So Much for Wireless. Thanks IC.

Let me make this clear. I'm not thrilled with the internet here. I never am. So when I heard we were supposed to get the hookup with campus-wide wireless, I was psyched. I was even more excited when the tech guys came into our apartment and tried to hook us up.

I was not so excited when the wireless didn't work. And I'm not about to pay for fast internet when there's the possibility of wireless actually working this year on campus.

Oy.

Project Runway and Scrabble

So after going to the doctor yesterday morning and picking up some vitamins for school (you would never believe how expensive they are, who knew?), the family and I hit Hibachi for some yummy dinner and then I headed over to Laura's for the Project Runway premiere.

Much to her delight (and my disappointment, I was gunning for Korto), Danny V won the All Star challenge, and the night was set for a Tim Gunn overhaul. The premiere was fun, and I did like the winner (hated the guest judge, though, Lindsay Lohan has a powerful strain of bitch face), but really, the highlight of the night was Scrabble.

That's right. Scrabble with Brandon, Laura, and Rachel until about 2 AM. It got to the point where Rachel and I just had shit vowels. I got second place, but more importantly, I didn't quit halfway through like I usually do with Scrabble. I get fed up with the game pretty quick, oddly enough.

I Gotta Feeling That This Kid Will Be A Star

I've been the girl who takes weird pictures on the Apple Store Photobooth before. Really, who doesn't? But this kid was in the Manhattan Apple Store and decided to videotape himself lipsynching to the Black Eyed Peas "I Gotta Feeling" and then put it on YouTube.
Which...it's just kind of funny and cute.

Three Reasons Why I Miss My High School

If you follow me on Twitter (which you should), you may have heard me mention that I couldn't find my quote pages from high school. Essentially, they were mini-webpages that I made through Tripod to keep all my quotes I gathered in my notebook(s) through sophomore, junior, and senior years.

And I thought I lost them forever. Until I downloaded the latest Internet Explorer and lo and behold, found that I had favorited the sites on my home PC. I had no such luck with the Mac.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but FAIL little laptop! I almost Cash for Clunker'd the desktop and BAM! it finds something useful!

So here they are. Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years of high school. Because I'm feeling nostalgic, and I know that they're probably far more entertaining than anything I'll say on this blog. So enjoy my friends from years past and find out why I love them so much/took so many pictures of them.

Snakes On A Cane

Usually, viral marketing works best for stupid movies and such. More like cult subjects. But when I was flipping channels last night and landed on FOX, this website popped up called "Snakes on a Cane."

Turns out it's just a website with a countdown to the premiere of House. Which...

...good job, marketing. Viral might be the way to go.

And You Thought I Was Bad

Two brothers. Five minutes. One hundred movies spoiled.

I must meet these men.

Hey Ithacappella: Here's An Idea!

Of all the songs I would like them to sing, it would be this one that the Friars wrote. Because it's true. And it's funny because it's true.

I Hate My Bookmarks

So for the last 3 weeks when I go to bookmark stuff, this same link and picture comes up.

Not that it's not funny, but really, when I want to favorite something, I want it to stick. Like the House ads, or the Joe Biden bobblehead that I found for far too much money (but seriously, I want one. Belated birthday gift, people?).
