i'm batman

So I signed up to do work-study at school. Basically it means I drop back to half-time in class and spend the other three hours working at the school. I'll mainly be doing teacher help, but there are times when I might be put in the office to help out. I won't start till sometime after the board meeting on the 8th though.

Class is going good. I've finished two chapters and did a two day medical office simulation and I'm currently in the middle of my first bit of transcription. Both morning and afternoon classes have filled up, but so far everyone seems really eager to do stuff. I've already had one new girl say she's interested in competing at state.

We also had elections for our BPA chapter. Since our class is technically two classes (morning and afternoon) we do two sets of officers. I was elected President for the afternoon class (since I'll be working in the mornings.) I'm really excited about it. I've never held an office in anything before so it's slightly nerve-wracking. Thankfully our teacher is awesome and I'm also good friends with the morning president (in fact we sit right next to each other.)

I gave blood on Thursday. This was the first time I've done it since high school. I got a t-shirt and tickets to the OKC zoo which I gave to a lady in class who has little ones at home.

In other news... Saw the season finale of Being Human last night. I really like how the series turned out overall. I think it's my new favorite vampire/fantasy TV series. George is easily my new favorite werewolf.

Still counting down the days till The Resistance comes out and I'm still on Muse overload. I do enjoy the Matt wallpaper on my computer at school though. It's very spiffy. Speaking of spiffy things... even if you don't like Muse you have to admit the shuffle dance is quite spiffy. Just look at that timing.

Oh and I finally broke 100 wpm typing speed~.

WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME, ROBERT DOWNEY, JR.? WHY? I ONLY WANT TO LOVE YOU. D=

I WATCHED BOWFINGER FOR YOU!

I EVEN WATCHED FUR FOR YOU!

BUT YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME!

Oh who am I kidding? I'll still end up watching you... but I won't enjoy it!

Though I wasn't too gung-ho on Jude Law as Watson before (mostly because I'm not too gung-ho on Jude Law period), but for some reason I kinda liked the bitchy scene... *feels weird*

Jerry Bruckheimer better be really, really thankful that Jake Gyllenhaal has amazing abs.

Like really, really, really thankful... he should probably send them a thank you note.

I CAUGHT UP ON SHORTPACKED!

I totally wasn't expecting to care about anything other than the comic parodies (I'm Batman.) but dammit if I don't love Ethan and Mike and everyone... even Faz. Oh Mike... why can't you just admit you're gay for Ethan?

Go read it... please? Especially if you like comic book/old school cartoon nerdiness. Plus it has a talking car that loves Short Circuit. How can you not enjoy that?

SHORTPACKED!

[Error: unknown template qotd]I got spontaneously hugged once, but I've never started it. I'm too afraid of being punched.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I teared up during Obama's speech yesterday. It's kind of nice to have a president I actually want to listen to when he speaks for a change.

And Now for some links of stuff I've enjoyed lately...

Clearly we learned nothing from the Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game (you know the one that was kinda Mortal Kombat-ish in terms of graphics and made you want to cry?) since we now have Dragonball: The Movie: The Game! Just what I always wanted!

PV for Gackt's new single, GHOST - I don't even know where to start... I do enjoy the song though. The b-side of the single was pretty good too.

This House parody made me smile.

Also I've been thinking about signing up for Twitter, but I'm not sure I want to...
