So I passed much of my free time during lab hours today watching Revenge of the Fallen teasers and trailers over and over again. I imagine this is rather telling.
It was a nice first day in the lab. Our lab manager was here for a few hours, but she stayed in our lab room and I stayed out in the common area working on some of the stuff we have to do for next week. Hopefully I can get the rest of it done tomorrow so I won't have to worry about it over the weekend.
So far I've been here an hour longer than I said I would, and part of me is like HEY, YOU, DO MORE WORK, but the rest of me goes I READ BOTH THE ARTICLES AND DID ONE OF THE ETHICS MODULES, LAY OFF and in the meantime I'm listening to Pandora online radio and catching up on my various RL flists.
( To-do list, feel free to skip )
Okay this entry mostly has no purpose, hello.

1:55 pm - On Star Trek and giant robots
|
So I saw Star Trek last night with my sister ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) meisshe, her boyfriend, and some of his family. It was just as TOTALLY AWESOME as everyone said it would be! And I'm coming at it from a position of totally-not-in-the-fandom-never-watched-any-of-the-shows-but-knows-enough-about-it-to-get-the-jokes, so there's that/ I was really impressed by it overall, though; it really didn't feel like any of the actors were trying to play The Original Actor As [Character], they were just playing [Character]. And the special effects were fucking fantastic, and that's always a huuuuge part of sci-fi movies for me.
Overall, I'd totally recommend it, even to non-fans! It was a hell of an impressive movie! and why didn't anyone tell me the guys who wrote transformers wrote this to ahhhhhh
Also, I ended up driving 80 on the highway on the way home. I remember doing that same thing after Transformers two summers ago. Clearly, I should not be allowed to drive after really energizingly awesome sci-fi movies. 8|
Speaking of Transformers, AHHHHHHH. MY LIFE IS FULL OF ROBOTS RIGHT NOW. ANIMATED IS CURRENTLY BEING AWESOME AND REVENGE OF THE FALLEN TRAILER LAST NIGHT AND AND AND THIS THIS MORNING AND AHHHHHHH
I am getting myself soooo worked up for this movie, haha, and the worst part is I didn't start getting really, really excited until I saw Blackout in that Showest sneak peek footage, and again in the trailer they're playing in the movies right now. <___> I mean, I was excited for it! That's undeniable! But now it has Blackout.
Except I'm not positive on that. I'm terrified, as the movie gets closer and more info about, like, the actual characters comes out, that it's going to turn out to be....Soundwave. He's supposed to be in it, Blackout was Soundwave for a while in pre-production of the first one, and they play similar roles, overall--big 'Cons superloyal to Megatron with minions they can order around. We've already seen Ravage in it, and he's one of Soundwave's, and I've seen his name on some of the stuff floating around. It's...not entirely unfeasible that they're just using the same character design for him as for Blackout.
Even though they haven't done anything like that yet, barring the Twins, who are supposed to look the same.
I DUNNO, I'M PARANOID. And obsessed. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed and see.

So, I'm home. So far it's been....ehhhh. I haven't even started unpacking my car because there's stuff all over my room already, le sigh. And unfortunately, I think I've realized why I have so much trouble cleaning my room over breaks from school-- I have nowhere to put stuff. I have a bookshelf, for books, and a couple of dressers for clothes, and that's it, really. No other storage. And unfortunately, I have stuff that isn't, you know, books and clothes that needs to go somewhere!
What I need is, like, another set of shelves, I think. That, or a chance to totally overhaul my room, but I know I'm way too lazy and that would take waaaaay too long to do outside the context of, like. Moving out. So eeehhhhhhhhhng I dunno. We'll see what happens.
In other news, I'm fiiinally off hiatus at ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) dramadramaduck! I was really considering just up and dropping for a while there, but I realized I would miss it too much. )8 Now, with school and with the marketing campaign for Revenge of the Fallen starting up, my enthusiasm for my characters is back and I think I am ready to roll.
Of course, if the wireless continues to non-function--I spent the evening in my sister's room, where the desktop--and the router--is, activity may be a problem. Not only would my family not let me lurk up here all the time, I don't want that. I tried that hide away with the computer thing before, and it's not fun, after a while.
So! We'll have to see!

11:32 pm - There's something about...
|
Finals season. IDK. It seems like every time I have some huge academic commitment I need to concentrate on, especially finals, I get this...
This...
Urge. This urge to be all artistic and creative and flex my left brain. I have no idea why. Maybe it's because the way I study is pretty right-brained? I generally go through the material sequentially, and I make an effort as I do analyze it for connections and similarities to help me remember stuff. All that analytic thinking is pretty firmly seated on the right side of the noggin. This random formless urge could be a left-brain response to that...
Regardless of where it comes from, it's here, blah. I want to write stuff, buuuut I have no really strong muse for anything. DX I've opened up four or five different works-in-progress fanfics and original stories and stuff and just, like, failed at getting anything significant done on them. Which is okay! Because I don't really have time to work on them right now!
Except that I feel like if I could just sit down and work, I would get stuff done, and it's like "aaahhhhh I could be PRODUCTIVELY CREATIVE right now if it weren't for my pressing academic obligations!" Frustrating, is what that is.
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE. No, I haven't been watching Pitchmen. Perhaps the weirdest manifestation of this current incarnation of this urge is the desire to start a separate journal for, like, my writing and stuff--solely so I can institute an immediate and consistent system of tagging and labeling everything. Even though I barely ever write anything to post anymore. What. What, self.
In other words, I want to be either B.F. Skinner or Abraham Maslow when I grow up. Or an osprey. And osprey would be cool too.

9:07 pm - BIG. BLUE. PEEN.
|
Did I get your attention? X3
So I totally just remembered that I promised Plurk I would post the paper I wrote a few weeks on Watchmen-the-movie, rofl. Except that I don't really want to post the entire thing, because I didn't do as well on it as I expected and now I'm all intimidated. .n.
So, uh, yeah.
Anyway, this is the part where I talk about Dr. Manhattan's penis for about three pages. Enjoy?
An excerpt from:
Disappointing Portrayals:
Covert Sexism and Homophobia in Watchmen
( When I originally sat down to write this paper... )
In other news, I have two finals left, both on Friday, which is also the day I have to be out of the dorm. By 8:00 pm. When my last final could potentially run 'til 4:30.
Joy.

Hello LJ. I would post to you, except that it is finals week.
Le sigh.
/returns to studying
OH ETA: If you have a Dreamwidth account, I might creepily add you with OpenID so I can stalk you without getting an account myself. 8D

Nellasaur hasn't used her LJ in ages. She knows. You can tell by the way she refuses to think and write in the first person, lololol Plurk.
She had a reasonably good 21st birthday, though! With leftover Red Lobster and biscuits and cupcakes and tipsiness! (That was interesting.) She also went to two classes and did some schoolwork and worked on an original universe project some and then went to bed! But her side hurt for some reason, so that sucked. )8
Nellasaur then slept later than she planned to and still doesn't really feel quite awake, like someone is trying to smush my head. Perhaps I will go BACK to sleep.
...FIRST-PERSON. TAKE THAT, PLURK.

1:44 am - RP meme nicked from shuraiya!
|
Iii'm only doing this for muses I still play on a sort-of-regular basis, fff.
Years roleplaying: Er...since the end of middle school or beginning of high, sooo...7 or 8?
Least favorite muse?: Probably Temeraire (epic_celestial). I never feel like I'm getting his diction quite right.
Male or female muses?: Nonhuman males and human females, generally. Particularly in, like. "Real" games.
Oldest character played?: Blackout (death_chopper)! He's got about 13 million years to his name. X3
Longest muse played?: At this point, Blackout!
Newest muse?: Carolina Sibley (pescivore)
Which muse of yours would be most likely to...
Jump off a bridge?: Insanity (creationtwinned)
Get drunk and pass out?: Lucinda (bneath_my_wings) or Mikaela (know_sacrifice), although with Mikaela it would be because she didn't know well enough to stop.
Kill somebody in a very unorthodox way?: Blackout
Be far too hyper for their own good?: Insanity
Be raped?: Statistically? Mikaela. Mun-cruelty-wise? AU!Blackout (submittoservice).
Get lost and refuse to ask for directions?: Lucinda. She'd rather just wander around and be lost.
Get lung cancer?: AU!Megatron (i_amthe_one)
Star in a horror movie?: ...Carolina? Man, IDK.
Star in a whore movie?: AU!Blackarachnia (rope_spinner)
Star in a video game?: ...I have no idea. XD Blackout?
Make the world a better place?: Inspiration (creationtwinned)
Have a torrid gay love affair?: Torrid implies scandalous, and the only one I can think it would be scandalous for would be Lucinda. Or Temeraire.
Relate each word to a character of yours:
Love - Mikaela
Hate - Blackout
Money - Lucinda
Seduction - Insanity
Lies - Blackout
Tragedy - AU!Blackout
Manipulation - AU!Megatron
Violence - AU!Bonecrusher (right_righthand)
Politics - AU!Megatron
Fire - Insanity
Ice - Inspiration
Would you ever...
Play a prostitute?: I have three!
Play a musician?: Technically, I do already.
Play a pilot?: I don't see why not?
Play a homosexual?: ROFL
Play a pedophile?: Prrrrobably not, unless they were from a xenoculture where it wasn't so stigmatized. And even then I probably wouldn't actually play them indulging in said pedophilia.
Play a politician?: Nope. I'm bad at politics, even pretendy funtiems politics.
Create a muse for the sole purpose of smut?: Nah, I can't PWP. I mean, I like writing it well enough, but I like it better when it's smut mixed up with plot.
Play a character who commits incest?: lol twincest thx 'san and 'spir

Y'know, I am really starting to think I should just give up sleeping in my bed entirely.
This is, like. Man, I couldn't even tell you how many times I've fallen asleep on the couch. Or gotten up and come back down to the couch TO fall asleep.
That's not right.
Why is it five am? )8
ETA: WHY, PERSONAL LJ, DO YOU NEVER SEND ME FRIEND-ADD ALERTS WHEN PEOPLE FRIEND ME?
Failsauce.

In the past two days, I've spent maybe two hours studying for my Methods and Tools final and...well, the rest when I wasn't tagging people on Biopsychology.
@_@
To be fair, M&T is about two hours after Biopsych tomorrow, so I'll have then to cram, food and facts, and I don't have to worry about revising my paper at all since I did that on Monday. And the (allowed) cheat sheet I'm bringing to Biopsych I'm tempted to scan because it's such an epic work of tiny handwiritng.
But I still feel like my head's going to explode.

Go to your Calendar and find the first entry for each month of 2008.
Post the first line of it in your journal, and that's your "Year In Review".
January:
Apparently I didn't post in January, lol.
February:
"This was the last thing I needed to see in my comic book before falling asleep, especially since there hadn't been anything like it in the first three."
March:
"Lucinda's been bugging the hell out of me lately, so I decided to try and exorcise her a little."
April:
"So today yesterday was apparently national Draw a Bird Day?"
May:
"I've decided I don't want this to be just my art and writing journal anymore, mostly because, uh, I haven't really been doing any art-and-writing lately that isn't DDD-related."
June:
"I've been trapped in the weirdest limbo between "I feel like shit I hate everyone I want to sleep forever no one fucking bother me" and "everything is AWESOME and I couldn't be HAPPIER and I must have caught the hippie from someone because I LOVE EVERYONE" lately, and it's kind of starting to freak me out, hahah."
July:
"What the fuck is wrong with me?"
August:
"Dear Self,
I am getting sick and tired of this bullshit."
September:
"Hnhhhh. I'm so goddamn selfish."
October:
"Ffff weirdest night ever last night."
November:
"God, this was an awesomely fun Halloween."
December:
"Your rainbow is shaded violet."
...Something of a trend there, in the summer, fff.
Norry, I miss you. <3
