studying pays off kids. may not always be the case, but every now and then spending most of a day reading from a textbook can actually be good for you. i think i did a fine-ass job on that test just now. boo yah.

whenever i hear or find myself saying “boo yah” (rarely, don’t worry), i always think of the tomacco episode of the simpsons. “props to mindy on the grab!” . . . .

well anyhow, a job well done on a test warrants a night of straight up, full on relaxing. nothing school related will be done tonight. lord no. oh, and today in the mail i finally found the french version of the amelie poster that i bought myself for my birthday — in january. note to fellow bloggers: ordering stuff from some dude in germany and selecting “ground shipment” entails much patience. but i am very pleased with my purchase. say what you will about the film; i don’t care. i’m asserting my right to enjoy a sappy-sweet romance in french with an adorable central character, and to subsequently hang a poster of said adorable girl on my wall, only with a french title to prove that i’m cultured (but the title rhymes in french! it really is cooler that way!)

final note and clarification. when i said last night about not wanting to get a joe-job for the summer, my friend joe read it and thought i was referencing a conversation we had had about summer jobs. i had thought that the phrase “joe-job” was pretty standard verbage for run-of-the-mill unfulfilling employment, but if this was not the case for you consider this my explanation. and, if you are joe and you are reading this, that may not have been a reference to you, but this is:

“joe is so hardcore people are afraid to stand next to him. they see him and they’re just like, ‘whoa, that’s joe, i better back up.'”

i (heart) joe.
