons -- this part of spring always makes me unbelivably happy because the TREES! ARE SO PRETTY! and the air smells nice because of that, and I love my sister, and I have suuuuuch amazing friends who like to think about people as much as I do (it's funny how transient college makes my social sphere -- this week I'm losing a lot of people to their homes, but I'll see them next fall, but my best friends! are flying home!) and just music and smoothies and shopping and crappy soft serve ice cream. Life is so NICE sometimes, you know?! Not for any big reason! Just nice!

I also figured out how to torrent things (24.1% of Outrageous Fortune season 3, HA!) and I am unreaaaaasonably proud of passing this important internet rite of passage.

Plus, OHMYGOSH, television was phenomenal this week. AND SO! A kind of mini picspam.


Monday









(Ohmygod the song. I cannot stop listening to it.)




















Thursday







(In retrospect, I didn't actually even like this one that much, exactly? The Michael stuff was awkward, but in a been-there-done-that, kind of unfunny way. There were a number of moments I reallyreallyreally loved, heh, but as a whole it didn't work for me.)








(This makes two phenomenal episodes in a row! Oh my god, the parodying of the Bush administration? I was CRYING LAUGHING. It's too bad this was the finale so we can't make it a threefer!)


Is anyone else kiiiiiiiiiind of annoyed about this whole ~internet release date~ for the XF2 trailer? They were going to be on the big screen! Looking large and pretty! In front of Iron Man! Pulling it and putting it on IGN is so... anticlimatic.

I am annoyed at the release date. I was really looking forward to seeing them all big and pretty in front of iron man. :( it make this bb sad when Fox pulled it.

I HAVE FIVE MORE DAYS [if I choose to write and send in my Friday essay early, which is hte plan, but it's looking bad right now. And that means I have to write the paper at home, which... is lame]. OMGOMGOMG. I DO NOT HAVE A JOB YET. FUCKFUCKFUCK.

I feel the same way about The Office this week. Like... a couple TOP FAVORITE scenes, but didn't love the whole episode. The Michael stuff was tedious, I loved the golf scenes though. Andy made me cringe so hard. And the phone call was the cutest ever "oh, I like you" made me so happy on the inside.

HIMYM! I don't think she's going to be mother, but I love her just the same and the ending was so cute. I'm a Ted!fan though. I know some people prefer Barney-centric episodes.

Ohmygod the song. I cannot stop listening to it.

What song is it?

And Gossip Girl has taken over my life. I can't wait for Monday.

picspam, yaaaaaaays!

i keep looking at that picture from the office, third from the bottom on the right side? the way his arms wrap all the way around her back? i just. it wasn't my fav episode either, but like you said, there were some good parts. AND THAT WAS ONE OF THEM, THANKS.

hey, hey! when's the trailer supposed to come out? and hey, hey! is it cool if i just rely on you exclusively for all my xf2 news? becaaaauuuuse i kind of am.

GAH, Alex, thank you, I'm so flattered and touched. The feeling is completely mutual, by the way.

That picspam made me grin many times over. What a great idea, especially the separating by days. We got so lucky with TV this week (though I agree with you about The Office - it was very strange).

Your paragraph about how life is nice is, uh, nice! No but really, I completely agree with you and I'm so often overwhelmed by how plainly happy I am, and how enjoyable I find life.

I will love you FOREVER if you make me an LJ icon out of the picture that came from Jenna's video (in front of the shimmery curtain)...PRETTY PLEASE!?

I watched the latest episode of Gossip Girl for the gay and suddenly found myself wanting to watch the rest of the series, so I did. And now I love it? It's just so addicting. I'm not quite sure to do with myself and that fact, but I do really like it.

You are the best and I miss you. When can we talk?!

I liked the Office this week, but it definitely wasn't one of my favorites. And I actually love school in a nerdy sort of way, I just procrastinate like WHOA.
