It's a Random Day {6}

Image
So, I got my ish together and went and checked to see what number of "It's a Random Day" posts I was actually at . I haven't done as many as I thought I had. This must be remedied.  I seem to write all these posts at the times when I least  need to be doing them and doing other things, productive things like say, finish reading my history book or studying for my Mass Communications exam tomorrow.  But, instead, let me tell you about all the extremely exciting things that happened today (by extremely I mean not. I was being sarcastic. Sometimes I'm so dryly sarcastic that my friends at college don't know if I'm for real or not.) School-wise.... it hasn't been extremely gross I guess. But kinda blegh. I'm having a hard time getting into the groove with my design project (would you like a post about my design process at some point? sorry, really random. going back to the topic...), I'm kind of just done with clay at the mom...

January Recap

Image
Yoooo it's the end of January. It has been COLD.  The good thing about coldness and tons of snow though is that (at least this time) classes got canceled. Which is completely legendary at my school. So it was fun and kind of weird at the same time because I'm not used to that much free time when I'm away at school. :) I'm so happy about the amount of books I read. It's been a while since I've had such a good month. And I finally finished the Gallagher Girl series!! Still one of my all-time favorites, hands down.  The Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare, Sarah Brennan, & Maureen Johnson  ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪  ( my review )  A Gallagher Wedding by Ally Carter  ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ Out of Sight, Out of Time (Gallagher Girls #5) by Ally Carter  ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ (re-read) The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton  ✪ ✪ Winter by Marissa Meyer  ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ All Fall Down  by Ally Carter  ✪ ✪ ✪ ...

October Recap

Image
Books: I actually got to read a book this month. PRAISE. It felt really good to shirk my responsibilities and read it in like two days straight. Yes, kids, I'm the best role model ever. (assuming any kids read my blog) Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers.   ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪  This book was great. It's set in medieval times and romance was quite a big part of it so it kind of had that "predictable Medieval romance" feel to it (you know what I'm talking about right)...like every Christian medieval-setting romance? But the world, especially the world of the sisters, was built beautifully. And Ismae went through such amazing character growth. It was great watching her learn and mature. I likes it. Movies/TV Shows: Movies and TV shows (especially TV shows) have sustained me through my problems and homework which are basically the same thing. I've actually gotten to watch a fair amount of movies when I go home and shows when I'm at college (it leaves me with ...

Guest Post: K-Drama 101

Image
(You can read her other post "K-Pop 101" here .) Why hello there, my lovely little random friends. Tis I, the illustrious Ely who visited this blog many moons ago to educate you all about the wonders of kpop. Why, you might ask, is this strange and rather idiotic person back? Well, apparently Skylar liked my guest post skillz (or lack thereof), and she suggested I do a follow up post. On what? (says you) Haven't we covered everything we can cover about boys wearing eyeliner and absurd amounts of hair-dye? Ladies and zentlemen, let me introduce you to the joy known to man as...kdramas. My father calls them Korean soaps. I call them delicious time-wasting morsels. Wikipedia calls them "televised dramas in the Korean language, made in South Korea, mostly in a miniseries format, with distinctive features that set it apart from regular Western television series or soap operas." Wikipedia, you suck. Pack your bags and leave. Basically, an average kdram...
