It's been a rough week, but I thought, in the spirit of Academic World Quest, I would make this my new thing:
109. I, along with a team of course, came in dead last in an academics tournament.
The aforementioned Academic World Quest was the tournament, and I seem to remember us doing decent last year, but I guess we were just the worst out of everyone . We didn't even win the team spirit award, although some may argue that we were a shoe-in. (We had hats.) Whatevs, we'll just stick to quizbowl.

They Shoot Horses, Don't They?
I had a quizbowl tournament tonight, and I just won't have time to do something super duper legit, so I'm going to throw this one out there:
108. I attended a class with only 4 people, including myself.
Keep in mind, no one was absent. 4 people total are in my Psych class. And we're going for it, they aren't pulling the plug. So, I'm pretty excited, because Psych is going to be awesome, plus I know what to expect from the Bergie Berr, so I hope that works to my advantage.
Quote of the day:
"So, at one point, we all had generic sexual organs."
-Mr. Ponto, AP Bio
I don't know why I thought that was funny.
On another note:
I'm pulling the plug on the movie quotes, because there's one left, and I don't think anybody's going to get it.
6. Best In Show
Parker Posey says it, remember?
Tianna got the Zoolander one tonight, but I said it outloud to her, so the way I said it, might have given it away, I don't know. It was David Bowie's line.
But for the mostpart, good job guys.

Go placidly amid the noise and haste
This one might seem very familiar, and it should. It's a slight variation on one of my previous new things.
107. I took a one minute shower.
You may remember 3 1/2 minute shower day, and think that this shouldn't count. But it most definitely does. It was so difficult, but I'm completely clean. I had to skip conditioner of course. My hair will be having a wack attack tomorrow, I'm sure. One minute was what I was trying to go for the first time. I honestly couldn't think of anything for today, because believe it or not, I DO have a list of ideas, but a lot of them required much more time and effort than I had to spare. I dare everyone to try and do the one minute shower. Maybe not before a hot date.

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
106. I gave a basic tutorial on how to use InDesign.
Although I am the Graphics Editor of our paper, I am not usually completely confident with my skills, and can never remember basic stuff from Graphic Design class, but today, since we're switching our system so that everyone has to make graphics and take photos, I had to teach InDesign, because I know that much better than Illustrator. I made our Design Editor do that because I don't remember how to use it very well...But the point is, I was able to teach people to make Infographics and Sidebars without screwing up too much. Now I just hope they don't come to me with any questions that I definitely can't answer...

It's either sadness or euphoria
I would like to amend my previous post, without actually amending it. My mother points out that I made Chicken Noodle Casserole for the first time yesterday. A fact which I pointed out constantly since I took forever, and did such a bad job. So, I'd like to switch that to:
105. Jan. 26: I made Chicken Noodle Casserole.
It's delish.
But I also updated from school. People are going to get irritated with me for saying this, but even 100 days in to this, sometimes I forget to do new things, or forget the new thing that I've already done. My bad....
I also got Caroline to be mad at me today, but that's not a new thing. I'll use my blog to publicly apologize to her. I'm sorry I made you waste an hour of your life for no reason. Sorry....I'll buy you a Chipotle and let you come over and watch Willow will me.

Speaking of which, I bought Willow the other day. I'm super excited. Now I just need to buy Labyrinth, and then I've got my childhood favorite films in my collection once more. Emily, or Caroline, or parents even, do you recall any movie that could also be a childhood favorite of mine? I'm really into that right now.
Monday, January 26, 2009
And I shrugged my shoulders, as people do in novels, but never in real life.
105. I updated my blog from school.
Isn't it lame that I updated my blog from school, and it was my new thing, but I didn't write about it in that post. I don't know why not. That's a little anti-climactic.
I am currently obsessed with Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. I finally cracked open my season 3 eight volume set that I finally got in the mail, and I have been watching non-stop. Emily, you have to come over and watch with me, or I'll let you borrow it. Either way.
Why is Hank in this picture?

Much Ado About Everything
I guess I haven't really posted anything in awhile, and I don't think anybody will be satisfied with what I have to show for myself:
101. Jan. 22: I received my first issue of Glamour in the mail.
Obviously not something I did at all, for sure.
This one is lame too:
102. Jan. 23: I watched "In Bruges"
I really loved it, it was really funny. I love Ralph Fiennes so much, he is the awesomest. And even though I don't usually love Colin Farrell, he was good. He reminded me of Paris. They have the same face, and expressions, but Paris is sketchier.
103. Jan. 24: I went to a midnight movie at the Uptown.
They were showing "Labyrinth" and thats why I went. I love that movie so much. David Bowie is probably the coolest person who ever existed. God, I need that soundtrack right now.
104. Jan. 25: I slept over at Caroline's apartment.
Since she lives in Uptown, I slept at her apartment after the movie. We hung out beforehand, but SNL wasn't on (stupid Patti LaBelle...), and I had to watch the weird shows she and Austin watch like Burn Notice, which I really never wanted to watch in my life, because I hate the main guy. He's stupid.
Intelligent post right? poop- love zoe

Much Ado About Nothing
Stupidest thing I've ever read in my entire life. As if this should be a shock to ANYONE:
"Sorry, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, et. al; you may be overwhelming fan favorites, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has no love for you.
The blockbuster vampire flick Twilight didn’t garner a single nod in this year’s list of Oscar nominees. The movie was wholly eclipsed by such fare as Milk, Slumdog Millionaire, The Dark Knight and especially The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which garnered an astounding 13 nominations.

Oh well; at least Pattinson and the gang have plenty of $1,000 bills they can wipe their tears away with."
I found this as a link from IMDb, and absolutely had to investigate. You can visit the website here.
I'm sorry, I have no patience for people who know NOTHING about the Oscars. Especially people who think that Amy Adams will win for Doubt. *Cough* Molly *Cough*
I don't like Reggae, oh no, I love it
100. Jan 21: I played Risk.
I was observing again for the special needs assignments I need to do for econ, and they had some sort of computerized version of risk, and were playing it on the big screen, and they helped me out because they know I'd never played it before. I lost really bad, but it was actually really fun. I might have to get that game now.
100 holla!!

99. I watched a Presidential Inauguration.
We had CNN streaming into classrooms at school so we could watch it, so that's essentially what we did 3rd hour. It was very epic. It went pretty quick. I got to see mah boy Bill Clinton in a tasteful yellow scarf. I wish I would have watched his inauguration, even though back then he wasn't truly mah boy yet.
Good Taste.

98. I saw a Mickey Rourke movie. As I'm sure you can guess, The Wrestler.
I've been waiting to see that movie for awhile now, and I saw it at the Lagoon tonight. It was really good. Not as amazingly incredible as I was lead to believe. Mickey Rourke was good, but I can't say I want him to win the Oscar. Although, that's not to say he won't. I really want Sean Penn to win. And I def don't think Marisa Tomei will win, even though she was pretty dece.

The Captives
I'm stealing this from Caroline's livejournal. Feel free to guess if you want. This is not my new thing, I'm simply bored and want to blog.
1. Pick 20 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote dialogue from each movie.
3. Post them in your own blog for everyone to guess, but not before you take a crack at these!
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. No Googling/using IMDb search functions.
6. As always, winner gets cookies!
1. Wow. This place is great. When can we move in? You gotta try this pole. I'm gonna get my stuff. Hey. We should stay here. Tonight. Sleep here. You know, to try it out. Rachel- Ghostbusters
2. I love that word "relationship." Covers all manner of sins, doesn't it? I fear that this has become a bad relationship; a relationship based on the President taking exactly what he wants and casually ignoring all those things that really matter to, erm... Britain. We may be a small country, but we're a great one, too. The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter. David Beckham's right foot. David Beckham's left foot, come to that. And a friend who bullies us is no longer a friend. And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward I will be prepared to be much stronger. And the President should be prepared for that.
Caroline- Love Actually
3. I'm not entirely sure that I've had enough rum to allow that kind of talk. Caroline- POTC
4. Now, I wouldn't have a second's hesitation of blowing your head off right here and right now in front of 'em. Now, that's power you can't buy! That's the power of fear. Caroline- Batman Begins
5. Who has a safety deposit box full of... money and six passports and a gun? Who has a bank account number in their hip? I come in here, and the first thing I'm doing is I'm catching the sightlines and looking for an exit. Caroline- The Bourne Identity
6. We met at Starbucks. Not at the same Starbucks but we saw each other at different Starbucks across the street from each other.
7. There's not many people that'll understand what you're going through. But I think this guy, Xavier, is one of them. He seems to genuinely want to help you. And that's a rare thing, for people like us. Rachel- X-Men
8. Because "accident" implies there's nobody to blame. Caroline- Hot Fuzz
9. 2:46, get a watch that works. Caroline (I guess)- Ocean's 11
10. Took you long enough to get here. Took you ten years to get to my house. Huh, what's the matter? You don't like my house? Does my house stink? That's right-it stinks! I didn't have no favors from you! Don't slum around me. Talkin' about your prime. What about my prime, Mick? At least you had a prime! I didn't have no prime. I didn't have nothin'! Leg's are goin', everything is goin'. Nobody's getting' no nothin'. Guy comes up, offers me a fight. Big deal. Wanna fight the fight? Yeah, I'll fight the big fight. I wouldn't wanna fight. Know what's gonna happen to me? I'm gonna get that! I'm gonna get that! And you wanna be ringside to see it? Do ya? You wanna help me out? Huh? Do you wana see me get my face kicked in? Leg's ain't workin', nothing's workin', but they go, "Go on, fight the champ." Yeah, I'll fight him. Get my face kicked in. And you come around here. You wanna move in here with me? Come on in! It's a nice house! Real nice. Come on in and move. It stinks! This whole place stinks. You wanna help me out? Well, help me out! Come on, help me out. I'm standin' here! Caroline- Rocky
11. Unless the enemy has studied his Agrippa... which I have. Emily- The Princess Bride
12. If nobody has any objections, I believe I might be of service. Tianna- Zoolander
13. My $2000 ceramic Vektor my mother got me as a special gift. You threw in the lake next to the car. What happens when they drag the lake? You think they'll find my pistol. Jesus. Look up "idiot" in the dictionary. You know what you'll find? Caroline- Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
14. Please don't follow me around with it either because I feel like I'm going to catch on fire spontaneously. Just stand down. If something happens, then come in. Caroline- Iron Man
15. Maybe I'm spending too much of my time starting up clubs and putting on plays. I should probably be trying harder to score chicks. Caroline- Rushmore
16. My insurance? It's your car. Your insurance should pay for it. I wanna know who's gonna pay for this. I spilled beer all over when that car smashed into me. Who's gonna pay my cleaning bill? Rachel- Back to the Future
17. I... I'm here on a spontaneous holiday. Caroline- Mamma Mia
18. Listen. Since I've met you I've nearly been incinerated, drowned, shot at, and chopped into fish bait. We're caught in the middle of something sinister here, my guess is dad found out more than he was looking for and until I'm sure, I'm going to continue to do things the way I think they should be done. Emily- Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
19. Maybe not, but it's the only thing I know how to do and I gotta do something. PARIS!- Speed Racer!
20. Now, you listen to me! I don't want any plastics, and I don't want any ground floors, and I don't want to get married - ever - to anyone! You understand that? I want to do what I want to do. And you're... and you're... Mother- It's a Wonderful Life

Salsa Con Queso
I was only home for about 2 hours yesterday, during which time I forgot to do something new.
97. Jan. 17: I ate General Tso's Chicken from Star Moon.
So that'll have to suffice. I love General Tso's. I used to love Star Moon. During "The Summer of Dreams" (summer after 8th grade) I literally went there at least twice a week. I don't know how I didn't go completely broke, or at least gain 15 lbs. But anyways, I've recently looked past the convenience and good food, I realized how sketchy it is, and have been going to Fresh Wok instead. During my time with Fresh Wok, I switched over from Sesame Chicken to General Tso's. Verdict: Not as good at Star Moon. Fresh Wok is better on all levels.

A Little Night Music
96. Jan. 16: I ate Moroccan Food.
I had had couscous before, but I had never eaten a Moroccan dish. It was some sort of chicken, chickpea, carrot, apricot, couscous, and some other stuff sort of dish. It looked like it was going to be really spicy, and I wish it was, but it wasn't. It's grown on me, but I would make it spicier, and not eat it with couscous. Even if it's not traditional..

I don't understand the same things as you
I had a sister date last night with Caroline and Emily, and since we're sisters, we didn't really do anything new, but upon Emily's suggestion, this is my thing:
95. Jan. 16: I watched a shaz ton of featurettes on The Princess Bride DVD, and also the movie, but I'd def seen it before. Def.
There were just a lot of special features, because it was the special edition, so we watched the making of featurette, like a minute of Cary Elwes's video diary, all the TV spots, the theatrical trailer, and two whole other featurettes, I don't remember what exactly they were. So, yeah.
So sister date was Caroline, Emily, and myself, going to Baja Sol, and being there for a long time, and sampling a lot of the salsa's, and me giving Caroline a mock interview, where I was trying to be really abusive and unpredictable (I just want to prepare her for the worst) and we pretty much just talked sisterly things, and then we went back to Emily's house, and tried to decide on a movie to go see, but we couldn't really decide, so we just decided to stay there and watch a movie, and I mentioned how I've been watching Princess Bride non-stop lately, and wish I had brought it, and Emily said she had a copy, so we watched that. And I ate some Trader Joe's chocolates, that weren't that good, and a whole box of Sweet Tarts, and that was pretty much it. It was much more fun than I make it sound, believe me. You'd have to be a sister to understand.
So, If you couldn't tell, I've been completely obsessed with The Princess Bride this week. It was probably my favorite movie as a child, and as we were watching it last night, we could all practically quote along with every line, and get the intonation down, even. That was a Royce family classic. I saw it on TV recently, and I watched it the twice in a row that it was on, and then I really wanted to watch it again, but I only had a VHS of it, so I bought it at target like a week ago, and I've been watching it a ton. But, pretty much always falling asleep during the first half hour. So, yeah, pretty obsessed right now.

Moon spilling in
94. I made a completely random playlist on iTunes.
This included me going crossed-eyed while I chose the songs, so I could still see what I was doing, but not able to see the songs I was adding to my playlist. For the most part, it's a good representation of my musical tastes, but since lately, I haven't really been into the whole, listening to a lot of one artist, my music taste is more obscure and consists more of me hearing a song on Kool 108 and going home to download it. So, the last nine songs I took specifically from my purchased section of iTunes. Call me a cheater. I can take it.
1. All the Young Girls Love Alice- Elton John
2. Trouble (Acoustic)- Coldplay
3. Carry That Weight- The Beatles
4. The Sun- Maroon 5
5. One- U2
6. Sister Christian- Night Ranger
7. The News- Jack Johnson
8. Layla- Derek and the Dominoes (Don't be misled, this is essentially the same as Eric Clapton)
9. Campaign of Hate- The Libertines
10. Atlantic (music video)- Keane
11. Mudfootball- Jack Johnson
12. I Go To Extremes- Billy Joel
13. Train Under Water- Bright Eyes
14. My Father's Gun- Elton John
15. Old Soul Song- Bright Eyes
16. Man, I feel Like a Woman- Shania Twain (I should probably do something about this..)
17. Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting- Elton John
18. The Saga- The Libertines
19. Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock&Roll)- Elton John
20. Beyond the Sea- Kevin Spacey (Leave it to me to be lame and not have the real version)
21. You give love a bad name- Bon Jovi
22. The Way I Am- Ingrid Michaelson
23. Wishing you Were Here- Chicago
24. Dream a Little Dream of Me- The Mama's and the Papa's
25. If We Hold on Together- Diana Ross (holla)
26. Mind- Talking Heads
27. Gone- Ben Folds
28. Whistle For the Choir- The Fratelli's
29. Thriller- Michael Jackson
Well, I just realized how terribly mondo that list is. Nevertheless, I think I'd have to say that I'm only embarassed about one song on that list, I think you can guess which one (I take it back, Caroline. I'm def more embarassed about the Twain than Diana Ross, and there's more where that came from) You also may notice there is a massive surplus of Elton John. Don't be fooled into thinking I worship at Reg's feet, but I am a pretty serious fan. But that was a total accident that he came up so much. Maybe it's my subconcious effort to get someone to pay loads of cash to go the Billy Joel and Elton John concert with me. Eh? Eh?
You might be thinking "Why aren't you also listening to this new playlist?" eh...I don't really have a good answer for that. But I encourage people to make similar playlists and see what comes up. Or, recreate this exact playlist, listen to it, and decide to drop $200 on Elton John tickets. Eh? Eh???

The Cider House Rules!!
93. Jan. 14: I read the entire Southerner in a day.
Some may think that it's not that big of a D, but totally, I mean, when you've got 16 pages of that thing, it takes some dedication. I read some articles that I had not read yet, during production, and maybe would have never ended up reading, because as an editor, quite honestly, these articles are talked about so much during production, if it's an article I'm vaguely interested in, I would figure I got the jist of it, and that's all I need. I probably wouldn't have read one that I consider the strongest article this month, and I would never have believed that it came from one of our newest writers. Our content and design was great this month, except that all our photos ran too dark. Which made the backpage look a little less appealing, but I'm happy with how it turned out. These things always look better on the computer.
Eh, I guess I don't have much else to say.

Help the Least of These
92. Jan. 14: I operated the scoring system at a Knowledge Bowl meet.
For those who can't recall, I'm incredibly cool, and that's why I play on the Quiz Bowl team, and last night we had our first Knowledge Bowl tournament (The poor man's Quiz Bowl) and I had to help Berggie Berr operate the scoring system. Exciting, huh?
Not quite.

Subject lines are for losers...
91. Jan. 12: I read an article in Men's Vogue.
You may be questioning my choice on the whole Men's Vogue thing, but it's only because I own two copies of Men's Vogue, and I've never read any articles in it. The first time I bought it because of a spread on Jim Sturgess, and the second time, Barack Obama was on the cover. I read the cover story for the Jim Sturgess one, which was about cars. Specifically, Bugatti.
Some things I learned:
The newest model of Bugatti's run out of gas in 12 minutes at full speed, which is a good safety precaution, as the tires would melt in 15 minutes.
I can't really remember anything else.
On another note, I don't suggest for people to read Men's Vogue on a regular basis. It's not a good investment. Although it's MUCH classier than Details, which finds some way to mention sex on every page, GQ where it's at. Classy, interesting articles, great men's fashions, and educational, too. Did you know that you are not to drink Scotch with ice in it? It dulls the flavor.

Mind
90. I watched the entire Golden Globes.
It was actually a little difficult, because the Golden globes are stupid these days. What the heck, no Milk? Where is the love? And I loved Slumdog Millionaire, but I don't know how I feel about it winning like EVERYTHING. Eh, we'll see. This is going to be a tough Oscars to call, in my opinion.
Almost to 100!

Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
89. I went to a Yoga class.
Verrrry relaxing. I went to One Yoga, this small studio on Lyndale Ave. It was really nice, and cozy and relaxing, and it smelled good. Which I'm sure is nothing out of the norm for a Yoga studio. Our instructor, Ben, was very easy to learn from, even though he had to personally help Tianna and Me a few times. I think Jessica, Tianna and I were the only high-schoolers there. There were some older couples, and hip 30-somethings, pretty much. I would definitely go back, but I can't quite remember the pricing scale. It was cheap, but I'm not made of money.
I also visited UW River Falls today, because although I've applied there, I have never actually been there. It was pretty, but small, and the town is super small. It's not too far from home, and that's also where Jessica is going, so I'd have that going for me at least. We'll see..
I also saw "The Reader" today, which I liked a lot more than I thought I would. I didn't think I would hate it or anything, but the opinion that it's a great movie is not widely held. It was pretty long, but that might of been me drinking a large DC and having to pee. I liked it more than Revolutionary Road, and would say Kate Winslet was better in this too. I love Ralph Fiennes, so that worked in it's favor. And the younger gentleman who was in it wasn't bad either. A lot of nudity though. My gosh. I'm not a prude my any means, but I didn't realize I'd see that much of so many people. I think the award for the person who has had the most sex in movies this year goes to Kate Winslet. Take that Academy!

In the face of danger
88. Jan. 9: I went to a literary event. a.k.a an author reading.
It was at The Loft, which is ultra hip, I felt out of place, because I was for sure lacking the hipness. It was for Dobby Gibson, who is a poet. Not a house elf. Although he looked rather elvish, but in the way Orlando Bloom looks elvish, but he didn't look like Orlando Bloom....I digress. It was really cool, and his poems were just kind of about everyday life. He had a great way of putting into words exactly what you feel about everything. He even had a poem, I can't remember the exact name, but he got the title from the name of a subcategory on KISS's Wikipedia page. Which is TOTALLY the kind of thing I do for my blog posts. Just to clear things up, that's why most of them are obscure and completely irrelevant. But anyways, very hip. I should mention though, even though I don't want to, that for my CIS Lit. class I'm required to write an essay on a literary event, so this wasn't my own idea, but I still would have done it, had I not been required.
I heard something interesting on the radio this morning (not this morning, but friday's morning, the day you're reading about) that Anne Hathaway's New Years Resolution is to DO SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY. Holla. Even though there's not way I can justifiably say that she stole my idea, I feel like people are going to compare me to her, so the pressure's on like mad. I've got some good things coming up, but I want people to realize that I want to space out the cooler, more interesting things, because- little known fact -there are 365 days in a year. That's a lot of new things. Just...sayin.....

87. Jan. 8: I went to a CIS Field day at the U.
Eh. It was boring. It pulled me out of class for the second day in a row, but as luck would have it, I had to come back to school for production. Yay Southerner......
But amazing story, while I was working on said newspaper, Chris, Abby, and Jane came up to the office and had a letter for me from Mark Hoonsbeen (who is the most hilarious and novel character to ever hit the world of Econ). It basically said all this stuff about how we did a great job at the Econ Rodeo (Which I forgot to mention, we swept completely because we know our stuff) the day before, and I was so amazed and hilariated (haven't used that one in awhile) that I didn't notice how incredibly fishy it was. Which it was, because it was fake. Even after I freaked out in front of all the editors, and professed how flattering and hilarious I found the whole thing, when I found out it was fake, it was even funnier, because I think I was SO stupid for falling for that. Honestly, even a fool would have never believed it. Oh well, lapse in judgement. Chris is just a great prankster. I even thought about it a couple times later that night and had to stifle laughter because I just can't stand how funny it is. But it's kind of one of those you'd have to be on Quiz Bowl to think it's super funny. I see this becoming a golden inside joke.

Will the world end in the nighttime?
86. Jan. 7: I gave myself a manicure.
As I'm sure you can tell, I didn't just paint my nails. I've definitely done that before. I used a clipper, a file, a buffer, polish, I shined them, used cuticle oil, and then put lotion on. So that's my "at home manicure." It didn't work out very well, because I didn't gauge the "dryness" of the polish very well, so there's some smudging, but I think I did an okay job for my first attempt at making my nails look better than decent.

Bo Yo
85. I played The Office Trivia Game. And Won.
I had never played before, so me mentioning that I won wasn't necessary, obviously, except, we all know that it was. Yeah, I'm pretty awesome.

Amoreena
I was having a very off day yesterday. I was very depressed, and down in the dumps, for seemingly no reason, so I didn't put a lot of effort into this, obviously:
84. Jan. 5: I finally saw Milk.
Which was amazing. I hope to God it wins the Oscar. Sean Penn should also totally win for best actor. And I have a feeling he will. I can also never get over how much I love Emile Hirsch. It doesn't really make any sense (even though he's incredibly awesome) but I just love him so much. Now I really want to watch Speed Racer. Or Into the Wild. Equally awesome.

Rollin' with Brolin
To anyone who was impressed with the blogging catch-up I played, and then dissappointed by my lack of blogging the days following, I apologize. I probably feel the same way you do.
79. Dec. 31: I celebrated New Years with Fireworks.
That's not me getting specific, I could also say using fireworks in general. They were extremely loud, and we lit them out in my street, and I suspect the neighbors got annoyed, but honestly, what do you expect? I had a sleepover with Tianna, Jessica, and Lizzie at my house, and as usual, we didn't do anything too exciting or raucus. We played Tabboo, ate food, watched The Twilight Zone, played Apples to Apples, and that was pretty much it. I don't believe in going insanely crazy for New Years Eve. What's the point?
I didn't really have a good idea for New Years day, so loosely based off of Emily's suggestion:
80. New Years Day 2009: I lived a day in the year 2009.
So, obviously I've never done that before. And can never say that it's a new thing again. Whatevs, I won't allow myself to take crap from anybody.
New Years is the holiday that I'm never looking forward to, but am always pleased when it happens, much like how I "don't like" Spring, but really love when it becomes Springtime. I love all the commercials telling me how to go out and reinvent myself, and make this year the year that will count, and they're very inspiring, although I never do. So that got me thinking, why not? So that will be one of my resolutions. Find some way to reinvent myself. Because, honestly, I'm not at all satisfied with what I'm doing right now.
Anyways, but my New Years Day was fun, I went out to Watertown to go to a "S"elebration, because my cousin Sam was home for the holidays, and he's otherwise in California doing Green Beret-y stuff. We played Catch Phrase, made Leffsa, ate food, and sang Disney songs around the piano. It put me in the best mood I'd been in for awhile, and I was feeling incredibly euphoric, although that was all dashed when I got some bad news the next day, and got really depressed again.
81. Jan. 2: I wrote for the 24-hour plays.
I had participated in them before by acting, but I had never written before, and so I def wanted to get in on that crazy sleep-deprived action. I was in a group with Tianna, Paris, and Emma, and we wrote possibly the best play ever, because we all kind of have a hard time speaking normally, meaning, I think at least, we all have a great odd vernacular. So, our play was super clever- and I guess what did I expect, it's the 24-hour plays- but it relied a lot on being preformed word for word. Which obviously didn't happen. So, at least we have our own self satisfaction. And the play that I was in, went absolutely crazy when Marc and Jordon kind of didn't know their lines, only the jist of them, so we didn't really know our cues, and a lot of things got cut out, and the ending made absolutely no sense. But at least it made it a lot funnier, but it made me feel stupid, because I can't improv to save my life, and I tried to make it work, but I ended up just feeling really stupid. But I got to wear a slammin' dress.
As I'm sure you've gathered, the 24-hour plays are really time consuming, and since I'd already acted them before, that couldn't be my new thing, and when I got home at 10, I was super tired, I guess my new thing is going to have to be:
82. Jan. 3: I got only 1 hour of sleep in one day.
Technically I was awake for over 36 hours, with about a half-hour of dozing somewhere in there, but that is not contained in one day. I really wanted to stay up for the Paul Rudd SNL that I had already missed once, but all I remember before getting dragged off the couch is Jason Sudeikus doing Joe Biden, and seeing Paul Rudd onstage for 2 seconds. So, I guess that will have to do.
83. Jan. 4: I read The New York times.
I didn't read all of it, but I read from it. I didn't really know how to imply that up there. I read an article about Kristen Wiig, and another one about featured Cast Members on SNL. I prefer their Arts&Entertainment section to the Strib's, because since it's New York, they can cover things that aren't so local. Even though in New York it is local. I also discovered that I love their Style Section. It makes me feel fancy to read.

I really wanted to stay up for the Paul Rudd SNL that I had already missed once, but all I remember before getting dragged off the couch is Jason Sudeikus doing Joe Biden, and seeing Paul Rudd onstage for 2 seconds. So, I guess that will have to do.
83. Jan. 4: I read The New York times.
I didn't read all of it, but I read from it. I didn't really know how to imply that up there. I read an article about Kristen Wiig, and another one about featured Cast Members on SNL. I prefer their Arts&Entertainment section to the Strib's, because since it's New York, they can cover things that aren't so local. Even though in New York it is local. I also discovered that I love their Style Section. It makes me feel fancy to read.
