Last night I made valentine’s day cookies with Sarah. We made a bunch of multi-size heart-shaped sugar cookies that we decorated with frosting and toppings, but for some of them we cut letters and mini-heart shapes out of the middle of larger heart-shaped cookies and then filled the centers with broken pieces of jolly ranchers, such that when you ( Read more... )

Tonight I went to the 10th Anniversary celebration of an alternative education program, called The HOME Project, that I was a founding member of *way* back when I was a sophomore in high school. The basic premise of the program was to let kids shape their own education via self-envisioned community based projects: we would come up with things we ( Read more... )

I’ve felt like death warmed over for 4 days now…*cough*

I’m actually getting sore from laying in my bed too much, there’s absolutely nothing I want to watch anymore and my brain is all fuzzy and sore from the extensive coughing.

Thursday Night: Had dinner with Mel and Zack. Had my first encounter with Shepard’s Pie, which I rather liked. Mmmm po-ta-toes! Discussions included disappointment in the caliber of certain Stanford graduate students, the ridiculousness of ghost riding, and who’s likely to be a real contender for the Democratic ticket for President in 2008. We’re ( Read more... )

I just went to Tully's for my afternoon jolt of coffee and, while waiting, I overhear a girl say to her friend:

"Well, we *were* friends...and then we were lovers...and now we're enemies!"

I burst out laughing right there on the spot! Indeed, that relationship progression seems to be a common one...   ;)

Loved this the first time I saw it. Still think it's funny. If you haven't seen the documentary "This Film Is Not Yet Rated", keep an eye out. It's worth watching.
