For now, the top songs on my playlist:

1. Foundations (metronomy remix)- Kate Nash
2. Uh-Huh- Munchousen By Proxy
3. Mouthwash (Hot Chip Remix)- Kate Nash
4. You Say He's Just a Friend- Alvin & the Chipmunks
5. Stillness is the Move- The Dirty Projectors

8. Electricity- Von Iva
9. Laughing With- Regina Spektor
10. Us- Regina Spektor
11. Why Do You Let Me Stay Here- She&Him

I could keep going, but chances are I'll be listening to something different within the next two weeks.

Big Pimpin

It's official. Megan and I are collaborating on a book idea. Thank you Dr. McMahon for the wonderful idea. I'm thinking about turning this idea into a blog. If the blog catches on, maybe people will submit their stuff and it can go into our book. I'm not sure how that works, but since its just an idea right now I'll worry about it later.

Tonight, we watched Inglourious Basterds.

Next week, we will probably analyze the language/subtitles and traditional film techniques in the movie. Because it's interesting. And I have no job.

Tomorrow though, is Application Thursday. I'm sure filling out job apps is a lot more fun than it sounds.

I will also probably look up material on grad schools. Again, because I have no job.

On another note, I vote that next year for Christmas, we all go out and buy ourselves gifts. If we choose, we can wrap them and open them in front of friends/family. Everybody will (or should) be happy with their gifts. That way, there is no guess work involved and I won't have to wander aimlessly around stores searching for something my friends want. This is a good idea.

Where Da Hood At

Tomorrow, I am taking my mother's GPS and going Christmas Shopping. I'm not a fan of Christmas shopping (I like giving, but I don't like to guess at what to give).
But, this GPS and I are going to become fast friends. I have no idea where I'm shopping. I just plan on picking somewhere random (not too random, it'll be somewhere in midwest city) and finding my own way, or the way of the GPS, to some overcrowded shopping center.
It probably sounds like a horrible idea, but I think it would be fun to drive to some strange city and get completely lost, JUST to use the GPS to get back. Maybe I'd learn some of the roads and wouldn't need a map anymore, which would be the main goal. Maybe I'd forget all the roads and have a great time observing and checking out the sights, which I would settle for. Maybe I'd get so lost, I'd never find my way back, which I would also settle for.

I Know

I should be doing my homework.

Instead, I'm rewriting Owl City's "Fireflies" song.

Its going to be about how ECU makes fake degrees.

I think my version will be called "To My Surprise."

It's fun. Much more entertaining than Political Parties.

In other news, I have two finals, no work tomorrow. Close (or close).
