1. professor von blum is my soul mate. if i weren't so young or he weren't so old or married then i'm convinced we'd be married. you know why? because besides sharing the same values and sense of humor, WE SHARE A BRAIN!!! it is SO CREEPY when he busts out with stuff that only i complain about. he hates all the same shit i hate...
a. cruise vacations: not so long ago, and many times before, i have stated my opinion that cruises are the stupidest waste of time and money. how can you say you traveled somewhere when all you did was sail by it and stop for an hour to go shopping?! all people do on cruises is eat and like, swim. and go to a show or something. what the hell do you need to be on a boat for? never EVER ask me to go on a cruise because it'll anger me. (exempt: gay cruises, because a ship full of gay people is just fabulous). so we're in class and von blum started ranting about cruises and how dumb they are and how people don't go traveling, they go shopping. and i'm like "WHAT?!?!?!?! THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID!!!!!!!"
b. flags on cars: if there's anything i hate more than a cruise, it's those stupid flags on cars. i've even pissed off one of my readers of this here blog with my comments on those stupid flags on cars. they're dumb. all of 'em. but the ones that really bug me are the ones that appear whenever a sports team starts doing well. before the chargers were kicked out of the playoffs, there was this proliferation of chargers flags on everybody's car. and now, in la, it's lakers flags. why the flags people? they're so annoying! and one of you asked me, what if the flag was relating to hockey? surely you wouldn't find that so stupid. WRONG. there was actually someone with a stanley cup finals mobile in my apartment building.... still stupid. and what did von blum have to say on the topic? he said the flags were indicative of "ultimate schmuckdom." harsh! but true. "i'm a lakers fan but those flags are really stupid." love it!
c. big trucks/suvs: i don't even need to explain this one. just a few entries ago i proclaimed that these shouldn't even be legal. von blum brought this up in the same discussion as the flags.
d. the rodeo: and this one was the most random. just last week i discovered that the rodeo is not only stupid (it could just be that i'm from san diego and have no idea what the possible appeal could be) but cruel to the animals! i always wondered why those bulls are so pissed off. but really, who talks about the rodeo? ....von blum does! he spoke out against the cruelty, and was sure to mention that he's very much against bullfighting too. (which is where my comments went... coincidence? or more evidence that we share a brain?)
so you see, that is why i am so addicted to his classes. they're fun, informative but most importantly he reinforces my values. my very, very specific values. my anti sports flag on big suv values. i'm so sad i have to graduate and never experience a von blum rant again.

moving on:
2. my comm 10 class is so strange. i've heard from many sources that it's a huge pain in the ass. and it is. lots of memorization. but i took the midterm and felt i did pretty well... and i got 43.5 / 50. which isn't terriffic... and actually, that percentage is one of the worst test grades i've ever had. oh but the class on a whole did much worse... the modified straight scale is 80% for an A, 60% for a B, 40% for a C. i've never heard of such a thing! you only need 40% of the points to get a C?! so on that scale i got an A on that midterm. weird, man.
3. maddona is touring. i'm bummed that i hate her new single, but the cd is doing well so i'm probably going to end up getting it. she's playing petco so i'm fairly sure i'll be able to get a ticket. not as good a ticket as last time i saw her at staples (i lucked out so hard. it was a "restricted view" seat but that just meant i couldn't see the stage from the front. who cares? i was jut a few rows away from madonna and it was awesome!).
4. MY BLACKBERRY IS DEAD!!!!! i think i stepped on it while walking around half asleep because the screen is all messed up. oh MY. i didn't realize how attached i was. i know people call it the "crackberry" and all, but come on, not me. i can quit whenever i want, right? RIGHT?!?!? WRONG!!!!!!!! so help me i was about to drive off a cliff in despair. i couldn't make phone calls, only receive them and i had no clue who was calling so answering was risky business. then it kept making noises to tell me i had texts that i couldn't read!!! then i borrowed katie's old phone just to have something, but it only made it worse. i had forgotten what it's like to have a plain old phone. i wanted to check hockey scores, but couldn't! i wanted to write notes to myself and have them pop up at convenient times, but couldn't! i got frustrated trying to text the old fashioned way without a qwerty keyboard. i had to start checking my e-mail on a computer, signing into gmail. oh no no no. i couldn't handle it. so i have already purchased a new (used) blackberry and paid for overnight shipping, and hopefully it will be here tomorrow because once you go black you never go back!!!
5. job fair at school and i went wednesday. the highlight of the day was the fact that my new "professional" shoes with (what i thought were) bearable heels ended up severely injuring my big toes. by the end of about an hour of walking around, i limped out of the fair and sat down and changed into normal shoes and found that my toes were discolored! purple reddish. what?! how do women run around in stilettos?! are they insane? no way that shit is comfortable. i've decided no more heels ever. platforms are fine, and flats are the best. as for the job car itself, it kind of bummed me out but there were a couple of recruiters who seemed to like me... mostly after seeing my resume...
6...which i posted on monster.com yesterday, and received to offers today. they're both kind of crappy, but it gives me hope that even if i don't find my dream job right away, i'll find someone willing to hire me.
7. last thing, and it's hockey related, which is why it's last because i know nobody on earth cares: kimmo timonen has a blood clot in his foot and won't be available for the conference finals!!! NOOOOOO!!!! the flyers straight up just lost their best defenseman and i want to cry. look, i didn't even think they'd beat montreal, but they did, and that gave me a lot of hope. they were looking good. but they take too many penalties to be without their best d-man. it's already highly unlikely that they'll beat the penguins, they really don't need this handicap. :( it's looking like the finals are gonna be detroit and pittsburgh. i just REALLY don't want the penguins to win the cup. ANYBODY BUT THE PENGUINS!!! can you IMAGINE the press on that if they were to win and stupid sidney fucking crosby gets to hoist the cup!?!?!?!!? we'll never ever ever EVER hear the end of it. and he hasn't even been their best player yet, so imagine when that kicks in. like when he wins in overtime. oh dear god. i'm praying for a miracle and for the flyers to win. besides, how sick would a flyers-redwings matchup be?! only my dream finals!!! those were the two teams that got me into hockey in the first place. ok, enough.
now that it's 5:30 i'm going to stop typing and try the bed thing once again. night.
