Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
It's just flaily time, I guess.
The school issue is still goin' strong, by cracky. Ugh. On the plus side, I'm finished with midterms, and quantum dots are cool. *shrug* You take what you can get.
There's an awesome contest going on at Lush right now, and I have a brilliant idea for it. Only problem is, it requires a bubble bar. I used my last bit of one yesterday. Not. Fair.
Project Runway this week made me literally shout at the TV.
SPOILERS
I'm a Christopher fan, or at least someone who liked his earlier designs and is rooting for him to turn it around, and I didn't even think his outfit this week was that bad. But to keep him over Nicolas? Over Nicolas's gorgeous wrapped top and pants with nifty little pleats? WTF?! And Kors, ooo, Kors, with his snippy criticisms for the sake of making soundbites. What, pray tell, was so Grease about that outfit? I agree that it wasn't very Grecian (though the top did show a bit of that inspiration, in my eyes), but there wasn't a single thing about it that brought the slightest hint of Pink Ladies or Greasers to mind. In the words of a very wise man, now you're getting crazy with this shit. Add onto that Nina disagreeing with Ra'mon's aufing, but agreeing with Epperson's, and I'm starting to wish they hadn't brought the usual panel back. Sure, the revolving technique has a lot of flaws, but Kors and Nina aren't exactly pristine little flowers either.
... I had just started to like Nicolas, damnit! And he really didn't deserve it this week! Yaaaaargh.
Plus, having looked at the final collections, I know who the final three models are, and I think I know who the final three designers will be. I'm not happy with either. This show. Why oh why do I let it do this to me? If only we could have Project Awesome, where Jay, Austin, Chris, and Christian just sit around being flamboyant bitches and knocking out beautiful clothes. Now that would be fashion.
Edit(9:42pm):
Jaime: With special guest Kayne!
Me: YES. I knew I forgot someone.
END SPOILERS
Moving on, after a bit of pestering from a school friend of mine and some online research, I dragged Jaime out to the movies last night for a midnight showing of Paranormal Activity. Long story short, I thought it was good, though not the masterpiece of ultimate fright that everyone led me to believe, and Jaime loathed it. It all boils down to your tolerance for slow pacing. What I found suspenseful, Jaime just found boring, and the moments that I pegged as being creepy (though not scary, despite the screaming in the theater suggesting otherwise), Jaime felt were too little, too late. One thing we did agree on, though, was the ending. It sucked. I hear this one was suggested by Spielberg, and my god, should they have ignored him. When it comes to subtlety, the man's a hack. We watched the original theatrical ending for comparison. Jaime actually liked it and said it made the movie decent, but still forgettable. I loved it. For me, it pushes the film from a creepy little flick to something a tad artistic. If you do go see it, which I'd only recommend if, like me, you're a fan of being in a crowd of the noisy terrified (haunted houses are great fun, y/y?), do yourself a favor and look up the original ending afterwards. Otherwise, hold out for a DVD that includes that ending and just skip the Hollywood one entirely. The original's immeasurably better. Trust me.
Oh, and my mom should never see that movie. She'll be freaked out. Doesn't help that the house in the movie bears some resemblance to the home in Reno. Gives it juuuuust that extra bit of impact that I know would make her shriek.
In other news, I think I may put together a make-up tutorial/suggestion guide of sorts based on the little bits I've managed to collect cheaply that get the job done. Why not cut out the trial-and-error I went through and just spread the knowledge, yeah? Would anyone be interested in that sort of thing?
I'm going to make a revised Christmas list for the hell of it and go all out this time. Apple gadgets, Tokidoki swag, Pullip dolls, the works. Online window shopping is fuuuuun. Anyone else enjoy doing that?
... 13 to 10. Against Mississippi State. Jesus Hernando Christo. Step it up, Gators.
