TV helps make friends!

Today I had my History of Ideas lecture and tute. It's the one tute Jacinta and I are in together. Today we were chatting to this girl who is in the tute/lect with us, and who is also in Jacinta's media class. Anyways..we chatted most of the day, and sat with her in both rooms. And while waiting to go into the tute, she noticed my Crossing Jordan t-shirt that I was wearing today. And of course she's a fan! It's so much fun to wear shirts and find people with similar interests. I said I'd send her my CJ fanfiction, as she was annoyed with the lack of Jordan and Woody happily ever after - as was I!

It's nice to meet new people. :)

Once more, killing time between classes. Doing a selection of uni and non-uni related things. Got an assigment due next week, it's a writing piece. It's practically done, just needs some cleanup editing really. I also have a minor essay due in 2 weeks. So I am starting to collect books...or at least trying to pick a topic to write about!

Last night I was just watching eps of Dawson's Creek and very early Friends. -One comment I have, or observation really (which I suppose should really be on my other blog), was that the Friends episode was the pilot and the 3 after that. Something I noticed in the pilot was that almost all the dialogue was JOKES. Which from just having finished season 10 a week or so ago, seemed very strange. Everytime someone said anything, they said it as a joke..and then that joke was one up-ed. It was funny to listen to the audience (not sure if there was an actual audience or just a laugh track...I'd assume there'd be an audience for pilot...but you know what they say :P) to see how much they laughed, and what they laughed at, and how some jokes got louder laughs than others.

I think it's the damm media student coming out in me.

By the way, I am totally obsessed with the whole Australia getting TIVO thing. I just hope it ends up being worth getting by the time we get it. -Like will it work with foxtel? or will it not cost an arm and a leg to get!...and most importantly will it NOT stuff up! ...but I do like the idea that you can set it to start recording a show 5-10minutes before it's supposed to start. -That's a very handy feature. ...plus then you can tape all the episodes you want to a tape or dvd...meaning less space wasted, less tapes wasted, and you can cut out the ads too!

I guess today's post has taken a media focussed turn...but that's what happens when I post on a Media class day!

Today it was around 25 degrees. Beautiful for an August day in Melbourne. Perfect T-shirt weather. I was going to wear one of my Wonder Woman tees, but I was wearing my low jeans, so I changed into my Heroes t-shirt that says "Save the Cheerleader...save the world." After a while, one of the guys in my writing fiction class asked me about it. It seems that mostly guys know Heroes. -Interesting. lol.
I was slightly freaked when I had to explain what I meant about all the shows coming back, meaning starting new seasons at the end of September. Sometimes I really forget that not everyone thinks the same way I do! ...I know a lot of people who are thankful for that one!

So I've been playing around with the layout and colorsceme (so not the correct spelling...but I don't care) for the blog. I've settled on something festive and mixed of many of the colors I like. -sometimes change is good. But mostly it's bad. lol.

Filling Time

Here I am at Uni. I was up at 7am this morning, it was only 3 degrees when I got up. -I was FREEZING! I am now filling time in between my Media in Australia lecture and tute. I just finished a reading summary for one of my other classes. I still have 2 more to go before tomorrow. -Hopefully I will get through them tonight.
Right now I'm in the basement of the library, where there are people everywhere doing all sorts of things in this huge computer lab. There was music playing before, and weird sounds that people are listening to on the net.
There is a window right behind the computer, and I can see a very blue sky outside..it's warm in here, but I wonder how cold it is out there. -I'll find out in a few, cause I am meeting up with Jacinta for lunch.

I totally forgot about Chad's 12 of 12 this month. Ness asked me if I had done it Sunday night, but I guess I spaced this month. oh well. I'll make an effort to remember next month.

I'm addicted to Youtube at the moment, but probably not for the reason that many people are. -I couldn't care less for all the random vids of crazy kitties or stupid people doing weird things. I'm addicted to watching all the talk show interviews of people from my tv shows. Particularly Grey's and Gilmore Girls. I've also been watching the official music vids for Grey's too. -I just finished season 1 last week, and now I really really want season 2..and also for season 4 to start. But I need to save my money and wait until things become cheap. Cause there are WAY too many dvds that I want coming out leading up to Christmas.

I'll be good.

Doh!

So last week was my first week back at Uni. Some of it was good, some was really crappy. But that was to be expected. lol.
I have a 4-day week this semester, which is a day more than last semester. Mondays I do get to start way late in the day though, not till 12:30pm, so I get to sleep in and relax/watch some telly in the morning. Tuesdays and Wednesdays kinda suck, I have to get up around 7am, cause it's easier to go with my mum in the morning, than leave at the same time and walk to the station. I finish at 2 on Tuesdays and 12 on Wednesdays. Thursdays I'm there from 10:30-2.
I have Tuesday mornings with Kelly and Jacinta, and Thursdays with Jacinta, and Kelly for the lecture in the morning. Monday's is writing Fiction, which looks a little scary, but cool. I think my thursdays are going to be the slightly boring days. I will probably need coffee Tues-Thurs.

In other news, I am hoping to get my new bed soon. I know what I want, I just need to pull the money together and go to buy it!
OOo speaking of buying things, my dad got his new car a few weeks ago, it's quite shiny. Mum's is still coming.
No holiday plans. -Just going for my licence...whenver I book in for that. I've had 2 lessons so far. It's looking good. I hope! haha.

Anyhoo...I should probably get to some of my reading...grrr.
Toodles
