Man, I can’t believe I made it through that orgo test. It had ‘fake’ multiple choice where you still had to do most of the work and some reaction questions and mostly stuff I didn’t know, which is silly and absurd given that I’ve spent the last four months griping about orgo. Sigh. It’s not nice. We’ll get our grades online soon, but the actual tests won’t come back until next semester’s class starts. Silly teacher, thinking we want to take the next section of orgo. Sigh. I guess it might be good for me someday, but all I can say now is, Dear God let there be a big curve.
Shortly I’m going to head out and possibly hit the mall to pick up King Arthur and maybe Daredevil Director’s Cut. And did you know that it’s the 40th anniversary of Mary Poppins? lol. And then I’m going (FINALLY!) pick up my RotK dvd 🙂 yay! LotR goodness! sigh. I’m such a fangirl.

So this isn’t solely an ad post, I can ramble a bit about studying for orgo, and how very sad I am that the stupid final is Monday so I won’t get to spend much time with the wonderful people coming into town for the holidays this weekend. I am finding it immensely hard to keep my mind on orgo, even without the temptation to pop in the RotK:EE, since I don’t have it 😉 Grudgingly I admit that it’s good that Mom is holding onto it for me. But I just want to touch it…lol. So sorry Molly and Alex and Leo that I’ll only be able to see you for a short time on Sunday. It looks like I really shouldn’t even go carolling with the AHS drama alums, as much as I would like to. I suppose I’ll have to resign myself to singing along with my Christmas cds and KEZK, the soft rock Christmas station.
I hope that Molly and I get to watch RotK together sometime, and Leo needs to watch HP 3…sigh. I keep thinking that I’ve got a break coming up or something, even though I don’t, really. Well, I guess I could take some vacation while there are no classes, but I guess I’m still stuck on the “christmas vacation from school” thing, even though it’s been two years. Bah. I really do need to take vaca anyway. Here’s to Jen and Lell going to NY! Yeah. Next summer.
Oh, why don’t you head over here and check out these story banners? Well, there’s only the one right now, hopefully there can be more uploaded later. I like hosting people.
I guess I should get back to voting and studying. Sigh. What a way to spend a friday night.
a year ago
StandardSomeone pointed out on one of the numerous LotR livejournals that this time last year we were all waiting for the King… ahh, LotR nostalgia. It makes me very sad that there isn’t anything else to wait for, except perhaps a massive soundtrack collection of all the music from the movies, which I would adore, but it won’t be the same…this is the first december without a midnight premiere, and I don’t know why, but it makes me sad. Just had to slip in a LotR quote there. I don’t know when or if there will be something like these movies that so inspires the fangirl in me. Spider-man and Harry Potter perhaps approach it (I have seen both the Spidey movies on opening night/midnight, after all) but they’re not at the same level.
so who’s up for a movie marathon? 😉
Oh, and happy birthday Miranda Otto (Eowyn)! I can’t believe it’s past the ides of the month. sigh. *keeps telling herself that there’s still four days until the orgo final*
I know it’s there
Standardyeah, so my mom called me to let me know that she has a rather large box waiting for me at home. sigh. I so want to go home and just steal it out of the house, but I bet she’s got it hidden for just that reason 😉 the agony of waiting! It’s not fair…but I will concede that if I had it right now I would be watching it if I could, and not studying. Well, I’m not really studying now anyway, but you get the point. I really do need to be studying; doing pointless nothings right now in a massive procrastination effort, trying not to think about the RotK:EE. Yeah. Not helped by all the people on LJ who are posting about their EE experience…oh, and check out Etoile’s (not me, lol) music section, it’s a nice introduction to the music of the Lord of the Rings, which, unless you are hard of hearing you love just as much as I do 😉 *seethes silently at the waiting* *tries to get into an orgo mood* *giggles and the closeness of ‘orgo’ to ‘orgy’* Sigh. I’m going bonkers. Wish me luck on orgo!
the little annoying things
StandardComment spam really sucks, and I’m worried that it’s knocking other (legitimate) people off the blog. Sigh. No one’s commented since the beginning of the month. I’ve done test comments myself and know that comments work…some people have reported getting 404s when they click the comment link. I don’t know what that’s from, because the site shows up fine where I am, on two different computers. If you are having a problem posting a comment and you can’t (for some reason) use the 404 form to send me where you got the error, please send an email to me at etoiline [at] etoiline [dot] com and I’ll see what I can do.
One of these days I guess I’ll break down and upgrade to MT 3, even though there are some things that I don’t like about it. And I’ve got to start thinking of a new layout, not that I don’t still love Peter 🙂 I know that the index page is a little slow to load, forgive me for being on the high-speed at work. But I like having everything there on the front page…alas. I’m just a wannabe techie. Whatever. I’ll shush now, as this too-long entry was just so I would remember that link about a possible spam-basher. We’ll see. Please comment so I know you’re out there!
just a little something to smile about
Standard
Appropriate, don’t you think, since this site is all about the stars?
Of course, there’s always the award-o-matic if you need a little pick me up 🙂
Hey, are you voting for me in the topsite? Yeah. Didn’t think so 😉
Should I or shouldn’t I go to the Q&A orgo class tonight? I just don’t know. I don’t have any questions right now, and at the rate I’m going with this voting thing, I doubt I will by then…stupid me not ever being able to ask questions when I have them and never having them when I need them…bah. orgo sucks. back to voting and faffing about with Excel.
Longing…
StandardI hate waiting. I don’t know how people stand waiting for things. I guess I’m just a very impatient person when it comes to my *ahem* passions. I like things right!now. Does that mean I’m bad?
Although it means I know exactly what I’m getting for christmas, I had to tell my dad how to get onto a site so he could get me a calendar, from all places, Hot Topic. Now, there’s a Hot Topic store in the mall, but I doubt he’s ever been in, in fact I would be surprised if he had, since it’s sort of a goth-teen store that even I feel a little weird entering. Regardless, the store doesn’t seem to have the LotR stuff that they offer on the website, so I sent him there. He said he was a little freaked out by the stuff on the site. He’s also cute because he chooses used books instead of new. Luff my daddy.
Hah. If I were rich, oh the things I would buy and probably never wear…
brush fanatic, here

The webbie Exchange
StandardThe webbie Exchange is something I would like to try, if I ever get motivated enough. Must figure out “presents” to put in Philippines christmas cards!
Feeling Christmas-y yet?
StandardThis is really cool: Webphilia Advent Calendar 2004. You should check it out. There are some spectacular blends there. Inspiring. Just like talking nutrition with the applied phys. folks at the holiday party. Makes me feel inadequate that I don’t work out or do amazing things with photoshop. Ah well. One of these days when I get a new laptop…
