so i've been basically bedridden for the past two weeks with back spasms and the bursa acting up, every time its better enough to go to class I go and then it gets worse and etc. vicious cycle.
anyways on top of that shit today i developed a wonderful migraine, thought I could manage rehearsal anyway, spent most of rehearsal running to the bathroom to vomit, blacking out with pain, and having my right lef finally completely give up on the idea of supporting me.
my throat hurts, my voice is wrecked from dry heaving so much, i can't walk, and my vision keeps fuzzing in and out
survey says no class tomorrow
i'm pissed too because i had to leave rehearsal early and we really need to get the blocking of that scene down but i couldn't stand up unassisted so that wouldn't have worked so well

so before Medieval Architecture happened Charlie and I were talking about Hamlet with Rachel and Michelle, specifically that I had only murdered Charlie because he was a creeper and that we had had an incestuous threesome (with Mari) perhaps because Charlie's infertility required my presence to beget an heir.
The moment incestuous threesome was mentioned our professor (who was sitting behind Charlie) sat up, leaned forward, and developed an expression of curious and traumatized interest in our conversation. I noticed this, but continued explaining our incest to Michelle and Rachel, at which point Rachel noticed and pointedly mentioned we were discussing a play and our characters. (way to spoil the fun)
We also determined that if Denmark were the enterprise King Hamlet would be The Shat and Claudius would be Captain Fine (because Claudius is A GQ MOTHERFUCKER)

Holy shit Denis Ten, okay yeah the jumps were...pretty bad, but those spins were INSANE, in a few years he is going to be the one to beat. Also I loved the music, but then I'm a sucker for sing, sing, sing.

Stephen...what are you wearing? That top is shapeless and baggy and the looseness of the bottom...it is not a flattering look for you bb, unless you want to look like you are wearing a rectangular sack for a top...in which case, congratulations. also way to go for the cliche music, although I will admit I liked the choreography, and you did an overall decent job with it (especially the last spin sequence) although dear god the collar and sleeves on that costume

Oda, I do not understand your costume, is it bones? is it a tornado? but it looks awesome, and you were fucking on this morning, as you have been all season...so it's looking good for you. I also really love the difference between his two programs this year, his short is so powerful and dynamic and emotional, and his long is fun and cute. also I love, love, love, to watch this man jump he always has such power and smoothness to his jumps. It might still be a bit early to predict what's going to happen at the Olympics but I think Oda is going to be a very strong contender.

Sergei...skates well, he skated a good clean program and he certainly deserved the score he got but I just can't get into him as a skater, it's kind of the same way I feel about Plushenko only with less of wanting other people to take him down.

All I have to say about Yannick is...I got distracted by your lavender shirt (to match is lavender skate guards) and your neckerchief. also that fall looked like it hurt and possibly tore something important...because yeah, ow, you were all twisted up when you landed and you got a huge cut on your arm.

Evan...you are skating to firebird, it is an unwritten law that when you skate to firebird you have some orange, yellow, or, red on your costume, none of this all black shenanigans you are pulling, even if you do have foofy feather gloves. This should not be allowed. Why Evan, why the all black. also the flaily arms do work when you are actively trying to look like a bird flapping it's wings...so i suppose this music was a good choice for you. However the shoulder ruffle things...they do nothing for you, get rid of them.
Skating wise, you did a good job but I saw none of the joy you had last season, is it because you are dressed as a chicken? do you not like being dressed as a chicken evan? or is there some other reason?
Also those gloves looked really hilarious is the kiss and cry when he is just sitting around acting like a normal person and he has FEATHERED HANDS

and BEN and Tanith, wow you both like hot in your...Moldovian outfits. I APPROVE, I especially like the red skates on Tanith, and the...chirping birds in the music. and Holy Shit they are ON, they are so in sync, and the music is just really high energy, and wow that lift at the end, where she rolls fro his front to his back, that was pretty amazing. I do not know if that was a good interpretation of Moldovian folk dance, but it was a good ice dance program. and...I think Tanith cut her arm, also Ben playing with his hair in the Kiss and Cry was adorable.

Okay so I was looking at the backstage photos at Moscow, and at first I was just all, I really like the jacket Johnny's wearing but the bow tie is a little puffy, and then I realized the bowtie was made of fur. Oh Johnny, I love you even if you did fuck your axels today, I hope he does better tomorrow, the chances aren't looking good but I'd love it if he could crush Plushenko.
In other news...Meryl and Charlie are still amazing, and I feel bad for poor Brandon Mroz I like him I do and it's sad that he fucked up so spectacularly his first time out this season.

I've finally broken down and gone back on my meds, I haven't been in a good frame of mind for the past two weeks and I think I need the balancing.
I had a very nice night tonight thinking about it though, I was wondering around campus hanging out on the porch of the broken down houses and thinking. Then I got hungry and went to the campus center for some chips and a bubble tea, and accidentally ran into my girlfriend (and next_muffin) which brought...a lot of the stuff I'm worried about to the surface so I got a little disconcerted. So I went and climbed a tree and ate my chips looking up at the leaves, it was probably more enjoyable than it should have been but I needed to physically balance to get back my equilibrium I think.
Clearly I need to do more critical thinking in trees.

Things I am looking forward to about the up coming figure skating season
1. Meryl and Charlie, their free skate is to Music of The Nights, and their original skate is going to be from Devdas, which I'm sure will not only produce an awesome routine but also an awesome costume, I think Meryl in some sort of Sari-esque thing will be gorgeous.

2. Denis Ten is going to be in the Grand Prix, which means more Denis Ten to watch being all adorable. Also his short program is to Sing, Sing, Sing and I love that song.

3. The return of Stephane and Daisuke, I can't wait to see them again.

4. Evan Lysacek, his music choices actually sound interesting this year, I love the music from The Firebird and from Scheherazade and I want to see what he does with them.

5. Yu-na Kim, her short is to James Bond music, I think it'll be a lot of fun.

6. Johnny, just for being Johnny

7. The excitement, of really not knowing which American man is going to the Olympics, of course I hope Johnny is one of them but with Johnny, Evan, Jeremy, and Brandon all being strong contenders and Ryan Bradley,Armin Mahbanoozadeh, and Adam Rippon also being included in the Grand Prix, we've got a deep field right now and only three of them can go, it's going to be tense.

Also I might have a job TAing Discrete, and...other than my classes and hopefully Hamlet I guess that's it. I can do this I swear.
I'll probably take Med. Arch. C/NC, or drop Computational Geometry though, we'll see how much work this looks like its going to be.

am on campus. pre-season yay!
I have managed to move in, I got my things out of Radnor storage, which was difficult, and crazy and involved me crawling over a million boxes across the room, until I finally had to balance on a box sitting on top of a bicycle as my mother kept warning me about all the pipes I was about to hit my head on. It was fun times, but I have sheets! and exercise clothing! so it was worth it.
Denmark is nice, mother decided I needed more shelves in my closet than just the two provided, so we got some lumber, and good times were had by all. Screen wise we could probably have it flat in the hallway, or one panel per room, we can decide that later.
I bought a dolly for the purpose of me being able to move stuff, but when people are moving in if you need to shift boxes or anything and would like to borrow it swing on by.
I will be v.busy during pre season times but give me a shout when you get on campus!

In other news the Kerrs will not be doing anything Scottish for the Olympic year, they will instead be doing Johnny Cash, because Vancouver makes them think of cowboys. I will miss seeing John in a kilt.

Reasons I love John Rodgers (writer for Leverage)
1. q from fan :My question is, how much more Hardison/Parker unresolved sexual tension (on Hardison's part at least) can we expect to see this season? And does it bother you that more fans (or so it seems) are shipping Eliot/Parker?

answer from John :More fans are shipping Nate/Eliot. Let's be honest here.

2. q from fan: Please can you put Hardison in a dress? If I ask nicely?

answer from John: I'll ask Aldis.

3. q from fan: Why would Hardison make the code for "all's well" odd numbered Treks & bad stuff even numbered Treks? Seems counterintuitive.

answer from John: His logic was that all the odd-numbered ones should be ignored, therefore a warning should be ones you pay attention to. Also, Wrath o'Khan joke.

4. q from fan: Here's my question, though it doesn't quite have much to do with the actual show. There has been a long standing rumor that Christian has tattoos on one or both of his legs but you don't see any sign of that in the episode ...

answer from John:I asked Christian if I could see his legs. That did not go as well as one might hope.

5. John on the inaccuracy of television shows But the same thing happens for every city, including the ones we writers live in. For example, I live in Los Angeles. We have a lower murder rate than Phoenix, Arizona. A lower murder rate than Indianapolis, Indiana. A lower murder rate than Wichita frikkin' Kansas.

But if you watch television -- made by people who live in LA, shot in the city of LA -- do you ever see The Closer: Minneapolis Hellhole?

No. According to network television, Los Angeles is Murderville, capitol city of Rapesylvannia.

Angelenos and New Yorkers, however, have just learned not to give a shit and enjoy SVU hunting down this week's subway sodomizer. It may be perhaps because we're busy destroying culture, but it's just something we're used to.

All this to say, we're glad you're watching the show, and assume if we come to your town and get something wrong, it's an honest mistake born of scheduling and chaos rather than laziness and willful condescension.

Unless it's about Rhode Island. You people and your stinking "plantations." Yeah, you. We're coming for you.

yes...the point of this story is that you people should watch leverage and/or read jon's blog kung fu monkey.

i sort of feel like a heartless corporate shill now.

I took my GRE a few days ago, i'm really starting to gear up for this whole grad school application thingy business. Fun thing with the GREs is you get your score right away (except for the essays)so I don't have to wait and worry about that.
Going to be back at Bryn Mawr in less than a week, who's with me?
My goals in going back early involve covering my hall with print outs of Danish royalty (and maybe figure skaters) Denmark is taking over the basement.

I've been planning to cook Bestilla all summer long, it's that Moroccan pigeon(chicken) pie, with the powdered sugar and the cinnamon.
Finally did it, of course my mother decided to invite over company and didn't tell me about it until after I would have already needed to start cooking to have it all done in time, but it didn't matter too much, the Bestilla is best straight out of the oven anyways so it gave us plenty of time for cocktails.
I made the pie, without onion or egg, because as much as I love the pie, I don't quite like the egg in it. It came out great, I am totally reserving SGA kitchen and making this thing. SRSLY it is amazing. I impressed myself, although honestly I don't see how you could go wrong with this recipe.
I made a basic Moroccan baked vegetable thing with prunes, carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash (and cloves, nutmeg, cardamon, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper, ground coriander seeds, ground ginger, etc., etc.)
and Mom did a sweet cous cous for dessert. It was a success, even if it wasn't all done until 30 minutes after Aija came.
i'm thinking dinner party first few weeks of school before things get too hectic (field hockey permitting)

People, if you like femslash, which really, who doesn't?
and if you like NCIS (although the fic really stands alone)
read the fic written for me in femslash this year
It's by arsenicjade
it's pretty amazing. It's Ziva/Abby, and it's great seriously. One of the things I said I liked, was religious characters dealing with their relationships in context to their religion and this was really good at doing that, addressing not only relationship/religion issues but also military/religious issues, and I will stop babbling now.

My house is now full of babies! This is a good thing really, I love babies. I want to have babies I am a rational human being so I am going to wait a minimum of five years before I have any of my own but I love them really.
They are 5 months old and they are twins and they are adorable. and teensy.
My 47 year old cousin, her husband and 9 year old step son came out for their 2nd wedding anniversary and brought the babies along (well you can't really leave them behind now can you?)
So their vacation is basically them showing up and going out and doing things while I am at home with the babies, which is pretty awesome for everybody involved, especially me.
I get to spend a week with babies, feeding, cleaning, changing, being obnoxious, doing the stupid voice thing.
It's very exciting.
Seriously, I might be biased but they are some of the cutest babies of all time. At least they will be unless they start teething this week.
That might not be so cute.
But unless that happens. cutest. things. ever.
BABIES!!!!!!!!!
that is the amount of coherency I can summon for this.

So I bought the soundtrack for The Emporer's New Groove.
It includes a song by Eartha Kitt about how she grew up experimenting on dead bodies and um...how the sun is her ultimate enemy because it makes her grow old.
also a song by Rascal Flatts called Walk the Llama Llama
Basically it was a good purchase. I understand why they took the songs out of the movie, it works well as a not-musical. But there were some pretty good songs, and I mean Eartha Kitt you know? Why would you have her in a movie without songs?
But that is what the soundtrack is for. clearly.
