Mal*Wart- your source for cheap plastic crap.

Today I did little to no work, and I'm going to regret it tomorrow, but it was a full day nonetheless. I woke up around 11 and attempted to take a shower, but they were both in use. So I hung out for a while until they were free and missed brunch. But it was all good. I had easy mac and it made my life. I figured out how to redeem my itunes gift card and now I have itunes AND music! Yay! Bowling for Soup makes my life. (And Aladdin and Beethoven and Josh Groban and a whole bunch of other people.)

Then Sara and I tried to take the 3 o'clock shuttle to Walmart, but the brake broke or got stuck or something, so that didn't work. They said they'd bus us at 4 when the replacement bus came, but then they reneged on their pledge and when we came at 4 they told us we had to take the 5 o'clock shuttle. Even though there was a replacement bus right there! So we were forced to take the 5 o'clock shuttle and miss dinner. It's ok. We got more easy mac, so life is good.

I also found out that Dyke Ball is next weekend. Dyke Ball is a big Wellesley party where they guys go in drag and the women are tastefully but scantily clad. It's "creative black tie." I decided to do the punk thing because the shortest skirt I own is plaid and hopelessly punky looking. As much as I love my body I'm not comfortable enough to go in my underoos. (Heehee, I said underoos!) Although I guess there was a girl last year who went in nothing but blue paint. Don't know how she got in, though. Anyway, since it IS black tie I got some fishnets and a black tie at Walmart. And one of those punky leather wrist thingies. I'm going to see if I can borrow black boots with heels and black nail polish from someone. It would also be awesome if I could find some black fishnet gloves.

Oh man- and I found these cute, affordable resturants in Harvard Square. Yay!

I have anthro reading I really should be doing, but I'm bitter at my book. It's called "Lucy's Legacy" and it's 450 pages long. I'm around pg. 200 and there is yet to be any mention of Lucy. In fact, the discussion of human evolution has been rather limited. I feel like such a loser that I'm getting mad at this because it's not biologically oriented enough, but I want to learn about Lucy! I remember going to the Science Museum as a little kid, back when they had the wooden cut out of Lucy that was her height, and every time we went I'd measure myself against it. It made my life when I finally grew taller than her. And I was so excited when I saw we'd be reading this book because I think Lucy is so cool. But the book is crushing my hopes and dreams. It's also much longer than it has any right to be. Stupid book.

Oh and I have an exam and a quiz this week. I really need to go make my easy mac and do homework until I die.
