I bought a new (read "used off of Craiglist") bookcase this weekend, and it isn't delapidated and on the verge of spilling my precious books all over the living room floor like the old one. These are exciting times!

Fuck it. I am going off birth control ( Read more... )

Last night on my way home from Lestat's, I decided I would get my favorite Mandarin Chicken Salad from Wendy's. I even talked myself out of getting a frosty and fries so I could feel better about eating a fast food salad for dinner. Instead of satisfaction, I was served another dose of cold, harsh reality: Wendy's no longer carries the Mandarin ( Read more... )

I started more seriously looking at jobs in other cities and states today. The time has finally come when I do not care to live here any longer. Too much of San Diego has ghosts; ghosts of friends, ghosts of exes, ghosts of sameness. Everyone else is moving on and expanding their lives and it is time for me to do so as well. Once summer school is ( Read more... )

How is it that The Living Room has practically no outlets available for customer use? This place is at least 3 times the size of Peet's, and I never have a problem finding an outlet there. Psh. Stupid Living Room. Their wild mushroom soup and view of the ocean is tough to beat, though ( Read more... )

Don't get me wrong: I love that I am (finally) close to being graduated, and there are things about me that I have learned over the past x amount of years, and I've grown and blah and etc., but sometimes it sure would be nice to travel back to maybe 2005.

First disappointment of 2010: Entenmann's denies me the enjoyment of my most favorite of cake-like confections. Ok, so technically this happened last year (October 24, so I am told...), but up until today it was all hearsay and speculation. You see, I had noticed over the past few months that my local grocery stores seemed to have a dearth of the ( Read more... )

Listening party tonight. I think this is supposed to be the introductory party, where you just choose three songs through which you, well, introduce yourself. Favorites I guess they would be? So I've got two for sure: Pink Floyd's "Learning to Fly" and Neil Young's "Old Man." I'm thinking my overarching theme (I've been writing too many papers ( Read more... )

Somewhere along the way, I feel like Jessica has been delayed.

These past few weeks have been a humbling and enormously validating.  Humbling because of the experience, validating because, well, they have just added further proof to the generally held theory that I am on some kind of terrible cosmic shit list. Seriously. It's a generally held theory now.  There are books and everything!*

So what, you may be ( Read more... )
