1. In the new fandom taking over my brain at a speed approaching c stakes, I'm doing that thing where every time I hit shuffle I get another song that makes me think about hockey RPF and laugh hysterically. e.g. two for Kaner:
- "Shuffle off to Buffalo" (42nd St OST) which you really just have to youtube because lolololololol.
- "Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No!" by the Mint Chicks. for obvious reasons IMO.
I have a compulsion to mentally vid fandoms in completely inappropriate music, so e.g. all my Supernatural music perfectly meets the definition of chick flick music. It makes life more amusing as I walk down the street, anyway.
2. Avengers tomorrow! YAY. (Technically the day after tomorrow, but
caramarie and her mum and sister and
owlbeer and I are going to the midnight screening, whoop whoop!)
3. I think I may have to drop out of my te reo class. This really sucks because I wanted badly to keep it up, but it's 6-9 Tuesday and Wednesday nights and it's really putting a crimp in my brainpower. Plus, I am resenting it because I would rather be at social dancing night on Tuesdays. On the other hand, if I can just get through this year I know I'll learn a lot and I'll be done with the three-year certificate, and I think it's really good to have on your CV when applying for jobs in Wellington (which I am doing, I don't know if I've mentioned that here). On the other other hand (mutant!), I'm really tired a lot at the moment, and I'm sick of weekends like the last one where I can't even shift myself to do any washing or go to the market or wash my hair or do anything other than sleep, eat, and watch television. On the other other other hand, I don't know that dropping Māori is really going to improve my ability to do that. Advices?
4. I am so close to finishing my jersey I can just about TASTE it. I am going to snuggle in with Fringe tonight and get it done so I can block it and maybe wear it this weekend!
5. This is a reminder to myself to at some stage post my Non-Anonymous Thoughts About Anonymous Memes. It will be a post without numbers and bullet points! Which I was going to say I hadn't done for awhile but actually I did a couple back in March, you lucky things, you.

Date: 2012-04-23 09:55 am (UTC)Re #3: 6 hours of classtime plus presumably a bunch of study PLUS working full-time does not make for much time to do much of anything else. In my experience, the semesters I've done really well at studying have also been the semesters where I haven't vacuumed my room for months at a time, or gone out with friends, or really done anything else with my life except read bunches of fic and write rambly lj posts about how much my life sucks. But this semester, where I've hung out with people (sometimes!) and done a whole bunch of house stuff, I really, really haven't done nearly as much study as I should have, and I'm finding it incredibly hard to motivate myself to do so.
So long-windedly I do not have a lot of advice to give, just that you seem kind of overloaded with Stuff and that's a reasonable position to be in given that you're DOING loads of stuff. And that you are probably going to have to drop something - and that whatever you pick is okay.
Re #4: \o/ is that your owl jersey?
