Just another day

[soc_puppet]

Yeah, so. How 'bout those wild boars?

Okay, yeah, moving on. I was going to go on a long gripe session about not having a car, and how the whole endorphins-from-exersize thing is BS in certain situations, but after French class, I don't feel like it as much. Instead, I'll just say, "It's not the cold, it's the dry," and leave it there.

Briefly, while I thought I had things worked out re: school this semester, it seems Mom may not have had him as convinced as we might've liked? Or maybe it's just his memory (ohgodplzno). Anyway, this was our conversation last night:

Dad: What classes are you taking?
Me: ...French.
Dad: And?
Me: That's it. I'm taking a break from schoolwork this semester, remember? I'll be looking for a job on the side.
Dad: You sure you couldn't take a full load? Because it would be cheaper (insurance-wise).
Me: *thinking* ...Gee, thanks for telling me this after the first day of classes is officially over, Dad. *aloud* ...I'll think about it/look into it.

On the plus side, at least I'll have a conversation starter with Dr. Kay tomorrow.


Unrelated side note, anyone have any information about what social services are like in Japan? For the homeless and such, I'm thinking. ...Not because I'm planning to go to Japan and become homeless, but because I need it for a plot point in Communications (which I am vaguely working on right now, and hope to have a fic_off-related update for shortly).

Also, I have no real thoughts at this moment re: live action Avatar movies, aside from "I hope I can get something that resembles a soundtrack from the show out of this." ...Okay, and also, "Let's see the professionals try and deal with immitating Katara's hair style now!" and "Woo-hoo, potential better costume references!" But mostly the soundtrack thing.

Edit: I hope they still have those fleece scarves at the Dollar Tree. I want to make more bedding for the ratties' cage.

I was actually thinking earlier today that I'd really like a soundtrack for Avatar. I'm a sucker for awesome BG music, and I loooooove instrumental music, and an Avatar soundtrack would totally deliver. It would also be cool if they did an album of character songs! *is bonked*

*hugs* It's okay...we'll hang in there, we'll make it through this horrible, trying time...and you will also go see my contribution to the post on memlu's LJ. I'm an idiot, yes ^^;;

I've been wanting one for a while now. Mostly for full versions of what Uncle sings, but also for the awesome background music. Also, I would pay lots and lots of good money for Avatar Drama CDs. *begins to wonder if they should pitch the idea to the Nick people*

...I saw your post and approve muchly. Cabbages ♥
