"I'm happy, hope you're happy, too..."

Yes, I'm on a David Bowie kick. But I truly am happy. Sort of.

I'm happy because Grandma's back at the hospital she was in before. I'm also happy that I got to see my sister, and that we had Indian food for dinner the night before last, and that we watch An Evening with Kevin Smith. Because he's awesome and Jason Mewes is gorgeous.

However, Grandpa was being an ass the day before last.

I've been thinking about getting a job. Only problem is, where? I'm thinking the Coles in the mall, or the Wal-Mart near my house. Maybe the Tim Horton's by my house, which is only about a ten to fifteen minute walk.

That, and I feel like making a musical instrument. Specifically, a drum. I think I got that idea from watching a 'visit Ireland' ad on TV, and in one of those ads there's a guy beating a small drum with a kind of double-ended stick. I'm probably making no sense right now :p

Also, I got to hear 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' by U2 in church this morning, which made it worth going to church. I think I'll sign up for one of the upcoming Music Sundays. I don't know what I'll sing, though. Or maybe I'll make a drum like the one in the 'visit Ireland' commercial and just beat the drum.

Maybe the idea of making a drum came from someone in church playing these drums this morning...

Anyways, the two DVDs, My Neighbor Totoro and the third InuYasha movie, are at the library for me to pick up on Tuesday. Sweet. I also have a book on the second World War to pick up, and French Girl Knits is in transit. Sweet :)

So yeah. I want to make a drum.

I should be doing schoolwork

...But instead I'm on Blogger. I'm really weirded out, still. And my eating habits aren't as Hobbit-like as before - I'm not eating as much. In fact, I don't think I ate anything for breakfast, but I had a glass of juice. And I don't think I woke up until 10-ish. I'm starting to feel hungry, though, which is a plus.

So, last night I reserved My Neighbor Totoro and the second InuYasha movie. The InuYasha movie is in transit now, and I probably won't have to wait too long for Totoro either.

In addition to my weird eating habits, I've been really tired, too. Some days I feel like going back to bed and not coming out until dinnertime. I don't know if I'm going to youth group tonight, because Mom and Dad might visit Grandma tonight. Part of me wants to go to youth group, because I'd be getting out of the house, but another part of me feels like staying home and watching movies.

That's all I've felt like doing lately - watching movies. That, and reading, writing and knitting. I haven't done math for two days straight, partly because of headaches.

I did go to the library yesterday, though. Luxury Yarn One-Skein Wonders is pretty good, although I'm not entirely sure what to knit from it. Maybe the 'Berry Jewellery Bag' thing. But that requires reading a lace chart. eep.

I should probably go eat now.

Oh great....

MY BIOLOGY PROGRAM IS NOT OPENING AGAIN. I HAD IT OPEN AND WORKING YESTERDAY, SO THIS IS REALLY PISSING ME OFF.

I'm gonna go eat now...

Headache, go away :(

I should be doing biology, but I don't feel like staring at the texts in the biology program right now. At least my headache is starting to fade, 'cause it was a real pain a few minutes ago.

Stress, stress, stress. Mainly to do with my grandmother's health, although I won't go into detail 'cause I don't think certain relatives want me plastering the details on the internet. But it's really tiring me and Mom out.

Because I needed a brainless knitting project, I started a plain stockinette scarf out of my off-white Lion Brand Fun Fur Solid. It looks really neat, like a piece of wolf fur. I was working on it while watching Princess Mononoke, so I named the project San, who is the 'wolf girl' in the movie. I love that movie...

So, I'm on an anime kick. Not just Princess Mononoke, but also InuYasha, which I've been watching on YouTube. I think I'm going to reserve some more Hayao Miyazaki films from the library, because I need something to keep my mind off Grandma, and something to do while Mom and Dad are visiting her. In a nutshell, Grandma is limited as to how many visitors she can have, and if I'm there, we'd be pushing our luck. And because I'm not sure how to work the VCR part of the VCR/DVD player with the new TV, I can't watch Tokyo Godfathers, which is on a VHS tape. Damn. I might reserve My Neighbor Totoro, which I still haven't seen. And maybe some feel-good-ish movies like Grease (which I haven't seen in years), or those popular teenage movies that I never saw like The Breakfast Club. I have seen part of Pretty in Pink, however, and a teeny, miniscule bit of Sixteen Candles.

Phew.

I didn't do any math yesterday, mainly because of stress and wanting to throw my sketchbook against the wall. Note to self: never work on manga drawing when you're stressed out.

I hope this counts as 'school work'...

Maybe I'll borrow the third and fourth InuYasha movies from the library, too.

I have to go to the library, actually, to pick up Luxury Yarn One-Skein Wonders, a Robert Plant CD, and a few other items. I don't think I have any DVDs to pick up, though...

March Break in Review

Let's look at that list again, shall we?

1. Vacuum my room.
2. Clean off my table.
3. Go on the local college's website and apply for a catalogue.
4. Go on Amnesty International's website to see if there are any letter-writing campaigns, or something similar, that don't require a membership fee or anything. Also, see how much a membership would cost. (went to their site, but only briefly.)
5. Do a lot of laundry - which I've already started doing.
6. E-mail Stephen to suggest a summer youth service.
7. Dust my room.
8. Get Dad to help me reinstall Human 3D

Yup, Dad finally helped me reinstall my biology program! Yay!

I never got 'round to vacuuming and dusting and cleaning off my table. Maybe next weekend.

I'm staying home from church because a) I don't feel like getting dressed, and b) I don't feel very church-y.

Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, and a march break to-do list

A Night with Kevin Smith was hilarious last night! Super Channel (I think?) showed the one filmed in Canada and the one filmed in Britain together. Mom thinks the one in Britain was funnier than the one in Canada.

Jason Mewes appeared in it, too. I guess him and Kevin Smith's humor would be considered R-rated. It's pretty rude and crude, but still hilarious.

So, here's a March Break to-do list...

1. Vacuum my room.
2. Clean off my table.
3. Go on the local college's website and apply for a catalogue.
4. Go on Amnesty International's website to see if there are any letter-writing campaigns, or something similar, that don't require a membership fee or anything. Also, see how much a membership would cost.
5. Do a lot of laundry - which I've already started doing.
6. E-mail Stephen to suggest a summer youth service.
7. Dust my room.
8. Get Dad to help me reinstall Human 3D.

The New Facebook (again)

I hate it. It took me a little while to figure out how to update my status via my profile. And you can't write on your own Wall anymore. Jerks.

With that rant put aside, I didn't get to watch Ugly Betty last night, so I'll have to watch it online. Hopefully CityTV has last night's episode up now. Tonight there's a program with Kevin Smith - I think it's a question-and-answer thing. And The Graham Norton Show is on, too. I don't know if it conflicts with the Kevin Smith thing or not, though.

I have to do laundry tonight :p
