It's taken me four hours to complete a rather simple Risk Assessment assignment. I officially had a shit day.

To wit-
1. I was late to clinical by a hour and a half. Was supposed to get there for 7AM. Woke up at 6:45. Yay.
2. Left my two assignments for clinical at home, and had to scramble to complete them while a fellow student was waiting for me to assist him with bathing a patient.
3. Did sump'tin to my left ("good") knee while rushing to clinical, because it's achy as a mofo.
4. Have a subcutaneous (read "unpoppable") pimple on my forehead right below my hairline roughly the size of Mt. Everest. You know, one of the types you can feel throbbing as you go about your day.
5. Keep thinking about things like "nutsicles", "nutsackulicious", "neuticles" (thanks [livejournal.com profile] faedrake, you're a real mensch , *smile*) and any bit of ridiculousness that can be riffed off of "nut sack" (yesterday I kept repeating "Grab life by the testicles!", so I suppose this can be seen as either progress or major regression).
6. Have to face an incredibly shrinking Krishna, and a family that can give two craps about whether or not she actually eats.
7. Fucking YANKEES are losing!!(!!!!111) Anaheim can suck these nuts(icles).

*sigh*

Weekend wasn't too horrible. Went to AC, lost all my money in a record one hour. Stayed in the hotel, took a jacuzzi bath for the first time (didn't really live up to the hype), got a great view of the beachfront, want to return if only for the view. Celebrated mom's b-day in a Brazilian bar-b-que joint that sucked you-know-what. What? people don't eat grilled animal flesh on Sunday nights, peoples?

I need help. And sexin'. Perhaps not in that order.
Maybe I just need help.

Anyway, everyone likes to click on things. Help a sista out here.

I've started on Eragon and wasn't too happy with it, but I'm not adverse to picking it up again. Same thing goes for Luck in the Shadows. The awkward exposition is proving to be a major roadblock to my getting beyond the first 15 pages. Game of Thrones would be a re-(re-re-)read in anticipation of the upcoming new book in the series. The rest I have in my possession but haven't even flipped through yet.

your icon made me squirt iced coffee on this here monitor.

yeah, you'd expect me to say easy riders. since it's at this point the definitive text on the 1970s "new hollywood", i used it as a reference for my practice thesis on hal ashby. however, biskind has some problems with koppy eduteng that his editor didn't clear up, and it was prevalent enough that it made me question the facts of the book. (this is even worse in down & dirty pictures, in case you were wondering.) my honey [livejournal.com profile] hauntedbookshop read jonathan strange and really liked it, so i pass that rec along to you.

oh, and as a brewers fan i have no sympathy for either of you. :-P

Hee! Brewers.
*ahem*

The quote, btw, is from Queer as Folk. The comedy is in the droll delivery. And the nuts.

Yes, I expected only one vote for Easy Rider and I did expect it to come from you. Color me surprised. He's sloppy with the writing, huh? That's reason enough to return the book to the library when it's due without renewing it.

I like the thick reading, but Strange is imposingly large. The library only had the hardcover and the thing is bordering on weapon status. But it still looks plenty interesting.

apparently strange moves rather quickly. it's in the "his dark materials" camp, in the sense that it's mega-huge but you end up reading it in one night.

ob-riders: when i told my film theory prof i wanted to use it as a reference for my fake thesis, he said "yeah, you're lucky. it's mostly factual with ashby." there's a good book to be written about that scene, but errb skews towards the beach-read end of things. not that i was expecting good scholarship, but cripes.

the brewers fandom is kind of a longstanding inside joke. essentially i hate sox fans and am not too fond of the yankees, and ended up choosing "my" team based on the mascot. and any team with a mascot that could be an extra in the saddest music in the world is a-ok by me.
