My cat likes to sit with me as I do my homework and play around on the computer. He revels in sprawling out over my notebooks, he naps on the warm keys of my laptop, insisting I take a break, demanding my attention. When he becomes too obnoxious I remove him, toss him aside until he resigns to sitting on the uninhabited desk, sniffing at my tea or ( Read more... )

I'm working an a lab report I have no real intention of finishing (or so it would seem if you judge by my startlingly slow pace) when I decide I need a break. What do I do? take a little stroll around facebook, totally harmless. Look through a few pictures from a party I attended that were recently posted, respond to a quick message, maybe even ( Read more... )

I am overplaying "still fighting it" by ben folds. I probably listened to it about fifteen times already. I do that from time to time, probably a symptom of being a little depressed or contemplative or however it is that I've been this week. I normally just listen to Joni Mitchell on vinyl in my room; I can do that for hours. The other day I had " ( Read more... )

I bought two brownie medium format cameras from the early 1930's, another 50's medium format, an AWESOME Kodak 35mm and an 8mm movie camera in the last, oh, 24 hours. One of the brownies was $3, the other $5, I got the other three in a bundle for a mere $5. HOLY CRAP THIS IS AWESOME ( Read more... )

I will let myself be distracted by friends, I flow around with whatever wind is blowing my way. But now, here in the photo lab, I'm wishing I could live that life where you go home for the day around five and cook dinner, read a book, do a little studying and go to bed. A quiet, serene life. of course, if I really wanted that I wouldn't have built ( Read more... )

Every time I have a decision to make, a serious decision, I run away to Nova's bakery and watch the sunset. There are at least two entries like that, probably many, many more on this blog. I guess it works.

Just something I noticed.

So if you ever call me and I'm all "I'm in Nova's right now" you know. Big life decision making time.

Today I did that thing where I sleep too much and I don't get much accomplished ( Read more... )
