Bassnectar at Antones on Saturday. I can't wait. I have had such a great time at every show of his I have made it to in the past few years. I need me some of that dancing crack for sure.

sometimes i am a lucky person. by sheer luck of timing and old friends i am now in possession of a platinum badge for sxsw. bring it on.

I canceled class on Friday, which means my Spring Break has begun! Woo! I am celebrating by working on my essay all day. Take that bikini-clad drunken co-eds.

When I got home from the coffee shop tonight (yes working on a Friday night) there was a MANHUNT going on on my block. Cops everywhere. Helicopter with spotlight. Policeman with dogs searching backyards. It is kindof freaky. The helicopter went away, which would make me feel better if a few cops with a german shepard weren't still searching my back ( Read more... )

I lost my shit this weekend. Hormones of course played a large part, but I just feel like I am failing to find a workable balance between the demands of my work and the time I would like to spend with people I love. I had so much room for people when I was slacking on my work that I built a life that I can't sustain now. But every time I have to ( Read more... )

While I may not be making great strides in the revisions I need to be doing, I have still be cooking a lot more frequently. It takes time away from my studies, but I think it is important ( Read more... )

I have been a busy bee lately, and for the most part been very productive. But I have still not been making much progress on my own work. I have to revise this essay and resubmit it to a journal. I set aside time this morning for that work. But ANXIETY takes over when I think about it. I can't retain anything I read. I can't even focus on the words ( Read more... )

I have really bad eating habits. My mother did a great job raising us, but she is no cook. And my father would refuse to eat anything that was not your typical bland meat and potatoes dish, so even when my mother would try to introduce some variety into our diet it was not met with success. My relationship with vegetables began with a rocky intro ( Read more... )

I am afraid of mechanics. I hate the feeling of being "had." My "check engine" light went on the other day and the details of the saga are boring, but yesterday morning I was faced with "well, I don't know what you were told on Saturday, but that price was just the diagnostic and won't go towards repair (which is not what I was told on Saturday)" ( Read more... )

I took a random vacation to SF and it is coming to a close. I have only been here since Saturday and now I have to pack up today and return home. I am ready to be home in my own bed, but it was great to be back here. When I left five years ago I assumed I would move back at the first possible chance. I am not so sure anymore. It's the best city I ( Read more... )
