Shark Week O-Ah-Ah

It's Shark Week, the best week in the year, aside from spring break. Watching these educational shows makes me miss old school Discovery Channel, when it was almost all programs like these, not "X Road Truckers" or shows about fishing. It just reminds me, when I think back to the old days, how we have been dumbed down into needing reality entertainment shows instead of shows meant to make us more knowledgeable.

The day was pretty good, if uneventful. I saw Rango which was enjoyable if very weird. My mom goes back to work tomorrow, and I've got to clean the exterior of my grandma's car. I'm not looking forward to either of these things. Her going back means I'M going back soon, which is never good. At least Totoro Tuesday is almost here.

Silver Linings

I've had a pretty good day today. Went to Cracker Barrel, and, even though my meal wasn't that great, I still had a nice time. Went to the library, and even though I couldn't get The Princess Bride, I did get True Grit and John Hodgman's Areas of My Expertise, which is proving to be quite amusing so far. I couldn't get into Pottermore today (no one could), but I did get plenty of time to read and listen to Wye Oak. Also, listen to that song, as it's brilliant. I posted it on the Tumblr today, and I can't stop listening. Also, the lead singer's intro is hilarious in its dryness.

Oh, and I've already told Jessica, but no Harry Potter World for my 21st. HOWEVER, if you guys would be interested, there's a chance we can go November 11-13th, or round about then. There's a Harry Potter fest at HPW at that time, so we might be able to go and celebrate that. Plus, it'll be cooler out, which means we might see the staff dressed in robes :-D

Which reminds me, my mom's boyfriend (?) is coming the weekend of my birthday... I don't know why, aside from the fact that my mom enjoys me not being completely comfortable in my home.

Silence Fell

I have such a great time when Jessica and/or Ashley come over. Or when I spend any amount of time with them. I haven't had this much fun since Jesse left, so it was great to end this two week drought. It was also awesome FINALLY finishing series 5 of Doctor Who with Jessica, followed by showing her the Christmas special and the first two episodes of series 6. I was especially thrilled when she became terrified of the Silence, who are genuinely scary. Hell, I still get freaked out when I see them. Overall this was an extremely epic day of epicness, and I can't wait for Totoro Tuesday.

A bit of this and a bit of that

I keep worrying about my future all of a sudden. Fuck the passage of time, I want eternal summer. I haven't worried at all since leaving FGCU in April, and now I'm suddenly being assaulted by it again. It's just so... unknown. And difficult. And yeah, scary. I even have ideas in place about what to do, but, even so, it's the future, and the future is impossible to plan for fully.

I cleaned the inside of my grandma's car today. When she's focused on something, she's actually okay to be around, so it wasn't the worst experience. Plus she had a couple fans going, so it wasn't impossibly hot either. I'm so excited to see Ashley and Jessica tomorrow. I've missed them like crazy.

Our Song

I haven't played this for Jesse yet, just because he hates this kind of music (go figure) but I like to think of this as our unofficial song.

Felt sentimental, thought I'd post it for you guys :-)

On the Road

Watching Top Gear makes me realize how miserable I'd be if I had to drive as much as these folks. Shitty cars, middle of nowhere places, and driving all day for days on end. I couldn't handle 10 hours up and 10 hours back. It's just... nuts.

There and Back Again

Yay I'm back! Oh that was a great week. I'd call that one of the best weeks of my life. There was so much magnificence and happiness and brilliance and awesomeness and wonderfulness and mbdkfshadjla... I miss him already. I miss you guys a lot, too. I demand we hang out again soon.
Also, this song kept playing on the radio. And I actually liked it... which is weird.
