  • science fair day: a day on which all regular learning activities, including classes, are unofficially susupended so that a gym full of nervous, dressed-up children may defend their fabricated, quasi-scientific premises…

  • i have these on today. wearing them makes me feel cheerful.

  • here's to Emily Hughes, the antithesis of fragility and quite a fine skater - I love her strength and exuberance. and the fact that she is corporeally substantial.

  • four day work weeks have a sneaky little trick of stretching on into infinity: you are all jazzed up about the week being shorter, but you fail to take into account the whole "a watched pot never boils" phenomenon, an…

  • so, how about that sasha cohen? i hope her first place rating holds: and while i am loath to express anything but derisive scorn for fragile-looking girls who wear their vulnerability on their sleeve, i must admit tha…

  • i love to watch ice dancing. it is amazing to me that a man can hold a woman in some gravity-defying position while gliding along on one skate (and even more amazing that they are able to extricate themselves from thes…

  • it is remarkable that i can dislike any movie featuring these men as much as i dislike Troy. the only thing i can say for it is that it does make me love Hector so much that i cry when he dies (it is highly unusual fo…

  • i've had the same nail polish on all week, which is amazing for two reasons: nail polish usually starts chipping off after a day or two the color eventually clashes with an outfit element so, good job Revlon f…

  • my taste for mere mortal men has been ruined by a certain Johnny Depp.

  • In honor of Valentine's Day, i present my favorite Shakespearean sonnet: My love is as a fever, longing still for that which longer nurseth the disease,feeding on that which doth preserve the ill, the sickly uncerta…

  • watched my first film by famed director Ingmar Bergman last night (not to be confused with the actress Ingrid Bergman, of whose films i have seen the majority): it was bizarre beyond belief, although i did enjoy its sw…

  • friday already? perhaps in an attempt to compensate for the snail's pace of last week, this one has passed with amazing rapidity, a phenomenon which is most welcome.

  • Despite the merciless ridicule i endure at the hands of the children for being a U2 fan, i take comfort in the fact that i am not alone in my admiration, since they won five Grammys last night, including Album of the …

  • It is always such a delight to buy birthday presents for Warren. EDIT: anyone else see a resemblence between Warren's little sis Cathy and Anna Chlumsky, the actress who was in the 1991 movie My Girl?

  • Oh Good Yes: it's time for a survey. Today's Question: what is your favorite Beatles song? ('cause everyone has a favorite Beatles song)

  • although i still haven't forgiven them for killing off Marie so early in the second film, i will give them this: the powers behind the Bourne franchise sure do know how to pick their assasins: Clive Ow…

  • i am always amazed at how much i love this movie. love the sweeping desert shots, love Peter O'Toole's eyes, love Omar Sharif, love movies that take up the better part of a day to watch.

  • friday has been a looooong time coming this week, but it's finally here. i am looking forward to having a couple days in which it is not necessary to talk: my voice hurts, and it wants to rest.

  • have finally succumbed to the cold that has been circling campus this month. i dislike being sick. it makes me grumpy and unmotivated.

  • and now, it's time for a few words in defense of Mozart. He has been defamed by my mostly pianistic friends, for his keyboard works are, admittedly, simplistic and boring. but the guy had a facility at writing for the…
