Gretch-a-sketch (old)

You remember how in The Magic Schoolbus, Arnold's catchphrase was, "I knew I should have stayed home today!" Well, I knew I should have stayed home today. Not for any specific school reason, but if Ms. Frizzle happened to be a professor, we certainly would have ended up inside a snowflake or something. It is a flipping blizzard right now and I'd post a picture if it weren't so dark outside. But this is a pretty decent representation:

Walking home, I wished for a taun taun I could use for warmth. Anyhow, I a) hate snow, b) wish I could entirely skip February, and c) seriously don't know what I was thinking coming up here in the winter.

(A/N Edit: Clearly Jamie and I were on the same snow blogging wavelength today. Great minds think alike, eh?)

There's almost nothing I love more in life than finding a good deal. You see, I have this goal of getting through my undergrad without any debt--so far, so good. But I'm also a poor college student dealing with the rampant consumerism that comes from being a twenty-something girl. Next to finding a great buy, I love sharing (read: bragging) about it.

This weekend was a complete win-win.

Win #1: I made the life-altering decision to dye my hair dark. Like, waaaay brunette. So much for the blond Tina Fey thing, right? But I love it. So much.

Win #2: I found this little beauty at the local Down East Outfitters marked down half from $29.99. It was my lucky day, since all clearance was marked down an extra half! I paid: $7.50. Booyah!

I was seriously just thinking the other day, "If I could make fanvids, I'd create one for Belle & Sebastian's 'Step Into My Office, Baby." Lo and behold, look what I just found on the internet!



I also think it'd be cool to do a video featuring the D-M women to the "Maneater" song--either the Hall & Oates version or Nelly Furtado's version.

Tomorrow is the last day to order your Bittersweets in time for V-Day! They're, uh, pretty self-explanatory and come in Dejected, Dysfunctional, and Dumped. My personal favs are HE HAS A JOB, P.S. I LUV ME, SETTLE 4LESS, and MOMMY ISSUES.


Only $9.95! Add an additional 3 easy payments of $24.50 and Molly Shannon will deliver them personally to your door!*
*Not really. But how cool would that be?

Okay, this one's kind of a no-brainer, but I still thought I'd put it out there.

1. Christian--Boy's fierce, there's no doubt about that.
2. Ricky--He's totally going to have at least six more breakdowns before the end of the season, but he's got what it takes.
3. Sweet P--I didn't love her at first, but she's the most stable one of the group. Plus, she listens to Tim and makes adorable dresses.

Ugh, thank heavens Victorya got auf'd. Next to go: Rami
Why did none of them use the cotton? I would've used it in a skirt or something. Also, I'm craving a new pair of jeans now. Darn you, Levis!

1. Chi McBride--Emerson!!
2. Bill Pullman--I'd make him sing "I'm the King of New York." (ETA: In addition to the song, I'd have him re-enact the leaning scene from While You Were Sleeping. Swoon!)
3. Ellen Page--First, we'd become best friends and then I'd get her to agree to being in my movie.

(Runners-up include Kristen Stewart, Rufus Sewell, and Amy Adams.)

Last year was the worst, since I was less than an hour away from JKras and John Cusack and I had to work. Someday, I'll attend you, Sundance! Someday!

Many thanks to Rae and ABC family for donating the freaking awesome Kyle XY prize pack I just won! Woohoo! I totally get the Season 1 DVD, Soundtrack, and a calendar so I can have Matt Dallas for 366 days (minus the last 15 and how ever many days it takes to ship).

I missed the half season premiere last night, but I heard it was good.

Edit: Wow, I am such a dork.
