Mused and Abused

So... "Troy" is a really lame movie. I mean, I enjoyed myself, because I was busy laughing at the stupid characters and the artistic inaccuracies, as well as how completely the writers captured the basic personalities of the characters. I mean, Achilles really is a jackass, and Paris really is a pathetic little pansy. Well done, writers, well done.

As for me, I'm sitting and typing on Sarah Mapes' computer. She's out tonight, and for now at least, I have the apartment to myself. I'm fully taking advantage of it by lounging about wearing a sarong for a dress and eating brie. Oh so yummy-yummy.

So, in that last paragraph, you may have caught the whole apartment business. It's true, yesterday I moved out of my dorm room (with the extraordinary help and patience of Lee and his dad) and into the apartment which I will be sharing in the near future with Sarah Mapes and Adrienne. I seriously could NOT have made the move without Lee- yes Lee, you rock my socks. THANK-YOU!!!!

As for today, I made a trip to the bank, which is a surprisingly big deal. I finally deposited a check that I was given for easter! huzzah!

Ooh, tonight I went with Sarah, Mike, Ryan, and some other guys I don't know too well to Islands for dinner. Scott was our server, and you know what that means... underage drinking! Yay! That's right, I had my first margarita! Of course, it was a mango margarita, and darn good! And don't worry, my driver drank sprite. ;-) I realized that Mike reminds me a lot of Anna Biglen. Fun people, those two.

Oh yes, and I lost at Scrabble today. Drat. ^_^

Also, in case this blog weren't long enough, I've decided, per Mat's request, to include the lyrics of the Avalanches song "Frontier Psychiatrist." I think they have a few errors, but here they are, in all their glory! (These came from the site
)

Is Dexter ill today, Mr Kirk, Dexter's in school,
I'm afraid he's not, Miss Fishborne,
Dexter's truancy problem is way out of hand,
The Baltimore County school board have decided to expel
Dexter from the entire public school system,
Oh Mr Kirk, I'm as upset as you to learn of Dexter's truancy,
But surely, expulsion is not the answer!
I'm afraid expulsion is the only answer,
It's the opinion of the entire staff that Dexter is criminally insane

[Chorus]
That boy needs therapy, pyschosomatic,
That boy needs therapy, purely pyschosomatic,
That boy needs therapy,
Lying down on the couch, what does that mean?
You're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? That boy needs therapy,
I'm gonna kill you, that boy needs therapy,
Ranagazoo, let's have a tune,
Now when I count three,
That... that... that.. boy.. boy needs therapy,
He was white as a sheet, and he also made false teeth

Avalanches above, business continues below,
Did I ever tell you the story about,
Cowboys! M... M.. M.. Midgets and indians and... Fron.. Frontier Psychiatrist,
I... I felt strangely hypnotised,
I was in another world, a world of 20,000 girls,
And milk! Rectangles, to an optometrist, the man with the golden eyeball,
And tighten your buttocks, pour juice on your chin,
I promised my girlfriend... a violin

Frontier Psychiatrist... Frontier....

[Chorus]

Can you think of anything else that talks, other than a person?
Uh ohh... uh oh, a bird! Yeah!
Somtimes a parrot talks,
Ha ha ha... Yes, some birds are funny when they talk,
Can you think of anything else?... a record!
