i just ate a slice of watermelon that changed my whole day.

i've come down with a cold in the middle of summer, and i was totallly miserable and feeling sorry for myself. and then, i went to the counter at meshuggah and aaron (a very sweet barista) presented me with a plate, a fork, and a huge bowl of watermelon pieces to select from.

only a week later and i'm back. i'm very proud.

went to novak's last night with liz and halliday. fun times. ran into the whole young umsl contingent. very cute bunch of folks. if they ran the place i wouldn't be so loath to return.

but i'm not going to stay sick goddammit. i'm not. i have to go to orlando and to new york in the next couple of weeks, and i'm not going to be sick doing that.

other than that ( Read more... )

well, chicago was a whole lot of fun. i think i gained at least five pounds despite all the walking. you just can't eat out at every meal and stay svelte. and of course there was the eternal lure of dunkin donuts around every corner.  toby and i hit the gay clubs and managed to do a little fake-celeb spotting, i.e. shane from road rules. lots of ( Read more... )
