So, today isn't nearly as bad.  The rest of the family is here now.  My uncle's dog, I saw a good number of months ago when I could hold her with one hand.  Now, she's 5 months old and so much bigger, but ever so cute!  She used to look like this:

Not anymore!  I still love her so much though!  She's not that big, but much bigger than I remember.  If you start petting her, she'll just lie down and let you pet her.  I love her ears!  They're so floppy! ^_^  Sometimes she'll try to bite, but it doesn't hurt much.  When she grows a bit more, I'm sure it will though.  She's going to be a BIG dog.  I want to hug her all the time.  She's so soft and quiet. x3

Along with the puppy came my littlest cousins.  They're the cutest things.  Them + puppy = cute-plosion!  Yes, they own this dog.  They're all so much fun to play with. 

My other two cousins showed up and started fishing once they got unpacked.  Went out to take some photos of them and some other stuff.  Got an offer to fish with them and the moment the rod was handed to me, a fish got on the hook.  Unfortunately, it swallowed the hook and bled all over me as I tried to take the hook out (something that never happens because usually when we fish, my sister catches the fish and I just sit there with no luck).  So, my cousin stepped in and got the fish off for me.

We found out that one of our cousins, the same age as him can't watch people fish.  I asked her how she can eat meat and she told me that she can eat it, but she can't watch it get captured.  I don't know how this works considering any meat would have to be captured to be killed and eaten...She also tried to keep the fish that were caught alive by adding more water to the bin.  Not sure how this works.  It kind of died anyway...

Anyway, today isn't too bad.  Could be worse. 

More updates soon!

Why do I always end up with crap roommates?  Does this ENTIRE school year hate me or something? 

I'm not even at school anymore, but I'm living with people I can't stand.  It sound harsh, especially since what we're doing is staying at a cottage for a week with all of Mom's side of the family...well, just her siblings and their kids.  But, we just got here, and her youngest sister is with us.  Her 2nd husband, I suppose, is such a power-tripping chauvanist.  I mean, we get into the cottage, settle a bit and all I hear is, "No kids here, don't do this, women doing this..." BLAH, FREAKING BLAH! 

The worst thing is that this is only the beginning.  We just got here today and we're here for a week.  Somebody save me? Dx

I'm already in a horrible mood after that.  I'm hiding out in my room refusing to go downstairs or anything because I don't want to deal with people.  A few more people are coming tomorrow and I don't know when everyone else is supposed to be here. 

Of all the things he could be though, does my uncle really have to be like that?  If he shoos me away telling me, "No kids here."  I'm going to give him something to think about.  I mean, I'm 19!  I'm legally an adult.  Yes, he's my elder.  Yes, I should be respecting him too.  But, although younger, we deserve to be treated with respect and dignity too.  I mean, dear God!  We are people too.  We are here to have a good time, and the first thing he does is piss me off. 

Yeah.  Thanks a lot.

Looks like I'm going to be hiding out in my room a lot this week.  I'll keep you guys updated on how this all goes.

Wish me luck, and I really hope you guys are having a better time wherever you are than I am.

Gooooooddddddd day, everyone.  Good evening to those on this side of the planet. 
Today, my boyfriend and I hung around and went to watch "Total Recall."  It wasn't nearly as good as it's all hyped up to be.  It's basically a typical guy film: explosions, girls, explosions.  So, plot, a bit flimsy, and writing?  Well, that could have been much better. 
I would write a review for it, but I don't feel quite as strongly towards it as my boyfriend does.  Probably because I just see it as a typical guy film that's just used as an excuse to see explosions.  So if you guys want a review, I shall redirect you to his review.

After the movie, the two of us grabbed dinner and went back to his place where I met his cousins, aunt, uncle, and great aunt (his great aunt is so awesome.  I love her! =D)  After that, we went upstairs to his room, where we--finally, after quite a while--put Pokemon Gold on my phone. 
You sickos, we didn't do that!  We just got Pokemon on my phone, that's all.  So, since I've gotten home, I've been super torn about writing this post and playing...I've been jumping between the two for about a half hour now.  It's so bad how distracted I am. o.o But, the thing is, this is really new to me despite having grown up in the original Pokemon era.  I've really missed a lot.  I mean, the most I did was watch some of the episodes, I never played the games.  So, here I am now with Pokemon Gold on my phone and loving it. =]

Anyway, back to my game.  I'm sorry about the lack of posts lately.  To make it up to you, here is a picture of a sleepy corgi pup.

Stay awesome, guys!

I recently thought back to a short film that I saw last year before I made this blog and thought that you guys might enjoy it as well as another that I have found thanks to the comments on the first video.

They are both short and so sweet with quite a message. 

This video is about a little voodoo doll that has to build up the courage to do what he must to save his friends.  A sad, but ever so touching, short film. 

Now, this short film depicts a very true to life story.  It is both touching and sad, but in the most beautiful of ways. 

Hope you enjoyed them!

Hi all!

So, today, I talked to my boyfriend about one of his friends whom I've been talking to for a while.  This friend of his told me that at some point in time, my boyfriend went to go see the first "Twilight" movie with some friends of theirs.  Was I ever shocked.  He also told me that throughout the movie, my boyfriend gave it a few snorts and sarcastic remarks.

No, I'm not one of those girls that forced her boyfriend to watch it because I love Edward (I don't).  I am, however, the girlfriend that discovered that he watched this before he watched this one particular movie critic that made him ever so much more snarky about movies.  Boy, was he ever in for it.  Neither of us enjoyed the movie, but I somehow ended up with a copy of it.  So, we put it on, just to see his newer reactions to it.

The movie hadn't started yet, and I wasn't able to skip ahead to the menu to play it.  So, what does Boyfriend do?  He gets all snarky and sarcastic on the trailers!  I was SO entertained!  He ripped on movies that we weren't even going to watch.

Once the movie started, my sister and brother walked in.  There was talk happening over the first five to ten minutes of the movie.  When it finally quieted down, he slowly began to snort and give all sorts of remarks.  He questioned the part where Bella and Edward sat around the piano with no background information.  I don't think I actually realised how little sense that made without having read the book first.  For anyone who hasn't read the book, they wouldn't know that this is the part where Edward plays the lullaby he wrote for Bella.

I apologise to anyone out there who likes this movie, but really, the directing, acting, and staging could have been improved greatly.  But, then again...so could the story itself.

We had to end the movie early since Boyfriend had to go home.  So we'll be finishing it up tomorrow.  You'll probably be hearing more about it. =P

Oh, yeah.  He's really upset that they used Muse for the soundtrack of this movie.  He loves Muse.  I was sad to tell him that this is how I discovered both Muse and Paramore.  But mostly Muse since it's one of his favourite bands.

Hi Everyone!

As you probably know from the title (that is, if you read it) I'm DONE with the field school!  It was officially out this past Friday, but we still had a paper that is due today.  Finished it this morning at about 1:30 and woke up around 9:00 this morning.  I am SO tired.

BUT!  That's okay, because I am DONE!  I can sleep when I need to now and wake up whenever. 

I'm amazingly happy to be done, but I am going to miss all the people from the field school a lot.  It's sort of like U101, I guess.  I miss the people I was with, but I'm sure I'll see them again sometime, somehow.

Now, I have this entire week to worry about getting my wisdom teeth out on Friday...I have books from the library ready to go.  Sadly, we're low on bandwidth at home right now.  So it looks like I'll be reading, watching TV, and sleeping for most of those days.

I am soooo nervous. I don't like pain, the thought of pain, and--oh, yes--did I mention I'm squeamish?  Brushing my teeth is going to be interesting...and the gauze in my mouth?  Oh, dear...yeah...I have an easily triggered gag reflex too...

The surgeon said that I'll be getting a drowsy med and a non-drowsy med afterwards.  Mom is saying I should just keep on the drowsy meds so I can sleep through recovery and just not worry about things.  My siblings have already begun tormenting me, so I sort of don't want to be on drowsy meds.  But, we'll see. 

We're bringing Boyfriend along so he can help me to the car and whatnot.  I'm told that I'll be awake and coherent after the surgery, but I get the feeling that we'll just stumble to the car, into the house, and into bed.  Poor Boyfriend, just going to see me completely nervous, then all delirious. 

Hope he doesn't worry about me as much as I'm worrying about the surgery.  He has to work during the week while I recover.  He can see me over the weekend, but I might be sleeping the days away.  I don't know.  Depends if Mom really does want to keep me on the drowsy meds or not.

Anyway, I'll let you guys know how it goes.  Scared as heck right now. @_@

Hope you guys are doing well,

Dusk

Hi Everyone!

Happy June!  I know it's been a while, but hey, I'm kind of out every day to dig, so what can I do about it, right?  Anyway, I hope you're all doing well. 

The dig has been interesting.  Met some interesting people, I still don't know all the names of the people I'm with...I mean, I live in a house with 23 people and I STILL don't know all of their names. @_@  I'm brilliant, aren't I? xD  I thought that I would share one of my finds with you.  It was a piece of a mortar bomb shell!  Yeah!  Awesomeness!!!  It's so cool.  =P  Mind you, I didn't dig that up, but I did find it first!  My prof decided that he would help me dig my unit (those little square plots of dirt you see archaeologists sitting in all the time) that day since everyone was either surveying or in the lab, leaving only Danielle and I at our site with our TA.

Yeah, learned that I like digging my own unit best.  I know how the underlayer of dirt goes best.  I knew it was sloping up towards the northwest end, but my prof didn't and he just went at it making it all flat.  Indeed, I was awfully sad when that happened, plus, the unit seems so much less personal to me now...I am sad...on the other hand, ceramic pieces and a mortar bomb shell fragment...sooo I guess it's sort of a trade off? 

I thought this field school was just going to be digging, but it turns out that we have to write papers as well with limited Internet access.  I mean, we have to leave the house to get reliable Internet...It really sucks, but at the same time, I am learning and doing interesting things.  I just really wish we didn't have to do that since after a full day (8:30AM-4:00PM) of digging with an hour break at noon for lunch is extremely exhausting.  The pressure is seriously on because of the short amount of time that we are here.  I'm still not sure how I'm going to get that final paper in to my prof.  It's due the Monday after the field school is over AND he wants a paper copy...the university is far from home and my parents are working...well, I'm going to have to do my best to get it to him on the Friday before, I suppose.  Printing is going to be an issue though.  We'll see how that goes.

Anyway, I think that's all I have about that for now.  I'll definitely keep you guys posted as best I can!

Hope you're having an awesome time!
