hey y'all! don't have much time. have to leave for work in fifteen minutes. just wanted to say "i'm not dead." also, a rather belated Happy Birthday! to silly_cleo, uaekiwi, and dzurlady! all on the same day! over a week ago. my bad. hope the three of you had great days! anyway, must go get breakfast. hopefully, i will remember to write a real entry soon.

i just applied for a library card! yay! i'm so excited! i was not very impressed with the library in Valois Bay (closest branch to my old apartment), but the King County Library System has a really nice setup, so i'm actually looking forward to being a library patron again. not that i won't still buy some books, though. i just can't help ( Read more... )

...but i promised you all a real update, and i've randomly decided to write it now. i guess the main question on everyone's minds is: what have i been doing for the near month since i last wrote a real post. ( the short answer is )

and sick, but that's a more recent development. anyway, i've been in Seattle for over a week, and i still haven't gotten anything done. okay, i've done the dishes and some laundry a few times. i've only unpacked one suitcase, though, and have barely even thought about my thesis. of course, i don't particularly want to think about my thesis yet, ( Read more... )

had a good weekend. met ronluvshermione downtown for lunch on Saturday. that was great. sometimes i forget how great a simple social outing like lunch can be. i also introduced her to Metro Video on our way to the Metro. (now, how many of you are confused by that sentence? ... then you've never been to Montreal. heehee.) i bought the second season of Due ( Read more... )

okay, now it's the universe that's messing with me. not just my own subconscious. went downstairs to get my laundry. i was very happy that i'd be able to go to bed. except one of the dryers didn't actually dry. if it had been the sheets...fine, no big deal. hang up those and use the sheets that annoy me (the pockets aren't deep enough). fine ( Read more... )

i just called the police on my neighbors. i was going downstairs to switch my laundry to the dryer, and while i was in the hall (the only place you can really hear the other apartments on my floor), i heard a bunch of yelling. that's not that unusual from that particular apartment, but then i heard the women yell, "you fucking hit me!" picture ( Read more... )

well, okay, not so bored.  after i wrote that title, i decided i should read through the editing suggestions on the two chapters RK looked through on his way to India and gave back to me today.  (according to him, there would be a comma before "and gave back to me today".  why can't i have a professor who actually follows English grammar?  or uses ( Read more... )
