In lieu of an emo post.

Three posts in 24 hours! You shouldn’t be so lucky.
Last night I saw wolf parade at skirball. This was my 2nd NYU program board show. Things like the NYU program bored make sense at other schools in remote locations where there needs to be something for kids to do aside from chug beer. But NYU is kinda sorta in the middle of a giant city. Where there is lotsa culture. Whatever. Tickets are $6 so I’m not complaining. As with my other Program board show, Decemberists, Wolf Parade seemed mildly resentful to be playing for rich college students. Colin (of the Decemberists (who attended UM!!!)) kept making snide comments about how nice our facilities are. And wolf parade probably hadn’t seen so many preps since, well, they were in college. Whatever dude, you’re playing for NYU.
Today on my lunch break I sat in the park and ate a masala dosa (YAY Dosa man) and watched a film shoot. I don’t know why I still find them fascinating. But all those people getting paid to stand around and do nothing warms my heart. Halfway through, an extra came over and sat next to me and called his girlfriend I think. He kept talking about his boy Fifty and how awesome it was to work on his movie, acting like he new him. Now I don’t mean to discriminate, but this lad was a very skinny, very emo, very white skater boy. Maybe he was in costume. But I doubt it.
And now to that other thing.
I didn’t get into the South Africa program. Instead of describing how I feel I will say this: if you know me at all, you know how I feel.
Over and out.
Or should I say: Good night, and Good luck.

I like how this thing has become links

The scariest fucking thing I have ever seen.
be sure to check out the "advice to mothers" section.

Two Sonnets on Bird Flu

I.
Today is so beautifully colds and clear
That it is hard to believe that there’ rain
Coming soon. Weather sweet turns oft severe,
But CDC told you warnings much in vain.
Innocence is a sugary sweet soft blind
Enfolding aching heads. You tempt the fates
For you think, “Well, I won’t be left behind.”
But illness creeps, slyly sneaks under gates,
Devours young children, old folks, even you.
“I don’t believe!” Stopped not think Hitchcock’s fowl.
And “War on birds” won’t stop the stealthy flu.
American’s dying fast, you’ve run afoul.
T’is too late vaccine fully to produce,
We’re sick ‘cause our dumb leader is too obtuse.

II.
“Cough, cough, hack, hack,” go the cute little birds.
“Slash, cut, please, die,” sing the sad butchery blades.
To starving people poor, it seems absurd,
To seize up the livestock in government raids.
“It must be contained, we’ll go to the mat!”
But easier said than done. The virus creeps,
Now jumps from man to beast to bird to cat.
It sticks in our throat, it kills while we sleep.
It’s global pandemic, everyone’s ill.
The end of the world, brought on by a crow.
But government men never starved on the Hill,
We reap what we sow: a weak W.H.O.
Is flu worse than dread hunger? No one can tell.
Perhaps we’ll find out when we all meet in hell.

Ahhh, I'm such a feminist.

Goddamn it MotherFUCKER

You know what I find interesting? In the movie pulp fiction everyone thinks that Sam L. Jackson's wallet says "Badass motherfucker" on it. Well I was watching it again and I realized that it only says "bad mother fucker." How people got the "ass" is beyond me. Maybe its because baaaaaaa-Bum-Bum has a really weird ring to it and Ba-BUM-ba-BUM just sounds so right. I don't know. These are the things I think about instead of doing conwest homework.
Also, I blog.
SPEAKING OF MOTHERFUCKING:
I have a C+ is ConWest. God (mother)Fucking Damnit. That class makes me so cranky. Well, life makes me cranky but ConWest makes my life more difficult than it needs to be. These semesters full of requirements are NOT okay. I need a random and fun class. I'm sorta going crazy.
On the plus side my dad is coming into town on saturday and I plan on ignoring the world and homework until halloween.

Tum ta tum tum TUMS

From the missoulian:
BONNER - A red pickup truck rolled into the Bonner check station carrying four grinning men and the station's first elk on the opening day of Montana's general big-game hunting season.

I kinda love Montana.
...

In other news I have spent all day today convinced that I am dying of appendicitis. In the process I ate about a half a bottle of tums which seemed to make the pain go away so I don't think it was my appendix. But wouldn't it be dramatic if it was? (I'm a dramatic hypochondriac)

I also put down on a test today that the most important part of tragedy is "character." Serves me right for looking off Jarks paper. The funny thing is, before I got all confused and read the poetics twice I would have put "plot" down with out thinking. Sometimes I think I learn too much
....
Evidence that larke has spent too much time in the DDW:
Chelsea (roomie) pulls out a horribly misshapen hanger from our closet.
Chelsea: I don't know what I did to destroy this hanger.
Me: Had an abortion.
I then cackled for the next five minuets before I realized that I'm not funny, I'm just a bad person.

I'm writing a sonnet about bird flu.
I think I've lost my mind.

Yes I did look this up, you wanna make something of it?

its like chasing amy all over again

So you would think it would be terrebly exciting for there to be a new t.a.t.u. video out there right? More insanely complex cords? More brilliant vocalizations? More underage lesbian action?
NO!
SHES HAVING SEX WITH A MAN! WHAT?
Im so sad
Though I do appricate that it shows the dangers of consorting with men. As we knew all along MEN ARE EVIL.

A day in the life (well, three to be exact)

Study Abroad Application has been handed IN. Now I just need to appear sane in my interview. Check back for updates.
This is one of those weeks that makes life worth living. Absolutely decadent goodness. As I said to Plante Thursday night “I love our life, people should be jealous of us.” At least, that is what I think I said. It was something along those lines, anyway. You could ask Plante but I don’t know if he has a clearer recollection of it.
It has been a week of living beyond my means, which means that next week will be a bit hungry. But hell, it was worth it. It does make me envy Paris Hilton because she gets to be shit faced and well dressed ALL. THE. TIME. But whatever. I love my life, remember. And besides, thats just day to day exsitence for her so I guess its as quotidian for her as going to class is for me. (speaking of going to class, guess who didnt?)
It all started off Wensday with the Decemberists. Purrrr. A fantastic show with some of my favorite girls and lots of AmericasNextTopModel gossip (CASSANDRA CHOSE TO GO HOME!!!). They, the decemberists, put on a great performance and I have such a crush on the fiddlist. Just all around good happy times. Followed by midnight burgers with a certan crazy Emily.


Thursday was the starving artists ball, and guess who was the belle? Or at least the floozy? That would be me. Dancing, hitting on random people, free booze. What more could you ask for from a night. Oh yeah, and it was a BALL. I dont have that many pictures becaus (a) my memory card is hidiously small and (b) I accedentally set it to a psycho high resolution.





















It's nice to know that even after you win a tony and a Pulitzer no one will
listen to you. John Patrick Shanley talks and everyone ignores him.

















Stephie is too sexy.















Callan is too pretty.











The following are not my pictures.




































BEST PICTURE EVER.
Friday, I braved the terrorist targeted subway system to travel to the baren wasteland above 14th street to see my dear sweet beloved Sufjan. With my new best show buddy Emily. In a sit down venue. Ahhhhh. I do sorta hate standing for shows. And how was the show larke? Did you have fun?
OH. JESUS. CHRIST.
lets just say that I would throw it all in to cook for sufjan and raise his children. Absolutly fantastic. And he added strings to his already amazing songs.
String parts that he wrote in a week. A WEEK.
Sprinkled through all these events is Lost which is thorughly enthralling. Though after the pilot it has been decidedly less terrifying. Someone needs to die a gruesome death soon or I am going to get bored. I have gotten chelsea addicted as well and so we stay up until two in the morning watching it instead of being brilliant.
EDIT: WTF!!!! WHAT IS UP WITH THE FRENCH WOMAN? OMG!!!

NO!


August Wilson RIP. You will be sorely missed.

Dubya Tee Eff

This is the spray bottle I use to mist MeiMei:

The picture isn't as clear as I would like but I just noticed that is says: "This spray bottle was proudly assembled by mentally and physically challenged people in Michigan."
ummmmmmmmmmmmm
I don't know what this means but I know it makes me feel dirty. And not in a sexy way.
