erratic evolution

Bitten by the LJ icon bug

I've been bitten by the LJ-icon-making bug. I never thought I'd get into this all-too-trendy pasttime, but I like it because each project is so small. When you get a hit of inspiration, it's easy to turn it into a final product within half an hour, at the most. Not at all like making a blog layout, which takes hours and hours.

I should make a list of the sites that I visit frequently, just so you all can see how dorky I am.

Luckily, the NYUMed application error was easy to fix. I called the admissions office, and the person who picked up the phone was like, "Yeah, the form's given us a lot of trouble. We plan to change it next year." I was privately headdesking. Regardless, I just had to shoot off an email saying that I made a mistake. Just for good measure, I listed all my courses again, in the event that I screwed up something else in addition to the biology courses. Whew. (Even if my changes don't get appended to my file, that's okay - NYUMed is at the bottom of my want-to-go list.)

I need to call UPenn to make sure all my materials are in. I'm paranoid like that.

Ben WILL roll his eyes, but for the last two days I've been obsessed with Ultraviolet. Great ideas, not-bad CGI, Milla Jovovich... bad script/editing. I wonder who's to blame for that - I read that the studio chopped a ridiculous amount from the shooting script to produce the final release. The unrated DVD has an extra scene which is kinda nice. I bought a used copy of the novelization on Amazon because I heard it had a lot more backstory and detail and that it was based on the original script. I hope I'm not disappointed.
