Mad Libs Night: Updates ASAP

The girl should be an actress, not a director/producer. More to come soon.

8:48 PM EST
My turn. I swear, I can do broadcasting better than this.

10:32 PM EST
Kelly Paul's turn. Girl can keep a straight face like no other, but really, Morgan laughing through this is almost worth it in it of itself.

8:31 AM EST, 4/6/09
The rest. Starting with Morgan/Kelly Paul.

And then Casey...

And then Allie...

And then a RAVE. With Kristyne/David Blaine at the end.

The Most Not-Drunk Drunk People You'll Meet

Let it be known: I love my floormates. The BoGirls, if you will.

We decided not to go out last night, but rather to stay in, yell at Scene It? a little more (which we've pretty much memorized all the questions, so that was over before it began), and then we decided to watch Robin Hood: Men in Tights, which I had never seen.

...which we never finished. Because Kristyne busted out the Mad Libs.

The night then veered into the weird and awkward-funny territory it often does with us. Kristyne turned on some dance music, and that's when things went weird. We watched SNL for Phoenix (who were really excellent), and then we hung out some more.

The Mad Libs videos will follow. The one of me will make you ill, both because I look gross and because of Kristyne's camera work.

Brunch Quote of the Week

"Did you guys watch ER's finale?" - Morgan
"No. Who watches ER? How old are you?" - Monica

Very close second:
"So I had really 2 awesome characters for my movies..." - Kristyne

(I love my floormates)

Oh, Plus This

And that Disney to Nollywood seminar? Same time as all the other politics seminars that I could possibly take (the one I want to take, the one I would settle for, and the one I don't want to take).

More of my thoughts.

A Tale of Two Seminars

I'm torn.

Some of you probably know that I was planning on taking the Seminar on Welfare States with Arroyo this coming fall. It sounded interesting, it's a class about Europe the semester before I plan on going to somewhere in the EU (I Can Has London?), and I really like the teacher.


I just got an e-mail back from my international communications advisor Lustyik (who I also really like) that said I may be able to substitute a Geomedia seminar with her senior TVR seminar "From Disney to Nollywood". This sounds most excellent. And I really need this to finish up the minor. The problem is, it says I must be a TVR major, and with only 15 seats, it's going to fill up. And unfortunately, the two seminars overlap in times.

My thoughts.

Oh Jeebus, it's SBC

So Bruno is getting an NC-17 rating at this point, might get cut down to an R. It's wildly crude and inappropriate. But I have a feeling that I must see this movie. And I have a feeling I'll be seeing it with Mariellen, Rob, Tucker, Emily, and Amanda.

So who's bringing the Chicken Nuggets this time?

Are you Ready for Some SWIMMING?

In my quest to finish as many requirements as possible as quickly as possible, I've decided to take the Sports Journalism course over the summer online with Loop (which...I didn't know was an option, so thanks!).

Let's be clear: I know pretty much nothing about sports, and about sports writing. I do know that over the summer, the biggest sport near us is swimming. So expect me to be creeping on your swim meets, Skyline Dolphins.

That said, I figure they'll teach me. It also completely counts as a ST Journalism course, so that requirement is out of the way.

Now if only my Fall 2009 schedule works out...

Less Stress, More Fun

So I realized while I was getting my interviews for the cheating article that got pushed back that...people cheating isn't news.

So I talked to Jackie, and the story got scrapped.

Best possible time, too, because I have a test on Friday and I need to do the IDs tonight.

So...I guess nothing in the paper for me this week. Except for boxes.

Poisson d'Avril

I always thought April Fool's Day was the day where everyone told their friends they were pregnant or whatever (I stole that story from Casey in my News I Class), or when I told people that House was canceled. Apparently in France, the tradition is to put fish on people or in their bags so they smell all day. Nowadays, it's more like sticking someone with little pictures of fish—kind of like a more marine "kick me" sign. I thought I would share.

Reason #67234756 Why I Hate HomerConnect

As many of you may or may not know, pretty much everything at Ithaca College is done over HomerConnect. Want housing? HomerConnect. Picking classes? HomerConnect. Changing your meal plan? HomerConnect. Need to find a restaurant in Ithaca? There's a HomerConnect for that.

Actually, just kidding on that last one.

But you get what I mean. And you're assigned different days to pick your classes by how many credits you've earned. What I'm afraid of is that I'm still on the second-to-last day, looking at my academic transcript. I KNOW I have more than 60 credits. I'm just not sure what day I have to go. And really, I have to take some of these classes that have limited space. I really don't want to go through the whole "being behind" thing again, because if I do, I won't get to go to London. And that would be a shame.
