LOL I found this humorscope to be very funny. Mostly because when Spencer and I are watching tv, he's always flipping through the channels and I'm always trying to stay on the same one.
Virgo
This week will find you explaining gender roles to the clueless. For example, men MUST continue to channel surf on the TV, no matter how interesting the show is that they stumble onto. Women must watch what shows up on the channel they're watching, no matter how boring it is. It's just how these things are done. Women commit and regret it. Men don't commit and regret it. It's in our genes. Some kind of adenine/guanine/trampoline chemical thingie.
And now for a few other funny ones:
Taurus
You should give your car a name, so people will be more impressed when you give them a ride. I think you should call yours "The Federation Starship Intrepid." And always do that little two-finger wave and say "engage", when you start off, of course.
Too bad I already named my car Midori No Chocobo (The Green Chocobo)
Sagittarius
You will be offered a chance to go on a journey soon. It sounds like fun, but you might benefit by looking up La Isla Zancudo in a Spanish-English dictionary before you pack your bags...
Capricorn
Today you will be "mooned" by a cat. Fortunately, you won't notice.
LOL how true
Pisces
Try to be logical, today. It's your only hope. (Which is considerably better than it would be if your "only hope" was some old geezer on the desert planet Falderol and you had to send a robot shaped like an underarm roller-type deodorant off to find him. But not as fun.)

Well I'm in the home stretch. Just less than 12 hours till Go-Time. I've got most of my stuff done I just have to put it together. Sadly though I ran out of drafting tape so I couldn't finish my airbrushing. Fortunately the bookstore opens at 7:45am so I can pick some up then. I'm going to get everything done except for that one picture, er, two pictures so that it won't take long. So yeah my brain is fried and I'm hungry and tipsy from the beer Trish gave me. Thats the last time I take a beer from someone on an empty stomach and little sleep. Well ok so I'm exaggerating a little. Mostly it's just making me tired, which I was already anyways. Now at least I'm eating pretzels and drinking water cuz I have nothing else to eat or drink. I could go down to the soda machines, but after the beer I'd rather not. Water is good. Ok well back to work for me.

While I wait for my marker to dry here's a quiz I stole from Tsua-chan
you are paleturquoise #AFEEEE
Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well.
Your saturation level is low - You stay out of stressful situations and advise others to do the same. You may not be the go-to person when something really needs done, but you know never to blow things out of proportion.
Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.
Meh, so close to being done with studio and yet so far. I really wish I had another day to do this. I have no idea how long it's going to take me to get the rest of my stuff airbrushed. Especially since it took me 3 hours just to tape off some trees in order to paint them. Should look good though when I'm done. And speaking of which, I'm going back to work. I only have 17 hours until my final review and I'm going to need every hour.

Ok so today is a much happier day for me. I'm not depressed or feeling alone anymore, which is good. I even got a glomp from Tsua-chan which made me happy.
This morning has been interesting though. So I had just arrived on campus and was walking into Lawrence when I discovered this really big spider on my arm. This wasn't one of those icky black house spiders that you see all the time, it was yellowish brown and at least an inch in diameter. So here I am, severely arachnophobic and I have a spider on my arm. I felt like I was on fear factor. I almost freaked out and panicked when I suddenly realized that I didn't have a friends with me to save me. Then it started crawling down my arm making a web. Fortunately for me I had my gloves in my other hand and managed to brush it off myself. Although I never saw it hit the ground so I was freaked until I got upto studio and asked a studiomate if it was still on me. Fortunately it wasn't but I've been jumpy ever since. I keep thinking that it's on me somewhere. I must have jumped 5 feet in the air when I walked by a bush that brushed across my forhead earlier. I'm so completely paranoid now.
Ok enough with the spider story, I'm creeping myself out again. At least I'm at work right now with only one other person so I don't have to worry too much about spiders cuz I'll make him kill them for me if I see them. Hmm . . . I really need to get keys to this place. I keep getting locked out on my morning shifts and I even had an appointment this morning. It's frustrating not being able to get into work. Fortunately my co-worker came in so I was able to get to my appointment on time.
Ran into Meriel today while on my way to get coffee. I hadn't seen her in a long while, especially since I couldn't play ultimate frisbee for most of the season due to my heel.
Mmmm. . . now this is cool: Holy Grail Ale. Now that's what I'm talking about.
Well I've probably blogged enough for one session. Gotta leave myself something to rant about later when I need a studio break. At least I don't have Enclosures today (yay!)

I'm feeling very alone right now, alone and hurt. Yes there may be 30 other people in the room with me, but each is doing their own thing or talking to their own friends. I currently have no one to talk to, not even on IM. I'm attached to my desk doing work. I can't go anywhere or do anything with anyone. And when I really needed a friend no one was there. So here I stand, alone, hurt, and unhappy.

Mmmm . . . day 2 of studio hell. It'll be interesting to see if I stay on schedule today. Probably won't, but I can try right? Hmmm . . . I wonder if Amie will be in today. If she's not I can seal her desk for model making, that way I don't have to use mine. Although I'll have to make sure that if I leave in the middle of making it that I transfer all my shit to my desk in case she comes in. Then again David hasn't been here either so maybe I can use his desk. Although his desk has stuff on it so probably not. Amie's only has a cutting board and a ruler, two of the things I'll need to make my model. Hmmm . . .

Well it's that time again, time for me to actually start my final project for studio. I have all my underlays done and I'm in the process of cleaning my board and mayline (which sadly I have to clean by hand since there are no more paper towels left because the cleaning staff is off on the weekends. It's basically equivalent to trying to clean a ball mouse with your fingernails. Time consuming). Ah good, my mayline is dry (had to let it airdry for the same reason I had to hand clean it). So now I can get out the soft scrub and a sponge and clean the pencil marks off my borco. Although it's always fun at the end of the term to see which marks came off and which ones are still there. My elementary school from winter term is still on my board. Hopefully this time around it'll come off.

Ah yes, day one of studio hell. It is now time to spend countless hours drawing and modelmaking for my final studio presentation. On the plus side I have this whole weekend to work on it and I have all my supplies now and it's a small building so it should go by quickly enough. The hard thing will be wether or not I can get some airbrushing done, which reminds me that's the one thing I haven't picked up yet, more air for my airbrushing system. Crap, I should go do that. But before I go, I found a humorscope that I found rather funny because it fits a certain person who I know happens to fall under that zodiac.
Virgo
Today you will be either snug as a bug in a rug, or smug as a thug on a drug. Hard to say for sure.
Friday, November 28, 2003
Ok so I feel better now that I got that out. Since unfortunately all of my friends are gone I can't vent my frustration at anyone. Although I have a feeling that this frustration will be vented at an actual person or two sometime here in the near future. Maybe I should just go home and play with the hampster I'm hampstersitting this weekend. Maybe that'll make me feel better. I just need to stop thinking about it and concentrate on something else. So here are a few Humorscopes from today that I found funny:
Virgo
You will come up with a theory about people - that you can learn a lot about them, simply by removing the first letter of their name. For example, Ron -> On. That's why I'm on-line. That also explains why Hugh acts so primitive, sometimes. And if I were you, I'd avoid Alice.
Sagittarius (mine)
Dispite having a brilliant mind and a lot of terrific friends, you find yourself stagnating in a quiet backwater, with financial success nowhere in sight. You will go into business for yourself, however, making frozen Piroshki based on your grandmother's recipe, and will become rich and famous. Your grandmother will thwap you with her umbrella.
Pisces
A brilliant idea for a new hand tool will strike you today, but it will be years too late. People these days are much less likely to buy an "M.C. Hammer" than they would have been a few years ago. If you're really intent on being an inventor, you should come up with a "drum roll", which you can sell to Pillsbury. Ta dah dum.
And just for good measure here are some good ones from The Onion
Aries
You're known to all as a person who doesn't bother hiding her feeling. That's not a typo. You've only got one.
Libra
Your superhero career is born when a knock on the head from a radioactive evergreen tree gives you the proportionate strength and speed of a Douglas fir.
I think this person would be a good sidekick to Squirrelman
Sagittarius
Surprisingly enough, the end of your life will include 20 minutes of credits, copyright information, and a rather sad zither-based closing theme.
I wonder who my copyright belongs to
Ok well that's enough of that, I should really get back to work now.

Why is it that sometimes the mere mention of someones name can send you into a raging ball of fury? Just because you're pissed at someone doesn't mean that you should get upset at the slightest hint of their being. Damn irrational emotions, it was a simple reqest he made of me but because it's him I'm feeling very pissed off and childish. I'm tempted to not give in to the request simply because I was going to do it anyways and he shouldn't even have to ask, but because he did I got p/oed. I don't like feeling like this, especially right now because it's not very conducive to working, and I have a lot of work to do. I also don't like feeling like this because it means that I'm sinking to his level, and I refuse to do that. So while I am feeling childish and am tempted to just not give it back, I will give it back, but on my own terms, not his. So if the person I'm refering to happens to be reading this (which I doubt) check the mail, 'cuz I'm not comming within 10' of your door.

My Humorscope for the day:
Your slogan for the week should be "Carpe Diem", or "Sieze the Day!." Once you sieze it, give it a good shake, just to prove you mean business.
Although it should probably be this one:
You still have way too much to do. You always have too much to do. If you were any more behind, you would be able to kick yourself. Ever try saying "no"? Sheesh.

GYAHHHHHHHHH!!! I don't think I've been more stressed out in my life before. My class load is incredibly heavy, problems are developing at work, and I'm having issues with people outside of school. All of this is adding up to a very stressed Dini. This is not good. Especially since I think this is the reason I'm not passing Enclosures. I haven't spent enough time on it because of all this other shit I have to deal with. This sucks.

Bleh, this has been a crappy yet productive day. Yes I was productive enough to finish that damn 15 page paper for Electronic Music but damn it I could have used those 6 hours to do Enclosures or CIS. Now I have to finish the CIS before doing any more Enclosures and I'll have a shitload of Enclosures drawings to do tomorrow night. *Sigh* so much for sleep this week. At least on the plus side I have the crappy-ass paper done and all I need is to edit it and Thanksgiving is comming up this week so I'll have time to catch up on my studio work during the break. I did want to get my final presentation layout done this weekend so that I could get supplies, but hopefully I'll be able to do that tomorrow. Oh well, back to the grindstone for me.
