Lots of things have happened. My brother got married; I wore a purple shirt, and I had a hot date. My aunt brought her tiny, 10 week-old maltese Layla, the cutest and worst-behaved puppy I've ever met. Ashley and I watched her for a couple days, and it was like tending to a baker's dozen of tiny, sharp-toothed newborns, except she was extremely ( Read more... )

Today would have been semi-normal if I was 8 or 9 years old. First, I watched Steven Soderbergh's "Solaris." Classic children's movie; nothing but exaggerated, cartoon-like sound effects and unrealistic slapstick comedy. Then, I accompanied my mother to a new Target that opened up about 30 minutes from Gardner. After dinner, I suggested we (me, my ( Read more... )

I get sick at the end of semesters/at the beginning of week long vacations very often. Right now I'm ~the sickest I've been for a few years. My throat hurts intensely, and it just won't quit! I got tylenol with Codeine for it yesterday, and I was really excited, but it didn't really help the pain; it just made me fall asleep for a while and then ( Read more... )

I now have my schedule for the fall worked out. Here it is ( Read more... )

I saw The Mars Volta last night. They played for about 130 minutes. Here's the setlist ( Read more... )

I'm excited for this weekend. Tonight, Alex, Alicia, Ashley, Christina, Danny, Jenny, Mike and I are going to play Cranium. That game is so fucking fun. Games that Alicia, Ashley, and I also recently decided are awesome; Taboo, Scattergories, Pictionary, Catch Phrase, and more along those lines. I love games ( Read more... )

Ashley showed up at my house today at ~quarter of noon. It was a surprise, and it ruled. I've never been surprised like this before. I loved it. We went to an ATM and Gardner's new library (which was quite nice), we watched The Incredibles (my new favorite Pixar movie), and we went to Friendy's with John, Jake, and Mick. It was an awesome time, ( Read more... )

Good stuff lately ( Read more... )

This semester is going really, really well so far. Some of my classes seem pretty boring thus far, but I'm getting some undesirable requirements (2 sciences and a history) out of the way, so boredom is to be expected ( Read more... )

Yesterday. a) I went to doctor T. Brian Miller. This was overall a very good visit. It was a follow-up from a visit the good doctor and I had earlier this vacation regarding a loss of hearing in my right ear. At the former visit, it turned out that I had an inner ear infection which broke a hole through my ear drum and became an outer ear infection ( Read more... )
