In my world you wouldnt say "Meow". Youd say "yes Miss Alice"

I get 2-3 emails a day from my advertising advisor full of internships and job positions that they've found for students in the LA area. For a while they'd pile up in my inbox and I was thinking they were annoying junk mail with nothing for me because I'm not specializing in public relations, but I took a look at some of these the other day and I found a great intership to apply for. It is at LACMA (Los Angeles county museum of art) for 12 weeks.

So I finally got around to going to Amoeba yesterday. I've decided that all day monday I am going to study for art history, but this weekend I can have fun. I bought the elliott smith cd that I had been wanting, the one that was just recently released after he died. Then I bought the Strokes cd. I was supposed to get a copy of it from someone, but that never happened so I just ended up buying it. A disney treasures case caught my eye and I bought that too. It's the Mickey Mouse cartoons from 1928-1935 so it includes Steamboat Willie and all the really early ones. It has commentary from Leonard Maltin and some other disney experts. They also had The War Years which was when a lot of the animators were being called to serve in the army and Walt had to stop production on major film projects, he started producing US propaganda films using the Mickey Mouse + friends characters. But I didn't buy it. Maybe next time.

My roommates and I went to dinner for Brigitte's 20th birthday yesterday. SO weird to think we're 20 already. I've known brigitte since I was 7. It was a nice restaurant in the valley and they had the best tiramisu ever. My birthday is in 2 months and 1 day. It's sad because my roommate, Megan, is leaving to Washington DC for next semester. She's been a great roommmate this year and now I'm dreading the thought of getting a random roommate. It didn't work out so well last time and the possibilities for disaster are endless. She could fall asleep at 7 pm everynight, or play loud goth metal all day, or do drugs, or like Britney Spears, or have a boyfriend who is here all the time, or plaster her side of the room in the kind of pictures of babies and kittens you see in doctor office waiting rooms, or be really really messy. Or all of the above. I wish I could have a single and then i would stay in my room reclusively and not have to worry about trying to make friends with another roommate. So when I come back to school from winter break, there could possibly be a stranger in my room. Grrrr.
