Braces

Yes, I just posted like 5 minutes ago but I forgot to mention this. My braces came off yesterday! Horray!! I have straight teeth now..well again. This was my second time for the bottom teeth. I know, I know I suck.

...Now this time I have to remember to wear my retainer. Someone better keep me in line for that...

Blogovia and Cromanzia

It's been a while but Matt and I have once again had an interesting conversation to blog about. Namely for the following statements of brilliance:

Kelly: we're going to have pillow fights
Kelly: in lingere
Kelly: that's the truth
Matt: ... i hate you

and..
Matt: whole countries have been lost when in pillow wars
Matt: ever heard of cromanzia? GONE
Kelly: YOU?!
Matt: muahahaha
Kelly: You are the dreaded Mattemeo, destroyer of cromanzia?!

and...
Kelly: ever heard of blogovia?
Matt: you mean the origin nation of the blogosphere thought to be lost forever?
Kelly: yeah, I did that.
Matt: you bastard!
Kelly: I leveled that bitch like a pokemon.

This, folks, all spawned from me talking about the women's choir retreat I'm leading tomorrow. It's relatively impressive that we went from women's choir retreat to growing ovaries to conquering countries to awesome wordplay.

The next batman villains?

For those of you who were wondering which villains were next in line for the Batman movies...

As always, consider the source. And while I absolutely love Johnny Depp in every way, I'd rather see David Tennant or Neil Patrick Harris as the Riddler. I think Johnny Depp could be too serious for this but I've been wrong before. I also thought Heath Ledger was a terrible choice and I ate my words on that.

As for Hoffman as the Penguin...well don't hold your breath.

I wouldn't count him out yet but I'm an optimist like that. I think he could be a very interesting choice for the Penguin but my hope is that they make him more mafioso than grotesque like they did in the Burton film. I actually thought Danny DeVito was brillant as the Penguin but that approach wouldn't really work in this new film series. It's almost too supernatural or out there to fit. If they make the Penguin more like a powerful mafioso/business man with a lot of connections, I think Philip Seymour Hoffman could be excellent. We'll have to see.

In a general life update, school has started up again which means, busy busy busy. I started out with 19 hours but I'm down to a managable 16 now so that's lovely. The workload is a bit more challenging as it's mostly science classes but I think I'll do ok.

I have a NEW job. Yes, again, but this one doesn't involve me working for an asshole. I'm working at a marketing firm specializing in audio advertising. My job as intern will be to write scripts for messages when you're on hold with a company on the phone. Exciting stuff, I know. Still, it's a job and it's not as demanding as previous jobs so I'll take it!

My love life hasn't changed too much really. But I'm relatively okay with this. With the men in my life, I don't really need a boyfriend. Although I certainly wouldn't mind dating again.

Let's see...what else is going on... yesterday I was voted President in my Women's Choir, go me! So far this semester is shaping up to be a good one, let's hope it stays that way!
