So, 75% of the events on my social calendar for the month decided to fall on this past weekend, specifically Saturday. I went to work in the morning, then had an a cappella audition in Arlington in the afternoon. Pete drove me to my audition, and then we got dinner at Fire + Ice in Harvard Square. Then we laid down in the park for a while, ( Read more... )

I'm at the Jave Room using wireless internet on my brand new laptop! It's pretty! :) (Unfortunately the wireless doesn't work in our apartment yet, but we're fixing that...) My old laptop, Juanita Slutbag, was a good, good laptop, considering I got her used at a computer show over 3 years ago. I took her with me to Denmark and to Argentina, ( Read more... )

Just a quick note to say, I am reading Sigrid Nunez's The Last of Her Kind right now, and it is very, very good. Amanda, if you're looking for a book to read right now, I think you would especially like this one. It's the story of two female college roommates at Barnard in the late sixties. It's one of those nice, hearty stories where you really ( Read more... )

So, I've kinda given up on reading 'serious' literature for the time being (the time being, like, the past 2 weeks and an indefinite number of subsequent weeks). When people come in to the bookstore to ask for suggestions for summer reading , I've taken to suggesting YA books to them (especially women...but then, it always seems that women are ( Read more... )

It's come to my attention that I have been reading a lot of science fiction lately. Not only that, but enjoying it! Me, the girl who's spent almost her whole life insisting she can't stand sci fi. What I don't like is fantasy. I've always lumped the two together before, but I appreciate sci fi's realism, the feeling that it actually could happen ( Read more... )

Here is a picture of our cat. We think he's gay. He totally hangs with Pete much more than me. But I love him anyway.

So, I turn around, and it looks like I haven't updated this thing in a month. Yeah. So, if you couldn't tell by my snazzy new look, I'm thinking about turning this thing into more of a book journal. Due to the nature of my work, I'm averaging about a book a week, so I wanted to turn this into a place where I can endlessly pontificate. See, I'm ( Read more... )

I turned 24 today. Well, technically yesterday, I guess ( Read more... )

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

I just checked the forecast again. After raining for like, 6, 987 days, it's supposed to be....SUNNY on my bday! yay, I hope that's true.

Quick poll:

Should I have a birthday party?

Is my apartment way, way too small to host a party?
