4:38 AM.

I never sleep. At least there's a reason for it at this moment.
I am definitely still at the tech center on campus though. There is no sense in going back to my apartment now. So, I think I'm just gonna hang out here until my 9 am final, and then I'll take my ass home and pass out after it's over.

I thought I would post something though. A few weeks ago, I wrote a research paper for the Cybermedia online class I'm taking. It was about blogging and how it's altering current media. So, considering the circumstances, I thought I would post it. Maybe someone might have an interest in reading it. Let me know what you think.

My paper.


PS. My eye is legit twitching from too much caffeine and lack of sleep. haha.

Finals.

Seriously, this week needs to be over.
I am about to go to the Tech Nasty and pull an all-nighter. Translation=The Tech Center. (Inside joke. I'm annoying).

Anyway, if anyone is going to be there. Feel free to come and distract me.
Or if you are well versed in HTML and website building from scratch, please also feel free to share your knowledge with me.
One love.

Lily Allen is pretty fucking awesome. I was hoping to run into her (by that, I mean party with her) while I was in London this summer. We went to this underground club called YoYo one night that her ex-boyfriend Seb Chew DJ's at, who apparently she still sees often, according to the British newspapers we read when there. Alas, no Lily though.
This is all irrelevant to my original point that she did an acoustic cover of Britney Spears "Womanizer," and it's super cute.
Listen to it.

"Hey baby, am I crazy or was you giving me the eye?"


I am currently obsessing over the new Common album, Universal Mind Control. I think it received alot of mixed reviews, but I love the electronic feel. There are only like 4 songs that I really love but still.
Also, Common has a much better and less vulgar way of describing sex (which he does A LOT of) too. I can appreciate as a female.


"Punch Drunk Love" featuring Kanye West:

2008 Lists.

How is tomorrow December 1st? This year has gone faster than any other ones in my short life.
So, in light of that fact, I thought I would compile a couple lists of my personal favorite albums and songs of 2008.
Cause who doesn't like lists, honestly?

My favorite albums of 2008:

21. Adele-19

20. The Script-The Script

19. Death Cab For Cutie-Narrow Stairs

18. Black Kids-Partie Traumatic

17. Lady Gaga-The Fame

16. Vampire Weekend-Vampire Weekend

15. Hot Chip-Made In the Dark

14. Duffy-Rockferry

13. Q-Tip- The Renaissance

12. The Ting Tings-We Started Nothing

11. Wale-The Mixtape About Nothing

10. T.I.-Paper Trail

9. Jenny Lewis-Acid Tongue

8. Kanye West-808s & Heartbreak

7. MGMT-Oracular Spectacular

6. Lil Wayne-Tha Carter III

5. Santogold-Santogold

4. The Cool Kids-The Bake Sale

3. Chairlift-Does You Inspire You

2. N.E.R.D-Seeing Sounds

1. Girl Talk-Feed The Animals


...So, that's my first one! It was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be but still kinda fun! Don't take my order too much to heart, it's more my most enjoyed & listened to albums from this year.
It's interesting to see how much happens in music through a year when you spell it out like that though.
Sidenote: Albums that would have more than likely made my list, if they had been released already: Justin Timberlake-Mr. Timberlake & Common-Universal Mind Control. Oh wellz.

TO BE CONTINUED.

Gossip

One of my best friend's Danni just texted me saying that the girl from Gossip, aka Beth, was just on MTV. She texted reminding me of when we saw them open for Mates of State at the Starlight Ballroom a few years back. That night we had talked to her in the bathroom & she was so sweet. We even let her jump in front of us in line because she was playing next.

Anyway, I just felt like this girl needs to be commended for being so comfortable with herself. It's inspirational. If only I had half of the guts & self-esteem that this girl does.
Plus, she's still totally bad ass.



Slumdog Millionaire

I have not been to the movies in a long time. I think the last time was to see "Sex & the City", wow.
But a girl in one of my classes was talking to me about "Slumdog Millionaire;" she has an internship with Allied who did PR for the film in Philly. It's a Danny Boyle film (he did Trainspotting & 28 Days Later).
Apparently, it has a decent soundtrack too, a couple of M.I.A. tracks and what not.
I want to see it! Go with me!







PS. For shits & giggles, this cartoon is hilarious and perhaps a little too true in some circumstances.
