Useless powers

Watching a movie where Nick Cage can see 2 minutes into the future. I feel cynical but isn't that a mostly useless super power? I mean I guess it could be helpful but seems a bit silly to me

Uncultured lout

:::

Last night G and I went out with my friends from school. A dinner/movie celebration of being done school. We went to the 630 showing of Black Swan-not my choice. Throughout the whole movie G and I kept making fake barf faces at each other during the gross parts(yes we are mature like that) and pretty much just waited for it to end. I hated it. I would have rather saved the $12.50 each and sat home watching something, no anything else. It wasn't scary, but it was gross in parts and just too much wtfness for one movie. When it ended we began to discuss and it seems only G and I hated it. The other three thought it was the best movie they had seen in ages blah blah blah. I felt like maybe I was missing something, that perhaps I passed out for some monumental moment in the movie. I predicted the end due to my movie/TV psychic abilities, but it wasn't just that. Definitely something was missing for me. SO glad it was missing for G too as we chatted about it the whole way home. I read some reviews this morning and it would seem that everyone loved it. And I'm left feeling that perhaps I am not as arty as I think I am. Would much rather have seen Tangled and then met the group at dinner! Next up for G and I is the fighter and love and other drugs-bet you can't guess who is picking which movie!

Crap

:::
I had a few beers tonight and ended up in a candid conversation about my mother in law (to be) with my brother in law (to be). Not totally sure how that started but I am pretty confident it will not end in an "hilarity will ensue" type of situation. He clearly didn't understand what I meant nor does he really get it because he lives about 25 hours away so he isn't privy to the situation. However when does a girl learn to keep her flipping mouth shut? Cause clearly 30 isn't the age. Nor is 3+ years of experience in this family.....nuclear fall out in T minus........keep you posted

Oooh the lethargy

It has struck with a vengance. I still have to assemble all my research from my final project but instead I spent last night drinking cheap champagne from when we got engaged. What? We ran out of beer!..... I feel that my love of booze comes across quite well in that sentence no?
We had our friend Derek over and the boys made me watch 2012. I hate HATE apocalyptic themed movies. Mostly because in movies like that I get all antsy concerned that Toronto is going to slide into Lake Ontario. I do not want to go to a watery grave-ever preferably, but at least not until I've done a few more things with my life.
So the G and Derek spent the whole movie teasing me about being a mega nerd and a super baby. I also detest scary movies so perhaps they are partially right. I've never been able to watch scary movies. I know several friends who LOVE the feeling of being scared. Me? Not so much. I spent the whole time I was at a haunted house this past Halloween buried in my friends chest freaking out a la Marge Simpson "get me out, get me out get me OUT!"
Is it so wrong that I would have rather spend the night watching something funny? Or cheesy? Granted 2012 was kind of Armageddon-ish, not so terrifying, but I get too emphatic and think about all those poor people who died.
Nerd.

Aaaand Done

::::

The day I have been anxiously dreading for ages has come and gone! I somehow managed to get my project finished and presented and now that looming cloud of a project is over!
It feels so good to know its over and to know that it was well received. G came today to watch the presentations which made me a bit nervous but at the same time it was so nice to have my own personal cheering section.
2 more small projects and my thesis binder are what I have left and then I am free as a bird!
This weekend G and I are taking my mum to see The Good Lovelies as her Christmas present and I really feel that that will start the holiday count down for me.
Finishing school sure puts me in the Christmas mood!

Its the final countdown

:::

At 1130 I will be presenting my final thesis project. Last night I practiced what I was going to say to G, which almost made me more nervous hahaha. I'm up writing out what I want to say and hoping that I can get out all the important facts before I pass out from fright. I have never been a fan of presenting or general chatting in public. Not sure why, but when I signed up for design school I didn't realize that it would revolve around presenting. Duh.
I know that in a few short hours it will be over and I will look back at myself this morning and think I wasted too much energy on worrying. However that is how I operate.
Am off to practice again. Wish me luck

Scammed

:::

Bought a mixer pack of delicious teas at Winners. Thought it would be a nice treat for the 16 hour days at school this week-they all taste suspiciously of Chai. Boo

To do in January....

:::

Am inspired thanks to my good friend Bee vs 30 to start making some more lists:
Forever things have been put off "until January when I am done school"... so perhaps I should make a list of what must be done..

1. Clean the apartment--my side of the bed is carpeted in clothes, both dirty and clean. It will almost be like getting new clothes as I am embarrassed to admit some of them have been there for a few weeks.
2. Make an appointment with a naturopath to finally figure out what it is I am allergic to so I don't feel sick every time I eat
3. Organize my school stuff--I can actually throw out and recycle a pile of stuff now--no longer shall our headboard be piles of foamcore stacked behind the bed.
4. Make a plan to start exercising--this might actually be the most difficult part of January. I am a somewhat lethargic person by nature but am really wanting to get back into shape...a non blobby shape
5. Start planning my wedding (*head explodes with glee)
6. Get on the Til Debt Do Us Part budget sheet and get G and I on a SAVING PLAN (and a debt repayment one as my student loan starts getting repaid in June barf)
7. Make plans and see the friends I have been neglecting for the last 2 + years
8. Take a class and learn how to make my camera work on the manual setting--I have been using the automatic setting for about 5 years now and its really time to figure this out
****I know that I have about 150 other things I have been saying "Oh I will do in January" so beware the list may grow*****

Short term memory loss

:::

On mornings where I'm tired or perhaps day dreaming in the shower I literally cannot remember if I have already rinsed my hair..... And some times if I put conditioner in it yet or not. So I wonder if I have a memory issue..... Because really how can one forget that in literally 2 minutes!
Also-the countdown for final presentation is T minus 5 days.....I'm giving up on wearing real pants until then its leggings and lulus all the way

Aww mornings

:::

Lately G and I have developed a bit of a routine on the mornings he has to get up before me. He gets out of bed to shower and I roll over to his recently vacated spot. (I'm not too sure how we picked spots when we first started sharing a bed, but I think I must have compromised as I love his side of the bed!) Then as he is leaving I call out a reminder of all the things he needs to remember to take with him. There have been several occasions where he comes flying back in for keys to the garage, his phone wallet etc, so I am trying to save one step in the process. And I feel guilty but I love that I can snooze a bit longer while he has already started his day. I feel like I should be getting up and making us breakfast or coffee but it doesn't happen just yet. Come January we will be leaving the house at the same time in the mornings and I will miss my stolen moments on his side of the bed knowing he has to go brave the cold before me.
