I've got doggy fever.

Wednesday, October 24, 2012 § 0

No, this is not some new disease that I invented/am plagued with.  Actually, this just means that I'd really like a dog and I've been obsessed with the idea lately.

Now, don't fret- I realize that I'm most likely not prepared for single dog ownership yet and besides, my apartment complex doesn't allow dogs anyway.  However, the idea is super-enticing.  I've helped raise dogs my whole life, but I'd need to think about the economic toll a dog would take on me, along with other things.

BUT STILL,  I'd love someone to walk through campus every day and take to the Oval and take with me to my parent's house to run around in the backyard and take up to Horsetooth to hike with me and basically just love.  Maybe this means that I'm more obsessed with the idea of a dog than what it would take to actually care for one, but I know that if I ever did become a single dog owner (and I keep saying that because my family already has two dogs, but I hardly see 'em since I live two hours away) that I would be an incredible caring owner.  I would freaking SPOIL that dog.

Plus, overcrowding in shelters is a huge deal, and so many dogs are being put down every year.  If I did get a dog, I'd get a shelter pup- that's the way to go.  No pet shops!!!

Anyway, this is just an idea for now.  I've heard a lot of bad experiences of young dog ownership from a lot of people so I'm just going to keep the idea in my mind for a while.

P.S...I totally took a quiz online on what breed would best match my personality and this is what came up:
Great dane (which I would LOVE but I don't know if I could handle a dog this big...)

Black russian terrier

Boxer

Bullmastiff (but sort of the same issue as with the GD...these mothers get enormous)

Doberman Pinscher

So all in all, lots to think about.  For now I'll just have to deal with my crazy case of doggy fever.

This week.

Wednesday, August 29, 2012 § 0

Wow.  This week has been intense and stressful and emotionally exhausting!

First of all, there's the fact that Obama came to my university yesterday and I didn't get to see him because I had to work (whine whine whine, I know...but whether you like him or not, who wouldn't want to see the POTUS in person??)



And then there's my first foray into dating.  There's a guy that's into me but I really just want to be friends...and I've never had to deal with anything like this before.  There's gonna be some feelings hurt and I may lose this guy as a pal....UGH I'M SO BAD AT BOYS.

And, of course, the clincher- it's finally time to say goodbye to Yunioshi:
(not my picture.  I honestly can't believe I couldn't find any personal pictures of my beloved vehicle)

After 3 wonderful years, my car has decided to act up and generally become a huge douche.  For example, Yuni broke down in a turn lane a while back, almost in the middle of an intersection, and I was stuck there, crying and trying to turn him back on and getting nothing from my efforts.  It was sad. There are other things, too- like a constant smell of gas (inside the car), strange lights coming on...etc, etc.  I would definitely try harder to keep little Yuni around but the job I have requires that I have to pick up kids from school, and I don't think Yuni's reliable enough.  Therefore, I'm using my own money to get another sweet-ass ride (stressful).  It's gonna be hard to say goodbye to this baby.  

So it's been quite a week, and I think I'm getting mild anxiety, because any time I even think about having to deal with any one of these things while also juggling homework and a double major, I generally start freaking out.  Seriously, I need to take up yoga or something.  

Until later, 
Madi

Name change.

Alright, it's time for me to grow up a little bit.

Ok, not really.  And not yet, either.  I'm not planning on growing up until I'm at least 50.

BUT I thought it was about time to go ahead and change my blog title from Cooper Calamity to Life With Madi.   Cooper Calamity is an inside joke so I always knew it was weird and hard to understand, but I stuck with it.  Plus, my vlog for the Collegian is Life With Madi, so it only makes sense.

There's my reasoning.  My URL's still the same, though: shesacalamity.blogspot.com!

I'll be signing off with my real name now,

Madi

Update.

WHAT? Cooper's blogging twice in one day, WHAT???

I know.  But I have too much stuff on my mind to not.

Here's what I'm thinking about.
1.  New Girl is on tonight and I could NOT be more excited.

2. I may have met the girl I'm going to live with next year.  I really wanted to live alone, but I was thinking it would end up being WAY too expensive and that's not kosher.

3. I'm procrastinating studying for Psych but I really need to get on that.  I can't afford to fuck up this test- my scholarship is in grave danger!

4.  I have no idea what to do for my vlog for the collegian.  It's due tomorrow morning.

That's the end of that.

Back to school blues.

Just sittin' here, eating my Skinny Cow dreamy clusters (SO good) and NAHT wanting to go to class.  That's right, I spelled it NAHT.

This semester already proves to be challenging.  There's extensive textbook use in all my classes and already I'm bogged down with homework.  I'm trying not to get stressed out of my mind.

Textbooks are expensive, y'all.  I HATEZ it so much that I'm using ridiculous words like HATEZ.

UGGGGHHHHH.

In other news, I have a new vlog out.  Check it out by clicking on 'my vlog' in the top right corner.

Also, I started a new Tumblr!  It's a reading/writing/movies based blog and you all should go follow it if that floats your boat.  I'm loving posting on it so far.

Well, hope you're having a better Wednesday than I am!

Cooper

I just wanted you guys to see this.

Because I can't stop watching it.


This looks so cute, and I'm in love with both Emily Blunt and Jason Segel.

PERF. Can't wait.

Dorm Life.

Sunday, October 30, 2011 § 0

Lately, I've been covering dorm life via vlog for CSU's paper, The Collegian.  I wanted to share my YouTube channel with you so you could catch all my lovely adventures here in Parmalee.  It's a magical, magical place....


Life With Madi

Proof; that's college life for ya there.

Happy Sunday,
Cooper

what I'm loving this week.

Sunday, October 16, 2011 § 1

I've noticed that I've been pretty scatterbrained recently...there's been so much going on that blogging has been pretty far down on my to-do list.  But right now it's one A.M., my roommate is gone, and I'm feeling like a late night.  Therefore, I shall blog!

I figure another installment of what I'm loving this week should brighten up Cooper Calamity's boring page.  Admittedly, it hasn't been too too bad, but I doubt you want to hear another rant about my homework or my week or anything like that.  In fact, let's just jump right in to what I'm loving.  Let's do that.

NUMERO UNO
This week's episode of Parks and Recreation.

Donna knows how to do it.  It was just a very hilarious episode and it's good that my roommate is away this weekend because I was laughing uproariously and it's quite late.  I would have woken her up....with all my laughter.....yes.  Okay. 

NUMERO DEUX

This book.  Okay, so I haven't read it yet, but I bought it this week and I like that I did that because it has gotten rave reviews and they're making a movie of it with Emma Watson in it and I just can't deal with how awesome it all sounds.  I can't wait to crack open this puppy.  

NUMMER TRE
This week's weather forecast.  I mean, 59?? I'm so excited; I want it to be cold with ALL OF MY HEART. I need to break out my fuzzy puffed coat.  


QUATERNARIUS


The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle.  I WANT IT.  It's so beautiful and gorgeous and I would even give up my beloved wonderful-piece-of-junk Volvo for it.  THAT'S saying something.  


Those are my loves for this week!  Let me know if you've got anything to add to the list.  Also, check out my new Life With Madi channel for the Collegian's vlog series here.  

Until who knows when, 
Cooper

wow.

it's been a while since I last posted!  I suppose I've been busy...there's been meetings, and NBC Thursdays, mug painting, and movie night with the suite mate (I finally watched The King's Speech; it was great).  Oh, and there was this:


For my vlog for the newspaper here, I wanted to do one about getting out of your dorm.  So, I planned on going to Old Town and taking videos of me messing around in shops, dancing in the street, engaging in regular shenanigans.  Well, that was before it started to rain.  And before my camera's memory card decided not to work. 

Luckily, my friend had her camera with her, and we said 'to hell with the rain' and shot the videos anyway.  I'll post the video after it gets put up on the Collegian's website!

I hope your weekend was equally as riveting as mine (and by riveting, I mean relaxing.  I don't think I left my dorm today except to get food....and I ain't even mad!) 

Until tomorrow, 
Cooper
