it is upon us

more hot hot d&g ads. okay, a few of them are a little skinny (geez julien, what happened?), but i'd be lying if i said i didn't want them anymore. a slightly bigger version of the one above, and another one where julien hedquist looks really fucking good. in other model news, i've noticed tyson ballou is in the new lv ads, but i haven't had the funds to get and scan the new pics. hopefully i will soon, or mebbe someone can just send them to me. oh, while you're at it, gimme hi-res scans of the ck underwear ads with freddie ljungberg in them.

nevermind what the calendar says, the spring is most definitely here. it's relatively warm most of the time, with birds chirping all over the place and flowers in bloom. the cherry trees in the quad are starting to flower, and i can't wait til that's in full bloom, cuz it's definitely one of my favorite things to see on campus (another is the view of mt. rainer from red square to the fountain). it's just absolutely gorgeous, it's sad it only happens for a short while once a year. hopefully, i can take a picture of it this year and share it with those who can't be here to see it. i also love the sun, and it just puts me in such a good mood when it's shining. i need to start working on my tan; i feel like a vampire. the bright rays also bring out all the hot boys (the ones that hide inside when it's cold and overcast or rainy) and that's always more fun, and not only that, but they're starting to wear less. oh, could there be a better remedy for the autumn and winter? i think not.

there's only one week of school left, and everything is fine. well, papers and finals are coming fast, which i'm not anticipating, but it's not like i haven't gone thru this shit a dozen times. i can't wait til i don't have to take this film class anymore. i seriously am so happy that i only have to sit thru that horrid lecture two more times. i'm hoping i'll never have to deal with that prof again ever. i love film, and she's made it painful for me to love it. i curse her! in other news, i actually might miss the people i've been taking my morning class with, since i've been taking a class on this subject with them for two quarters (six months!), and while it's not like we're friends (nor would i really want to be), there's a sort of comfort that develops when you see the same people five days a week for so long. oh well, i'm sure i'll be over it as soon as they're gone. out of sight, out of mind. as for the other morning class, i'll be taking the next in the series with most of the same people, including that cute boy, so there's a reason to get excited for that. the other two classes next quarter will be martial arts film (yes, another film class) with a professor whose course i enjoyed fall quarter, and one with another prof i've had previously. i'm wishing for an easier spring quarter, but even if it isn't easier, it will definitely be a lot of fun (well, as fun as school can be anyway. is it nerdy of me to enjoy learning?).

for spring break, i'll be jetting off to san francisco to visit a couple friends! of course, i totally don't kno what to do while i'm there, so feel free to give me any suggestions. i'll be there for a week and a half, and i want to make the most of it.

i saw in good company the other day and i enjoyed it a lot. great performances from the whole lot of them. it was just the rite amount of funny and the rite amount of drama, a good balance. while it was pretty predictable, i was still very much entertained, so if you are looking for a nice non-threatening movie, this will definitely do.

last nite i went to see the helio sequence at neumo's. it was rocking and i enjoyed the music a lot. they didn't have any little buttons, so i ended up getting their cd. i just can't leave empty-handed! i recommend everything give them a listen. it seems like whenever i get into a band, they show up in town. usually, i miss it and then am full of regrets later, but this time i actually got to go. joseph arthur is coming to neumo's the day before i leave for sf, and if i'm not too tired from finals week, it'd be a good way to celebrate the end of the quarter.
