One of my professors is totally amazing. She says she's "divesting" herself of large parts of her record collection, so she brought some to seminar so we could take a look. Well apparently she was really mopey in the 80s because there was The Cure and The Psychedelic Furs. I just jumped on those and then she asked if I liked The Smiths. What kind of question is that, I emit Morrissey-loving pheromones. Anyway, I contain my geeking out enough to say YES, I do.
So now I (probably) have a few Smiths vinyls coming my way. HECK YEAH I GOT WHAT I WANTED THIS TIME.
and yes I'm going to be selfish and hope she has some Depeche Mode to throw in my direction too

time to meme/mame/mome/mume/mime
Meme! You tell me what the name of your autobiography would be and:
• I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
• Update your journal with the answers to the questions
• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions
Mine would be Cool Story Brosephina: Tales to Entertain
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) glorify asked
1. What is your favorite webcomic?
I don't read any right now except Married to the Sea, so I guess that. I used to be cray cray about Questionable Content until homegirl slept with Sven, and then I lost interest. WAIT, Nothing Nice to Say was a gooooood one. That's my favorite, I take MTTS back.
2. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Not Florida! I hesitate to say something like "lol London or Paris" because I can imagine actually going and hating it for whatever reason, and of the places I have visited, none have really stuck out as somewhere I'd like to live except for San Francisco, and even then, I'd still need more time to look around by myself. So...to be determined, lol.
3. Favorite historical figure?
This is an awful question to ask a history major. Completely awful. Let me name a few who come to mind: Alexander the Great!!! He was a boss of the highest order and I want to be someone's Hephestion ;_;. Um um um Abelard and Heloise are definitely up there, if only for the nerd-tier name they had for their son. ummmm Alcibiades and Eleanor of Aquitaine for sheer balls.
4. If you could look like anyone, who would it be?
Serena Williams (datass.jpg).
5. Ideal boy/girlfriend?
not too dumb, an enthusiasm to learn, not too ugly, kind of funny (also, funny that I find funny), decent taste in movies/music/books/clothes, ability to cook
I guess I'll stay ~*alone, with my impossible standards

I did make-up for a ~*monster ball~* last night and tried to be a badass looking skull, but I'm afraid I just looked like a juggalo.
And today Tottenham got schooled by that team. My butthurt knows no bounds.

I haven't been moved by a song in a long time but then this one came along. The whole album is pretty A+ but I can't stop listening to this.

Week one of being 21 uneventful thus far.
However, I get an absurd little thrill out of being able to buy beer and showing them my ID. The little pleasures are often the most satisfying.

Instant coffee in my oatmeal sounds like a terrible idea, but with a dash of honey? It's actually quite delicious.

I just came back from having the Elvis burger (lovingly described here: http://epouvante.livejournal.com/188082.html)
It tastes a lot (lot lot lot) better than it reads. A+ comida, highly recommended. The fried bananas tasted like platanos, and meat goes surprisingly well with peanut butter (I never would've thought, tbh). And then bacon was there to get the whole party wild. Good good good.

So I've been planning on an end of summer splurge-- I want to drop $$$ on something pretty expensive that I don't need but that I want. However, there are too many of these so I come to you: should I get a pair of Citizens of Humanity jeans (~$150) or one or two soccer jerseys (~$75 each for last season's, if I look right). Of course, I can buy them used, but for the sake of argument, one or the other. I'd get Tottenham and the US Men's National team, if it makes a difference.

I'm thinking about getting one of these from The Vortex before I leave Atlanta:
ELVIS BURGER
Slathered with a King-sized helpin’ of smooth
peanut butter, bacon and fried bananas. 7.95
good idea y/n
I prefer crunchy peanut butter, after all

Ok, I don't know how many of you know this, but I like football, the international kind and the American kind.
Anyway, as far as the "no adjective needed" football goes, the World Cup is coming up next year, and South Africa is hosting it, and in 2014 it'll be Brazil. HOWEVER, FIFA is still deciding where 2018 and 2022 will be, and that is where you come in.
http://www.gousabid.com/
^ That's the website for the people organizing the bid proposal to FIFA. If you would be so kind as to sign the petition, you will get a pleasant sticker in exchange. I would really like it especially if Florida people signed it, because I think if there's a big presence, the odds would be better for Miami, Orlando or Tampa being hosts, and even though it would be ten years into the future (jesus christ, how can that be), Miami is one of those places you never really can leave so I'd definitely still have people here I could crash with. Although it would be funny if the US DID get to host, and when WC time comes around, I'm living in some faraway country. What am I talking about funny, it would happen to me and that makes it sad.
So yes. Check it out. Also, the Premiership season starts this Saturday, so maybe you might want to check out some games on a shitty on-line stream somewhere. There are also a few games on Sunday as well. I'm personally hyped up for Tottenham vs. Liverpool, fyi (I like Tottenham). I think this is going to be a good season to watch, because the traditionally "top" teams have lost some good people, and some of the mid-tier teams have been buying a lot of good people, so it ought to be more competitive than it has been in the past. However, I do think Chelsea has the best chance of winning the whole thing (and they're one of the top four), and I really don't think Man City (the mid-tier team buying everyone) will gel immediately, so what do I know. Now's the time to start watching if you are so inclined, either way.
Oh, and I saw the US vs Mexico game yesterday. What a mess. I'm not gonna lie, the US should've been better (wtf was Ching doing on the field, for instance, and the first goal was in a wide fucking open space), and idg all the people complaining about the crowd, because the crowd was normal, but the ref was an idiot and the Mexican national team was a disgrace, as far as conduct goes.
That said, the Mexican goalkeeper is fine as hale. I'm undecided on the hair, but he is fine. ~*Muy bello~*.
In other news, I have been turning into a total girly girl because I went into a store and was utterly entranced by trying on shoes. This was directly caused by having money in the bank account. MONEY CHANGES EVERYTHING, Y'ALL. I've also been seeing some really cute coats/outerwear, but I live in Florida and I can't justify dropping a bunch of money on something I would honestly wear once a year if I pushed it.

I finally ran around Atlanta like a tourist today. I went to the art museum and the aquarium. The art museum was pretty boss, the architecture was great, the permanent collection was pretty good (there were a few things I wanted to take, ngl) and the exhibitions from the Louvre and Monet were nice. I recommend it.
I ate some empanadas from a restaurant. Shit was mediocre. I like my mom's more. :-/
The Georgia Aquarium was...eh. The general admission gave me a headache (I took two Excedrin as soon as I got back). I don't do well with tons of pushy and annoyed people (hence why Wal-Mart gives me a headache too). Also, I found the layout to be an absolute mess. That, and it's like, hello? I'm from a coastal city, if anything, I DON'T want to see tons of water for once. But then I had the Behind the Scenes tour, and I was the only one scheduled, so it was basically an aquarium tour guide showing me all of the background stuff (where the vets do surgery, the view from where trainers feed the animals, etc). It was really cool and I liked it a lot. The penguins were so precious, omg. And the lady showing me around was supernice and personable, and I felt a little bad for her because I'm so quiet, so she'd be waiting for me to say something or ask a question and I'd be like, ":-/". I should stop being so impossible.
So yeah. General admission = headache inducing, Behind the Scenes tour = very good. And it was all (aquarium and museum) free because my supervisor is...well, super.
Pictures will be forthcoming.
