For some reason, when it is nearing the holiday season, I like to have QVC on in the background. I never buy anything and I'm not much of a shopper. But for some reason, I like to watch it around Christmas time as if all those womens' voices were carolers. As if it were music. Sick.

I'm making pizza.

And Lewis, my dog, is scratching his balls, ( Read more... )

Since I work at B&N now, I try to read best sellers so that I can be a better saleswoman. Despite my ultra-desire to read all the quirky non-fictions gathering dust on the back shelves, I pick up quirky non-fictions up front. So far, I've read The Last Lecture, A Bold, Fresh Piece of Humanity, Righting the Mother Tongue, and now my first fiction ( Read more... )

One of the best feelings ever is when I'm feeling somehow (yes, somehow) depressed and then realize that I am my own hero. Only I can fix it.

And who else is better than yourself to save/help yourself?

All the hype with Obama makes me think of the hype over Hitler...the reich singing for Der Furher.

And this makes me think that if Obama is elected, another Randy Weaver (remember during the Clinton administration?)  incident may ensue. Of course, there wasn't much hype about that incident because the media tried their absolute best to keep it under ( Read more... )

Everything has been going so well for me (classes are easy [which disturbs me], I am reading/learning crap on my own, I'm getting by, I'm in love, and I feel passionate about so many things).

But there is dread in my chest and brow and I don't know why.

Upon speaking with a friend from high school yesterday evening, I managed to identify a very important curiosity that I encountered over the summer. We were discussing fungi and I told her about this amazing plant-like, fungi-like thing that grows in the woods near my camp. I described it as a white, seemingly transparent stalk with tendrils and no ( Read more... )

I am bringing philmosophy back. It is not a group, but simply me talking about art and all kinds of weird stuff. In the past, it was a project for school, but I still have deep, passionate interests in the material and so therefore want to keep at it and have people engage in it. So, please join in discussion if you will!

Everything has been great. I love the fall, although I'm never quite dressed enough for it. Granted I'm wearing pants and a sweater right now, I'm still freezing. This "homeless" lifestyle is kind of interesting. I wouldn't say "homeless" without quotations, because I do have a place to sleep every night. It's just that I'm never really belonging ( Read more... )

I am so sick of being surrounded by these leftists who will believe anything they hear. Hardcore conservatives don't get as much media-play as the liberals do. That's why I'm not complaining about them. There aren't any on my college campus that I know of. There aren't any (that I know of) where I work. My boyfriend is a conservative. I'm a nothing ( Read more... )

Yesterday, a friend of mine from school (Teresa) and I attended one of The New Yinzer's reading at ModernFormations. The readers included Dawn Lundy Martin (poetry), Karl Hendricks (fiction), Ed Strek (poetry), and musican David Bernabo. Martin's poetry sounded very unique. My guess is that she writes with very short lines, and I found it ( Read more... )
