HOKAY THEN.
Alright, it’s official: I AM ALIVE AND WELL.
Richard called me and said that he just didn’t get a chance to get into the office on Friday, so he just wanted to make sure my project was there - NOT that it was inexplicably missing.
That being said… my quarter is shaping up to be all As (possibly one B, depending on how he grades that project… I’m right on the border of A and B in that class though).
I’ll be getting back into the swing of things Tumblr-wise soon, though. I’ve missed you guys! <3
windycitygirl:
me: I see your tumble.
James: You do? Do you raise me a tumble?incline: That being said, I chose to beat the horse rather than mourning its death.
“Get it, Jen? Get it? It’s a poker joke.”
“Get it?”
Yeah. She got it.
i need school to be overrrrrrrrr. i’ll return to tumblr when i actually have time for anything.
Maybe Graduate School?
theavant-gardeplaylist: I think I’ve made up my mind, I want to live in Iceland. Maybe for Graduate School.
eastling: I may have said this [several, several] times, but I am TOTALLY LIVING IN ICELAND after I graduate. Slowly picking up the language; I even made my Facebook default language Íslensku to help me out. I’m going to visit sometime this summer, too. SO SO EXCITED.
theavant-gardeplaylist: No way!! I’m right now studying Icelandic for my linguistics project. I can tell you now I’ve already fallen in love with it. There’s so many things that come from that country that are absolutely awesome; Sígor Rós, Ólafur Arnalds, beautiful Icelandic women :P. I’m studying abroad in Russia my undergraduate courses. I recently switched my major to Russian. If I make enough money, I’m planning on going to Iceland for graduate school. Slavic and Scandinavian/Norwegian cultures are quite wonderful. I have facebook in Russian too, great minds think alike.
eastling: What are you using to learn Icelandic?? I’m desperately trying to find an effective resource, but right now all I have is a hodgepodge of random Icelandic blogs, a really terrible translation site, and an Icelandic-English online dictionary (but it doesn’t work English-Icelandic and I don’t get the grammar AT ALL). I’m thinking about living in Iceland for a while, and then going to grad school in Oslo. Scandinavia is, I think, my favorite corner of the world… possibly because of my own ancestry, haha!
theavant-gardeplaylist: I have an Icelandic Primer written by Henry Sweet, you can get it online for free or I can send it to you in an email. (mine is rrosenthal@liberty.edu) It may be a little difficult for a non-linguist to read, being that most of the book is written for a linguist, but they have stories at the end of the book in Icelandic and a breakdown of every word. It’s extremely useful, being that there’s not much learning materials for this particular language save for yourself actually studying in Iceland. I’m also using a book on colloquial Icelandic, which is pretty helpful. I’ve been using ANKI (spaced repetition flashcard maker-ma-jig) to memorize everything. If you can speak French, Assimil also has a course in Icelandic. [I haven’t started that yet, as my French isn’t as good as my English yet] I believe the school in the link above is free to attend, being that Iceland’s colleges are government run, kinda like France. I’m not sure how that would work for international student though. I’m still researching. Scandinavia is a pretty awesome location, I definitely want to live in that section of the world for some time. We should both help each other with Icelandic.
Yeah, we definitely should! I’m going to email you about that primer right now, too. Thank you so so much!
kaylaclarke: Arial & Helvetica
theavant-gardeplaylist: I effen hate Arial font with a passion
kaylaclarke: Arial font effen hates YOU with a passion ;)
theavant-gardeplaylist: It’s overused and just a plain eyesore….every viral making college student uses arial
Something I noticed the other day: Tumblr’s sans-serif is Arial.
True story.

(via bon-bon)
This is great, but where is the credit to the photographer? On any of the photos you’ve posted?

naziek: 56% man but quite gender neutral. Nice!
andrewvache: 77% man. Take that, every asshole in high school who said I wasn’t manly enough!
samflower: mahaha. 57% dude. awesome.
81% chick. I am okay with that.
Getting to know Tumbloggers.
What the heck. I’m waiting for my laundry to dry so why not.

Hmmmm...
walpaper: What to watch tonight?Being John Malkovich, definitely. One of the best films ever.
Ciao...
walpaper: I was an avid reader of Archie Comics. I confidently say that I was more into Archie & The Gang than you were.
Sometimes Betty or Veronica would say, “Ciao!”
I thought it was pronounced “see-eye-ah-oh”
Carry on.
Oh my gosh. Me too. Not from Archie Comics, but there was this other book that I read, and the girl would occasionally say “ciao”, and I pronounced it the exact same way in my head.
Things I Don't Understand And Definitely Am Not Going To Talk About
This is the best Tumblr because it approaches life in the exact same way that I approach life: bulleted lists.
okayjokesover: do you know how hard i laughed when i read about r.pattz apparently playing dali in a new biopic in the paper this morning? yeah, i bet you can guess. the answer is: “SO HARD I NEARLY FELL OFF MY CHAIR/SNORTED COFFEE UP MY NOSE. AND BY NEARLY I MEAN DID. FOR THE SECOND ONE ONLY.”semisetadrift: “Dalí Pattinson, you can razor my eyeballs any day, baby (snort, giggle, moustache twirl-and-groom)”.
This is almost better than Nick Cave’s handlebar ‘stache. No wait, it is better.
unicornology: i just had a good look at that photo of r.pattz’s dali-esque make-over and LOLOLOL.
eastling: HAHAHA SERIOUSLY. Robert Pattinson as Dali has got to be the most ridiculous idea I have ever heard. And that is the most ridiculous stache I have ever seen.
ohmaninternets: Only three men really have what it takes to play Dalí. These are, of course, Christopher Walken, Samuel L. Jackson and Jackie Chan.
That is the undeniable, absolute truth.
samflower: Will someone please tell me if these are terribly ugly or terribly cool??? I’m back and forth about it, and no I don’t trust my own taste. Oh and make it snappy, ebay waits for no man.I vote cool. I mean, teal is never not awesome.
samflower: I can’t figure out how to logout of tumblr.
Is this just not an option?
It’s bad when I leave digital imagery class for 4 days, and can come back to this computer and STILL be logged in.I should know the answer to this….
Click on Account on the menu bar. It’s there. :]
