As a sort of a disclaimer, I think I'm the person in this suite who reads the most blogs (AKA the loneliest) so I was feeling a lot of pressure to live up to these other sites and be incredibly funny or hip or artistic or charming or have a really cool layout. Then I realized these were unrealistic expectations so I think I'm just going to go the Ramsey route and keep it topical. I have also have been suffering conflicting feelings about the ladybugs (they're so cute until they bust out those wings, then they make me think of locusts) but since that topics been pretty well fleshed out already, I guess I will have to explore other suite issues.
Even though we all clearly have too much time on our hands, we have thus far been unable to get our shit together enough to get cable. We have a TV...well, Commisioner Gordon does and she's a generous soul. We have a big common lounge type situation with some marginally comfortable couches and chairs and a T.V. table which could be used for snacks, drinks, or feet resting although preferably not at the same time. We also have the finances, maybe not individually but collectively, to pay 30 dollars a month. Lastly, we have computers and internet which we could easily use to sign up for cable from the University provider. So why don't we have cable yet?
Because we are lazy. I don't want to point fingers I'll stick with the suite member I know best: me. I am so lazy that I let my laundry sit in the washing machine for eight hours yesterday because I lacked the motivational drive to go downstairs and put it in the dryer, thus necessitating that I wash all my clothes a second time because they had been sitting in cold water for wight hours breeding moldy smells. They are currently in the washer again but the chances of me going down to switch them are slim. I am also so lazy that I do not use the beautiful plates we bought at Target because that would make an extra dish to wash. I just eat out whatever pot I cooked in. I was too lazy this morning to wake up before ten. It's almost two and I'm still not dressed yet (waiting on that laundry!!) And it occurs to me now, that all this time I'm spending posting could have easily been used to order cable. Or you know, do homework or apply for jobs.
I'm not sure what to do about this flaw now that I've identified it because it's fairly well ingrained into my approach to life. Also, it's being reinforced by this yoga class from hell that I'm taking with E.L. where the instructor continually tells us to free our mind from stress and distraction. This is the only part of the class I'm doing well in, my ability to maintain physical yoga poses is debatable.
Anyhoo, between homework, laundry, ladybugs, and cable, I have a lot on my plate today so I'm going to end here and have some tea or wine or something. Further updates on the cable situation to follow.

We were supposed to have a party with shots of liquor, shots of juice, and aluminum cans of wine. We were forced by a bitter gypsy woman (at left) to cancel. such is life. But facebook sucks big floppy donkey dick, so even though we canceled the party yesterday afternoon, no one got the email about the cancellation until after 9pm. and the poorly spelled, playfully ironic message explaining the cancellation didn't show up in my inbox until 4:47 am... 7 hours after the party was supposed to start.
