christmastime and ho-punching
three ways i know i'm tired
1. monday in the shower, i put conditioner on my face. for like a second, that is. i'm not that bad off, yet.
2. wednesday, i left for class, came back in 30 seconds later because i forgot my phone, left, came back 30 seconds later because i forgot my umbrella.
3. tuesday, i was working on a paper and i wanted to write "the collections manager was even hole-punching..." i didn't realize till i read it over that i had written "hoe-punching".
some perks of these finals weeks
1. reveling in dorkiness so crunch time is here. five papers to write, 2 done, so that comes out to 23 pages down and 30 to go. last friday night i resigned myself to a studious, anti-social evening, until my suitemates and i realized that harry potter movies were on tv. so a couple friends came over and we pigged out and ranted about how the second actor playing dumbledore sucks.
2. "dirty french" we also skimmed through joanna's "dirty french" phrase book (she's studying in paris next semester--and yes, it's the same book that nick has.) let me tell you that there are things in that book i wouldn't even say in english. rekha had actually already read parts of the book, but i didn't know until i jokingly asked her in french if i could "cum in her tits" and she emphatically replied, "NO."
3. visits saturday morning i headed to the british soccer pub around the corner with danny, maria, and rekha. we were supposed to meet up with justin shoe and his friends, visiting from URI for the day, but their bus driver's an idiot and basically gave them a tour of westchester before finally dropping them off late, so we watched the chelsea and arsenal games without them. once they came, we ate delicious pizza, got stuck in stand-still pedestrian traffic around rockefeller center's tree and had to make a hand-holding chain to all stay together, and walked a pilgrimage to strawberry fields in central park after dark.
4. holiday dorm parties after they left, i headed back to my suite for the holiday/goodbye party we were throwing. despite (or perhaps because of...) the RA telling us to be quiet, it was a success, lots of people and dance music and christmas music and lights and apple cider & rum and fresca & gin. i'm a clumsy fool even when i was sober, sloshing quite a lot of said cider on my outfit while waving my arms, telling stories.
5. dangerbox improv comedy shows dangerbox had their last show of the semester on monday, so i went with my cousin and nick packard. best exchange of the night (during a game where they do improv with the lights off, so you just hear the voices):
emily: dad, can i get a puppy?
spencer: urgmgaammlg...
emily: that's "yes" in stroke-speak!
6. NOT vegan restaurants emily, i'm really sorry, but i went to a vegan place called angelica kitchen with a couple friends on tuesday and...i didn't like it much.
7. workplace goodies this was also my last week interning at south street seaport museum, so the education department got me donuts and the collections management department got me a red velvet-flavor cake, which was really nice of them.
8. christmas spirit i've got my music, an advent calendar, shopping (finished today!--mostly--while walking around union square market in the rain), and last night i watched "mickey's christmas carol" and "jack frost" (the puppet one, of course) with my suitemates. such underrated films.
