My Actual Schedule:
- Noon: Wake up.
- 1 PM: Go to Target to buy a wedding present for a friend/ the new Harry Potter DVD. Spend half an hour deciding between regular, $15 edition or $27 special edition. Decide on latter.
- 2 PM: Lunch, watch Harry Potter, try to make the history papers that I wrote for Dr. Archer’s class at Oxford somehow fit the research I’m doing for paper on crappy play I still haven’t read.
- 5 PM: Find out that Harry Potter DVD automatically repeats after it finishes the first time. Start watching HP again. Still half-assedly attempting to come up with 5 useful pages of historical research for crappy paper on crappy play.
- 6:30 PM: Leave for Lit Crit final.
- 7:15 PM: Start taking most ridiculous/easiest final for the class that has been the bane of my existence for the past 4 months.
- 8:30 PM: Go to Magen’s house for celebratory champagne. Not really sure what we’re celebrating because I still have a paper due friday and haven’t read the play that I’m writing about.
- 11 PM: Go home to read play. Give Taylor my Harry Potter DVDs (All of them) so that I can get work done.
- Midnight: Decide that I want hot chocolate. Go to Harris Teeter. Come home with cheap champagne and mango orange juice instead.
- 1 AM: Talk to my roommate who I haven’t seen in almost two weeks.
- 2 AM: Start reading play? Or go to sleep…

Play
“all the while, a remix of the Imogen Heap song is playing, because if Hollywood is out of ideas, then Josh Schwartz is apparently double dog out of ideas.”

Gossip Girl S03E11: Really? A Thanksgiving Special? - Videogum
No but seriously. As I’m just watching The OC now, it’s particularly obvious. I frequently confuse Marissa and Serena, Kirsten and Lily in my head. But for fuck’s sake, using a remix of that same Imogen Heap song? I knew that song played a big role on The OC long before I ever even thought I’d get to the end of season 2. It’s indicative not only of a lack of ideas, but what Gossip Girl is to The OC at this point anyway: a slight variation on the same foundation. Both are on shittiness spirals throughout season 3, though I doubt Gossip Girl’s season finale the atrocity that was Ryan carrying a dying Marissa away from a flaming car.(via andgoodbye)
I lol’d when that song came on. (via budsey)
I never really thought of nhw true that is… Blair is definitely Summer, but Dan is kind of a Ryan/Seth combo minus the funny. I wonder if that means that Chuck and Blair will eventually break up and Dan and Blair will get together? Also, the whole Ryan carrying Marissa from the flaming car thing will apparenlty occur next Monday when Serena and Trey get in an accident while running away together—except that Serena won’t die because Josh Schwartz learned that when you kill the psychotic blonde drug addict with loose morals, your ratings drop drastically.
Winter break plans:
- finish the novel I’m currently reading; maybe start another one
- watch, like, eight documentaries
- I guess that’s pretty much itSee Katie when she comes to Athens!
And also see Amelia when she comes to Athens!
Oh fuck yes! When is that going to be?
Whenever you want it to be! Preferably at the same time so that Katie can also see Amelia when she comes to Athens.
Well, I’ll be in Georgia from around December 21 until about January 7… so anytime within those couple weeks will work for me.
I’ll be in Atlanta for New Year’s so maybe some time around then?
