Love this!
Today the electricity went out at my apartment. Things like that really make me appreciate what I do have. For instance, I prefer my milk unspoiled.
Come back on soon please!
My take on Brooke's Take on Jersey Shore
feedthanh:
“I feel like if I watched that show:
1. My IQ would drop by.. a lot.
2. I would throw up.
3. I would punch anyone who even mentioned anything about that show.
4. I would lose faith in all of mankind.
Why hasn’t MTV been affected by the recession?
I am right there with you. I abhor MTV.”
So I’ve been watching Jersey Shore at times when I catch it on a tv at this...
A List of Arbitrary Things That No One Cares About
Lots of my friends like to post lists of their favorite (what they call “Best” or “Top” as if they have the authority) things on their blogs. Like, Top 25 Films of the Decade or Top 100 Films Of All Times (they all seem to be about movies). I’m not sure how people are able to order things so easily because it has always been so hard for me to say “This is my...
I thought of another New Year’s Resolution.
A 365 Day Photo Project. Let’s see if I can do it.
Fist-what?

I don’t know what this “Jersey Shore” thing is all about, and frankly, I never want to know. From what I can gather from seeing a billion Facebook updates about it, I can imagine that it is some trashy MTV show (Really- what MTV show isn’t trashy?) about a bunch of douche bags that I hope I never meet. I’m sure it is just full of Bud Light, Ed Hardy, Affliction, and spiky, gelled hair....

The Improv Handbook: The Ultimate Guide to...
By Tom Salinsky and Deborah Frances-White
Just started reading this book. It is so far and very great and insightful read, not only into the realm of improvisation, but also into the nature of human behavior.
And soon I will be an improv expert and take over the comedic world.

Still reading it. And it’s still awesome.
A few days ago I had some alone time with my dear mother and she asked me if I ever wanted to get married.
From what I gather a lot of girls think about what kind of wedding they want to have from a very young age. I never did this. I have always been rather indifferent to whether or not I ever get married. I am not religious and to me you do not need a contract to show someone you love them and...
You Cannot Fathom My Jealousy
Last night my good friend and roommate met Lady Gaga. She took a picture with her. She even touched her. And the sad thing is I had a chance to out with her and meet the Monstress herself, yet I denied the invitation to instead read some of a book I have read multiple times and watch a movie I have seen before. This is truly my biggest regret to date.
But, I cannot give up. Some day I will meet...
New Years Resolutions
It’s that time again.
1. Get in shape. I may be scrawny, but that is by no means because I am anywhere close to “fit.” I got a new bike (which is awesome awesome awesome) and since I now live off campus I shall be biking to and fro a lot. Hey, that’s a start right?
2. Successfully save money. I have always had money problems. Always. And I am damn tired of it. Well, not...
“Just hear those sleigh bells jinglin’, ring ting tinglin’ to Come on it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you The snow is fallin’ and friends are callin’ ‘you-who’ Come on it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you!”
Oh wait, I live in New Orleans and it’s 70 degrees outside two days before...
WatchYess. Finally, the secret is mine!
I could really go for some seafood gumbo right now.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
“When Mr Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton.”
Oh, I am excited too. Excited and nostalgic.
I feel that you must know that I am slightly obsessed with the LOTR series. I love the films and I adore the books. I have just started...

I’m going to dedicate this break to reading a few good books. I’ll keep you updated on my progress.

Aragorn: You have some skill with a blade.
Eowyn: The women of this country learned long ago, those without swords can still die upon them. I fear neither death nor pain.
Aragorn: What do you fear, my lady?
Eowyn: A cage. To stay behind bars until use and old age accept them and all chance of valor has gone beyond recall or desire.
Aragorn: You are a daughter of kings, a shield maiden of Rohan. I do not think that will be your fate.
WatchHey hey. This is my improv troupe - FDR Improv - performing at the Southwest Regional College Improv Tournament in November. Oh hohohoho! Hope you like.
Welcome!
Hey Michael and Gamble.
Here is another dream of mine.
thesearemydreams:
My friend Thanh and I walked into her kitchen. She began to rummage around for something for us to eat when I noticed a large bug - like an ant except with wings - on top of the fridge. I told Thanh she had better grab some Raid, too. I turned and looked into the living area when I noticed another of the same bug crouched on the windowsill. I...
Yesterday I turned 21. I went to the store and instead of buying alcohol, I bought stuff for my new apartment. I hope that’s a first.
Time for another edition of do want! This time, it’s the Fiat 500.
This car is everything I love in a car. It looks vintage. That’s because it is a remake of an old car.
The original.
It is also super compact and cute. Look at it!
Precious!
Plus, the blue exterior color is called “New Orleans Blue.” Hey, that’s where I live!
Nawlins blue.

I have offically moved into my new new apartment.
Bye bye dorm life!
Though the new place is immaculate and wonderful, I do not have furniture, nor do I have internet. So, expect posts to be sporadic (as if they have previously had reason).
Currently I am at work (the on campus job). I had to wake up at 7 am this morning in order to be here at 8. Of course, I did not wake up until 745....

Everything will turn out alright.”
The Christmas Season: By the Numbers →
Personally, nothing conjures up the Christmas spirit in me more that a good ole’ glass of eggnog. I love eggnog. I’m craving it right now. However, I find that there are a lot of people who hate it (these same people did not get enough attention as children or have some other mental problem I imagine). So, I ask you readers - Do you like eggnog?

Only in Dreams
This is a dream I had that I submitted to this tumblog a couple of weeks ago. Crazy, eh?
thesearemydreams:
I decided to kill myself. I only told one person of my intention, a slightly older gentlemen with glasses who I was somewhat acquainted with in this dreamland. I left a one line suicide note in a notepad and closed it and hid it so it would be difficult to find. I hung myself out on the...

It’s an exciting time for me right now.
This week is finals week, and though it goes without saying, it is a very busy time. Fortunately I only have one actual exam. Two of my classes had final projects due last week. My Biology final was not required - we only had to take it if we were not happy with our final grade, but I was because mine was an A! Plus I never have to take Biology again!...
