V-Day

So I understand I'm a little bit late on this one, but it still had to be done ...

Last year, by the time Valentine's day was approaching my boyfriend and I had been dating for only about ... a week or two.  It was a shaky day.  What should we do?  Should we celebrate it or dismiss it?  Well, I think we did the smart thing by openly dismissing it.  It didn't matter, though, because we both ended up getting something small for each-other; I ended up getting him some delicious chocolate and he ended up tearing the only living blossom off of his cactus and giving it to me--it was such a sweet gesture.  It was cute.

Why I don't respect "pop culture".

Did anyone watch the Grammy awards last night?  I only saw a teeny bit of it--it was "F*ck You" with Cee-Lo Green and Gwyneth Paltrow.  She really screwed it up, but I really enjoyed the whole concept behind it... muppets are sweet!!   After the performance ended, I resumed my MCAT studies and continued to ignore any sound that was outside my door.

This morning, I open up Yahoo! (which, again, I should just never do because they don't provide REAL news) and what's all over the homepage?

Do your job, please?

Right now, I'm just chilling out and wasting time before my MCAT class starts.  I have 45ish minutes.  I do not want to do any work.  I just came out of an exam (ewgh) and I just want to relax a bit.

Although, I have a HUGE amount of work to catch up on this weekend.  Oh, dear god.

A couple of days ago, I was studying for this cognitive psych exam.  I had been living in the library, basically, and apparently I actually needed to read the textbook (in hindsight, this was a GREAT idea).  I walk up to the circulation desk and ask them for the book.

Seriously, that hipster douchebag behind the desk had to be halfway stoned or SOMETHING.

At least it's not Monday?

I know this is probably a really stupid thing to b!tch about, but ... I think I hate going to class.  Honestly.  I think I hate class.  I'm almost so bored with this semester that I have a hard time remembering what classes I'm even taking.  I have three actual classes (cellular neurobiology, medical anthropology, and cognitive psych) in addition to some psychology research in a lab.  Blagh.  I don't want to go to class.

What happened to good music and cartoons?

Or, rather, why is our culture heading in this direction?

So all of the cartoons that were cool when I was a kid--Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, and all that nonsense-- are now on Boomerang.  What the hell?!  Boomerang, the channel for super old cartoons from the 1960s?  Why is my childhood on this channel?  I don't even understand.

But what I understand even LESS is all of the live action shows on Cartoon Network.  Um, hello?  You're freaking Cartoon Network . That means that you should be playing cartoons ...?  I mean, the new stuff they have isn't really that good anyway.  Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends was okay, but that got cancelled.  I suppose some of the cartoons are okay, but the live action stuff is just awful.
