socks

i hate these socks; they manage to be abrasive and stick to my feet at the same time. i've always hated them. i don't know why i don't just throw them out. when i get home i'll throw them out....

my addiction

i forgot my lip balm on my dresser. this is going to be a bad day....

the walking dead

duuuuuuude. i am so frakking tired lately. what's the deal? ...

need central heat

at this moment it is 91°F in my apartment. it's the middle of winter and i'm sweating like it's august. ahhh. reminds me of living in my freshman dorm....

cookies & cupcakes

mmm...cookies. these make me want to bake something. maybe some more fancy cupcakes or a pinapple upside-down cake. haven't had one of those in awhile. who has a stable oven i can use?...

contacts

at this point i only bother to wear my contacts because i don't want to get funny glasses tan lines on my face. does consistent face-color mean more to me than my corneas? ...apparently, yes....

i love my grandparents

my grandparents liked 'brokeback mountain' better than 'walk the line'....

functions

note to self: use more functions when writing applications. why have i been retyping the same database queries over and over? i was all over functions, or components, or whatever, in coldfusion so why didn't that knowledge transfer over to...

where's my mom?

since i left for university my mom and i have mainly communicated via IM. if i don't see her online by mid-afternoon i start to get worried that something's happened to her. if she doesn't see me online by mid-afternoon...

at least it wasn't a minivan

it's a little disconcerting to hear your friends say things like "this is the car we'll have when we have kids" or "i just bought a building on the west side" or "isn't your biological clock ticking yet?"...

ahhhh

so much easier to type with trimmed fingernails....

tastes like ______

cardboard-flavored water isn't awful tasting, but it's pretty gross when you're expecting regular water. after the initial shock it wasn't so bad. ...ok, it was still horrible....

i think they really missed the boat on some merchandising opportunities here

taquitos and cranberry juice. bad idea....

girls' night out

there is something bizarre and awesome about how cecile and my "girls' night out" means pulled pork bbq sandwiches and 'grindhouse'....

throbbing

if this headache doesn't go away soon i might have to throw myself out a window. been going on almost two weeks now and seems to be hitting its zenith right...now....

splurge

my parents and grandma are getting me a nice digital piano for christmas (and next christmas...and my next birthday...for the next two years) and i just spent $60 on sheet music. are we noticing a theme here? sheet music, comics,...

nerds

yes, i'm watching 'bill nye the science guy'. yes i totally had a crush on him ("did you know this is the same compass that compass man uses?"). ok, so i still do. when he makes guest appearances on 'numbers'...

californication

it's weird to watch shows that are all about LA now that i'm living here. everyone has such a wildly different view of the city, and in one night you can see 5 completely different LAs. i still haven't completely...

scarves

my favorite season is autumn. i love how the trees turn color. i love the way the air smells - crisp, and where i grew up, with a hint of burning leaves. i love the clothes - jackets and skirts...

it was almost 90 degrees today.

i miss fall....

so many cups

there's something hilarious about how in the break room on this floor (and i assume every floor) there's a wall of shelves and they're all filled with stacks of paramount-branded paper cups. surely this money could've been put to better...

can someone recommend a good archival framing place?
