Longest frickin' baseball game, ever... I am so damn tired. I watched the whole thing at Morrow where Theresa lives, and did the same for Saturday's game (of which we will not speak). Watching it with a bunch of people who actually care sure beats sitting in my room with my headphones on watching it on my little TV. Of course, I got no damn work ( Read more... )

It's early, it's freezing, and yeah. Apparently it takes four days for the heat to actually reach all of campus once they turn it on. It has not reached Parsons Annex yet. The sad thing is, it is gonna get soooooo much colder. By November I'm not sure I'll be able to drag myself outside and over to Cutter-Ziskind to get breakfast ( Read more... )

So, I've been collecting random quotes at school. Some are things that were said to me, others I just overheard. A few are a bit depressing to hear in an institution of higher learning, especially the fifth one. Here's a sampling ( Read more... )

Oh, for fuck's sake. The Red Sox were one strike away from winning, and instead they gave up a two-run homer, and are now down by one with one more at bat. I swear I could hear my dad cursing from Amherst. Plus, I am trying to simultaneously watch the finale of The Amazing Race, and, er, work, right. I'm working. I wrote a whole sentence ( Read more... )

Came home for the weekend and saw people. Hi, people! I went back to Smith yesterday to check in on things and to hear Carol Moseley Braun speak. That was cool. Now I'm back home and going to have dinner with parents when they get back from NYC. Also, work. Because I have a lot of it. And Laundry! Free laundry is awesome.

Got up early today even though I have no classes to grab breakfast and be back here for ITS if they deign to show up, which seems unlikely. The woman on the phone said to be here between 8:00 and 12:00, and maybe they would come. These people are worse than the damn cable company ( Read more... )

The physical plant finally came and fixed our shades and also gave me a normal cushiony chair instead of the old wooden one I had. I think that was seriously Sylvia Plath's damn chair. ITS, on the other hand, are bitches and have not done a damn thing about the phone or ethernet, despite the fact that it was reported the first day we got here, ( Read more... )

Got up (relatively) early to drop off my glasses for new lenses. (Yay for getting blinder!) They said it would take an hour so I drove to Northampton with my old spare pair of glasses, which was a little weird because they're kind of heavy and awkward and the perscription is one I haven't had for several years, though it's not that much weaker ( Read more... )

So it turns out my ten-year-old cousin is in Pennsylvania with her mom's family right now, so my uncle only brought his sons, which is more manageable. The five-year-old, Dylan, is a little hyper, but he's really cute. I let him use my video camera and play my guitar and my drums. He also appreciated all the Legos I still have lying around.

Ever wake up with a really random song in your head that you don't even really know, or know where it's from, but suddenly there it is, in your brain? That happened to me the other day and it's been bugging the hell out of me what this song is. A quick google search of the lyrics running inexplicably through my head revealed that the song is " ( Read more... )
