Actually, it's really well done!

The Great Chipmunk Adventure
Ah, Nostalgia.
I'm sure everyone has a movie that they watched over and over again as a child. For me, it was the Great Chipmunk adventure. I loved that show, and would beg my mom to rent it from the library over and over again, and then I would watch it as much as possible while it was rented. I had a book on tape version that I would listen to constantly. I loved that show so much.
You know how sometimes you watch a show you loved as a kid, only to realize it wasn't as good as you thought?
Well, not in this case. I watched The Great Chipmunk adventure again just barely, and it did not disappoint. For being made in the 80s, the animation was really good. The songs were catchy, and the plot was still doable. I loved watching it again just as much as a child.
For those of you who don't know what the Great Chipmunk Adventure is, it's an Alvin and the Chipmunk movie, back when they were first created. It also had the Chippettes, who were and still are my favorites. It is an adorable movie, and if you ever want to kill an hour and 12 minutes, I would definitely recommend you watch it!
Love and Sparkles,

Labels
If you take a look over to the left (your left), right under my profile, you will see a lovely gadget called "Labels"
This is if you want to look at specific things. Art posts will be tagged "art" and discussion posts will be tagged "discussion post" This way, you can view these things easier at any time.
Also, Just so you know, I suffer from severe anatidaephobia. It's very serious. I don't know how I function normally from day to day with this very crippling fear looming over my head.
Anatidaephobia is the fear that somehow, somewhere in the world, there is a duck watching you.
Love and Sparkles!

FLIP THE FREAKING TABLE
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stupid cliffhanger to be continued episodes!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRR!!
Anyway, I just watched the season premier of "The Mentalist" great tv show, by the way. AND I AM READY TO KILL SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!! (Notice that I said "something instead of "someone" I am going to seriously mangle a piece of paper, so that no innocent bystanders get injured) The episode was great, typical Jane. BUT THEN THE STUPID CLIFFHANGER WHERE YOU DON"T KNOW IF (Spoiler) character was murdered by red john or if he's just trolling. IT'S SO STUPID WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT A WHOLE WEEK TO KNOW THE ANSWER THIS IS KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I love Jane (His name is Patrick, btw, but his last name is Jane so that's what everyone calls him)
He has this big secret, and he told lisbon, and he said "don't tell anyone" But she tells Van Pelt, who then tells Rigsby, who tells Cho, because, in Rigsby's own words, "It wouldn't be fair if he were the only one on the team who didn't know."
But it was funny because the minute Van Pelt walks into the room, Jane sighs and looks at Lisbon and says, "You told her."
HOW AM I GOING TO MAKE IT TO NEXT WEEK???????? I WANT TO KNOW NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN'T KILL OFF (spoiler) IN THE FIRST EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd put Love and Sparkles, but it seems out of place

You're both right, gosh dang it!
Helloo! Long time no see!
Anyway, do you want to know what is confusing?
Archaeology. And not the digging up specimens part. The research and the articles part.
You see, people have to prove their claims of "This specimen proves that X people did Y thing." Anndd... Archaeologists love to prove each other wrong. Fervently and sometimes viciously. It reminds me of a nature video where a pack (School? Flock? Ravage??? Lets call it a ravage) A ravage of Squid (It just fits, no?) Tears apart a fellow ravagemate because it was acting tired. It was brutal.
So, to the point.
My archaeology teacher has us discussing and writing papers about a debate that is still going on today in Archaeology called the Clovis-first debate. This debate is about how early people came over to the Americas. Like a good, non-biased teacher, (She's really great, she never tells us what side she's on in any of the archaeological debate) she assigns readings from prominent archaeologists on both sides of the argument.
The problem?
First, technical articles are hard to read. Especially when they start talking about the bifacial fracturing of the lanceolate clovis points and I'm just like, "It looks like a rock...?"
Second, archaeologists are really good at research.
So, I read one article, and I'm thinking, "Holy cow, this guy is right! The original theory is wrong, they came from the Solutreans. Bingo. Problem solved, give this man an award."
And then, the other article, which is against the Solutrean theory, is amazing. It points out all of the places that the other guy has things wrong, or where he didn't provide all the information, etc. etc. However, all it does is prove him wrong, it doesn't provide a solution.
It's all very confusing, because both of the sides have good points, and it's hard to decide what to believe.
So, here's to confusing technical articles!

Today has been a doozy
And what a doozy of a doozy it was!
I had my first test in the testing center today.
Dun Dun DUUUUUN!
And it went over quite well, actually.
It was everything else that was the doozy.
You see, I love to wear all of my bat regalia-- well, not all of it-- but most of it. And, since this was my first test, I thought that, for prime testing performance, I would most definitely wear all of my bat jewelry. So, this morning I put on my lucky bat necklace, and its matching lucky bat earrings. And then I picked up my bags and started walking to campus...only to realize that I had forgotten my adorable lucky bat ring. Which is named Frederick. Frederick is especially lucky because he has a name, and he's fuzzy and I like to rub his belly when I get frustrated with a test problem. Don't judge.
Anyway, I didn't want my first test to be without Frederick, so I promptly turned around and went home to get him. I then made it back to school without any further incidence.
Then, at the library, I logged onto a computer with the intent of printing out an assignment due that day. I had emailed it to myself late the previous night just for that purpose. Well, when I got onto my email, lo and behold I had emailed myself....but had forgotten to attach the document. I had written "You need sleep" as the title. Apparently, seeing as I couldn't even email properly.
The testing center was open by then, so I decided that I would simply have to walk all. the. way. back. home. after my test. And that's a good half hour there half hour back kind of trip. I got out of my test (Which went splendidly, thanks for asking!) And it was almost 10 o' clock. I have a class at twelve; that would give me an hour for the trip, and then an hour to print/eat lunch/ brush up on the reading/ breath. I pull out my iPod so that I can be occupied for my long commute, and it's almost dead. That's simple, I already have to turn my computer on for my paper, I can just plug it in and charge it... which means that I won't have it for the rest of the day. That is a long walk without music, let me tell you.
So, I emailed it to myself without any more accidents, walked all the way back to school, and went to the JKB to print/get some food from the vending machine (They have sandwiches in those things! And ICE CREAM!!!) And I print of my paper and get some victuals. Then, I go to the MARB for my biology class. Absolutely nothing wrong there.
But then, in my archaeology class (All the way back in the JKB), where the assignment is due, I get to class barely on time, pull out my assignment and...
I'm missing the first page. I must have left it in the printer. I go and talk to the teacher, and she says that I can run and go print it. I sprint back to the printer I had printed on earlier, and some kind soul had removed the first page from the printer, and had left it there on the desk. Thank you, random stranger, for not throwing it away!!!!
And then I take the long walk home.
More stuff happened, but it's not quite as interesting (Well, it does involve walking in the rain without a coat but with an umbrella, but that's another story.)
Love and Sparkles!
