Funnily enough there's no hangover

For those who were wondering: tequila, chili con queso, and bacardi - not good bedfellows.

If I had removed just one of those I probably would have been fine. Instead, here I sit, still mildly queesy with one contact stuck to my eye.

Links aplenty

Half way through compulsively filling out another of those addicting yet utterly pointless surveys which Hydrass had tagged me to do, I realized I'd already done it. And another 15 minutes of my life is wasted. And he will pay. So. I thought to implement another mindless survey, thereby wasting even more time. But I need something to take my mind off Michelle Kwan. We all do.

Ten movies that everyone should see at least once
It's a Wonderful Life; Monty Python and the Holy Grail; Moulin Rouge; Mary Popppins; Fight Club; Jaws; The Red Shoes; Amelie; Closer

Nine random things about me
I hate my nose; I love Jews; I'm becoming more and more of a feminist; I OBSESS about the Olympics; I wear my mother's wedding rings; I own a Little Mermaid pillow that is 16 years old - and I still sleep with it (she is known as dirty Ariel); I could eat 4 Big Macs in one sitting - easily; I eat ranch dressing on everything; I don't know what I'm going to do with my life when the final Harry Potter is published

Eight books everyone should read
The Time Traveler's Wife; Harry Potter (of course); House of Leaves; The Catcher in the Rye; To Kill a Mockingbird; The Caucasian Chalk Circle; Lolita; Waiting for Godot

Seven things I want to do before I die
have sex fully clothed in an airplane bathroom; write a novel; cut off all my hair; get stung by a bee; play Ariel again in The Tempest; and I haven't thought far enough ahead to think of any more

Six things I want to do right now
talk to someone; see someone; watch Michelle Kwan win a gold medal; get the set painting finished for The Night of the Iguana; conquer Uzbekistan (always been a dream of mine); write my advance play analysis paper early, before the onset of my theatre history II paper


Five of my favorite items in my room
Harry Potter standee; dirty Ariel; my lightsabre; computer; Moira

Four ways to annoy me
be late; stereotype me because of my chosen field of study; condescend to me; be lazy

Three things I'm afraid of
committment in a relationship; failure; not having a life in the theatre

Two things you'd never admit to anyone
lame

A day of sadness

This shall forever be known as a day of sadness in the world of figure skating, and my life:

Michelle Kwan pulled out of the Olympics, citing the return of her groin injury. I am a wreck. She was my girl, my golden girl. And I knew she wouldn't get the gold, I knew it would be a stretch for her to even medal this time. But man, for the past 3 Olympics the underdog has gotten this medal, (two of those times beating Kwan) and this time she would have been the underdog. Man. Sarah Hughes's little sister Emily is flying in to be Kwan's replacement, and all I have to say is that if Emily pulls a Big-Sis and takes the gold, there will be hell to pay. We're talking personal vendeta against that family. And Irina Slutskaya better watch her back, too.

Come on, Sasha Cohen.

On an only mildly related note, the American pair landed the first throw triple axel last night. They won't medal, but it's still a nice thought.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love the Olympics?
