i've been doing some existential remodeling. and by that i mean, remodeling in small materialistic ways that have a positive existential effect on me. kind of like putting on more make-up when you're in a bad mood so you feel a little prettier and thus better. i put the new comforter on the bed - its purple and green and has lots of velor, which i' ( Read more... )

this has been quite possibly the most active two days i've had in a while. i even rode my bike for the first time in years. i couldn't even push myself forward for a while, because i was so unused to it, i was riding on the lawn, and the gear was too high. eventually i managed to get it moving long enough to switch to a lower gear and road a couple ( Read more... )

today was gray and cool, it made me think about writing. but that's all i could really do, think about it. i opened up a few stories, did some editing, but couldn't put down anything new. then i wanted to read something flat and stupid, so i read the article in vanity fair on gisele bundchen. she's irritatingly happy, by the time i got to the end i ( Read more... )

my hair is getting long enough that its starting to annoy me. it gets in my face all the time, and makes me feel too warm. i've been tying it back the way i usually only do in the summer. that said, i still don't plan on cutting it any time soon, though it could probably use some styling. i want it long and big, with some highlights somewhere down ( Read more... )

so i had my first date ever this past week. met up with a guy i met on okc. i hadn't been talking to him that long, and in fact i hadn't talked to him about anything of much consequence. he's a rather terrible person to talk to online, no matter how many times i say it, he does not seem to get that when he says "what are you up to?" i'm going to ( Read more... )

its funny that a couple of stains have got me thinking about headier things. but yesterday we had lobster in celebration of my parents' 28th wedding anniversary, and i made a mess myself with the butter. pre-treated it with biz, rather sloppily, but i tried, alas to no avail. and its just that its bad enough that i spend my days lounging around in ( Read more... )

and baby when its love if its not rough it isn't fun. stephenie meyer could learn a thing or two from lady gaga, mmhm.

and so a little more than two weeks after beginning the process, i have finished the entirety of the twilight saga, closing breaking dawn late last night, within the first hour of halloween. and kids, really, breaking dawn wasn't ( Read more... )

so eclipse was a lot harder to get through than new moon. not nearly as good of a book, despite the fact that stephenie meyer seemed to attempt to rectify the problems that existed in the earlier books. eclipse not only had a story arch, a climax that was built up to throughout the whole book, but also had an attempt at a multilayered plot. its no ( Read more... )

ugh. i guess its gotta come in waves, sometimes little ones, sometimes big ones. most of the time things are good, i'm able to truck along, doing my own thing and not be bothered. but then every couple of weeks for a day or two i have to remember how much everything sucks. the economy sucks, the job market sucks, i haven't gotten a single call back ( Read more... )

fall is now in full flush. there's still plenty of green, but the leaves are now starting to trickle to the ground. now its just a matter of waiting for the first big rain fall that will strip the trees and turn all that color into a brown mush on the road.

so, i have managed what i did not think i could. i read twilight. well, ok, i didn't ( Read more... )
