(Untitled)
It's strange that one of my methods of procrastination has not been writing on here more. I'm alternately zooming and slogging through mountains of reading-list material, alternately feeling ok about and horrified by my upcoming exam. At odd times (like when I'm in the shower, which is where I make all kinds of grand plans and then forget about ( Read more... ) -
summer sbleepy
Getting hotter in Madison...the plants are thriving, we have a banana pepper that's about two inches long, and the tomatoes are tiny and green. I haven't found a summer job yet, but at least I'm getting reading done for my exam in
August. And it is kind of nice to be able to sleep in a lot. I sleep on my porch occasionally.

summer misadventure #1
For the past week, since i got my awesome new stripy swimsuit, I've been psyching myself up to go swimming at the SERF. (That's SouthEast Recreational Facility.) There is much to worry over. Will there be drain-free lanes?*
Will I run into the other people in the lanes? I was going to go yesterday, but then I had a bad dream about swimming ( Read more... ) -
more craziness
This morning, between wakings up as a result of howling George and the noisy streetsweeper, I had to go to the orthodontist. It was my actual old orthodontist, but suddenly his clinic was doubling as a fancy restaurant a la Fanny Hill (fewer teddybears though). When I arrived, he was having an argument of sorts with his wife and mistress while ( Read more... ) -
the weirdness of my head
I am half-heartedly summer-job hunting, and a minute ago I decided that it would be more fun to be a research subject than a gainfully employed squid assistant or office worker. I've been a subject before--I did the preliminary visits for a hearing study and an asthma study, but didn't get accepted into any studies. My goal is to be a subject in ( Read more... ) -
up and down
I'm having a mood-swingy kind of day, but right now I'm up: it's May, the lilacs are in bloom, and you have to be happy about any song that you fall in love with the first time you hear it, whether it be a long-lived love (look what "The Sign" did!) or a wee song-crush (a la "Welcome to the Black Parade"). Don't know what this will end up as, but ( Read more... ) -
get your heathen buns over here!
The subject of this post is to be read the second way I assume people will read it. Not the first way. Let me give some context:
Since it is Easter, I made hot cross buns today. I have my great-grandma's recipe, and today was the second time I made them. Last year they turned out all funny, mostly because the cross icing (yes, this I consider ( Read more... ) -
gettin' schooled
last night's crazy dream:
I was back in high school, and sitting in Spanish class with good old Senorita. Some actual high school friend was sitting next to me, and lollyjoy was in the row behind me. I recall thinking it was strange that she was in my class, since I'd had three years of Spanish and she'd had none. An assignment was due, but I hadn't done ( Read more... ) -
wild spring
Yesterday we planted marigolds and zinnias, and my complit class is sometimes so frustrating that the intensity of it makes me cry, and I have read some good books, and the well-healed cat went to the vet today, and today it is warm, but last week it was 80 degrees and tomorrow it might snow, and my spicy cheese bread recipe gets better (and more ( Read more... )
