fall break...only not so much...

***note, comCRAP is acting up again so the internet is slow...so this will be one of those (few) text only entries. i'll make it up with more elaborate posts later this week.

well its getting late and i need to get up for work tomorrow morning...yes work. it's fall break for everyone taking classes at UM, but since i am just doing research, the work must continue. out of protest to this i'm going out with damon and some of his friends who are visiting for a conference to breakfast tomorrow at northside grill (my favorite place in A2 for breakfast). after that, it will be back to the dungeon or maybe the social computer lab (although with no students it may as well be the same thing).

i'm pretty tired, so the recaps of weekend events, etc etc will have to wait until tomorrow. i will leave you with a few random comments though:

-i came home from working on preserved fishes ID at the U this evening to find out that damon fed some of my fishes (unauthorized)...only he fed one of the tanks the wrong food and this managed to cause the ENTIRE APARTMENT to STINK. now, i learned of these problems a long time back and have since not fed the fishes this sort of food. this is also why when i am in town no one feeds the fishes besides me. damon made this mistake once when i was gone to Florida for a fishing trip and i came back to a similarly sickening smell due to the same fish-feeding fiasco. ah well, i think he learned his lesson this time around, and things should hopefully be back to normal (aromatically speaking) by tomorrow. keep in mind this whole smell thing is particularly annoying to me since i'm pretty OCD about the cleanliness of our place, as is damon in most cases.

-apparently the two villains for spider-man 3 will be sandman and venom. these two have not been officially announced, but our favorite actress, kirsten dunst, let this slip in an interview and its more or less been accepted as the truth. i'm really looking forward to this since venom is my favorite spider-villain, and it will be very interesting to see how they do it since topher grace (that 70s show) is going to play him/eddie brock. thomas hayden church will be playing the sandman; church was the other guy in the movie sideways (starred opposite paul giamatti), this should also be quite entertaining.

-in other news elizabethtown was mediocre at best, but i thought KD did a decent job in her part. the movie also ended with a scene of some fish swimming upstream, so that was pretty cool too. my final rating was *** out of *****. unless you're a big fan of KD or orlando bloom (or like strangely melancholy movies) wait for video.

-i saw pumpkins today that were so huge one could fit inside them. seriously, they must have weighed at least 300 lbs and been the size of half a car. i also believe they were grown using hormones from a pig or something.

ok it's time for bed, more to come tomorrow. hope you all had a good weekend <:><

ewww.....stinky apartments are NO good. Count yourself lucky, though.....at least the stinkiness wasn't due to poopy diapers! I've lived with that reality for 2 years now. :)

yeah, luckily by morning everything was back to normal...rest assured damon won't be feeding the fishes (at least that particular stuff) anytime soon!

I hope KD is a joke. She sucks. Topher Grace on the other hand has a strange appeal to me. Are you a pisces? Just curious....
