Thought I Should Keep to Myself
I'm in the library and I just came in from outside and printed something off and the papers so warm from the printer that it makes me want to put it on my face to warm it up.

Project! Need your help!!
I'm a total hypocrite. Every day I check everyone else's blogs and if they haven't updated I think to myself "DAMNIT, I ALREADY READ THAT. UPDATE! UPDATE!" But do I update? Not so much. I probably post less often than anyone. So here I am posting, but I dont really have anything interesting to talk about today.
I had a long day. Got to campus at 11 and didn't get home until 11 at night. Okay, so those last two hours were spent in a bar and not at school...
Tomorrow I dont have to do anything. No school, no work.
Okay, here's something of note
I NEED EVERYONE'S HELP FOR A PROJECT.
It's for my RIDICULOUS photography class. The assignment was to do 'systematic' photography like "I'm going to take a picture of every watertower from twenty feet away". Mine isn't quite what she wants but she's letting me get away with it- I'm going to ask fifty different people what they wouldn't want to live without, and then I'm going to go out and photography those fifty things and make a project out of it.So here's where I need you're help
Respond in the comments or email me
Finish the following sentence "I wouldn't want to live without..." and then give a short explanation. It can be something specific like "I wouldn't want to live without McDonald's cheeseburgers" or it can be something abstract like "I wouldn't want to live without laughing". Whatever you like!
In other news, I called Danny sometime last week and he hasn't called me back yet. After all that we've been through. After all the years I worked three jobs to keep him clothed and in school. *Sigh* It hurts, it hurts...

Hey kids, did I ever tell you about the storm of '05?
Madness. So we're supposed to get 18 in. of snow today. That's a lot of snow. But not THAT much. It's enough that I decided not to go into the city and hang out with Sara like I was planning to, because I don't really want to DRIVE in a foot and a half of snow. But, I didnt think it was a huge deal. And then I tried to go grocery shopping this morning. First of all, there's a huge parking lot and it took me 20 min. to find a parking space. I actually had to do that thing where you stalk people back to their cars and turn you're blinker on and wait. But I get one. And I go in. There are no carts, anywhere in the store. There are no carts in the parking lot. I had to go up to someone who was unloading their groceries in their car and ask for their cart. The guy gave it to me and he's like "good luck, there's barely any food on the shelves" and I'm like haha and he's like, "no, I'm serious". And I go inside. There are A MILLION people in the freaking store. Okay, so there was food on the shelves, but there was definately a lot less than there usually is. There was no shredded cheese. Not one bag in the three foot long display case. Is there something I dont know about cheese? Is is some kind of survival food? There were a lot of other things that were gone too, so, for your convienience, I've made a list of things you need to buy in case of a snowstorm, based on what everyone else had bought out.
1. Jello Gelatin individually packed cups
2. Orange juice
3. CHEESE. ANY KIND OF CHEESE.
5. Milk for lactose intolerant people
Don't ask questions. If you're going to survive a blizzard you need these things.
After I finished shopping I waited in line. For 45 minutes. The lines stretched from the registers all the way down the food aisles.
Maybe people thought they said 18 feet of snow.

From McSweeneys "Lists"
THINGS I'D PROBABLY SAY
IF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION WERE JUST
A WEEKLY TV SHOW AND I WERE
A REGULAR VIEWER.
By Eric Maierson
"Now, see, you can't just go and do something like that. That would be illegal."
"Boy, someone's gonna get fired for that."
"Wasn't that the one who made all the mistakes? Why is she getting promoted?"
"Come on, in real life you'd never get away with something like that."
"They really expect us to believe that?"
"Am I the only one confused here?"
"Does this make any sense to you?"
"Why is this still on?"

My brain won't go to sleep. I went to bed at 11 and it's now 12:30. I lay in bed and think about the most random things for HOURS. So there's this guy who was a friend of mine in high school and was really cool, but I haven't talked to him or really thought about him in like four years, at least. And now, all of the sudden, he's in EVERY SINGLE DREAM I HAVE. Just out of nowhere. How wierd is that? Do you think its a premenition? Do you think it's like that lady in Medium? Ha. Just kiddin. But it is wierd.

Misheard Lyrics
You know that song "Everybody Walk the Dinosaur" from the 80's?
Rob seems to think the lyrics are "Everybody wants a dinosaur". That's funny.
So I was thinking people should post lyrics they 'misheard'
A guy I went to high school with thought that "Suicide Blond" was "Soup and Salad Bar" and my friend Jess thought "Little Red Corvette" was "Pay the rent Colette".
Also, you should go here, it's a whole site devoted to that and sometimes I cry when I read them cause they're hilarious.

This is an article on CNN today-
LINCOLN, Nebraska (AP) -- Sen. Ben Nelson finally has succeeded in getting President Bush to stop calling him by the nickname "Nellie."
Bush had been referring to the Nebraska Democrat as "Nellie" since 2001.
Nelson disliked the nickname and had asked the president to stop using it.
The president likes to give people nicknames. He has called Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, "Pootie-Poot," while aide Karen Hughes gets "High Prophet."
But Bush heeded Nelson's request to scrap his moniker, and at the recent White House Christmas party, the president referred to Nelson as "Benny."
"The president had a twinkle in his eye when he called me that," Nelson said. "He knew what he had done. I said, 'Thank you, Mr. President."'
..umm... wait.. back up. He called the leader of Russia "pootie-poot"?!? Are you KIDDING me with this?

Coolest Thing Ever
Who said Oprah magazine was a waste of money? There was an article about this website freecycle.org in there this month. It's organized by where you live- people post things that they have but no longer want and then other people can claim them. Everything is free, you just have to go pick it up. At first I'm like, yeah, but who's going to put anything good on there for free? But they have all kinds of good stuff- furniture, TV's, bikes, etc. And if you have something you want to get rid of you can post it and someone will come pick it up from you. Go get free stuff!!

An Offer You Can't Refuse
I have just, for the first time, seen The Godfather.
Here's what bothered me-
The bodyguard, Paulie, what the heck was with him? He CALLED IN the day the Godfather got shot? Buddy, you dont work at an office. You're a bodyguard for a mob boss. You dont just call in. You're sick? SUCK IT UP. Shouldn't have messed with the family...

Quickie
Here's a story-
After two of our roommates moved out junior year, Sara and I had to find a new TV, because the previous TV belonged to one of our roommates. Here's the conversation that took place.
Sara: Do you have a TV at home we could use in the living room?
Me: Well there's a pretty big one in the basement, but I don't want to bring it because it doesn't have cable.
Sara: What do you mean it doesn't have cable?
At that point I remembered that TV's don't come with or without cable.
The End.

Things I like and My Dad is Getting a Nose Job As We Speak
Okay, it's not really a nose job. He has sleep apnea (yeah, it's spelled wrong, SO WHAT, PUNK?)because the septum in his nose is crooked, so he's having surgery today. But it's a lot funnier when you say he's getting a nose job. And it'll irritate him, and that's more fun. I tried to call him to see how it went, but he didn't answer. Think that has anything to do with anesthesia? hmm...
I continue to love Netflix. Here are some other things I like. Kind of like Oprah's Favorite Things list, except none of these things are expensive, and I'm not giving any of them away. And there are only two of them, which doesn't really constitute a list.
1. Candles. But nothing heavy, I like fruity and outdoorsy scents. I just got one that smells like green grass. You go into Yankee Candle and they have all these candles that smell like cinnamon buns and sugar cookies- I wouldnt want my house to smell like cinnamon buns all the time because, a. it would make me hungry constantly and b. it simultaneously makes me feel full and sleepy.
2.This recipe for Greek Salad Pitas
1 cucumber
3 Tbsp. olive oil
3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp. salt
3 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce
2 cups diced tomatoes
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
6 round pitas, cut in half
Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, and salt. Add cucumber, tomato, romaine and feta. Mix together and put in pitas. Eat.
You can also add olives, if you like

Pictures Pictures Pictures
Lots and lots of new pictures from Christmas and New Years have been posted, see them here
I watched 4 hours of television tonight, started reading a book and read a few short stories, and took a nap. And I still have a whole week and a half of vacation left.

New Years at Shakespeares--12/31/04
Today is the blessed day of my birth.
At 11:33 a.m. 24 years ago I was alive.
And I haven't done much since then.
Ha.
Just kidding.
We went to see The Life Aquatic tonight. It was.. interesting. I think I liked it. But at the same time, it was really really wierd. I have mixed feelings. However, if you liked The Royal Tenenbaums then you will like this. Because it was like The Royal Tenenbaums set on a ship.
In other news, I was just on the phone with Sara telling her how I was going to eat my own brain if I dont find something to do for the next two weeks. I have NOTHING to do. I can't work because the school is closed. School doesn't start until the 18th. All the other grad students are still at home. I tried doing things like watching TV and reading, but those didn't exactly hold my interest.
If you would like to suggest fun and exciting activities, feel free to comment.

Hello, you fool...
It's been a long time since I posted. I'm packing up all my stuff and getting ready to go back to NY bright and early tomorrow morning.

Rob starts school back up Monday, but I dont have any work or school until the 18th.
Tomorrow from 6am to 6pm-ish we'll be driving driving driving.
Happy New Year!
