Schoolwork Avoidance
Nov. 13th, 2009 07:03 pmLalalala why are all my poli sci readings so boring? This is my major; it should be fun! Though at least I'm finally done Principles of Representative Government. The only way I can think to even slightly improve my experience of reading that book would have been a trip to France to hit Bernard Manin upside the head with a copy. Preferably hardcover.
So now I'm reading Michael Freeden's Ideology: A Very Short Introduction. It's short so that's a plus! And Freeden's style is more readable even if the early chapters are kind of dry. Although there are bits where it's like 'hahahahaha America. Why does this sound so much like you?' so that's fun. I haven't figured out how to make fun of it/anthropomorphize the book concepts yet so it'll be a bit before I can amuse myself properly with the reading.
I fail at not procrastinating. >_> I don't wanna read; I'm BORED. Okay if I read a chapter, I get to watch the new episode of Vampire Diaries before writing my presentation. That will be good incentive. =)

Jun. 1st, 2008 10:08 amMisery Business is kind of an addictive song. Even though the music video is - I don't know. Typical? Obvious? I think I'm just kind of annoyed with the whole oh look, there's a mean slutty girl, I'm going to be even MEANER to her and win the day storyline. =( C'mon Paramore you can do better than that.
Well, okay, maybe not because that's what the song's about. But still. I don't know, I'm going to stop talking now.
I end up saying that alot. I called my friend Ankita a few weeks (?) ago one morning and the conversation went like this.
ME: Hello may I speak to Ankita?
Her dad: She's not up yet.
ME: Oh umm okay. Is she going to school today? Because she said she might not but if she was she'd give me a ride and she'd call back to let me know and she hasn't and I really need to know because it's pretty important I get to school on time today and okay, I really need to stop talking right now.
HD: ...
HD: She's going to school.
ME: Great, brilliant, bye then! =)
No, seriously, why do I keep listening to Misery Business? =/ I think it's the first verse, I just really like the sound of it.
Also, I can't find the wire that links my camera to the computer. Which kind of sucks because I want to upload my AN pictures and all the lame facebook style pics I've been taking lately.
Is it possible to overdose on poetry? I think I did yesterday, I was surfing the Internet and my eyes kind of went into glazed skimmming mode whenever I saw anything that looked like verse.
I need to go wax presenterly on censorship.
EDIT: 151 books since February! I'm predicting 450 by the end of the year.
