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.

My girlfriend is one of my closest friends, and most of my friends are also hers so...if the choice came up it would only be because one of us did something unforgivable in which case it would be our friends choosing one of us!

Sorry to keep spamming you guys but seriously, I thought I had seen the weirdest things Japan had to offer and then I find out Qwaser of Stigmata is being made into an anime. I cannot even begin to explain the plot of this manga(which I must admit I have never read) The WTF factor starts with the magical fighter characters being powered by breast milk and ends with the fact that one of the main antagonists of the series is EVA BRAUN only cloned and with magical killing powers, oh and two of her clones are immortal masochists, that torture people with sex toys, or something, for srs. This anime should be family friendly. But seriously this sounds like the plot for disturbing pseudo-religious Nazi porn, not something that gets published in a shonen magazine.

Popstar on Ice! Is actually going to be shown in SF! GLEE. Now I just have to find people to go with me...Whatever, I'll totally go alone if it means getting to see Johnny being ridiculous on film.
Also, there is a rap song all about him. It is amazing. And ridiculous.

Home, is nice.
Went to a show at the Yeurba Buena Center, Lionel Luke and Richard Bona. It was pretty great, Richard Bona has a much bigger stage personality than Lionel though, so he sort of dominated the set. They were both really great though, I came out of it wanting to look into more of RIchard Bona's solo work because his personality, but also because the man did things (musically) with an electric bass that I'd never heard before it was interesting and beautiful. Of course Lionel was doing really great things with his guitar, but he just came off as a little boring. Besides I like bass guitar better than regular guitar.
Also have seen horses, apparently Chaz has been lame for a month but Mom didn't tell me. He and Rojo are both so sweet and beautiful. THey're all shiny!, last time I saw them they were still fuzzy from winter.
Carol's new summer worker from Uruguay is up here, his name is Jose Ignacio but he goes by Nacho. He seems really nice but we'll see if he's as much fun as Juan was last summer.
Hm, the only other news is that I'm going to be showing side saddle this summer, we're going to see if it feels better for my bursa.
That is all for now.

We're in Rhoads North 61, 61A, and 61B!
This is a night made of win.
I think this triple is going to work out really well, although first semester will be made of Hamlet, even more so if I wind up in the cast.

Holy Fucking Jesus! Evan Lysacek world champion. Those are words I never thought I would be saying. He is going to go into the Olympics defending his world title. I never thought this could happen.
It was all in the massage Johnny gave him. You know it's true.
The Rhinestone Penguin for the WIN!!!!!!!!!
What just happened with my life? Evan is the world champion? the Patrick Prodigy is 2nd? Joubert is 3rd? the 15 year old from Khazakhstan is 8th?
the American baby Brandon is 9th?
This is way more of a shocker than last year with Jeff because Evan has been skating horribly all year, he came in 13th at one of his Grand Prix Events. Goddamn. This moment calls for celebration in the streets.

As of right now, 18 skaters in a field of 24 Denis Ten is in second place overall, and he has the first place free skate.
For those of you who don't know and don't care about figure skating please feel free to ignore the wonder and jubilation. His placement is particularly impressive because he was in 17th after the short program. His free skate must have been incredible.
Denis Ten is 15 5' 4" and adorable. He is Kazakhstan's national champion and one of my favorite skaters. He was one of my favorite skaters as somebody who had potential, someone who wasn't quite there but who would be in the next few years. My roommate and I have already discussed the 2014 Olympics and how we think he will be the champion. He's a beautiful skater, with grace and poise although I could admit that he needed to work on power and some of his trickier jumps.
This though, this isn't him being a contender in the future. This is him coming in to the World Championships unranked ( the ISU only ranks the top 20 men) and him being in a position where the lowest place he can get is 8th. He had a better free skate than the Japanese National Champion. He outright beat the US National Champion, the Belgian National Champion, The Swedish National Champion. Denis Ten is fucking here. and bringing it. This is making me full of joy. Denis has been my favorite skater to watch all year, and now, maybe other people will notice and feel the Kazakhstani love.
Also you know, America will probably get a men's medal in this competition but really, Evan I love you but you are no match for the adorable.

Today is Ada Lovelace Day, an international day of blogging to draw attention to women excelling in technology.
The women I think of the most when I think of women excelling in technology, well let's just say it's my whole department. The people I see in class everyday, who I work late in to the night with in the labs. We're all very different people, but we all support each other and interact based on our common interest-programming. We all excel at different aspects of computer science and that just makes it better for all of us because we can all rely on each other for help, in classes we're taking together or not. I'm more connected to the other upperclasswomen because I've known them for longer. Especially my cs-buddy, who is tragically in Hong Kong this semester. I don't know if our professors know what to do with me now that I'm not goofing off in class with her.
But the underclassmen that I do know, and am still getting to know are all very inspiring as well.
Of course there is also Dianna Xu-C guru, graphics expert, math genius, and the woman who knows more than 100 digits of pi by heart. If you have never taken a class with her and don't know who she is. You should, she's smart, nice, fun, talented, and driven. Plus she keeps us majors in puzzles and chocolate for those all nighters she knows we pull.
When I came to college I never thought I would be doing computer science, it wasn't even remotely an option on the table.
I was deciding between biology and physics, and I took cs110 (this was in the pre-robot days) to get my Q requirement out of the way. Dianna was my professor and I only knew one person in the class but Dianna and Ashley's love for computer science, coupled with the fact that against all odds I was actually pretty good at it drove me to take other cs classes, thinking that I would perhaps get a minor in computational methods.
After I took Computational Linguistics with Deepak though, I knew this was my major. I would never have become the person I am now, know the things I do, have the interests I do. If it weren't for Dianna and Ashley and I wouldn't enjoy myself as much without all the other ladies ( and gentlemen) in the department.
So that's who inspires me.

I don't know how I feel about the new year.
I feel older, a little more confident about myself. I'm allowing myself to trust other people and to use that trust to take some self-esteem but...
I feel fake talking to people, awkward, especially my parents. I hate tht I'm a different person around them and that I;m a different peron depending on who I'm talking to. I bend myself too much to the will of others or the percieved will of others, and that isn't healthy. The only person I was completely genuine with is gone and as much as I miss her for other reasons that's the big one. I hate myself and I can get mad at other people for liking me because I think they are wrong/making a bad decision but I also get frustrated because there isn't anybody left who really understands me, who not only know exactly what is going on but can figure it out before I can and still loves me. I mean there's Julia but we're the same person really so that ...doesn't matter as much or something. I miss bronwen, so much, she was everything to me, It's been about a year and a half now and people treat me like it should be better now but I feel the grief more each day, the event isn't as immediate anymore but everyday makes it more real and every day is full of loss, and that all adds up doesn't it?
I hate being depressing but I feell like all my emotion is trapped inside of me, I don't feel comfortable letting it get out because I don't want to upset people and because I hate it when most people try to comfort me. They just keep saying that its will all be okay and that everything is okay until I have to stop crying or I'll lose my temper and punch somebody. The holiday season made it worse because everybody asks what you want for christmas and there is only one thing I want anymore and I'm never going to get it.
I want to go home but home isn't there anymore.

So, recent news in my life, i finally got cleared to play and then I developed Vertigo. I went to the health center and they didn't think i was pregnant or doing drugs! It's a miracle! They do however think that it's an inner ear infection...again. which is just fabulous. also my sister's cat, or at least the cat she picked out when we were younger is dying of renal failure or some such fatal disease, i don't want him to be gone mainly because he's one of the few remnants of bronwen left in the house after the remodel and i don't want to go home for christmas and have him be gone, have it just be my cat, my dog, my room...i don't want her presence to be erased

I’ve been growing my hair out for 6 years now. In the middle of my senior year of high school people started asking me when I was going to cut it. Some told me I should cut it and others suggested that even though I said I wouldn’t now I wouldn’t be able to handle having long hair in college. This made me determined to keep my hair long out of sheer perversity. The other reason I had was vanity, I like my hair and I think it looks nice, I also don’t think I look particularly good with short hair. I also kept it long and straight because it was easier to deal with when I was playing sports and exercising. Having come to terms with the fact that I’ll probably never be able to play field hockey again I realized that wasn’t an excuse anymore and was contemplating cutting it to the length of my bangs. This impulse was met with an instinct surge of panic and I realized for the first time that a small irrational part of my mind didn’t want to cut my hair, didn’t want to change my appearance because I want Bronwen to be able to recognize me when she comes back. I know she’s not coming back, I know she’s gone, I understand intellectually that she’s been dead for a year now but I still haven’t really accepted it. I don’t know if I ever will. I find myself hoping that I’m trapped in some sort of nightmare and that this past year never happened, I want more that anything for the clock to turn back, to wake up at Michelle’s and continue with Summer 2007. I would willingly give up everything I’ve gained this year to get my sister back. That thought frightens me a little, but it’s all part of why I don’t want change right now. I don’t want to change my appearance, I didn’t want my house remodeled, I don’t want to start anything new or do anything different, because I don’t want this to be happening I don’t want time to be progressing and I’m doing everything possible to be able to delude myself that I’m still at a place in my life where everything is okay.

Just got back from seeing Mose Allison at Yoshi's in the city. It was really good although they had some issues with the sound, they didn't turn on his vocal mike until halfway through the first song and the bass mike seemed to be going on and off at random...but other than that...It was good though, he's a great musician and he had some really great new songs that I had never heard before. So that was a lot of fun.
As the first anniversary of my sister's death comes up though it seems I'm being reminded of her at every turn. I love her and I miss her, and even now a year later it still feels like the core of my world has crumbled. Although I did have my first dream about her a few days ago that didn't make me sad when I woke up, I suppose that means I'm moving forward. This weekend we're planning on just staying home as a family, and while I don't feel up to going out or being around other people I don't know that I want to be around my family either, my mom really because she's trying to channel her grief into making me feel better, and for one thing what she says to make me feel better usually makes me feel worse, and secondly I would feel better if mom would grieve for herself like she needs to. I wish madeleine or Zac were here, or Hillary, or I could talk to Hillary or something that wouldn't leave me isolated with our grief. Well we'll see how it goes.

so while i was at physical therapy today, some crazy professional dog-walker, saw my dog right up the street from my house ( we let her walk around the neighborhood, everybody does it's a remote cul-de-sac so it's perfectly safe) and had the pound pick her up. She called my mom and said it was because she thought she was lost and it was so dangerous on the street etc. It costs fifty dollors to get digs out of the pound and hannah was perfectly fucking safe in our own goddamned neighborhood on streets with baisically no traffic, within vocal control of my house. it makes me so mad, especially since hannah is afraid of other dogs and being thrown into the goddamned pound probably wasn't very relaxing for her.
