Hello peeps!
I should be going to bed right now but I made the mistake of having milk with coffee syrup in it. I'm seriously addicted. I've been burning through 4L jugs of milk within two days. But Mom doesn't want to discourage me so she just happily buys more. It's a sweet set-up I have here.
So, school has officially started. I somehow managed to have it so that my Stats classes fall on MWF and Econ classes are TR. And I'm done at 1:30 on MWF, so no complaints there.
I'm a little nervous about Stats just because it's been a little while since I've taken a Stats class and the prof seems scatter brained (I have her for both classes). However, she does stick close to the textbook.
There's also a guy in both Stats classes and one of my Econ classes that seems to want to buddy up with me for assignments and stuff, which is fine. Except he doesn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed but he is nice enough so whatever. He asked me if I wanted to go see Avatar with him sometime. It might be paranoia but I hope he's not getting the wrong idea. We'll see, I guess.
I also had my first Stats Lab today. The assignment she gave seems easy but it's just learning the programming software that's a pain in the ass. I has this problem last semester where I had to try and figure out all the specialty functions in Excel which took hours, even though I could do the question by hand in 5 minutes. So friggin annoying. But the lab instructor seems impossibly nice. Which is rare since pretty much every other lab instructor I've had has been condescending and talked ot me like I was a moron. I'm looking at you Chem 103.
I LOVE my Econ classes. I might be biased, but the profs in this department are absolutely fantastic (except for a few exceptions). One of them swears like a goddamn sailor. He's from Newfoundland though, so it's understandable. I've had one of my other profs before and she's awesome and the other one is just so damn nice. Squee!
So, I did something to fuck up my feet. I've been having problems with them for about a week now. The bottom of my left foot is absolutely killing me. It gets worse the longer I'm on it, which is not going well with University life (especially when I have to walk to friggin Luther College). Also, the top of the right foot is sore as well and whenever I flex my foot, you can feel something vibrating in it. You can actually feel it though the foot too, which is kind of cool in a freaky way.
But anyway, it was so bad the other day that it took me half an hour to walk home (which is usually a 5 minute walk). I've been kind of hemming and hawing about going to doctor to have them checked out. I'm one of those people who will only go to a doctor if I feel like I'm dying or I'm forced to go. Mom forced me go a couple months ago when I sprained my ankle. It had looked like someone shoved a golf ball under my skin so I guess it was justified, but we waited for 45 minutes for someone to tell us "Put ice on it." Plus, I always feel like I would be wasting their time over something stupidly trivial and would rather just nurse myself back to health.
Anyway, Mom thinks it might be the footwear. I had to throw away my winter boots (the material had worn away to the plastic which was cutting up my heels) so I've been wearing my skater shoes, which aren't the greatest for snow walking. Moms taking me out tomorrow for new boots so hopefully they help.
I'll give them till Monday. Then I'll see a doctor if there's no change.
So, is anyone watching the late night war going on? It's absolutely PHENOMENAL. It's just been a train wreck. I literally taped all the late night shows for the past week and it's been getting worse and worse every night. Tuesday night was one of the best nights of late night I've ever seen on TV.
-Leno had suddenly shut up about the whole thing, even though he made horribly douchy comments the night before about Letterman ("Well, at least I didn't sleep with my staff." Shut the fuck up, Jay).
-Conan came out with guns ablazing. He just does not give a fuck anymore and he's seriously at his best when that happens. I think everything he did that night ended with NBC being the punchline.
-Letterman is enjoying the HELL out of the whole thing. It's like deja vu for him and I think he's been getting about 17 years worth of anger off his chest for the past week because now he can actually attack Leno and NBC and won't get backlash for it. The other night, he ranted for like 10 minutes about it and they couldn't do a bit they had planned because they didn't have time. LOL
-Craig Ferguson pretty much just ranted about it too. There was one instance where he was talking about Simon Cowell for a minute, then all the sudden he went right back to ranting about NBC with a spectacular ending of calling them "lying rat bastards" and went back to talking about Cowell again. Amazing.
-Then Jimmy Kimmel. Fucking hell, he did his ENTIRE show impersonating Leno including his band leader doing a MASTERFUL Kevin Eubanks. They had everything...him explaining the jokes, that horrible guitar riff, Headlines, head wiggle....it was beautiful. Biggest surprise of the evening.
See that particular night HERE!
Tonight was amazing too. Jimmy Kimmel pretty much bitch-slapped Jay on his own show, after Jay was being a dick in his monologue. Karma's a bitch.
Clicky!
This whole thing is one big clusterfuck.
Seriously, I love late night TV so I could go on about this for days. But I can not understand what NBC is hoping to accomplish here. The backlash against them is tremendous and rather than them sucking up their pride and getting rid of the real problem, they choose to fuck with a 60 year old beloved franchise and one of their most popular hosts. I sincerely hope Conan gets the hell out of there before the entire network implodes on itself. And someone needs to shoot Jay Leno. Honestly.
I do love the fact that EVERYONE is sticking up for Conan. Even his rivals. And all are not afraid of slamming Leno. LOVE IT!
I think they're already filming the movie. XD
I finally got to see the new Sherlock Holmes film. It was really good. It's not one of those movies where the audience can figure it with the hero, which I kind of liked. It is strange though, but that's Sherlock Holmes for ya. And Jude Law is so fucking hot. Holy mother.
Oh, when Tristan and I saw it, there was no one there (it was a Thursday night) so we decided to splurge and get popcorn and a couple drinks. It was $18.50! The movie itself cost $18.00. What the fuck?
So, I went to the mall last week to spend my gift certificates. I ended up buying $300 worth of clothes. I don't know how that happened but it was a nice treat. However, am I the only one who's afraid to wear new clothes because I don't want to mess them up? It's weird. One of these days I'll get the courage to wear them. :P
Anyway, I'm off to bed. Have a good weekend, y'all!
PS - Ryan, you must keep the blogging up! :D

Ok fine, maybe tomorrow.
And I don't even want to wrap my head around the late night battle, it hurts enough as it is. But, for the ninth time, I would hug that giant sad lesbian.
