why bother
i don't bother updating online journals. i just can't be arsed. but today i shall.
i rolled around harvard square, shopping here and there. i went to the gap and got clothing because all my stuff is trashed and needs to be updated - bin livin' in san diego, where they don't have cold weather - and then off to the hardware store to get a silverware holder for the dish drainer, some accoutrements of destruction for the bathroom and kitchen, and a glass spice-holder for the all-important additive to our espresso grinds, cardamom.
then i ate an obscenely excellent burger at obscene price at mr. bartley's.
then i went home and cleaned some of the house. this last part is a daily routine - i do a large amount of cleaning on a daily basis, particularly washing dishes. my roomies are all very, very busy and i am anal retentive (and bored) and spend a lot of time as housemom. not that i relish the self-descriptor 'mom', but someone has to do gruntwork all the time and i owe it to my roomies to help out given all the help they're giving me.
now it's evening. in the evening, i watch television. not all evening, nor every evening, but generally i spend too much time watching it. i like all the csi programs and the law & order spin-offs (but not so much the original show, though i don't rule it out), and there are movies on later at night. i'm a bit of a night owl; i tend to read crazy books from the harvard library while watching tv and discussing politics with my roomies.
i get on the computer when i can. my laptop died about three weeks ago and i am saving up to get a new one; until then, it's the linux box in the kitchen what my roomie is addicted to like i am to my tv, so it's always a question as to who gets to use it. as in, 'will i ever?' because she owns it and i don't step up on other people's computer time, partic'ly when that person wants to spend what little free time she has online.
i want to socialise. i'm going to hit the harvard caucus (homo org) party this weekend and shake my tail. actually, i'll just be watching the hot CH1XX0R roll on by sadly since no one seems to ever want to break off a piece of this lonely girl (comes of being a new-in-town homebody, i guess). *sigh* anyway, at least then i'll be networking.
man, i need to get my job on. can you say that? anyway.
that's all. sorry to disappoint. i'm a boring person.
