tropie uses [procrastinate]. it's super effective!

+ So I forgot until Friday of last week that we were having a house guest this weekend. Surprise!! He's one of the few friends of K's who isn't also a good friend of mine, so it was a little stressful, especially since K kept having to go to basketball games. (He's one of the radio commentators for his university team.) It was fine, though, and we went and did a bunch of touristy things that we'd somehow never gotten around to, like "spot the dinosaur" and "spot the artsy quotes".



+ Job applications, always. :(

+ I finished knitting my mother's birthday present (mittens with owls!), so now I just have to not forget about them in March.

+ I did something to my shoulder the other day while sleeping and it has been sore for like, a week. I know this is a sign that I need to start swimming again to strengthen that shit up, but right now it's just, ugh. ICE PACKS FOR EVERYONE

+ Other things: I am super enjoying New Girl (has anyone seen my GOOD peacoat??)! I cut a lot of hair off the other day and it sort of freaked me out but now I like it. I found some photobooth pictures (like an actual booth, not the program) from several Christmases ago in which I look ADMIRABLY drunk. And possibly in love with my co-photo-star. I won second place (in a seven-way tie) in our Super Bowl prop bet! And was the only one to successfully guess there would be a safety! Okay, fine, it was because we only started filling out the bet sheet when the game started and it was scored so soon only half the people had filled it out and it was disqualified as a category BUT THAT IS A TECHNICALITY.

I don't want to talk about how long it took me to figure out that quote in the picture.

I KNOW, RIGHT? What's your deal, campus art?? I didn't even include the rest of the numbers statue (I'm using the term statue loosely) that you can see in the corner. The worst part about the quote is that once you figure it out, it's not even that meaningful. But maybe that's because I'm not into, like, astrophysics.

OH HELLO

i don't wash towels, the towel washes me

OMG NEW GIRL! I really do adore Schmidt and Winston (when they give him things to do, like his little mountain of post-its at his temp job) but all my feels are kinda reserved for Nick's ridiculous face when he frowns and how grumpy he is and how he's totally in love with Jess (but I also love Lizzy Caplan, so...threesome? A real one this time?)

Now, if people trying to insult the show could just stop calling Jess 'twee' I would be good.

I really enjoy the characters! They're all a great mix of sweet and sarcastic/just eccentric enough that I really love all of them, despite the plots never really...cohering? Like, with the exception of the Thanksgiving episode and the Party Bus episode, I don't really feel like any of the episodes have A and B plots that are both linear and resolved, but I kind of.......don't care! Because somehow the characters are delightful enough to overcome it!
