Today I wore my "I Am Lost in Hong Kong" shirt with a map of the subway system on it. It made me happy. In other news, I think I am going to Australia this summer to study the rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. Would that not be completely awesome?! Now I have to go read a book on why damming rivers is a very bad idea.

Hello All,
I am now officially back stateside, and have returned to snowy Saratoga Springs. Classes start tomorrow. Oh boy. I am currently bored. This is the greatest amount of down time I've had in a month. I miss Thailand. I miss my Aaron. I miss warm weather. I think I'll watch an episode of Good Eats now. Ta.

Goodbye fall semester. I knew ye well. I am a little apprehensive of what is to come (capstone, graduation, post-grad), but until next semester, I am trying to focus on Thailand. As you all know, I will be gone for 24 days during break to go to Hong Kong, Bangkok, Chiang Mei, Phuket, and then Mountain View. I am currently packing, which I despise, ( Read more... )

Aside from working today (blah hybrid cars), I went into town. I got a sandwich at Putnam with my 10 punch card, so it was free. Then I went to Borders, ate my sandwich in their cafe, and bought two new Christopher Moore books with a gift certificate my aunt gave me.

My word of the week is kleptocratic. It's when a regime steals from its citizens, like Peron, or Hitler, or many African governments. I just think it sounds great.

I am currently listening to Glenn Gould and studying in my bed. I have my cuddle blanket around me, a mug of hot cocoa on my nightstand, and my room is lit by the soft light of my lamp. I'm in my PJ's and sitting quietly, undisturbed. This is so nice.

So it seems like all of my friends are a) in a committed relationship, b) engaged, or c) married. Now I know the friends on my LiveJournal are the exceptions to this, but it seems like the rest of my yahoo friends have gone committment-crazy. Ahhhh! People are married from my high school. People are married who graduated Skidmore. People are ( Read more... )

Blackouts = totally uncool. Blackouts in the middle of a shower, with no windows into the bathroom and pitch black conditions all of a sudden = major suck. Having to shower with the bathroom door open just so I can see the shampoo = Ashley.

So today the three housemates and I went groccery shopping. I wanted to get some hand lotion, but being me, I have to check the bottle for scent first. So I opened the bottle, and it shot hand cream right up my right nostril. I wasn't squeezing it; it just wanted to make sure I could really smell it properly...up my nose. Such an Ashley move.

So today I pulled a Chelsea. I woke up, went into the shower, washed up, came out of the shower, dried off...and then realized I'd only shaved one armpit. So then I had to shave the armpit, because who goes around with only one shaved armpit? Just thought I'd share.
