having a strange few days--healthwise, anyways. i did something to the right side of my jaw--it sort of randomly popped and has been really sore and unable to move much. then yesterday i had this weird migraine that started out in the back of my head, moved to the front left corner and back in my eyes and then ended the day in my teeth, if that ( Read more... )

last weekend was the journeying to st louis to see rebecca.. and i've come to realize that i really don't mind driving through kentucky--it goes on forever, but it reminds me of alabama, for which i have fond thoughts. rebecca's apartment is pretty awesome, though; it's huge. i wanted to take pictures of it, but my phone died before i could--took ( Read more... )

heh.

it's been raining incessantly here all day--when i got out of work all the cars were plastered with white petals from the bradford pear trees along the roadside. wilco was last thursday.. they were amazing. our seats were actually rather satisfactory, too, actually because of being late getting tickets. we were in the part for handicapped seats ( Read more... )

sunday i, kind of randomly, drove out to house mountain state park to do some hiking--it was still very crisp out, and it rained a little, but it was gorgeous. this trail takes you up to the top ridge, where you can just see for ages out. there was this pond that was sort of shining green, looked very gem-like with the bare trees shadows along ( Read more... )

i had this dream two days ago, about making pizza.. but having to run to a bilo to get an onion, and while walking towards the store, i run into michael scott, one of my very best friends from seventh grade on, singing on the sidewalk with some other guy. now, i haven't heard from michael in real life in two years, havent seen him in probably four ( Read more... )

it's snowing!! actual snow! I have not seen actual snow--not the slushy sleet some people call snow in chatt--in at least a few years, apart from during a brief trip to boone last march. none of it's sticking now, though; it did thursday morning--it was beautiful, but i guess it's too warm today. my birthday is a week from monday.. i was toying ( Read more... )

this past week--i don't know if it's something i'm eating or what, but i've had the most vivid and bizzarre dreams. the first one wasnt' too strange, about an abandoned puppy, accidentally abandoned by me, i felt completely horrible through the whole thing. then there was a very beautiful one the next night where liz tapp and i went to bethel, nc ( Read more... )

so possibly the most shitty part about the new position is that we don't have the internet on our computers.. not b/c it was never there, but b/c they took it away... there was also a big meeting (ie female gripe fest) that lasted a good hour and a half our second day there. there are three women supervising the group, and the group consists of a ( Read more... )

hangin' out in the reading room... love that there's still always someone who will let me in. :)  antoinette and i had some pizzia at pisa, saw several people there.  apparently their oven recently broke and had to be replaced or something and their still adjusting to the new one--so it took even longer than it usually does, but it's generally ( Read more... )
