I had a cool dream and an awful dream. In the cool dream, I could teleport and I was learning how to bring things along with me- a sofa from room to room. Teleporting felt like falling asleep while I was concentrating on where I wanted to go and it was harder to do with people watching. In the crazy dream we saw a spider on the ceiling about ( Read more... )

jens has been gone for five hours and I miss him already. I am making a list of things I should or can do this week to occupy myself, as I'll only be working one shift per day as far as I know. Now it's sunny and warm out so I'm going to sunbathe on the roof terrace with Salman Rushdie and a new CD, wine and cheese and crackers. Quel snobberie ( Read more... )

today was not my day at Jens's house- the roof leaked over the spare room, so I went to clean that up, and straightened his house for when his landlord showed up to fix it. Found that the new carton of milk had spilled all over the fridge, and when I went to get water to clean it one of the drain pipes under the sink detached. They're PVC so I ( Read more... )

thursday was Dubravko's last day. He's one of my last original students in this class. He said I was one of the best teachers he'd had in his life. The cover class also thanked me for good times over the past two weeks ( Read more... )

last night I dreamed I married a blue whale. He was really sweet and his name was Charlie. For the wedding party he changed into human form and looked like Turk from Scrubs. He plotted with Hilary Byerly about proposing to me. At the wedding I saw several of the girls I went to elementary school with, and most of them had short haircuts. In ( Read more... )

it is lashing down pellets and has been all morning. Ireland doesn't get this sort of rain for hours at a time. I'm sleepy, so starting my analysis today has been really hard. I watched Jon Stewart take out the double standards of Palin-defending Republicans instead ( Read more... )

1) I'm gonna get a visit from Jacob laZAR (a.k.a. princeton in avenue jew, the cutest fruit Brandeis has to offer)!! he's in Copenhagen this semester and already announced his midterm break and wants to visit for a few days ( Read more... )

after five hours in the library, I have gotten exactly two sections of my paper to a place where I want them to be, using Jeff's feedback & suggestions. I'm thinking they were the hardest, though- the first two, setting the scene and they'd been missing a lot of data. I made a whole bunch of irrelevant stuff relevant (oh yeah, it's back up to ( Read more... )

Yeah, no power walk. All day til about 6 was pissing rain. We did get a good thunderclap out of it just before the rain stopped, but the farmers' market was miserable. I didn't even talk to Gus, just bought my essentials and came home. I intended to get up at 8am but managed to fall asleep instead of getting out of bed after snooze number 3 or ( Read more... )

last night i dreamed that... I was going to share an apartment with Jens and Emma and someone else. Also that Jens told me he'd gone to primary school in Irish and Romansh. The apartment we went to look at was lived in by Alon ( Read more... )
