Too busy for a quote.

batskeetsToday has been slightly poop. My local instance of the app is broken *again*, so I've had to do the design-y sort of work I've been doing lately by coding it completely blind. Thing is, I'm so anal-retentive that, when I make changes in the code, or the stylesheet, or whatever else, I want to see whatever it is that I've just changed like, right-effing-now. But, since the app is broken, I can't see what I'm doing! This is driving me a little nuts.
I did have salon tea today, though, which was lovely, so I'd definitely call that the bright spot of the day, even if there was a beet on my tea sandwich. It was a heart-shaped beet in honor of Valentine's and it being February and all, so it *was* incredibly cute, but no way was I going to eat it. ;p Still, lots of Peach Oolong makes it all okay.
Anybody want to go see Constantine? For some reason, I kind of want to go see it, even though I know very little about the Hellblazer comics. Not this weekend, obviously, but sometime soonish. Yeah, a little bit of that probably has to do with the fact that Keanu Reeves is headlining it. Shut up.
See, Keanu is something of a guilty pleasure for me--you can say what you will about his acting ability, but the man is nice to look at, y'all. He's kind of pointy and angular in an unusual way, but you have to admit, the camera *loves* him. And, the man is 40. I'll praise Jeebus x 10000 yen if I look that good when I'm 40. Or, you know, if I look that good EVER. Also, every fan account I have ever read about him says he's basically the most genuinely kind famous person ever, and is also much smarter than the general populace likes to think. Apparently, he's a pretty thoughtful and totally stand-up guy, which is very cool, especially in light of the fact that so many other high-profile actors are pretentious, jaded, and/or generally asshole-ish. So yeah, eat that, sucka'! :D
One more day of work, and then I run away, away! I've never been to Davis, and I know very little about it, so I'm not sure what to expect. Also, the 20 or so of us are apparently all staying with Ken's mom or something like that, so I *really* wonder how that's going to turn out. ::laughs:: I have learned, however, that at least one other girl is registered for intermediate nanquan, so I'm saved from the terrifying prospect of competing against advanced division people. Yaaayyyyy!
MEME! MEME!
Ten Things I Have Done That You Probably Haven't:
1. Had 9 stitches put into my knee after a totally ripping bicycle accident. You can still see the scar, too.
2. Moved coast-to-coast with my family three separate times. Hence, why I hate moving with a fiery passion.
3. Took the SATs in 7th grade, and in doing so, qualified for the special smart kids summer camp that Johns Hopkins sponsors. That accounts for some of the best summers of my young life, y'all.
Edit: A better #4: Done the Michael Jackson's Thriller dance, in full zombie regale, all over town on Halloween weekend. Come on, that was awesome.
5. Got featured on a Taiwanese advertisement that I still cannot read, because I was sooooo cute and small and half-Caucasian. And uh, 3 or 4 years old at the time. And no, I don't recall what it was advertising, but I think it was for a series of children's books. (also, my pretty aunt was in it, too)
6. Skipped a grade.
7. Flown in a small plane piloted by my daddy. Because he can do that stuff!
8. Wrote a dorky and vaguely-embarassing LJ entry about meeting Wil Wheaton, and how cool he was, and how much I luuurved him and wanted to have his babies, only to have the man himself find it and show it to his wife less than 48 hours later.
9. Paid the bills for over a year by driving around Eugene in a 15-passenger van full of drunk kids several nights a week. (DDS fo' lyfe! ::rotfl::)
10. Went to a Star Trek Convention with twins! And you know what? Cons are fun. So shut up, you. :D

Date: 2005-02-24 06:55 am (UTC)I still haven't gotten over the betrayal of Max Headroom just being a dude in makeup. (the dude, incidentally, being that guy who pretended to be a historian from the future who traveled back in time to visit TNG, but actually turned out to be from the past). I have a persistent phobia that some day I'm going to find out that the "Dire Straights - Money For Nothing" video was actually just filmed live-action using two actors that suffer from some bizarre genetic disorder causing all your body parts to be made up of boxes, cylinders, and cones.
