Who goes to bed at 10:40, honestly? I want my friends to wake up!! Chev never goes to bed at 10:40!! She's supposed to be up until 4 so I can come and distract her or whine to her or listen to weird music with her!! Damn. It feels so late now, even though it's only 11. I mean, I suppose the smart thing to do would be to go to bed too as opposed to ( Read more... )

So the a cappella group went to Santa Monica last night to sing in the streets! It was eeeexcellent. I was really nervous when we first went, because I'm kind of the one who'd be responsible if we had a run-in with the police over not having a permit, but it worked out okay. Only one instance of the Armani mafia "kindly" asking us to move on, but ( Read more... )

My past few days have been great, filled with poetry, tea, high school friends, new friends, Ali G, impromptu naps, and too much studying. I left words blank for the first time on a kanji quiz today. What's up with that? They were definitely not on the list of vocab we needed to know. First Arabic test on Thursday, which means i actually need to ( Read more... )

It's been a fun if not stressful past week. I've had, of course, much work to do, but at the same time, I've done a lot of enjoyable things ( Read more... )

Idiosyncrasies are interesting, and it was a goog idea of my friend Bill to bring these up and share them. So even though I did technically lose my idosyncrasies to Korn in a game of existential poker, here are the top 5 he won ( Read more... )

I cut Chev's hair again today. Nothing fancy like before, just straight all around. Turned out pretty well, I think... we really ought to run our own salon out on the balcony! It would be incredible. I will add this to my list of get-rich-quick schemes. Yes ( Read more... )

So I had a very heated discussion tonight at dinner about how you cannot make a loaf of bread infinitely large. This is, of course, ignoring the limitations of having to build an infinitely large oven and power it. Our universe here is strictly theoretical. There is a point where the surface area to volume ratio becomes such that the center of the ( Read more... )

Sorry, I've slipped off the planet for the last couple weeks. Things have gotten really crazy busy here. Last two weeks in a nutshell ( Read more... )

I've moved back to school, and it's great. My room is fabulous, probably twice the size of my old one, and on the third (top) floor of the oldest, prettiest building on campus. There are only 3 rooms up here, and one is occupied by my friends, and the other two people with whom I hope to become friends. The greatest thing, though, is the large ( Read more... )

I had to say goodbye to Joe today, and it sucked. It just sucked. I definitely cried after he left, and the Bollywood songs sounded so bittersweet on the way home. Then this evening I went over to Ryoko's apartment. She had made oyako donburi (sans chicken, as we are both vegetarians... so just ko donburi, I guess) and edamame, and we watched ( Read more... )
