yes another meme!
A flickr mosaic, to be specific. It was fun finding the pictures, and I was surprised by how well I thought they went together, once I saw the finished product. (And the recurring themes: dimly lit shots of brunettes and anthropomorphic food, anyone?)  It starts with a survey: - What is your first name? Kat
- What is your favorite food? peanut butter toast
- What school did you go to? Stanford University
- What is your favorite color? burgundy
- Who is your celebrity crush? Alec Baldwin
- Favorite drink? Diet Squirt
- Dream vacation? Berlin
- Favorite dessert? Carrot cake
- What you want to be when you grow up? Hostess
- What do you love most in life? bed
- One word to describe you: ENTHUSIASM!
- Your nickname? K
To make your own: Step 1: Go to flickr.com Step 2: In another window open http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/mosaic.php Step 3: Choose 4 columns, 3 rows Step 4: Answer the following questions in the search bar of flicker.Pick your favorite one on the first page and paste it into your mosaic I chose to ignore the keyword when choosing my pictures. Maybe the one word to describe me should have be "easily distracted?" Or maybe "has trouble counting to one." | | Sunday, December 21st, 2008 | | 3:58 am |

not a meme (but not substantial)
omg. i just made the best latkes. THE BEST LATKES! the secret was combining half shredded potatoes with half mashed (slash food processored really smooth) potatoes, to create a thick, soft latke with some architectural oomph. oh who are we kidding. the secret was frying them in about a quart of oil. Current Mood: jew...ish?Current Music: wish i were listening to hava nagila. | | Monday, October 6th, 2008 | | 11:21 pm |
woo obligatory meme! 1. Grab the nearest book. 2. Open the book to page 56. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the text of the next seven sentences in your journal along with these instructions. 5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST. also, just so you know, i am hugely martyring myself here, because i'm only on, like, page two of this book. from "the strictest school in the world: being the tale of a clever girl, a rubber boy and a collection of flying machines, mostly broken" by howard whitehouse. (no points for guessing it's a slightly gothic kids' book about clever orphans and their asshole guardians.) "Well, p'raps not a thousand. But a good long life in amazin' fit fashion. You'll probably fall off a cliff when you're hunting for gulls' eggs on your hundrd-and-fifteenth birthday."
Rubberbones made a mental note to spend all his birthdays after a hundred and fourteen quietly indoors. He was a very literal sort of boy.
The Gypsy was tracing the mucky creases of Rab's palm. "Wait a minute."
And what they were waiting for, we'll never know. Also, sweet, this book has gypsies! I'm psyched.

roald dahl
Yes Sept 13 is his birthday. Read a book in tribute. Because, seriously, is there any better way to while away a few pleasant hours? Last year I read "Danny Champion of the World" -- this year, I've got The Twits, Fantastic Mr. Fox and, time permitting, Matilda lined up. Truly the only thing I love more than complaining about being unemployed is actually being unemployed. | | Saturday, September 6th, 2008 | | 10:46 am |
courtesy of le finq, of course
Comment and I'll give you a letter; then you have to list ten things you LOVE that begin with that letter. Afterward, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own. I was given:

4. Robert Downey, Jr.
5. Roast beef on rye (with hoRseRadish cheddaR)
6. Roald Dahl
7. Robertson, Ed (along with Page, Steven and all other members of Barenaked Ladies)
8. Reading in bed, ignoring whatever I'm supposed to be doing
9. Really bad television (holla atcha, Gossip Girl)
10. Roughage (don't hate -- fiber is important and none of us is getting any younger. plus, I'm out of Rs.) Current Mood: goofy | | Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008 | | 12:33 pm |
words of wisdom from the new 90210 (awesome)
"why are porn dudes always so freaky?" "this is sick. i mean, disgusting, but also sick." Universal truths, kids. UNIVERSAL TRUTHS. Whoa, though, it lost some points for the phrase: "I'm breaking up with us," uttered non-ironically during a break-up. Yuck. Also, a girl jets to San Francisco on a date, and she gets found out when ... her mother finds a matchbook with a restaurant name and "San Francisco" on it?! Really? If you found that, you'd jump right to "oh, I guess she flew to San Francisco"?! You wouldn't start, I don't know, with an anti-smoking lecture or something? This show is absurd. I love it. | | Thursday, July 3rd, 2008 | | 12:11 am |
no angst
Today was the perfect day. Bummed around reading children's books all day, was actually a little productive, planned a party. Then J and I saw Wall*E (the subplot with the humans was bad and lame and heavy-handed, but most of the movie and especially the beginning was BEAUTIFUL -- I started crying about ten minutes in and just didn't stop; you wouldn't think a movie so cute could get at the loneliness and futility of existence in such a poignant way...), took a beautiful twilight stroll, went out to dinner. We ended the night sharing a cone of frozen custard, sitting in the car listening to LoveLine, making each other laugh and just having crushes on each other like kids. Except unlike being a kid, I'll go to bed with him and wake up with him and we'll have bad times probably in the near future but they won't feel so bad because we have hopefully a lifetime more of moments like this together. Although, back to being like a kid, I will be reading a book called "Once Upon a Blue Moose" until I go to sleep...

Writer's Block: Google Me
Every single day, man, like taking a vitamin. Almost all of the couple-hundred responses (all me, baby! my name isn't very common) are various cross-listings of the scores of lame articles I've ground out for the school paper slash my job last summer. Although I have found a couple of interesting things, like people blogging about my blog, that I was a source in a Wiki article and, most notably a few years ago, my current boyfriend. Gosh. | | Tuesday, November 20th, 2007 | | 9:00 am |
take me baby or meme me
Sorry, guys. It's not like I need to post a meme. It's not like I want to post a meme. But Finke did it so I'm basically required by law. Directions: 1. Put your iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc. on shuffle. 2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer. 3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS.

I'll tell you something I like about you. 5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory about you. 6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of. 7.

finke ftw
* Go to Career Cruising, www.careercruising.com * Put in Username: nycareers and Password: landmark. * Take their "Career Matchmaker" questions. * Post the top twenty results * Put the careers you have seriously considered in bold * Italicize any careers you've had * Bold Careers you are interested in I'm also going to asterisk the ones that I occasionally daydream about but am too realistic to consider pursuing. Not bad. Man, though, they really lost me with that last one. Current Mood:  chipper | | Saturday, September 15th, 2007 | | 2:15 am |
first meme of the season
I stole this crappy old internet meme from my sister and now I'm doing it instead of writing my honors thesis. Ha, yes, this is my first livejournal post of the year and I waste it on something pathetic. Whateves. You know you're all dying to know whether I prefer Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. Just kidding. If you don't know something that fundamental, then you'd have no reason to read this.

a year in review
Take the first sentence (or 2) from the first post of each month of 2006. That's your year in review. I'm going to do mine from my real blog instead of this mess, naturally: January: I was racking my brains trying to come up with a clever way to enumerate precisely why this year was so awesome, and finally settled on "a year in numbers" -- y'know, how many cigarettes, how many hair colors, how many sets of satin sheets. And I started it, really I did, but it got old fast. February: Three things I know to be true: 1) Whenever people at the bank say, "Sorry miss, I can't do that," they are lying. March: Oh yeah, I forgot. Even if I don't know what I'm doing, there's a decent-sized body of empirical evidence to suggest I somehow miraculously blunder into being fairly good at it. April: Little bit of happy news from yesterday: my application essay to Stanford ended up getting included in one of those dippy Maybe Reading a Whole Bunch of Whiny Personal Statements Will Help You Get Into Harvard books last year. May: This mono is doing loopy things to my head. We held Chekhov class outside today because the weather was so nice; these monstrously huge bristly caterpillars with black horned antennae kept falling onto my collar bone or racing onto my feet. June: I know this doesn't make the most compelling reading -- it's not terribly amusing to live either -- but I found my keys on Tuesday. They were in my backpack. July: Morning, bedroom, sunrise, aspirin, Glaring and meaningless light, Go on and sleep another quarter hour: Nothing will change. There is no way out. August: I've asked a few non-Russian Russian literature professors about this phenomenon -- why Russians always say "in two words" then proceed to speak their minds in a number of words somewhere between three and a novella -- and not received a straight answer. I heard a few synonyms for "shortly" that they thought it could be bad translation for, but seriously, dudes, this idiom comes up in everything. September: Wow, I haven't been this terrible about updating for a while. This will not be much of a reprieve. October: Tonight I had my first real moment as a Muscovite. November: My love for Moscow and missing of home are about equal right now. I need my boy like zombies need brains. December: Last night I had a strange fever-like dream, during which I several times almost strangled myself with my own sheets. Wow, you can accurately see me get more depressed as the year progresses; also, man, June is the best.

I am so scared and lonely. I'm so goddamn sick of saying goodbye. I had a good time at the hair salon today, though, telling the stylist about Russia -- she asked why my boyfriend wasn't coming with me, and I told her that he already has a job; his job should be traveling with me to Russia, but apparently it doesn't pay well. Why must I flirt with every living woman in the service industry, yet remain totally unable to communicate with girls in my prospective social group? I think giving money to people after we interact makes me feel more in my element. Oh my jesus, you see the things I resort to thinking about to distract myself from my lonely bed? I don't want to go. Current Mood:  lonely |
