amusement for the misfit

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009This is absolutely awesome! Wait until starting around the 60 second mark.
Run, Don’t Walk
Thursday, October 29th, 2009Yes, I know I’m later than usual with the update on my fiancee’s Mike Rowe’s shenanigans. I’ve decided to skip the blatant pervy comments that last night’s episode seems to demand from me, so I’m working on it.
In the meantime, I received an email from a former co-worker and current friend who I worked with [...]
Dead Snow
Sunday, June 21st, 2009Very rarely do I ever check out The New York Times online. Seriously – I’ve held a grudge against them ever since they were asinine enough to print spoilers (in the form of stolen copies) Harry Potter, which I consider bad form regardless of who’s doing the spoiling.
Anyway, every once in a while I’ll pop [...]
At Exactly 1:12 p.m. Scotland Time…
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009I heard my first crack of thunder since I’ve been here.
It was pretty loud and a bit long, giving extra-special meaning to the term “rolling thunder”.
I’m hoping this means we’re in for a grand storm.
I haven’t experienced a good thunder storm since I left Florida.
It’s all about the small joys for me, apparently.
***edit – as [...]
The Perfect Present For Someone Who Has Everything
Thursday, June 4th, 2009Don’t you hate trying to find presents for the person who already has everything? Like my dad who is apt to buy what he wants for himself leaving the rest of us scratching our heads for birthdays and Christmas.
I don’t think 17th-century witch bottles have been the rage for quite some time.
It’d be a great [...]
Yep, Still Procrastinating
Monday, May 25th, 2009So the first chapter of my dissertation is due a week from today. I’ve managed to scrape together about 800 words of my 3000 word limit – most of which was written sometime last week.
Here’s what I’ve done in the meantime:
Watched the last 20 minutes of Jane Eyre 2006. Twice. I. Heart. Toby Stephens.
Watched the [...]
I Am *Such* A Freak
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009I’m still working on my last essay – which is due on Thursday and I’m not quite halfway done – but I saw this article this morning and it made me giggle.
30-year-old Man ‘Gives Birth’ to Embryonic Twin
The best part: “Hyatt said he keeps the twin in a jar at home and calls it “Little [...]
From Mr. Rochester to Prince John
Sunday, May 10th, 2009In further procrastination news, I’ve discovered Toby Stephens aka Mr. Rochester plays Prince John in a BBC TV show adaption of Robin Hood. I’m not overly familiar with Robin Hood aside from the generalities, but I’ve watched the first 7 episodes from Season 3 and I love it!
Except for the fact that Prince John isn’t [...]
I Can’t *Wait* To Go Back Home…
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009When I’m not galavanting around the globe in search of an MLitt, I live on the Treasure Coast in Florida. And when I’m procrastinating on writing an essay (which I’m doing right now at this very moment) I go check out my local online news to see what the goofy kids (read: dumbass people) of [...]
Kicking off Midterm Break*
Monday, April 6th, 2009*This should probably be filed under “Posts that My Mom Will Want to Kill Me For”
Midterm break won’t be much of a break for me since I have an essay to write, but last night me and my program cohorts headed over to one of our instructor’s houses for dinner & hanging out which apparently [...]
