UPDATE: back to being responsible

My second summer class started this week.  So did my practicum.  So now I need to start being responsible and budgeting my time.

Tonight is Friday, and I don't do school work on Fridays.  The big question is: can I maintain a level of mature, responsible adult tonight so I can get work done tomorrow??

Happy weekend.  Any big plans? Small ones?  Any plans of any size?

UPDATE:  As Erin so nicely demanded, here's a rundown of my responsible evening:

 About once a month the city I live in has, what is called, East End Fest.  They close down a street (what a coincidence, it's East Ave) and there are several stages with music and you can drink in the streets.  I was hoping to get out there closer to 8-8:30ish.  But alas, I didn't even leave my house 'til 9ish.  But it was tons of fun and when East End Fest closed down (around 11) we hung out for a few more drinks and then I made the super adult choice and took a cab home.  My friends all went out dancing and didn't get in until after 2.  So I made the right choice.  Yay me!  Although, I was so sweaty and gross that I jumped in the shower and I didn't actually get into bed until closer to 1.

"horrible" TV

In the summer, I tend to watch a bunch of crappy TV.  I don't personally think it's crappy, otherwise I wouldn't be watching it but compared to my normal shows,  it's bad.  Instead of The Walking Dead or American Horror Story, I'm watching Teen Wolf.  Game of Thrones and The Killing are over, let me watch reruns of Dawson's Creek.  

I've heard that The Vampire Diaries is good.  I read the books when I was in middle school and I really liked them.  I tried to get into the show when it first started, but I just couldn't do it.  Every now and then I'll try to watch an episode but it just isn't grabbing my attention. 

That is until tonight.  I  just finished the fourth episode (clearly, I haven't really been watching it much).  That episode ended in away that completely intrigued me.  Then Netflix decided to be a nasty and shut down. Whatever, Netlfix!

What are your guilty pleasure TV shows?

Hello, Weekend!

I, like every other person on the planet, enjoy the weekend.  Sometimes I have plans, sometimes I don't.  Sometimes I'm so busy it drives me crazy. Sometimes I'm dying for something to do.

  I'm super excited for this weekend.  Tomorrow is suppose to be sunny and hot.  And I happen to have a friend with a pool.  And not just any ol' friend.  She's the kind of friend that totally doesn't mind when I invite myself over to use her pool.  She is also the kind of friend who likes to lay out all day and listen to pop music.  So I'm going to make some strawberry lemonade popsicles to bring over.  I also bought her a super cute set of plastic Cynthia Rowely tumblers for the deck.  

And then tomorrow night (when I'm all golden brown and sun kissed) I'm going out.  My roommate from Atlanta, who now lives in London, is in town for the week and we are going out.  Yay!  I haven't seen her since last summer.  

Of course, Sunday is father's day.  So on Sunday I'm heading to my parents'.  We are having a cookout at my aunt and uncle's house.  Guess what?!  They have a pool too!  So Sunday will also consist of be laying out.  

Laying out in the sun is one of my favorite things to do.  Alas, I don't usually have the time or the weather to do so.  

Any big plans for the weekend?  How about father's day?

Ridiculous amounts

In the past three weeks, I have watched an insane amount of movies.  I dog/house sat for work a couple of weekends ago and they have HBO.  Needless to say I watched a bunch.  Now that I'm on break from school, I also have been using nap time to watch some stuff.  *And* last Saturday was a sloth day for me, so I watched a bunch.  I am capable of watching several movies in a row.  I don't do it often, so when I go I really go to town.  

So Best Brother made a comment about being excited for The Avengers to come out.  And was kinda "meh" about the whole thing.  Sure, I thought it could be good, but I had only seen the first Iron Man, so I didn't know the back stories from the other films.  Well, I remedied that on Saturday by watching Captain America and Thor. Now I'm excited and going to see The Avengers tomorrow.  Let me review for them for you.  

First Avenger first. If you are not a dork like me, let me fill you in.  Captain America is basically about a small pee wee of a guy who really wants to be in the Army during WWII.  However, he is so small and puny they won't let him enlist. In comes some scientists who inject him with serum that makes everything about him better (stronger, faster etc).  While I did think it lasted too long and there were several times where it could have ended, but alas, it did not, I liked that it tied in other things from the Marvel universe.  For example, Howard Stark (Tony Stark's [Iron Man] dad) was part of the team that created Captain America.  So they never came out and said "this is Iron Man's dad" but he was there and they said his name several times.  I also love the 1940s era so I like that too.

Ok, Thor now.  This movie also brought in characters from the Marvel universe.  Stark (Tony this time) was mentioned a few times but never seen on camera.  And Hawkeye was seen briefly.  Hawkeye is a character in The Avengers (played by Jeremy Renner).  Thor is about a "God" who is sent to Earth by his father as punishment for his arrogance.  This movie tells us that Thor is not a God but a being from another universe/planet.  So it was interesting.  And the bad guy from this movie is also the bad guy in The Avengers (I think).  

So if you like comic book movies, which apparently I do, you should watch these. 

And also, since it's Friday, let's not forget a quote
