welcome back*
*originally from LJ
So I finished finals (which I totally bombed... they were ridiculous!) and went home for 2 weeks to make sure my brother didn't burn the house down while my parents were galavanting around Paris and London. Sure, they had fun... but me??? The first week I was completely sick. I just slept the entire time. BORING. Besides being sick, none of my friends were back yet/finished with finals. Then the second week I actually got to see people - mostly my grandparents, the dentist, my aunt, cousin and her two adorable kids, and some friends.
My friend Rivka from Yeshiva is dating someone seriously right now. She might be getting engaged any day now!!! Which makes me very excited... sure I'm glad she's happy, blah blah, but I haven't been to a wedding in a really long time and I want to go!
Then Friday night I had dinner in a cool place, Cafe Taci, and as I'm eating my dessert, a man who looks very familiar is walking out of the place. So I do a double take and say "that man looks like Richard Dreyfus" and a man at the table next to me turns and says "that was Richard Dreyfus." I believe that was my first "brush" with a celebrity. Too bad it's so boring.
Now I'm back in Ithaca (YAY). It's beautiful here in the summer. Green grass, trees, flowers, waterfalls, blah blah. Unfortunately, I've already had a minor accident. Someone, who shall remain unnamed, accidentally moved their chair on my little toe and sat down. So that's the 2nd toe I've taken out in 1.5 years. At this rate, all my toes will be broken in 12 years. I don't know if I like that. I like my toes. I want to be able to wear open toed shoes, and nice heels. Right now it's all red and black/blue and swollen. I was going to go to the health center today but lucky for me, they're closed.
On to other random things:
I saw Attack of the Clones yesterday. It was good, looked very nice (visually) but somehow, I was expecting more. I dunno, maybe it's all the hype, or just cause I had extrapolated a lot from the first episode. But the cool thing was all the minute details that fall together with episodes 4, 5 and 6. Like we just met Anakin's step family... and his stepbrother is the one who will raise Luke. I like how the movie doesn't throw it at you. There was no emphasis at all on the guy, in fact he was in for a total of less than 2 mins, but we already know him.
Next... I went to a lot of trouble to get a lot of my friends join codes for LiveJournal, and THE ONLY ONE who ever posts is Diorella. I'm pissed at you people! WRITE IN YOUR DAMN JOURNALS! It doesn't have to be every day, but at least once every week or two! Same goes for those of you who joined on your own.
ok, that's all I got for my little tirade. This summer will be awesome (as soon as my toe heals). Nothin but games, gym, nice weather, and a little torture (GREs, picking schools, etc). But it's all good.
