I feel sullied and unusual

ithikaYou know (Well. You probably don't actually.) how I watch a chosen DVD collection of mine over and over again during folio week? Well, my chosen play/repeat DVD set for this Semester's folio week was Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl and Dead Man's Chest.
"Mr Gibbs, I feel sullied and unusual..." is possibly my favourite line from Dead Man's Chest, although I'm not sure. It was however definitely the most appropriate one to sum up the whole folio week experience.
And how did it go? Well, well enough I suppose. My model was... well. I daresay that it may cause blindness, it is just that ugly. Which is a cause for concern for me. Oh, and watching Pirates of the Caribbean over and over didn't help ease the ache in my mushy fangirl heart that comes from STILL having not seen At World's End. As a result, I won't be reading my friends page (properly) or er, using THE INTERWEB until I have seen it, because damn it I've been diligently spoiler free for over a year now, damned if I'm going to let Folio Week open the gate to spoilers.
I didn't see it this weekend because I have a grand total of three dollars in my bank account at the moment. Tragedy of tragedies, I know. This is because folio cost me like 250 fucking dollars. That word being used for stressing the point here rather than implying anything else. >:( That is my look of disapproval.
So er, I won't be around much. OH RIGHT
I had a question for everyone.
Can anyone download past exams from the library at the moment? Because I can't download the past exams for my history unit (ARCT 2210 if you're intrigued, which I doubt), and this makes me a sad panda. Should I just call the uni and have a cry at them, or something? I don't know. I would really like it if things would just work, or if teachers would just do their job. Yeah. I really hope those SURF sheets are anonymous, you know?
I just downloaded a pile of awesome addons for Firefox. I love Firefox.
Um.
That's all.
Oh I caught Dialga. Sweet. I called it Tempest, because Maelstrom was too long. I'm not sure it's the right name for it yet though. And it doesn't fit with my trend of naming them all after appropriately linked gods/mythological creatures. Or stuff that's just linked to their name. Yes. Like my Empoleon is called Admiral and my Staraptor (Starmie) is called Celeste. Celeste as in Celestial. Yes. My Rapidash is called Epona, not only named after Epona from Legend of Zelda, but there was also a Celtic goddess called Epona. She was also a horse, so yay. Golem is called Tecton as in Tectonic, Luxray is called Sphinx, which was kind of a play on Shinx and it's catlike appearance. It's not really linked but it'll do. I did have an Alakazam which I called Mavia, named after a Greek goddess of dreams (minor deity), but she's been ditched now in favour of Dialga. I never liked the Abra-Kadabra-Alakazam chain anyway, it was just there because I needed a psychic to balance out my team. Now I have slightly too much Steel, but that's okay. Dialga is pretty badass so it'll make up for it.
Right I'm going to study now. Shhhhhhhh.
Sullied isn't that kind of dirty by the way.

Date: 2007-06-06 01:56 pm (UTC)So, in your last big paragraph, I was reading all these things you caught/have and I'm like -- "What the hell? Is she an exotic pet dealer? Why have I never heard of any of these things?! I'm in PetSmart all the time! Is she foreign? Am I missing something? Ghaaaaaaaan!" ... *googles Starmie* ... "*facepalm*
Duhrhrhrhr. I'm smart.

You should be able to get them if they come up on the site. If it's just a matter of downloading then try another library computer! They can be temperamental. I'm going to get some on Friday. Hopefully mine work.
