I think we can all agree that sometimes it can be difficult to stay motivated in the summer. Personally, all I want to do is sit on the beach and drink a rum and Pina Colada flavored seltzer (the new WICKED Skinnie Girl cocktail. I know that's not how it's spelled but it's also trademarked the other way) Instead of doing that, however, I've been doing all sorts of things- like manning the phone at the Internships and Career Placement Office, dissecting mackerels in the Marine Biology lab that I'm retaking, and choosing to write about seeing the Decemberists for my Music Appreciation class, instead of an actual classical music ensemble like I was supposed to. There's a roommate switcheroo in the works, and I seem to find myself helping multiple friends mend their broken summer hearts (by singing Careless Whisper lyrics until I'm told to stop.) Yes, this summer is/will be decidedly more tame than the last few thanks to classroom obligations and more weddings than I expected. I'm happy for you all, really.
In other news, a recent meeting with my academic adviser sent my head spinning. I'm doing an internship this fall, I guess. At this moment, choosing an internship seems a little bit like deciding what the next five years of my life is going to be (or not be.) Do I choose an internship with a likely career path to follow? Or do I choose an internship that I'll more likely enjoy and have a less solid, um, path? The thought of going out and hitting the pavement, looking for a job is sounds totally crippling in lieu of the Bayside Bowl incident. But doing a job I don't love doesn't sound that appealing either.
Anyway, I thought I might do a quick roundup of some things that have been keeping me just distracted enough to get by.
I just went to the premiere of TV Show episodes 2 & 3. They don't seem to be online yet, but here's episode number one:
TV SHOW Episode 1 from Shoot Media on Vimeo.
Alec Baldwin's Twitter (@alecbaldwin). Here's an example from a few days ago. Read it from the bottom up:
Hello Giggles is a website partially founded by Zooey Deschanel. It's a bunch of awesome ladies writing about all kinds of awesome stuff, neatly organized by category. This post about nail polish got me hooked.
Occasionally looking at people's 'sets' and answering Style questions on Polyvore.com.
Dispatch Magazine has been pumping out information about music and film in Maine so fast I can barely read it.
The new season of Weeds just started, and the season of Treme is just ending.
Sending this recipe for a homemade Arnold Palmer to other awesome bloggers: Make one cup (8oz) of tea with two black tea bags and one tablespoon of honey. (I use honey from Urban Farm Fermentory, because I hear that local honey helps with allergies.) Let it cool while you brush your teeth/pack your lunch/get dressed/whatever. Add a cup of lemonade from the Santa Cruz/Newman's Own/premade or frozen lemonade already in your refrigerator. Then eight or so ice cubes, however many you need to cool this thing and fill your container.
Look at this great website: Creative Portland.
What've you been up to? What am I missing?
