We had a (cold but) great weekend. We stayed close to home, except for running errands Saturday in Natick, and it was so nice, because it's been a long time since we've done that. It was nice to be plan free and low key. In Natick I exchanged my defective uggs, which I now think really were made wrong since this pair fits so differently (so much better). We did other returns and picked up some

Well the annual cookie day I wrote about Wednesday is planned! This year we're making it really count by making it a wrapping day as well. I can't wait, I love this tradition, which started late in college, was pre-empted for a few years, but now has been going strong since 2006 :)My lovely husband brought home a bottle of my favorite white wine Wednesday night after making a special trip to

2008-11-19T12:40:00.002-05:00

I'm anxious to start Christmas shopping -- I love buying presents and wrapping them and the whole deal. But some how, I feel like if I start too early I might miss out on the real Christmas-y-ness of the whole experience with decorated malls/stores and music playing...there's something to be said for that -- but there is also something to be said for getting it done early: no stress, maybe

2008-01-23T16:45:00.000-05:00

Do you panko?I <3 panko. My husband introduced it to me early on in our relationship when we tried to re-create Tonkatsu, which his friend's mother always made for the two of them. Tonkatsu is essentially tenderized pork breaded in Panko flakes and fried, served with Bulldog sauce. Our attempt was "okay." Over the holidays I was fortunate enough to try the original homemade dish that he loves

2008-01-16T11:37:00.001-05:00

I'm nearly through The United States of Arugala,not sure what I'll read next. I was reading Eat, Pray, Love at the same time but gave it up because TUSA was too tough to put down! Any recs?Last night's dinner was a boring, we're-tired typical meal of salad, biscuits from a can and tortellini. We were out driving by 2 houses we might tour this weekend and stopped at a grocery store in that area

2008-01-16T10:40:00.000-05:00

I have become enamored by all things food and foodie. I've always been interested in cooking, but lately I've read a few things that have me wondering if food (and cooking) can fit into my life in a way that is bigger than "what's for dinner?"First, I read Julie & Julia. I picked it up at a local bookstore on a whim, it sounded interesting. It's non-fiction, a girl in her late 20s/early 30s

2007-08-30T23:50:00.000-04:00

Have you ever had one of those movie moments? Things are going so right, the sun is shining, and there is even a soundtrack?I had one of those moments today. My training got out early so I was able to take an early train home (see, in the end it was a good thing I missed my train at my station and had to drive to the one with the meters ... this early train didn't go to my normal station). The

2007-07-18T08:55:00.000-04:00

Lately, my work days are a struggle.I go in late, because there's not much to do, and I can. But, I feel guilty about it and check my email and phone messages in the mornings before leaving home so I'm up to speed when I get in. That makes me feel better for a bit. I love having some extra time in the mornings, but then I half worry on the train when my book isn't holding my attention and my

2007-06-27T08:22:00.000-04:00

I have become a huge wimp. Ever since we put in our air conditioners, little tiny bugs have appeared on our walls & ceiling. They're tiny and I envisioned them falling on me in my sleep and thus made Tim climb around squishing them in Kleenex. I don't know exactly when I became too much of a wimp to do it myself.This morning, there was some kind of large bug (like 1") with antennae and a hard

2007-06-26T08:12:00.000-04:00

There's a lot going on. Making wedding progress... signed up for two excersise classes through community ed ... my office is moving. I even, dare I say it, feel happy. I didn't expect to, especially considering how crummy I felt 2 weeks ago. Maybe I dealt with what I needed to then.Work has been going well. This new job I started in March was the best thing ever. I feel like it's a real job

2007-06-18T15:47:00.000-04:00

Man, I would LOVE it if I still got summer vacation. That was the best.

2007-06-13T11:19:00.000-04:00

I'm in a place right now where I'm very easily sucked into a slump. Feeling crappy, don't wanna do anything, definitely don't want to go to work (even though I like my job). Gotta fight it! Take my vitamins (especially the "b"s), make plans, get out.It's just hard to believe it's almost been a year. It's strange to suddenly find myself feeling overly emotional and sensitive.It feels good being

2007-06-11T09:54:00.000-04:00

I'm totally re-hooked on reading. It took me the better part of a year to get through Love in a Time of Cholera. (Sidenote--remember Serendipity? It's the book she puts the note in). Not that it wasn't good, I just wasn't all that interested in picking it up. Normally if a book wasn't holding my attention, I'd swap to another one for a bit, but I wasn't feeling it. Then suddenly I cruised

2007-06-06T15:53:00.000-04:00

WOWSo much has happened.I totally lost my steam back in February. My dad got sick and was in the hospital for a month, home for a month or so, and had another surgery a few weeks ago. He's doing a lot better and life is finally starting to feel normal again.The other big news is that Tim and I are engaged. In mid-April on a rainy Wednesday he completely surprised me by insisting we go to

2007-02-15T22:37:00.000-05:00

2007 ... finally feeling better. The new apartment is great. I like living in the boonies. I like that there's no hassle, we're a straight shot from the east, easy to get to from everywhere, and we're no more than a half hour from anywhere we want to be ... well except to see Tim's family, but at least we're a solid half hour or 45 minutes closer to them. I like our bigger apartment and that

2007-01-12T10:02:00.001-05:00

Surprising as it may seem, I constantly forget how important it is to have a good cry, a really good one.

2007-01-10T15:21:00.000-05:00

I hate waiting ... does that make me impatient?I'm very excited for our move to the boonies ... to a bonafide 2 bedroom apartment with 4 - 6 outlets in each room, all 3 pronged. Seems so simple, yet I am so excited to get there, to start the next phase, get everything set up, rehang our photos, hang the prints we never put up because we were never really happy with our current place.The "next

2007-01-08T10:52:00.000-05:00

I am home today, sick. Sick because I woke up exhausted for about the millionth (not really) day in a row. But seriously, all last week, exhausted. Not sleepy, not lazy -- fatigued, tired, wiped out. I woke up, thought "ugh", felt how congested my head was, thought "ugh" again. Got up to pee, saw the rain, thought ugh ugh ugh. Laid in bed, thought about it, knew there was no way I could be

2007-01-01T15:41:00.000-05:00

So here we are, 2007 is finally here. Scratch 2006 from the books.This pic is our $12 6' Christmas tree, not bad right?A good weekend in CT at Katie's parents' house. Lost $20 at the casino, and had a great time. Spent 2 nights there, Saturday with Katie, Will, Mo, Vin, Tim & I. Sunday Beth & Mike and Murph & Kara joined. Hot tub, sauna, and too much food had by all!I'm dreading work tomorrow

Back!

2004-03-27T01:39:00.000-05:00

so i officially haven't updated in ages. things are good ... but things will soon be changing. tomorrow meredith and i are going to check out an apartment in allston, and hopefully some others. i got a call back for a job i applied for. a "real" job, although it has shitty pay, it sounds like the perfect one for me ... but we'll see. went shopping today, got 2 new shirts, a belt, and a steal

2003-12-31T00:03:00.000-05:00

so the puma internship is done, and it was great, and i'll be getting stuff in the mail in the next few weeks .. they "paid me with product" at the end, so exciting! if i don't have a "real job" by the summer, i'll be back there full time as a paid intern (yeay!) my birthday was great except for the blizzard aspect. the girls through a party friday night and we hit up the blarn, of course.

This article http://www.theonion.com/3944/news3.html on the blogger front page is funny, as is blogger's official stance on the issue http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=655&topic=-1 Def. going to update very soon ... the semester is almost over (well 3 or 4 more weeks but i don't have much interning and each of my classes is already cancelled at least once)

2003-10-27T23:10:00.000-05:00

So .... I haven't written anything in a long time. I'm really busy and I feel like I'm always in the car ... but, I am learning a lot at PUMA and have quite a few responsibilities and get to send stuff to magazines. The Webster House is pretty much the same as always ... made an unusual amount of money last week taking a funeral reception and the wine dinner, yeay. Went to Mike's pumpkin show

2003-09-10T12:11:00.000-04:00

So, I truly have been slacking on the updates ... Let me start off by discussing how currently joyful I am because: 1. I pre-ordered the new Hey Mercedes cd from Tower and now I get to listen to the whole thing on the internet till I get it. This is extra exciting due to the fact that I've had a song stuck in my head for like a week that goes something like "all i know is i'm never gonna go

2003-09-06T02:46:00.000-04:00

sometime i'll do an update ... after all, rich fields told me my blog was boring :P haha ... but that was totally deserved. things are changing and goin' on ... much to write xo what is this? i don't know ... but there are a bunch of them and some of them are funny ... even if i think they are sort of a misuse of the word "meme" ... dictionary definition or not ... haha What is Your Destiny? by

adam - that was the best message ever i will call you verrrrrrrrry soon i work 6 days a week -- it is good and bad. i'm trying to finish my "to do" list "in a timely fashion." hey mercedes was awesome monday night. firmly secured them as my second favorite band. it was awesome. i can't wait for the new cd, which is going to be even better than the first. i'm in love with them. xoxo james

2003-07-25T02:33:00.000-04:00

the beach trip with the work crew was good times. we went to gloucester and even got to walk out to the little island and climbed up to the top. it was a fun day. i'm so glad i've had the chance to spend so many entire days doing things like swimming this summer. i washed my car yesterday, i made $13 at work today. haha. i dunno, but things are good in general. possibly getting

2003-07-20T12:38:00.000-04:00

i have been staying up laaaate. went out with work people again thursday. different group this time. richard and i peaced out for a bit but i met back up and went to breakfast with two of the girls. super bonding. made money friday, another late night. yesterday was such a fun day ... breakfast (although it was almost 1 in the afternoon), saw 28 days later and i liked it, even though i

2003-07-16T01:03:00.000-04:00

yesterday i got my car fixed ... well it wasn't broken but i took it in to get the airbag recall deal fixed up, which makes me happy. spent an hour hitting balls on the board at the high school. bought ugly new shoes for work (but they're comfortable & appropriate, i wore em today). had lunch with mum at panera! yum! my sister got me a new abe lincoln book "the wit and wisdom of ..." score.

2003-07-13T22:41:00.000-04:00

ended up with the whole weekend off from work ... making up one of the shifts wednesday night so i won't be exceedingly poor or anything. friday was danielle's birthday and she and fletcher and meredith came down and we went out for dinner & things. had a delicious watermelon cosmo at peppercorn's - yum. melon sugared edge and watermelon puree all in a fun glass? oh yes. came home to the lb

2003-07-09T01:50:00.000-04:00

thursday - FIREWORKS - i had some worcester pride when i saw how great the fireworks display was. Super Chinese Buffet, however, left me much less impressed. Aaron & Scott's first party on Shirley was good times, even though we didn't stay long. meredith came down for SCB, megan and berkley showed up for fireworks, danielle and fletcher and meliss all showed up in time for the party. random

2003-07-03T02:16:00.000-04:00

just got back from the jets to brazil show. Awesome. Started with the frequency, ended with sea anemone, and was a great great set in between. :) they played one song "from the fourth album," and it was great ... a little bit of a different sound, just like the last 3 have had, but it was great. fun night. still trying to finish harry potter. been working. saw the italian job last

2003-06-30T01:50:00.000-04:00

2003-06-27T00:50:00.000-04:00

i woke up grumpy today b/c i was grumpy/upset in the dream i was having (i had weeeird dreams when i was home ... the kind that are completely strange but parts of them seem very real). that took a lil while to wear off ... like, the whole time i was at home this a.m. and the whole drive back to worcester. so weird. got to work, and had every reason to be grumpy when there were four of us on

2003-06-25T22:03:00.000-04:00

chillin in the lb ... came home yesterday b/c i thought my face was gonna fall apart, it hurt so bad. it was dead at work ($11, yes) and i came here after and went to the dr. i have an ear infection. :( saddest. lil kids have ear infections, and i hadn't had one since i was a lil kid till freshman year when my ear drum blew out and now, 3 years later. what is up with that. i can't hear ...

2003-06-22T22:57:00.000-04:00

so not much is new, i work alll the time and watch movies (watched full frontal tonight ... i think i like it more in retrospect than i did while it was on ... but i have to admit i didn't love it) and go out. i'm reading a lot (currently part way into Dharma Bums, The Lovely Bones, The End of the Affair,andHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix .... maybe not the best plan). a bunch of us

2003-06-16T21:13:00.000-04:00

what the hell ... You're Ireland! Mystical and rain-soaked, you remain mysterious to many people, and this makes you intriguing. You also like a good night at the pub, though many are just as worried that you will blow up the pub as drink your beverage of choice. You're good with words, remarkably lucky, and know and enjoy at least fifteen ways of eating a potato. You really don't

2003-06-16T01:31:00.000-04:00

well happy father's day! since it was so sunny out, and there were 8 of us on, work wasn't very busy. i was out around 4 with $50 ... not exactly terrible for 5 1/2 hours of work, but dangerously close to minimum wage. i worked with this other girl and we shared the room, so it was an easy day. bought movies at hollywood, didn't do dvds, because you can get 4 vids for $20. sweet deal.

2003-06-15T03:09:00.000-04:00

had a big post typed ... it got deleted basically everything is good. had fun last night with katie, katie, scott, kat, and aaron. went home today for dad's bday / father's day. i think he likes the digital camera/printer set up we got him. i miss the girls. we're never all here. maybe i can talk 'em all into sam's monday night. i found out recently that you are leaving for good i hope, i

2003-06-04T00:22:00.000-04:00

what up, yo? i feel like i should blog because i'm leaving again for a few days, so there will continue to be a huge lag in updates. i feel completely scattered. people say "how are you" and i say "okay" or "good" or "fine" but i feel like in reality i have no idea how i am because since classes got out april 28th i've been running running running. when we get back sunday, things will start

2003-05-30T02:53:00.000-04:00

well, things are good. i graduated sunday the 18th. it was a gorgeous day and the party was really fun. the ceremony itself seemed pretty anticlimactic, but it was nice, and the speakers were excellent. lots of other stuff has happened too, but i will talk about it when i have more photos scanned to share. tuesday, my great grandfather died, and we flew to pittsburgh wednesday. i'm really glad

2003-05-17T03:31:00.000-04:00

easter weekend was pretty good ... worked friday night. headed home after because no one was in worcester, or at least no one was doing anything in worcester. got a good night's sleep and got up at 9 to get my car inspected (which didn't happen b/c the guy's machine was down and i realized i have a whole other month to do it - the number is faded from the sticker, i'm not actually blind). got

went to the blarney again tonight, with mariss and aaron and john. talked about a lot of nothign and bands we listened to in high school and saw dayna. hopefully she's gonna hang out soon. had an oatmeal cookie shot. it really tasted like oatmeal cookie. john wants to open a bar i told him he should open a shooter bar, and i'll do the marketing. it would be cool to have a "real job"/career.

2003-04-08T03:33:00.000-04:00

around this day last year i was 1. still in london 2. doing cool stuff at work 3. busting up the ice luge at deux beers 4. trying to schedule courses online at internet cafes and after work 5. thinking about the impending weirdness of coming home now i'm 1. at the beav 2. doing ... stuff 3. not busting up anything, but i am gonna be shoveling some snow in the a.m. 4. trying to decide which

2003-04-07T02:18:00.000-04:00

finally had two great shifts at work, $115 friday, $70 today, you can't beat that. spent the weekend at home. it was good to sleep, do some astronomy extra credit (why i went in the first place), do laundry, not spend money, and read for class. had the longest council meeting ever tonight. a lot of people really like our new advisor for her professionalism, but i don't know ... we're just

2003-04-02T00:39:00.000-05:00

tonight in my intercultural communication class, a student was speaking about how he is in support of the war. at first i respected him for speaking openly about his feelings. although i disagree entirely, i appreciated his willingness to present a view that opposes the view held by the majority of the student body (granted most of the class is adults, and i'm not sure what their opions are).

2003-04-01T00:27:00.000-05:00

had a good weekend, definitely. worked friday, hung out at the beav, tried to go to leit's but there was a line and rain was starting. went to the blarney, where somehow we did not know anyone. came home early, but stayed up doing pointless stuff. got up early saturday (930?) but somehow didn't leave for amherst till 1130. had a really good day shopping with danielle, even though all i got

2003-03-29T02:31:00.000-05:00

so. all these kids at school are figuring out their classes for the fall. and when i went to my mailbox today, there were a lot more people than usual at their boxes and all of them ripping open mail and saying things like "202" "7!" "no way" "45" .... housing lottery. weird to not be a part of it. also not weird to be real sad about it. i'm exhausted xoxo

2003-03-26T00:12:00.000-05:00

last wednesday ... what a rough life :) looking down from the 28th floor of our hotel at buildings the size of buildings in downtown worcester ... inside the pyramid mostly, i have my scanner hooked up and installed again, along with my imaging program which is kind of required for scanning, and i have the ftp thing back. yep. geek time. oh well. i can share so many fun pics now :)

2003-03-23T16:12:00.000-05:00

although it was much too cold, today was a good day. helena called at 945 to say work wasn't going to busy, so i didn't have to come in if i didn't want to. i decided i would rather make use of my day, than make $15 at work. somehow, i was fairly peppy and ready to go this morning, i had some breakfast, watched the golden girls, and went to the solomon pond mall. i didn't even see one thing

2003-03-08T15:42:00.000-05:00

7 full days of no caffeine, soda, alcohol, beef, pork, and poultry. but today i bought a bottle of caffeine free coke classic and it was great. still holding out on the caffeine & meat, at least. probably holding out on the alcohol for the weekend, anyway ... but we shall see. watched the four feathers .. pretty good. watched life without dick the other day, it was all right. my sister

6 days down, all successful. my mum has pointed out that it's a little silly to quit all these things at once. she may be right. i think if i can hold out for a few more days, say through sunday, i'll be happy. i think i'll just have to seriously regulate my soda/caffeine intake. :) so far at home i've: .spent a bit of time at cingular, adding text messaging, upgrading my plan, and adding "

status: day 4, still a success. + .random QT with webster house people .watching lots of movies .free yummy pizza dinner .the sundance channel - it shows entire movies, good ones, with no commercials. yeay! .mo got the sink unclogged, so we can finally wash some dishes. - .waking to a room so cold i could hardly bring myself to get out of bed. the thermostat in the living room said 55. which

2003-03-04T01:18:00.000-05:00

status: 3 days with no caffeine, no alcohol, no beef/pork/poultry ... the caffeine thing is tough, but I'm going strong. almost got peer pressured by jamie mo and vin to have a casual beer at open mic tonight, like i usually would, but stayed strong, held out. i know one beer doesn't hurt anything, but it's just the principle of completely cutting it out. + : spring break getting lots of

2003-03-02T01:46:00.000-05:00

+ : the food network (watched for several hours a day) sxe month (one day down ... although i had some soda, just to finish off what was in the fridge ... but that was balanced out by purchasing a box of decaf tea bags) possibly seeing breaking pangea tomorrow crossing things off my "to do" list fed. tax refund is on its way, hopefully before the vegas trip still all about takingbacksunday - :

2003-03-01T11:50:00.000-05:00

+ : taking back sunday spring break - : raspy voice not making $ at work

2003-02-21T02:12:00.000-05:00

i had so much fun at the show tonight. the first band, i didn't like so much. breaking pangea was good (would recommend) .... armor for sleep was okay, and hey mercedes was nothing short of fantastic. they started out with eleven to your seven, which is my favorite, and is a great starting song. :D it was awesome to see them this time, b/c the first time i saw them was here at school and i

2003-02-16T23:37:00.000-05:00

this weekend ... was only good times. friday work was all right ... i was in the state room as usual, but i wasn't very busy. i made okay bank and had a pretty good night. paul introduced me to my new fav. bev. - guiness with a double of stoli vanilla mixed right in. i tried it during my shift and stayed after for a full one with some boneless buffalo wings (of course) and just chatting with

2003-02-14T02:21:00.000-05:00

yesterday, helena called & woke me up to ask (well, tell) me to come into work today, which i didn't really want to do but luckily tim took the shift and i not only go to sleep untill whenever i woke up (which was only 1015 or so, but still! no alarm!) and got our little network working (with dad's help) and took kate to the bus and ran errands blah blah blah. so productive! made dinner for the

2003-02-12T00:32:00.000-05:00

so. yesterday i went to astronomy (aren't you proud?), culture & the news, and my office hour (and was productive!) hung around the beav, had cereal for dinner (cereal, clementines, bagels = all i now eat). Mariss had an exciting meeting that left her with some decision making for the week, and the chance to go somewhere like Africa or South America for the entirety of next year, and then

2003-02-10T01:48:00.000-05:00

i feel the need to write something, purely because i have my comp. back, and pipeline is up and running ... it took a few tries and a few minutes on the phone with patient and helpful Charter man (unlike the last one i talked to there ... boo abraham), but it's going strong now. so quick! worked today, had a party of what was supposed to be 34 and turned into 38 ... a little crazy for one person

2003-02-09T02:16:00.000-05:00

saturday ... didn't do much, and i should have done more homework. i did a little reading, watched t.v., made coffee (twice), and some dinner. i went to the grocery store (forgot milk). that's about it. i did apply online for a job at the boston beer company (sam adams), which sounds perfect, but which i doubt i would actually get. it's a start. i sent my resume to a couple of radio

2003-02-08T01:59:00.000-05:00

so, the plan show was excellent. tim came, and i got to meet up with dan and kev, who i haven't seen in over a year - really. not that i got to catch up with them or really hang out - but - it was great to see them. the plan was good, not my favorite time seeing them, but totally good. i guess we're usually a lot closer ... but that's not exactly it. dan and i were discussing this briefly

2003-02-06T12:11:00.000-05:00

the most interesting thing about yesterday was that i wore sweatpants and a sweatshirt for most of the day. while out on some errands i noticed my burgundy colored pants, pink scarf, and pink bag. yeah. apparently i like pink. my PR class was pretty good, got my first paper back, with an A and great comments. awesome. our group is still working really well together - no one gets offended,

2003-02-05T02:03:00.000-05:00

did not hit up the laundrymat on monday. someday i'm just going to have to go. that day may be thursday. what an adventure, hm? haha rock night at tortilla sam's was really good times. went late, aaron came, and it just all felt so much more energetic or something, i don't know, i just had a really great time. dad came down earlier in the evening and finished getting all our comps set up on

2003-02-03T01:56:00.000-05:00

good weekend. couldn't sleep thursday night till about 6 am and had to get up before 10. my mind was just racing and it felt like my heart was super hyped up. maybe it was the cold medicine i took. friday abby's party was a bust but we "explored" some worcester bars. unfortunately, we didn't find any place i would desperately want to go again, but at least it was something new. had a

2003-01-28T01:34:00.000-05:00

it's not a boy, it's a song. i have to get up at 5 am and look at the moon.

2003-01-27T01:01:00.000-05:00

i remember i when i bought this candle, i thought it smelled like him.

2003-01-27T00:50:00.000-05:00

yeay: - finally bought AA batteries, so i can use 1. the flash on my good camera and 2. my discman thing at the gym - danielle and meredith came for the superbowl, although we spent most of the time in my room catching up, exc. and i am prob. going to amherst thurs. score - great weekend. friday, awesome night at work, out with kate and lay, saw doug&jamie, john st., little sleep but saturday

2003-01-24T02:01:00.000-05:00

so ... the past week has definitely been good. last weekend i went to see adaptation (which I really liked and would like to watch again and again when it's on video). i went alone, for the first time since i have been back in the u.s. that was also kind of nice. we all did our own thing friday night. saturday we went out and mariss kate-dub and i left the foo early and went to tortilla

2003-01-16T20:11:00.000-05:00

back to school is going well ... granted i have no classes on thursdays, but astronomy and public relations - my very first grad course - both seem really good. we've already formed groups for the PR class for this semester-long project. i hate group projects. working in a team at work is one thing (did it in london, no problem) but group projects in school ... not always so great. kate's in

2003-01-12T01:38:00.000-05:00

okay, clark, bring it on. tomorrow everyone moves back, and tuesday classes start up. i'm ready ... i think. it would unnatural not to somewhat dread the beginning of school, especially since i've thoroughly enjoyed my fairly lazy break :) it's 2003. 2003 means i graduate college (whaaaat? scary). i am determined for this to be a good year. i am in much higher spirits than i've been in for

2003-01-09T01:01:00.000-05:00

you pull away and draw me in jawbreaker i ran two miles today and drank tomato juice. i finally bought on the road. i watched the mothman prophecies. creepy. i talked on the phone. it's good at home, but i'm not dreading going back to school ... it's nice ... i wonder if the fact that it's my last semester has something to do with it. ... there's next year, but it's going to be so different

2003-01-07T02:42:00.000-05:00

merry christmas, happy new year, all of it ... and late things have been good. i have not been busy at all. i have watched a lot of movies ... driven back and forth between worcester & the lb ... gone out with katie a few times ... that's about it. things that are great: 1. my friends (who i don't live with) referring to my apartment as "the beav" and my hometown as "the lb" 2. the people i

2002-12-21T03:32:00.000-05:00

so it's 330 and i just got back from this work get together thing at paul's a little while ago. how many people can say they've played "asshole" with their boss? i can now say i have. it was too funny. i got there around 12, intending to stay for just a bit, but we were playing cards and people were coming and going. everyone i work with is so different, and gets along (for the most part),

2002-12-18T22:49:00.000-05:00

i have spent most of the day being kind of lazy, or at least it feels that way. i have actually done quite a bit of research for my t.v. paper, which basically means i went through every part of the dawson's creek website doing screen grabs and taking notes. lay and i got blue jeans for dinner and watched life or something like it and may head to the bar for a drink later. i'm livin' the

2002-12-14T15:03:00.000-05:00

so, my birthday? awesome. i saw tons of fun friends, got fun presents, and all together had a good night. i will be posting pictures, now that my computer is back up and running. finals/end of semester stuff? well, last monday tuesday and wednesday were pretty hardcore, with a t.v. journal and article outline due monday, video journal & final music video due monday afternoon, a larger than

2002-11-28T13:36:00.000-05:00

happy thanksgiving! it's so nice to be home. i came up tuesday after class, and so far i have 1. watched picture perfect, panic room, and monster's inc. 2. gone pre-christmas shopping shopping and got lunch with my sis 3. gotten lots of sleep in my waaarm bed 4. drank lots of coffee 5. made 2 pies 6. went to the doctor's - i have a sinus infection :( time to go see if mum needs any help.

2002-11-24T03:08:00.000-05:00

2002-11-18T16:32:00.000-05:00

i told greg i'd write about him. greg is in stud co as much as i am, except he doesn't have to be there. but it's good times, it's like how studco used to be - awwwwww if only liser came over xoxo

2002-11-15T10:08:00.000-05:00

hey hey ! not so much to report ... things are just goin' along. i haven't had much work lately which is sooooo nice. yesterday in cultural psych we had an over-an-hour-long discussion about "ART." this girl who at the beginning of the semester kept calling portraits "facials" was doing her whole act of "well i know everything in the entire world and i know all the rules and everything is

2002-11-07T19:50:00.000-05:00

hey, it's wicked cold outside. we were out for over two hours today working on our capstone research thing. we got a lot of people to participate, so that was great, including one boy whose phone number kat got "in case we need to ask more questions," because mariss thinks i should date him. riiiight. vin treated mo and i to dinner in the caf on his meal card b/c they were showing spiderman
