Grumpy Beastie's Other Lair

Well yesterday I was basically a zombie all day. I went to my first class and fought to get permission do write my paper on the Metal Hammer cover, even though the magazine was in nola, and it got it. Win for me. I just kind of floated for the rest of the day. At one point I took a nap. When I woke up it was time for my other class. I rolled over and went back to sleep. Later I went to get dinner, after Martini called and woke me up. I wasn't very hungry but I thought I should eat something. It was a small portion of salmon with some rice and a couple pieces of squash. I took me three hours to eat it. Then I took a shower, which livened me up a little bit. I don't know why if I have to cry it happens when I'm in the shower. It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't been joined by one of the 80 idiots I live with. I told myself I was going to clean and do laundry but instead I played on pandora and perfected one of my stations. I ended up listening to very headbangable music very loudly , which I'm sure upset the girls that live next to me. They only listen to country and britney-esque pop. It wouldn't bother me as much as it does if it wasn't all the time, very loud, and the walls weren't so thin. Later, I felt the need for a slurpie and an over priced hotdog, so I made a late night run to 711. Then It was time for work. We were surprisingly busy for the first half of my shift. Then it died around 4am. After that I ended up reading and watching Hellsing. When I got off at 8 I had to help my boss with some stuff. Then I went straight to bed. LP says I'm getting better about sleeping and I think she maybe right. I kinda hope so, I get tired of being up for 4 days straight or only getting 6 hours sleep in a week. And I was woken up by a phone call from Hoobie at 4 because we were supposed to go to the mall. We had to run to catch the bus but we did. She got some clothes and a new game and I got some sunglasses, a new purse, and underwear. All a girl needs right? I got some ducks too. I really need to stop buying ducks. We got home around 9 which is when my dad called to yell at me for no reason. I'm sure he thought he wasn't yelling and that he was being helpful. Then I went and kept Maiko company till she closed. My book also finally came in and I now need to talk to my CD and plead my case to get an extension. All very boring I know. Tomorrow I shall try to be more interesting.

Remember when I said Tuesdays suck? Well...TUESDAYS SUCK! To continue with yesterday, I registered for classes yesterday. I only need to take three classes next fall and I found three that would make up the perfect schedule, one I don't really care for the professor but I love the subject matter, the other two are classes I like with professors I love. Unfortunately, the two with the professors I love are at the same time, so I can't take them both and it just screws up my schedule all the way around because nothing else really fits and meets the requirements I need. All I can do now and hope that I don't screw up my GPA this term and at least pass everything in the fall, because I have no wiggle room for screwing up. And considering how my papers are going and how my Islamic Art and Architecture midterm went, things are not looking good. Also I got my Limited Edition Love Metal Archives Vol. 1 dvd yesterday. You would think this would be a good thing but no. I was excited because my computer is supposed to work as a multi-region player (I'm in the US and the dvd is from the UK so the dvd isn't really compatible with my player). Anyway, This turned out to be a lie. The bonus disk worked fine. On a whim I tried the bonus disk in my regular dvd player and it worked there too, which is rather odd. So I tried the other disk and it didn't work, no surprise there. But it wouldn't work in my computer either. One of the players on my computer let me change its region but its temporary and I can only do it four times. So I watched it because I didn't know how long it was going to be able to. It is very good and very beautifully put together. I'll come up with a long term solution later. Then I got the kitty news. Then I went to work. I didn't get to nap before work and I had to work with BM last night. She all but admitted to being drunk and was her usual unhelpful self. Not that there is a lot to do on the 11pm -8am shifts but she doesn't do anything and then expects people to pity her cause she "works so hard and is up all night." She slept for 4 hours of her shift last night and last time I worked with her she slept for 6 1/2 hours of her shift. And of course I have an 8:30 class after work. I honestly have no idea what we talked about today. I took notes but I can't read them. Then I had to do to office hours to get a picture okayed for a paper I'm writing. She loved it and wants me to do it (its the cover of the Oct 2005 Metal Hammer with Ville Valo on it) but she wants me to bring in the whole magazine. I can't! And whats more on the instructions it says reproductions of the picture and she hasn't asked anyone else to include the whole magazine. I have scans of the cover and of the Him article (she wants me to include information from the article as well) but the magazine belongs to my friend and she is 2 time zones away. So tomorrow I get to go talk to her again and hope I can make my case. Otherwise I'm writing about a fashion ad like everyone else. Then I sent a text I shouldn't of as I was running to class. Again no idea what happened in that class either but I took much better notes. Then I had to run to the library. I have only been able to find 2 books for one of my research papers and I had to order one of them from another university and it isn't here yet. The paper is due next Thursday. I spent the rest of the day trying to get kitty news and calm Martini down( because I freaked her out with my text). Not even Euro Rock Radio cheered me up. I have also missed all meals except breakfast. My low blood sugar is very upset with me. Lets hope I don't waste tomorrow.

Well today was...different. To start off with it was storming really hard this morning but then by afternoon it had stopped. For the rest of the day it couldn't decide between being sunny or cloudy. I went to lunch with my dad. We went to the bowling alley of course. We chatted, we ate, the usual. It also turns out that my favorite restaurant, Lee's, is shut down. I also didn't do a very good job of screening my calls because now I'm helping my aunt move the hospital bed tomorrow. I did start a new book today. Its an autobiography called If It Die by Andre Gide. Its a nice read really. It has a nice flow to it. Its kind of witty and sad in a beautiful way if that makes any sense. Most of the day was spent snuggling the kitty. She hasn't left me alone all day. I wasn't "feeling well" so I lit my favorite candles. They are the rainbow tea lights I keep in the Indian (as in country in Asia) style dish, my beeswax sweet pea scented breast cancer candle, my Nirvana scented Karmic Cube I keep in the purple glass holder, my pomegranite scented candle in the Him tin, and my white pillar candle. It worked for awhile, then mom came home. I went to the post office today and my Revolver, Spin, and Jane magazines came. I was all excited to read them and then I remembered I also have the stack of magazines that came for me while I was at school. I still read them but then it seemed like more of a chore than entertainment. I think mom broke my shredder. She has been the only one to use it since January and now it doesn't work. It seems like a reasonable assessment to me. I accidentally broke a bowl today making dinner (tuna sandwich with coconut cream pie and chocolate milk). It fell out of the cupboard as I was closing it, bounced off the counter, and exploded when it hit the floor in to tiny shards that went from one end of the room all the way into the laundry room. I have been toying with the idea of doing my hair up in kind of a pony tail mohawk for years but when I went into the living room to get my cd player as I was hiding in my room waiting for House to come on, some guy on American Idol had his hair that way. I have now decided against it, but I still maintain that my hair would have been way cooler. Today on the news they showed something about some prison doing Inmate Idol. The winner and his cell block or section or whatever won food from Pizza Hut and McDonald's as a prize. The judges were an Elvis impersonator, Alice Cooper, and the county sheriff. I have also discovered there is such a thing as press on toe nails. No Comment. *shivers* I also finally found my cell phone today. I had a text from Martini and she is sad. I wish i could go to her and make her happy, perhaps by bringing Ville with me wrapped in a pretty bow. I also don't know if I like this Simply Sleep stuff. I sleep but it give me weird dreams, well not weird more like unpleasant and annoying. As Scarlett once said "tomorrow is another day."

I'm so ready for this term to be over. If I am not at work or in class, I'm sleeping or at least attempting to. I still haven't gotten those photos posted that I promised. I have to get a paper done early because someone else needs the books now. We live in the same dorm so she decided to work on the same topic so she could get the books from me. I have another paper due in a little over a week. I need to meet with my professor because I managed to sleep through both sets of his office hours, even after I set the alarm. I have been working on my papers. I'm behind on my reading again, but that is normal. My boss is switching desks next week, so I'll have a new boss come monday. Hairball is possibly moving. VeniceBiatch is MIA. She still has my stuff and we need to talk about next year because I'd personally rather not be homeless. Also I have another meeting at work about my grades. I don't know why. I took care of this at the beginning of the term and my grades have improved. I don't know what's going on but I'm glad class has been canceled for tomorrow. To top it all off, its been freezing rain and wimpy snow all day except for that weird little moment of sunshine. On the plus side I did get to register for classes next term and I bought hair dye today. So hopefully next week I'll have new hair. Next term I'm taking Islamic art and architecture, Origins of Abstract art, and history of photography. Not really what I wanted to take but it is what was available. Also as an update I adopted some fetuses and I made some Icons. The icons are on gummiwolf's profile.
