Today I dropped by the senior class at the Center for Cartoon Studies and listed to Thomas Summerall's presentation on SiteGrinder. ( http://www.medialab.com/sitegrinder/ ) Using their program, you can...costume, lab workshop, trick or treatin' Saturday - finish OTHER costume, SiteGrinder, Gory Daze in Vermont (I'm a monster in the petting zoo!) Sunday - illo, make dinner for El Dia de Los Muerto
After a somewhat less-than-stellar first couple of midterms, such as a 60.5% in stats (:p yay not knowing what I'm doing!), I puh-zoned the ECE223 midterm, receiving a wondrous 105.7%!!! (I've also now caused my prof to know who I am.. I walked in to pick it up, and he said "Rachel, right? I always remember the ones who leave early.") I got a gold star!! :DDD (for reals)
...America.
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role modelat home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans... See the awesomeness? ...I mean, JEEZ...
Happy Hallow’s Eve, Heroes! That’s how pompous arts kids like me say Happy Halloween, for those of you not versed in pomp.

H FOR HERO - PROTECTING YOU FROM THE MONSTER MENACE FOR OVER 15% OF THE YEAR!
I wrote that paper in two and a half hours. That is RECORD TIME. Holy crap . Maybe it's because I'm so tired from not getting to sleep until about four last night that I was just typing stuff, which...the behemoth that is "The Hour of the Wolf" remains to be seen, since that'd be another 12,000 words or so, and I'm just about to lead in to the climax... Nod and smile, kids. Nod and smile. :D
I was one of less than 12 students selected for a summer study at Oxford University at my college--and Marmie said we could do it financially and she was proud of my opportunity! TL;DR: I'M GOING TO ENGLANDTHIS SUMMER!
I'm sitting in a room, Made up of only big whitewalls and in the halls There's people looking through The window in the door, they know exactly what we're here for. Don't look up Just let them think...one here, losers! I have gay plotlines to keep up with!! I mean, you are really going to make the adorable love of your life pull all the weight here? I am so awesome, people give me free water!!
GAH! BEST DAY EVER! I went to Chapter Arts Centre to take a peek at the venue where I'll be holding my book launch. Got talking to the lady who runs their gift shop and ended up selling the shop 20 copies...hippie-looking friend, who turned out to be composers who had just finished scoring a new film starring McKenzie Crook. And now these guys are possibly coming to my launch, which is awesome. WIN
