I have discovered that I have light grapheme -> colour synesthesia! It's not every letter or number and is primarily just the ones that are associated with music. I noticed this because I've been learning how to play guitar and realized as I was doing it that all of the chords had colours. I don't know if they've always had colours or whether ( Read more... )

So I don't forget about this awesomeness:

Rad grilled cheese including
-extra-sharp white cheddar (tillamook)
-wasabi mayo
-sauteed scallions
-furikake
-mushrooms sauteed in soy sauce and ginger

Ooooooh yeah!

From Portland, I just texted someone in New York City to get the number of someone in New Orleans so that I could give it to my friend from Pensacola who wants to visit him. I love living in the future!

Gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, build your own bloody marys with puppies in the sunlight, fantastic vintage store shopping, a luxurious nap, being fed a bailey's irish cream brownie by a handsome man while I lie in bed doing homework, kitty snuggles, and looking forward to homemade sushi and a battle of comedy movies tonight.

The more I look at social networks, the more I think about how completely horrible it would be to try to do peer network research at New College.

She even got to be taken off total sedation today for a little bit, so her family got to have a chance to talk to her. My dad and grandma went to visit over the weekend, ( Read more... )

Bleep bloop bloop. I'm sitting here in an Idaho hotel room, going to make it to Portland tomorrow. As I've been on the road, my living situation has entirely fallen apart, so I am moving there with nowhere to stay except maybe my would-have-been-roommate's couch? I should be a lot more worried about this than I am. It's an adventure I guess!
