caviarlavar: here in Virginia :[ A tree fell onto an apartment..killing an 11-year-old boy. Police said the large tree fell on Brookridge Apartments on Fairfax Avenue just after noon,  pinning the boy. A crane was brought in to remove the tree so rescuers could reach him. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities said a woman, perhaps the child’s mother, was helped from the apartment. My condolences to that boy’s family. :(

bohemea: Josh Brolin & Javier Bardem kissing at the Oscars, February 27th 2011 Dammit! I knew something wonderful was happening when Josh & Javier came out on stage in matching tuxes & started slow dancing together. Then the camera cut to Penelope & we were robbed of pleasure. Supposedly the kiss was unscripted & since the camera was set to cut to Penelope it did, but who knows. All I know is that this kiss actually airing would have made the broadcast way more fun & memorable.

Fuck the snow. (Excuse my language.)

I fucking sat for 4 hours trying to get home. I made it less than a mile off campus (it took me an hour and a half to even GET OFF campus). I finally, after 3 or so hours of moving 500 feet, crying, snapping at my mom on the phone, and feeling suicidal- a first for me, found an opening to cut across 2 lanes and turn around. A small Toyota truck in front of me almost got stuck (I’m in my lime green Beetle, fyi), and 20 minutes later I park in the shopping center parking lot across from school, that was 4 inches deep in snow and counting. I frantically call my friend from the McDonald’s where other refugees are waiting it out. I ask her if she can take me in and walk a mile to her dorm. So here I am now, in my valiant friend’s dorm (thank God she’s an RA and has a roomy single), with no change of clothes, no toothbrush, just whatever I brought to school today plus a blanket from my car. Thankfully she and a friend had some food I could eat, since this saga eclipsed dinnertime. For 4 hours the only two words in my head were “shitfuck.” I can’t even enjoy the snow; I’m too traumatized.

Bleh. Thank God for amazing friends. ♥
