sorry lisa, no typewriter again. but you do get a milkshake later! that is good penance methinks.so lots has happened since the last post i guess? i'm trying to think. there was matt's birthday, which was a blast. even now i think of pee-girl and start laughing. oh man. watch out folks, i might have gone from no-dancing to going out lots. this motown night business is a fucking riot. i

man.man oh man man-man. shabadoo.i almost don't want to blog to risk jinxing things. but things are so lovely, i don't even know. having amazing friends, having coworkers who look out for you, having profs who show you mercy, making amends with people long written-off; this week has been unreal. but the best part is that there's still been shit, parking tickets, school trouble, bad days at

god bless friends.in all shapes and sizes. they continually surprise me, and i don't think i really stop to take stock of the amazing people i have around me anywhere near enough. sometimes i think i get so focused on trying to be self-sufficient that i forget how comforting a helping hand can be. so, big shout-outs to jon for cathartic recording, and holly. i know this is verging on dr.phil/

waiting for the 41 today, granville&41st; a mercedes-benz rolls up. black. shiny. driving is a middle-aged asian woman. she's alternating between looking in the rearview and turning around. she's talking fast and angrily. i follow the gaze. passenger side back seat sits an asian boy of probably 11. he is apparently in trouble, his mother grows more animated. he stares silently out the

i am in the cooking mood.i don't know where it comes from: usually visuals set me off, as if i subconciously intend to make the culinary equivalent of what i saw. somehow, today calls for a chicken curry stirfry. except i really, really need to cure my skillet. i made hashbrowns the other night (hashbrowns may be the perfect storm of potatoes. i know that is a contentious statement coming

hey, lookit that there, i's got a blog.i'm at school for the first time in two weeks. don't ask me whether i went to class, because i didn't, and no one wants to hear about that. what you also don't want to hear about is how i'm sick of remembering cheery fucking stories for you people. YOU PEOPLE. nothing attracts the readers like unambiguous aggression. oh look nick drake is on now. ok

i like my film class.i don't know why i don't go more often. i think i will start. the prof is witty, the movies are varied and good, and we have an actual theatre. i don't know why it is that movies are so much more engaging in a theatre, but it's the truth. i guess it would get old if you had one in your house. soon you'd be knitting or playing catch while the stupid movie played. but for

i am eating meatless meatballs. this is a trick my mom played on us today. the trick we played on her is that they're actually pretty good. well, until they get stroganof sauce on them. i don't know who invented stroganof, but i'm going to crap in his pillowcase when i find out. anyway, schneider's meatless meatballs are pretty tasty, but there is one important caveat: they contain egg

yesterday was pretty awesome, in the nice surprising way. i had intended to get up early, do laundry, go to school, come home and catch up on reading. i started out my failures by sleeping in. way in. like 1:30 in. so i missed caribbean history. had to drive in and stash the car at work to make it to china&thewest. went to mac lab, wrote the previous entry, during which i think i drew up

watched "the birds" in class today. i had forgotten how great that movie is. i had also forgotten what a fox tippi hedren was. rawr. curiously, i did recall thinking the same thing the first time i saw the movie (i was 12 or so): the scene between Melanie Daniels and Annie Hayworth = total lesbian tension. seriously. it's crazy. i swear to god when they turned off those cameras, whooo boy.

"I recall my late friend Alex. He was an aspiring novelist who lined his tiny, roach-infested studio apartment (in one of those vanilla brick buildings near the United Nations) with bookshelves stuffed to capacity, so that whenever he bought a new book he had to dispose of one of equivalent width. Most of us just make piles. Precarious ones are even now threatening to topple over onto my
