Take A Minute. January 30, 2009

It’s been forever and a day since I’ve written a decent update. Then again, I’ve been too sick to update. The other day the doctor told me I had bronchitis. And if I don’t get some rest then that could easily turn into pneumonia. Just what I need the first week of school, right?

I feel really bad about not getting anything done for the paper but I’m seriously on my deathbed. I’ll probably go for a chest x-ray tomorrow or Sunday to make sure my lungs aren’t filling up anymore. Hopefully my writers will actually come through and submit at least something.

On a different note, I dropped American Literature I. Seemed like it was going to cause me the most grief. Well, not entirely true. French is but I can’t afford to drop that. So I’ll worry about AL next semester.

Oh well, off to American Culture.

Day 1- School. January 27, 2009

The first day of classes wasn’t bad I guess. Hate french, like the other two. Missed my first class today because of parking. Fucking sucks. Two more classes to go. Wanted to take a nap in the office but everyone and their mother decided to come in. Still feel really crummy. Yay for intestinal viruses.

J’adore…clothes. January 21, 2009

I’m exhausted, so I’m posting a few links here of shirts and crap that I want to buy.

New[s]. January 19, 2009

On my last week of vacation. The one week that I want to relax and do nothing, I have so much to do. Getting a little stressed about how much I have on my plate, but I try not to think about it.

On the bright side, I found a cool new band: Fleet Foxes.

Here is my schedule for this week, in case you want to do something.

Today: clean basement, move a bunch of crap around
Tuesday: buy books, go to Circuit City to look for a new TV, write an article, a review, email staff
Wednesday: go to the office, look for M2D2 picture, finish basement
Thursday: article deadline, possible layout learning day
Friday: possible layout learning day
Saturday: free
Sunday: layout

I Won’t Be Left. January 14, 2009

“I won’t mistake you for problems with me
I won’t let my moods ruin this you’ll see
I won’t take everything good and move it away
I won’t be left dancing along to songs from the past
Would you stay home and keep our memories warm with me
Would you give all your love for a run at the past with me
I know you’re sad even though you say that you’re not
I know you’re scared even though you say that you’re not
I won’t get mad when you say things are getting too hard
I won’t make all of your love so scared to come through our yard
I won’t scream in my head and let it isolate me
I won’t be left dancing alone to songs from the past”

-Tegan and Sara

You Take All Of The Good And All Of The Bad That Comes With Me. January 12, 2009

Solanin has to be the best manga I have ever read. Some parts really reminded me of my relationship with Tim. Not the sad, depressing parts but the parts where the two main characters totally understand one another.

Nick and I had an amazing day. We could go literally ages without seeing eachother and still have so much to talk about. Not that either of would enjoy going ages without each other. I can’t wait until his birthday…another cold beach day with him and his lady…epic!

I love Brew’d Awakening. Sometimes I wish I could just work in a little coffee shop, or a restaurant like Life. I wish Tim and I could make a livng off our arts. Cozy up in a beautiful loft that offers a river view and community garden. I wish every night could be like that night.

Sprawled on top of a plush bed. Guitar in his hands and head cradled in my chest. The scent of chai tea filling the room as our Shiba curls up on the floor. It feels as though time has stopped yet the minutes on the clock rapidly tick by. The dull glow from a lamp casts shadows that leap away as the sun awakens. The world around us moves, yet we stay stationary. For nothing around us could be more important than this moment.

Look In The Mirror My Friend! January 9, 2009

So I’m looking up all this travel information for Sharon and it really makes me miss taking trips. I haven’t been on a vacation in ages. Ages! Sure I went to Ecuador but that was a research trip and not really a vacation. I haven’t been to Florida in years and I only get down to Snows Pond for two or three days in the summer. I would love even just a weekend on the Cape or Vineyard in the summer. Hard to vacation for a full week or two with my job but three day weekends are possible. And I have decided that I am going to take a small vacation at some point this summer. I work 40-50 hours a week in the heat, I accrue both annual and sick leave every pay period, why not use it? Of course I do get paid for whatever leave I don’t use but still, a nice three-day weekend would be so well-deserved. I’m thinking the weekend after the Folk Fest since the Fest pretty much kicks our asses. But we will see. Hopefully Bernie will be back as an SCA or better, a paid conductor like me and we can work out vacation days between the two of us. Until then…back to laundry and e-mailing staff writers.

Porn Industry Seeking Federal Bailout? January 7, 2009

And I actually read that headline on CNN? What?

Anyways.

I really love cooking. I’m glad my domestic side finally came out.

Doctor’s wasn’t too bad. I’m a little sore from the pap. Ick.

No Love Is Like Our Love January 6, 2009

We’ve found our constants.

And for the rest of you non-LOST watchers…we’ve found the one.
