Growing up is kind of frustrating.  I like the wisdom (ha. 23 years of wisdom. just call me Yoda.) and the experience that I have, as opposed to when I was a little kid, but being a child definitely had its advantages.  What child has the pressure of writing the perfect cover letter / resume?  Okay, maybe genius children who graduate from med ( Read more... )

I have a theory that all even-numbered years are cursed for me.  They always turn out wretched.  I will not focus on all of the horrible wretchedness of this year.  Suffice to say, 2009 can only get better ( Read more... )

I'm going batshit crazy. I'm so restless. Life here is okay. It has its ups and downs.

Latest bad news: Aunt Mary died last night. I'm pretty upset. Funeral is Thursday. Hey, just saying my goodbyes. The living was the prize: the ending's not the story.  At least she lived a nice long life.

Pudgy cat is wishing to play.  I must go. 

"You were with me.  What could have gone wrong?!"

Does EMU just NOT GET that if it's fucking snowing and there's a foot of snow on the roads with black ice underneath it, it's TIME TO CLOSE SCHOOL!  OH SURE!  They claim "we have 8000 students within one mile walking distance of campus."  That's great.  That's just fucking great.  WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 15,000 STUDENTS?!?!  Son of a fucking whore.  ( Read more... )

Top Chef has pleased me greatly.  After they let Sam go, I never thought I could watch it ever again, but they have redeemed themselves.  Congrats, Ilan!
