just nothing going on. sleeping a lot. playing the sims 2. researching earplugs so that i don’t kill the child living next door. the parents of said child let it scream and throw tantrums when the people whose bedroom window is along the semi-shared driveway are pleasantly asleep. would it be rude to yell out [...]

busy busy busy
my parents and auntie came down from the bay area for my concert this weekend. they arrived friday, we did dessert from scoops (the girlfriend is sooo cool!) and then dinner at canter’s. because it was insanely hot, we moved the portable air conditioner into the den so our guests would be comfortable. consequently, we [...]
take me out to the ball game
i don’t know how much baseball i can stand to watch this year. the la times said today that there’s a chance that this will be the first team in giants history to lose 100 games. entirely possible. entirely depressing. i’m glad bonds is gone, but really, could they not have thought about the aftermath? [...]
guilt. it’s a wonderful thing
after a weekend of eating too much and sleeping in and not contributing anything to anything but our own gluttony, we had to come back to the reality of los angeles and our very very warm apartment. but The Girlfriend had a change of heart and let me buy my air conditioner today. see, she [...]
the freaks come out at night
well, what’d i expect, going grocery shopping at 11:00pm at night? we cleaned out the fridge today and realized that we had nothing left after getting rid of all the take out. after foraging for what we could for lunch and dinner, we decided it was high time we bought food to make at home, [...]

long day’s journey into
jeez, i forgot what i was saying. i guess i’m out of practice–i can’t gogogo all day and still have energy to lift my ass out of the chair and get ready for bed. it’s not even 11:30 and i’m pooped. picked up my glasses at 9:15 this morning. got a mani/pedi at 9:45. was [...]
argh. stress. yuck.
i thought fridays were supposed to be fun? my friday is looming, beginning 8 or so hours from now when i drive across town to pick up my new old replacement glasses. last week on our way out of town, we stopped to get gas and somehow my glasses ended up under the car. so [...]
checking them off my list
of things to do. today the neighbors next door (the ones closest to our bedroom window, natch) had a garage sale. they started putting stuff out before 8am and i awoke to the sounds of haggling and things being dragged out of the garage. 8am on a saturday morning is not my idea of a [...]
the things that are in my head
are kind of weird. here’s what’s been orbiting around the grey matter. i used to not like nuts in my dessert. not in brownies, cookies, ice cream. especially ice cream. and never in chocolate. lately though, i’ve been ok with the nuts. walnuts, pecans, almonds. not peanuts. i wonder if my newfound like of them [...]
