Quick, someone buy me this!

I have to work black Friday tomorrow. 3:30 until… I don’t even wanna think about it.

I don’t know what to do with the morning. I could go out in service, write a paper or two, sleep in, or figure out some other way to amuse myself. The papers really need to be written, but I have so few free mornings… Suggestions?

Света сердита (опять)

Published by Nicole under Uncategorized

…из-за профессора книжнего клуба Опры. Конечно.

Okay, here’s the sequence of events. Paper is due Tuesday (tomorrow). Last Wednesday I sign up to meet with him about it Friday, and find out why he grades my work the way he does and/or why he dislikes me. Friday goes well, quite cordial, he doesn’t seem to have any major reasons for always giving me an A-, so I guess the mystery continues. And he wants to see my paper again, once I work up a real draft. So I make an appt for Monday at 9:30. I have a nice unproductive weekend and have to stay up all Sunday night to do the paper. I get to Angell Hall at 9:40, he’s not there. I wait half an hour, no sign of him. The janitor guy keeps coming by to chat with me, and he insists that the prof is in his office. Well, in any case he wasn’t answering the door.

Then I go to Dostoevsky. After talking about all the things that should have been mentioned (almost none of which I did), I was dreading getting the exam back from MLM. I open it up, it has the grade of… direct quote here… A/A-. What the heck does that mean? Is that like A- and a half? A-+? I don’t get it. I forgot some stuff, give me an A-. I’ll take them when I deserve them.

Then I fell asleep while finishing my story for Russian class. I woke up at 4. Class is from 2-3. Oprah’s book club is at 4. I was 20 minutes late.

I’m no longer tired anymore, so my sleep will continue to be messed up. I feel a little sick, but I’m going to eat anyway. It was probably the huge amount of butter I threw in my scrambled eggs at 4 am.

Well, I sure have been writing a lot lately. Does that make me a writer?

I have been making up this song in my head for a while now. I can’t find a rhyme other than черепаха… Like a turtle, why not?

Может быть,
он может забыть,
но я не могу,
и я не хочу…

Я сделала ничего
из-за страха…
Как черепаха?

Maybe
He can forget
But I’m not able to
And I don’t want to

I did nothing
On account of fear
Like a turtle

LOL oh well. Should be writing something more pressing.

Bored, bored, bored

And yet there are a million things I could be doing.

I rented “A Free Soul” which is from 1931. It stars Norma Shearer, Clark Gable (pre-dentures, I’m thinkin’) and a Leslie Howard so young he looks like Jude Law. Halfway through, I’m likin’ it, even though there’s not a whole lotta plot. But for the early thirties, it’s pretty good. Quite decent cinematography.

And ED! I cried again! It was so perfect, how he proposed! And Burt Reynolds as Mike’s father was hilarious.

And this site I found was totally accurate about compatibility with crushes. The last page is a doozie, so stick with it.

Man, no one on WinMX or KaZaa knows how to spell Def Leppard.

Why on earth did I think I could write songs?

Published by Nicole under Uncategorized

When I went home this weekend, I was looking through some of my old songwriting notebooks, and was nearly crying with laughter at some of the moronic lyrics and enharmonic tunes I came up with. Here’s one gem in which I evidently imagined myself some kind of lounge singer or something. Port Huron??? I can’t explain it, other than to say, look at the date, I was 15. It’s an insane age. Verse 3 is especially precious.

CANADIAN MAN
10/1/98

I still have a pennant in my kitchen
And a postcard on my fridge
I had a gig to play in Port Huron one day
I met a man from over the bridge

Oh I used to say “I’m going to be alone,
Yeah, baby, catch me if you can.”
I was howling on, pounding out a song
And I fell in love with a Canadian man

His accent was stronger than from Sarnia
He had a missing tooth from a hockey fight
A Canada Dry in his hand held high
And two toes lost from frostbite

I asked if he had a request
He said “O Canada would be good.”
He put his hand on his heart, and I did my part
I played it as loud as I could

I got a warning look from the owner
Complaints from some of the guests
But in my defense, I made no pretense
In all honesty, I take requests

On my break I chewed gum, he chewed Skoal
And we talked about feeling overlooked
Then he said, “Hey, you wouldn’t want to go out, eh?”
And it was then I knew I was hooked

He waited until I was through at ten
We went to a sporting goods store
We made a few buys, said our goodbyes
And then parted ways evermore

You know, I’ve never been in love
I’ve never even come that close
My Canadian was fun, he might have been “the one”
But I guess now we can never know

On the other hand, I was trying to use internal rhyme on the third line, I couldn’t have been too uneducated about meter. I guess what’s more disturbing is the fact that my imaginary Canuck bf was evidently worldly… ?! I really can’t offer any explanation, other than maybe a gas leak in our house or something.

I deserve to be homesick, if only for the radio

Published by Nicole under Uncategorized

As soon as I got within listening distance of the Tri-Cities, all was well. I switched off my mix CD and immediately heard “The Man Who Sold the World,” which I hadn’t heard in a while, and had just been thinking about Kurt. Then it was “D’yer Mak’er” which started to get creepy because Led Zeppelin had been in last night’s conversation too. Then “I am the Highway”–appropos of Rodrigo Day. I actually heard Dada on the radio, on Z92.5 of course. There was a ton of other good stuff, but I am forgetting it now. Oh, “Natural Woman.” Wha-oomp.

I went to my old store and spent about an hour telling everyone how much worse it can be. Marlene even said she would forward my formal list of infractions to corporate! Nicole, the Mole of Kohl’s. Sounds like Dr. Suess.

Well, I am going to study my WT for tomorrow, then maybe I’ll get around to fixing my site. I have to hand-code all of Nic’s Notes and Talitha Cumi because they need open source code for all their banner ads. :P I honestly don’t know why some of the pix aren’t working. I think some might have gone through ftp in ASCII instead of binary, I don’t know if that’s what’s wrong. And my tech support peeps seem to have blocked me from messenger. Or else they’re just never online anymore. Having a life. What’s up with that.
