"Let's fight crime with mangoes and limes..."

Something I would like to invent in my next life [actually, I'd rather someone just do it for me] is a dryer that instantly dries clothes...or does it in like 20 minutes. I'm cleaning my room for the first time in seriously 3 weeks and doing laundry and it's taking fooooooooooorever. But it is nice that I can finally see my floor again. The shitstorm was getting out of hand. And of course, cleaning my room is always better than doing homework. I love the group on Facebook called " Nothing Gets My Room Cleaner Than A Paper Due Tomorrow"...it's funny because it's true. I'm so happy that it's finally "flannel sheets weather", although I'm not real happy about the snow I saw today.

Just a little refresher because it's been forever since I sat around and did this as a form of procrastination:
-- Overall, NYC was amazing. I loved hanging out with Brian and seeing his life. I was originally planning on going back to visit around Christmas time, but I think I'm going to hold off until February. We've got a long weekend in there somewhere for Presidents Day I think, so that would be ideal.
-- School is still making me want to shoot myself, but only like 4 weeks left! Actually, I'm dealing a little bit better...but I wish I wasn't taking e-marketing or digital imaging 2. Both are a giant waste of time and I wish I could focus more on my classes that matter but oh well. I'm fairly certain next semester is going to be a bitch. 4 studio classes = death. BUT! They're the final 4 classes until graaaaaaaaaaaaduation! Yikes. I'm really excited but a little scared.

-- MH pretty much gave me a job offer....they wanted to offer me a job because they were hoping I was graduating in December, but Shelley said the offer will still stand in May, so thats always nice. Speaking of MH, I spent my summer moving on up! I started in a small cube on intern row. Then, about halfway through, I was moved into the Marketing department, and now, Shelley and I share an OFFICE!! There were plenty of extra cubes I could have been thrown into, but she wanted me in there. I like the feeling of being needed -- like, knowing that if i don't go into work when they're expecting me, means that I'll be screwing people over. Weird and twisted, but that's me I guess. Although, now that it's kind of a slow time, we spend a lot of time screwing around and being silly, but it's fun that way. I really can't complain at all. I'm really looking forward to the holiday party, which by the way, is being held at The House of Blues in Cleveland. Uppity!

-- I am currently incredibly obsessed with The Office. I can't get enough. We DVR the episodes and I watch them a million times. I catch something new and funny every time. And maybe I find things funnier because I work in an office...and I wish things were really like that. I need one of these REEEEEAL bad:

-- Also, if you're looking to pirate some music, I HIGHLY recommend listening to music scores...ya know, the instrumental stuff in movies. It's awesome. John Williams, Hans Zimmer and James Horner are pretty much my heroes. Maybe I'm a little cheesy, but I don't care. Here are some suggestions:


I guess that's it for now. I'm sure the load of clothes has got to be dry by now. And I found this to be simply amazing...
