I found a record player on ebay for $13.00, with $12 shipping. Some guy in Birmingham found it still wrapped in its original packaging in the basement of his church. So it's sorta like I traveled back in time and bought a brand new one, which is pretty cool.

The Killers are coming to Dallas! They're coming to Edge-fest which is the pretty terrible rock radio station they have here. But The Killers and Gogol Bordello are the two bands I've said I wanted to see before I die, so 1 down, 1 to go.

This weekend, here's what I'm going to do:
1. trip to white rock lake
2. look up record stores so I can buy The Killers album
3. studying for physiology.

And then, the record player's supposed to get here on Tuesday!

So lots of things to look forward to, if only I can get through tomorrow afternoon which is my final cell biology test.

Two days ago I won a white vinyl EP from the radio station.
Now I'm looking for a record player to buy, which I'd been planning to do for a while, but this hurries the process up. The first record I will buy for myself is Sam's Town by The Killers, which is the best album that's come out in a while, in my opinion.

I am battling procrastination and apathy.

Tonight, at a McDonald's parking lot, a man caught me delicately sniffing Aaron's armpit. It really was a natural reaction. Aaron said, "I smell like a wet mongoose." And I said, "Really?"
What can you do after that than see for yourself? But just as I was ascertaining that he did not, indeed, smell like a wet mongoose, he said, "There's a guy in the car next to us."
I looked over, and saw that, the guy was not in the car next to us, he was standing next to the car getting ready to get in the car next to us, when he was distracted by the spectacle going on over in our car. When he saw that I'd caught him looking, he smiled at me with genuine good cheer and got into his car.
I found it pretty hilarious.

We drove to Houston this weekend, and found the place where we're probably going to get married. It's called George Ranch, and it's a historical plantation-ish house, complete with a creepily beautiful cemetary surrounded by oaks with Spanish moss on them. It looks straight out of the movie The Others.

When I woke up this morning, I had lunch with my parents and enjoyed the awesome weather--67 degrees, just cold enough to feel a little chilly, but totally sunny. A park day for sure.
Then, I had to drive back to Dallas, which is no longer as freezing as it was when we left, but still pretty f-ing cold. Poor little stray cats outside freezing their arses off and fighting over dry cat food.

This week I've watched 3 movies with Jennifer Connelly in them, and in all three, the image of her standing at the end of a pier is pivotal to the plot. It was wierd.
The three movies were:
-Requiem for a Dream
-House of Sand and Fog (which I've seen before but wanted to show Aaron, and once we started watching it, I started dreading the end immediately.)
-Dark City (which Aaron has seen before, but I hadn't and I really liked it.)

This weekend, we're driving down to Houston once again.

I'm listening to CYHSY and it makes me want to go on a road trip again.

The roadtrip pics are at the very end.

This weekend:
1. watched Masterpiece Theater's version of Jane Eyre on PBS, which was amazing, and the best version I've seen yet. It's the only one that actually shows some of the sexual tension bt Rochester and Jane Eyre that I've always felt the book conveyed. I'm definitely going to order it when it comes out, even though it's sorta expensive.
2. watched The Descent, which is only the second movie to literally make me cry from fear. And this one did it within the first 30 mins, I think. (The other one was The Ring.) I liked how the scariness wasn't just limited to the cave, but even in the real world, like when the main character is in the hospital and running down the hall.
3. Got a new hoodie, which I plan to wear to pieces.
4. Started reading The Awakening, one of Aaron's books that he had to read for school back in the day. He hated it...I wonder if I will. The beginning is engrossing, at least.

Oh, and, I made a 97 on my Embryology test that I was studying for on Friday night. So it was worth it, but too bad the class is only Pass/Fail so nobody will ever know how well I did on it except you and me. : )

Here I am on a Friday night, studying for another test.
I can't tell you how much I love school. And by love, I mean hate.

This morning I woke up at 8:30, got to school, studied and looked at slides until 1:00 p.m. and then took the Cell Bio test from 1:00 till 5:00. It was physically taxing. For everyone involved, including the testers, who kept having to run back and forth checking people's slide answers. (there was a lab part where we had to identify things on slides.)
I did alright on that part, it's the multiple choice part that scares me. Please God, let me have passed.

Anyways, after tonight, I promise blogs full of fun and action.
