Procrastination Station

10:54 PM- I have no need nor want to get into twitter, so I will randomly post updates here instead (remember these?)

On meebo since somebody seems to have removed aim from my father's old laptop (my Thinking Box is still not working).

Current away message: I'm too old to still have papers due and STILL be procrastinating. On the other hand, looking forward to my first all nighter in forever (brings me back to my UMass days).

Wishing I was at the UMass library hopped up on either Dunks or Tab energy drinks and library lobby donuts in one of those damn uncomfortable chairs, sharing the same stressed/determined/tired/hardworking vibes as all the people around me. Watching as people filter in and out and some (myself included at times) falling asleep, taking frantic cat naps that make a world of difference.

11:22 PM- my word of the day remora is not just a clingy fish, but a hindrance or drag. My work is a remora.

11:32 PM- Once I've gotten this paper nonsense out of the way I'm going to contact two of my former writing teachers and get their advice about how to get back into writing again. I hope it proves helpful.

11:38 PM- contemplating life decisions. Must use hyper-focus-ness for school right now.

11:48 PM- oddly enough, the 2% milk string cheese is not as good as the skim. I usually hate anything with skim milk. Sucks that I bought a bag of 24 today.

12:06 AM- I MUST HAVE THIS

This looks like my kind of book

1:10 AM- just purchased it :) after finding a $25 gift card (that actually had the FULL amount despite being old, wtg with good policies B&N!) and Nina Garcia's Guide to Style because, why not? It's free! (well $6.48 after all is said and done...)

1:17 AM- stepping away from computer to do non-electronic work. Computer distracting (as you can see!)

T-minus 36 hours til I need to finish this shtuff

Yeah, he told me you were the only sheriff in America who was a true friend of Dorothy

OH. MY. GOD. Veronica Mars is one freaking intense show. Okay so here's the deal, if you don't watch Veronica Mars I would prefer if you do not read this because I see everybody who does not watch as a possible convert. One day I will get you to watch. And I do not want to ruin this moment for you. And if you do watch but are not caught up to the 2/20/07 episode, I don't want to spoil you. Trust me on this, the surprise is better left to viewing it for the first time.

ON THAT NOTE...

hehe okay... I COULD NOT believe they killed Lamb! WOAH! I'm guessing Veronica is filled with the same emotions that I am. Sadness at the loss of a life, relief at the loss of a jackass, guilt over that relief, etc. Just. Wow. I'm speechless. Seeing Keith in the uniform was pretty intense, but exciting as well. I'm wondering where the show is going to go from here. It was always about Keith and Veronica as underdogs, so how are they going to go on from here? I also want to know how this will tie in with the fact that the show is now going to be doing more canned episodes, rather than the overarcing mystery. Rob Thomas is incredibly brave, and for that I applaud him.

Other great parts of the episode that are probably being overlooked due to everybody's shock:

• The scavenger hunt- very cute, but geeze Logan definitely has a thing for blondes. Have we ever seen him dating/hooking up with somebody who is not blonde?
• Mac and the new boyfriend are adorable. I'm so glad she's gotten over all the damage Beaver did to her. I SWEAR her boyfriend was a minor (different) character in Season One (a la Lucky/Tim) will research
  
• Veronica's jail time behavior
• The use of EVERY character in this episode. Sure Wallace didn't get that much airtime, but it was wonderful to see him back again. Oh wait, Piz wasn't in this, so not EVERY character, but just about as close to all of them as you can get, and let's face it- Piz didn't belong in this episode.
• The fact that Rob Thomas just totally NAILS film noir. It makes me want to go rent old classics to see all of his inspirations.
  

That was just so exciting. I'm sure I'll think of more things later to add. Once again, WOW. Yep, that's me being stunned.

This could be the start of a beautiful obsession

This movie sounds like it could be the male-counterpart to Veronica Mars. Therefore, I must see it. The Minnesota Daily refers to Brick as a film noir, and also says it's "described as 'Twin Peaks' meets 'Donnie Darko'." Not only was I thoroughly intrigued by Donnie Darko, but Twin Peaks is something that helped to inspire Veronica. I will probably be heading down to Blockbuster (yeah, I broke down and got a membership) at the end of this week. More to come on that later...
