that’s what we pay him for, that’s why we pray

i’m such a wimp.
last night we watched totoro and it was super cute. i supsect that for other people it’s about monsters or spirits or whatever the hell totoro is, but for me it’s about sisters. especially the part where the little one gets lost and the big one is so worried. it made me [...]

half of the time we’re gone but we don’t know where

last night we went to see garden state at the bijou. i quite liked it, and not just because of adorable zach braff. it’s just a movie about some people who do some stuff. they drink and they ride around on a motorcycle with a sidecar and they talk a lot. and they don’t know [...]

but the moment passes as the sun moves on

this is the weekend of feeling relieved.
i finished this term’s last (awful) paper on friday night at about 10:30. the feeling after finishing a term is always unfamiliar to me. i can wake up in the morning and lie in bed, or i can get up and do the dishes, or i can sit on [...]

a fine and fancy ramble to the zoo

i guess it’s ok that no one was around to email me last week, because i actually got some things done. i just turned in an assignment two days early! this never happens to me. it was a really easy assignment, but still. now i only have to research, start, and finish a ten-page paper [...]

get from the things i do to the things i should

how am i supposed to waste time all day if no one is around to email me? it’s ridiculous. you don’t have other things to do! you don’t need to work! you need to email me!
i seem to have injured the surface of my tongue by eating too much homemade garlic vinaigrette. it feels like [...]

he still found time to write to her

there is not much news on the three-bean salad front today, except that i am going to make a whole bunch tonight and take it to stephanie‘s potluck. i have never actually been to a potluck before, and i am excited to have a yummy thing to take!
even if it is a toga potluck. my [...]

you have a word for every woman you can lay your eyes on

i want shelby‘s barbecue to come so i can make three-bean salad for it. i want to make three-bean salad all the time every day. i want to think up boring things to blog about. i want to sing dar williams loudly. i do not want to do my work.
yesterday at the grocery store i [...]

perhaps he’s dead, i’ll just make sure

twice now in about a week, bugs have crawled out of the couch, or from the floor via the couch, onto my leg. the first one was an earwig, super awful ew gross, and this time it was an ant. the worst part is it makes me scream like a girl.

(song: “boris the spider,” the [...]

i’ve got a weak heart

i don’t remember now why i started to post. safeway’s $3 wine isn’t nearly as good as my beloved two buck chuck. roommate bryon and i are ostensibly doing homework but really watching the season finale (i think) of joe schmo, which is funny but ethically questionable.
i made fabulous three- (actually four-) bean salad this [...]

you’re a long way from where you belong

also, this morning i have had nothingness for about an hour already, and it has not gone away like it usually does. i feel like i do everything wrong and i am too easily distracted and i have no control over what i do or think or feel. but i don’t know why i have [...]
