So there was a promo for the new season of The Office during the mini-marathon last night. IT WAS EPICALLY AMAZING. like that one scene in "Chair Model", I had to re-watch it a few more times just to make sure it was actually there and I wasn't dreaming. AND NOW I HAVE NO WORDS AND I JUST WANT THE NEW SEASON TO BE HERE RIGHT NOW INSTEAD OF TWO WEEKS AWAY. (Relatedly, how awesome is Holly?)

Dad took the day off work today to do some stuff around the house, so we hung out together since I didn't have class. He took me to lunch at Panera and we chatted about various College-related things. We talked about what I could do with a degree in Broadcasting and whether or not Graduate School would be beneficial. And I told him I wanted to minor in Political Science and he approved. Then we went to the bank so I could get my investments transferred from Dad's account to mine, and get a credit card! I rarely get to hang out with Dad these days, so it was nice to spend time with him.

There has been some EPIC FAILURE regarding the local Obama campaign. I went to a coffeehouse downtown to attend a meeting and ended up spending over an hour there just sitting around waiting. Seriously, NO ONE SHOWED UP, and there was no one I could call to find out what was going on. And I was forced to buy a frozen coffee drink so they wouldn't kick me out. I didn't even drink have of it because it was so strong and my mouth felt awful. So I walked over to the library and hung out there until Mommy could pick me up. Note for next time: find out who I need to contact, and make sure that someone will be there.

I worked on a little bit of homework today, and by a "little bit" I mean I only did my English survey (there was a question on the uses of who/whom and made me think of that scene in "Money") and printed out instructions I need for my Speech project (in which I teach the class how to make peanutbutter&jelly). I was so unproductive today because I didn't go to bed until almost 2:30 last night and didn't get up&going until 11 AM, and Dad and I went out at Noon. So tomorrow, I'm going to be a busy little bee, doing several chapters of Stats and reading lots of different things.

I think the new iPods are really pretty with their variety of colors (I really like the purple and green ones), but they seem really impractical for watching videos, which is what MacTaylor has been used for as of late. One of the tech insiders has said they're more like the 2nd Generation ones in that they're small and practical for working out. And MacTaylor is not (and I found out the hard way that he can not play videos in HD. Which sucks, but I really don't think I'd notice the difference.) Which reminds me that he has not been to the Gym yet. I've had plenty of opportunites to go, but things have come up. I've got to rectify that soon.

I flipped through Entertainment Weekly's Fall TV preview issue at the library and made a list of all the shows I'll be watching, as well as their premiere dates and times. I have to change my School schedule (since I switched classes), and while I'm doing that I can work out my TV schedule. I'll post it sometime tomorrow.

I watched all of Season 1 of The Office earlier today (it really takes me back, and it's interesting to see how drastically things have changed), and I have Season 7 of The West Wing put on hold at the library. I've been wanting to watch it for some time (I haven't seen any of it since it was on NBC, and I miss it) and I find it incredibly fitting at this time, as the two Presidential candidates on The West Wing are eerily similar to the ones in real life.

I've only made a small dent in my Matt&Harriet picspammy project. I collected all the screencaps, but I've only edited about 25 of them. The editing process, while very simple, is incredibly tedious. And I still have to put them all together and post them. I've just so busy the past few weeks with the start of College, but I've been working on them when I can. I just hope I can make the September 30th deadline.
