The alarm clock on my nightstand is telling me this: 00:00. Almost reproachfully, it tells me this, in bright digital digits. I couldn’t stand the old theme anymore. Y’all know I love the simple stuff, and I’ve been wanting to use this font (saw it over on Becca’s blog first, so possibly credit for the idea should go to her?) in a really long time. I’m tired of Arial and Verdana and Georgia at the moment. So tonight, I cast all reservations to the wind, and got to work. We’ll see how long this one will be around, huh? I’m sorry, I’m such a nutcase when it comes to the look of my website. I also don’t have anything else to report that might be interesting so I’ll just chuck some random bits and pieces at you; unfinished drafts that have been sitting on my WP Dashboard forever.

This is an amazing quote by Azar Nafisi: “I wallowed in the afterglow of my irrelevance.” I would tattoo that across my non-existent biceps. I’ve actually been thinking about getting a tattoo in a while (though, not on my non-existent biceps). But should I? In any case, I love that quote. It’s so- I don’t know… fragile? Haunting? At first, I wanted to put it up there underneath my sitename but then it felt a bit too dramatic and, well, sad. So. But I’m sure a day of utter depression is just around the corner (ISN’T IT ALWAYS?), and maybe I’ll change it then.

I’m going to go see Invictus with Sandra on Thursday because she really wants to see it, and they’re showing it in the artsy foreign language theater here in Maastricht, and I haven’t been to the movies in easily over a year (A YEAR!), so I’m really looking forward to that. But I also want to see these movies:

Date Night, because Tina Fey and Steve Carrell are awesome. Where the Wild Things Are, because I’ve got a feeling that it might cheer me up. Last Song, because I like Miley Cyrus and it looks just sappy enough to be worth the ticket time it takes to download. The Runaways, because Dakota Fanning was a wonderful actress whenever she was only three years old and I want to see if she’s still as impressive now.

I have another major paper to write that is due on Friday. So I’ll be spending most of tomorrow and Thursday working on that. On Thursday, I’ve also got an appointment with the faculty adviser to talk about all the little complications with my schedule and grades etc. that apparently add up to A Big Problem. So not looking forward to that. But anyhoo. I’ll get to bed. The alarm clock reads 00:21.
