no, i’m not dead, though it’s not for school’s lack of trying. recently i have had time to go to the gym (sometimes), go to a show (but leave early), and have a good valentine’s day weekend, but that is about it. this whole traveling-every-other-weekend setup is making me reevaluate my homework policy, which has previously consisted mainly of procrastination and laziness, and i have started getting things done ahead of time (!), but this weekend i had to check out a laptop from the ischool so i could get some work done in the car. it was mostly some ui design, so i was sitting in the car with the laptop writing html, and i felt very grown-up. this happens less and less now that i am surrounded by adults with partners and children and homes and careers that they left to come back to school, and who i feel must think i’m a silly little kid who knows nothing about the world. which is potentially true.
also adding to “where the hell did my time go” syndrome are the fact that i now have three students, two of whom i meet downtown for tutoring, so i have 40 minutes to an hour of bus time twice a week to meet with them, and the fact that i am trying to stop eating crap food and eating out, so i have to, you know, take time to cook stuff that’s not ramen. i bought an eggplant the other day at the market. it was so shiny and purple, i just couldn’t resist. i think i will make eggplant parmesan tonight.

Eggplant Parmesean is so delicious. You can also make eggplant with a ramen amount of time by marinating it and putting it in your foreman grill. If you have one.
I say make babaganoosh! (I have no idea how to spell it but it sure is yummy!)
Yummy!!! That sounds so good I think I’m going to get lunch. Thanks for taking time out of your busy busy life to have sushi with me!!!
Yay, Old 97s!
The little library laptop was so cute despite looking a little retro, but it really wasn’t that old. It made my seven-pound Dell Inspiron look like a behemoth. Huge, I tell you! YU-UGE!
which tim are you? seattle tim? are you going to see the old 97s at the showbox on like march 12th?
i think you were in my dream the other night. but it was about a big party with a bunch of sho’s friends. so i guess it makes sense.
