The bf's new roommate, the Cat Lady, is NOT working out. I'm not going to go into all the gory details but suffice it to say that she is a) rude, b) irrational and c) territorial. She seems to want James to pay rent but not leave his room very often, cook or attempt to talk to her.

CERTAINLY she does not want him to have guests. She complained ( Read more... )

I went to yet another going away party last night. So many people from the department are moving away. :( It was really fucking hot: Fletcher, who is from New Orleans, and I decided it was near Southern levels of humidity. So in compensation I drank a whole bunch of vodka tonics. I had a really good time last night, but this morning (or rather ( Read more... )

I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and I may never stop weeping. Lindsay girl, we need to talk.

In other news, I drove my mother to the airport at 0 Dark Hundred this morning. So the day wasn't all bad news.

I spoke too fucking soon. When we went to the lake as I was getting out of the water my mother said, "Well, that bathing suit certainly doesn't look the same as when we went on the cruise." Which loosely translates to, "You've gained weight/you look fat."

I wish I could post pictures. You'll just have to imagine a picture that says "Me on the ( Read more... )

Neither my mother or I is dead yet. So, so far so good. We're going to a lake today (so no sharks, jerk,) so maybe she a) will be in a good mood and b) won't give me shit about looking for a job.

My mother is coming to New Jersey this evening.

And staying for 12 days.

Fuck.

Hey. I'm alive. Lots and lots of shit is going on. Briefly, I'm in Seattle right now, having extended my original vacation and I really, really want to move back here but I don't want to be 3000 miles away from my boyfriend who is wonderful and keeps me sane. Ish. Also, I think my brother is depressed and my mother is in deep denial. Woo. I' ( Read more... )

A list of ethnicities people have asked me if/assumed that I belonged to, other than Italian:

Spanish
Brazilian
Jewish
Greek
Random Hispanic (they just started speaking Spanish to me. And not when I was in a Spanish-speaking country.)

An ethnicity that no one has EVER asked me if/assumed that I belong to:

Irish

Which is interesting, since I'm as much ( Read more... )

Fuck, where the hell have I been? I realized I haven't posted in over a week and I can't think of anything interesting that's happened in that time. Oh! I FINALLY got to see 2046 last night, and I'm pretty sure the Ziyi Zhang character was based on Holly Golightly. So, that was cool. Also, Wong Kar-Wai was there rocking a leather jacket and ( Read more... )
