(11/28/08) Sorry about the 15 day hiatus. Unfortunately, I'm just about terrible at remembering that I can use this to trick myself into thinking my life, and what goes on in it, are somehow important. It's that same feeling of self importance that drives most bloggers. They, however, sometimes do have something to contribute. I just whine every couple days. Oh well. IF that comes off as being all depressive and ridiculous, I apologize. I'm really feeling quite fine.In very very very positive news, Kristen and I are now dating. Sorry if that came out of nowhere, I guess i haven't properly introduced the internet to my current girlfriend. She and I had met at the beginning of last year, and have been friends since then. Now we're dating. One hell of an intro, right? Right. I really like her quite a lot, and am very excited to see where this goes. It's pretty good so far. Also: I have been readmitted to case, which means i'll finally be returning to school after a semester off. This is also great news. Why? Because I hate being stuck at home. I'm pretty much losing my mind here. Although I do love thanksgiving, and family gatherings, and food, and warmth... I would quickly trade all of that to be able to live on my own terms. I've been independent enough, for long enough, to know that I enjoy living my life in a certain way. Unfortunately, that way is not at all like how the rest of my family likes to live. I know its not much, but i have my routines, i have my eating habits, etc. etc.... and my family very much likes to make such things difficult. I dont know. I just can't wait to move out. (11/13/08) What a delightful day. As much as I appreciate la familia, I would rather not spend much time around them. Perhaps it has something to do with having spent a good year at university, far away from any sembelance of family. Perhaps it has something to do with spending 6 months working a full time (where full time really meant 50-60+hours) job. Either way, I'm not much of a fan of being at home with nothing to do.Perhaps even better than being at home is being at home, watching my sister. Sigh. This is going to be a long day. (11/12/08) Today i spent a good 4 hours at the library, reading some woolf, picking up some organic cookbooks, etc. etc. It was an incredibly white day. Especially since i rode my bike to and from, and stashed the books into a messenger bag. Great.
(11/11/08) Congratulations all. Happy Corduroy Appreciation Day.In other news, I recently downloaded five different Bill Bryson audiobooks. I think this is important for a number of reasons. The first of which is the fact that I'll return to Case in January as a much more educated, though perhaps anecdotal, person. The second, and perhaps far more important reason, is simply that I am so completely without anything to do that I am tacitly dedicating some 56 hours of my life to Bryson and his writings. I think I'll start with "In a Sunburned Country". I had once read though a portion of it, and I think it deserves a much closer study. Cheers to that. (11/10/08) I only seem to update this during the month of November. Odd, right?The last update was the 21st of November, 2007. the previous batch of updates ended November 21st, 2004. Screw you, November 21st! I'm going to write eleven days earlier! It still astonishes me that angelfire is up and running. Considering that they have hosted my domain for at least 4 years, with minimal traffic and zero dollars paid, I'm beginning to wonder how they make their money. |
