Send You My Love on a Wire

So, as of yesterday, I've been listening to the so-called "The Clash at Demonhead"'s version of Metric's song Black Sheep. I like the version made for the movie sung by Brie Larson more than the original, though they're both catchy to me. Now, if Brie Larson sang more songs like that, I would totally buy those songs. I like her voice. And her as Envy Adams in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

I can't help singing the chorus over and over again, and I can't help just looping this. I got so crazy that I found that there is an Envy Adams appreciation tumblr, from which I found this art here on the left, see?

Anyway, I could do for a few telephone calls or text messages or videochats, or IMs. I'll send you my love on a wire. ^^ It's Thanksgiving weekend (or, is about to be) and I'm just in such a good mood, despite the period of fear in chemistry class earlier today going over the correct answers for Monday's exam. At least we probably won't get our scores until next Monday, so we can sort of relax and enjoy the weekend. (:

I took a trip to the library yesterday after class to get books on the Qin Dynasty and the First Emperor so I could start looking at what to write in my upcoming archaeology paper for Anth. I also borrowed Hotel Rwanda (which I have not watched yet) for extra credit for Hawaiian Studies. I ended up borrowing two more movies, Happy-Go-Lucky and The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, despite the fact that I could probably watch the latter of those on Youtube. Sigh. But, with me going home this weekend, I think that it will make for good FAMILY TIME! Yeah! I find it interesting that as long as you have a library card, you can borrow those R-rated movies. I mean, I asked the lady about it, but she said "That's interesting! No one has asked about that before! But it's all up to your parent's discretion!" Anyway. Watching movies and stuffing myself with food is probably what I'll be doing instead of thinking about papers or math homework this weekend, ehehe. Gotta make the $3 paid worth it! And give them to my mother to return so I don't have to make the trip to the library again, ahahaha!

This past weekend I purchased the following item with my mother:

When everyone returns... this will be fun. TRIANGLES ARE AWESOME.

Holiday spirit is kicking in! I, however, am not looking forward to shopping. Or rather, I'm not going shopping, haha. Homework time to make sure that I can enjoy the weekend. (: Adios!

It's Not What it Seems in the Land of Dreams

The past few nights of dreams have been so strange, from force-feeding Grace and Claire leeks (so I didn't have to eat any) in an restaurant accessed in a glass bubble elevator that ended up underwater, to time traveling to the future to hide behind bookshelves from aliens we knew were coming, to hiding in a room by the lounge, locking the door on Annie, hiding in the corner and laughing like a nut, to opening the door and making a huge dent in a white convertible that was apparently Alyssa's and in the lounge. In the building. Hehehe.

Anyway, it's scary how easily I get distracted on the internet, following one thing to another. Take the lyrics in the title, this time. Yesterday I was listening to my iPod and the lyrics were catchy, but I didn't know what song it was and was too lazy to grab it to see the title, so I typed some of the lyrics into Google and found the song, Tiffany Blews. From there I went to the Wiki page on the album, Folie a Deux, because I wanted to see if it listed who made their guest appearance in that song, but then I noticed, in the track listing, that there was that pregap track, Lullabye, which is now linked in the title of this post, hehe. Then I put Endless Youtube to work and searched Lyric Wikia, and listened to it on repeat until I went to sleep.

Last Friday was pretty much a normal Friday, except we ate Panda Express for dinner in support of RAPS (yay orange chicken, mushroom chicken, and beef broccoli, yay for overpriced fake Chinese food!) while my mother and grandmother were at a birthday party. This weekend was full of me lugging around my chemistry textbook and studying, the occasional playing of the piano/violin/guitar & singing on rock band, and the constant petting of the cat and being loud. I listened to the two mix CDs I'd left at home repetitively, entitled SPATULA and PEW PEW, or something of that sort. Comfortable silliness. Prowled Pearlridge for a short while on Saturday, spotting Mr. Seta and eating one of Cookie Corner's chocolate chip cookies before going to mass and playing piano. Went to Windward Mall on Sunday (for Youth Symphony II's mall concert), and spent some time walking around and talking to Stewart, including a brief, nice encounter with Jaycee, and various familiar parents. Shopping alone is lonely, though I could spend forever just staring at things in Gamestop and crawling through bags in Macy's. I did eat crunchy maki sushi for lunch, and shared a Caramel Macchiato shake from Ben & Jerry's with Jaynie after the concert was over.

Frankly, I find it funny that that means I've been to three malls in three days. I am not that big of a shopper, really.

Today was chem exam day. I used my grey purse for once to maximize quick movement from class to class! It  made me feel like I had to stand up straighter, and that I was more exposed. At least it was comfortable.

I walked to Campus Center after class, and was entranced by the "Passage" masters thesis showcase in the Art building gallery they usually have. Stunning. Telephone wires tied to emergency sprinkler valves, linked to beautiful lehua blossom trees, printed with only the flowers being red, and the rest of the tree black. Absolutely beautiful, how they all connected. Then inside, a giant pipe you could look through, to see the ceramic birds hanging from the ceiling. there were quite a few with those, as well as sculpted pipes. The mixture of the manufactured products of today's society with nature. Birds holding screws, sprinkler heads.... I can't get over the prints that were on the wall, hiding the inside along with the pipe. It was as if you stepped in and found the birds trapped, hanging still, but still being alive and having movement. I like how the manmade objects were entangled with nature; the art itself just amazed me and pleased me so much. I could have stood outside and stared forever.

The session of calm, peace, and reflection was then followed by a brief laugh session and gulping of power sized Strawberries Wild from Jamba Juice with "the guys," who are as silly and offensive to each other as ever. Upon return to the dorms, however, I finished season one of xXxHolic and, get this, HAND TURKEYS.

They're awesome. I'll take pictures of them soon. It was a party! Annie, Jessica, Megan (Katharine briefly), and Claire and I! Claire provided the paper, and we brought in the rest of the miscellaneous items required for their assembly. I'll write in more detail about them later, too, hehe!

Suffice to say, it was a nice day for me, and hopefully that chem studying I did gave me enough common sense to override the panic that was occurring in my mind during that exam.

Don't worry your head, just go to sleep. (Fall Out Boy)
