I've been in the emergency room twice since Saturday.

I don't know if you'll feel like reading all this, but i had to put it down.  If i hadn't written it, i probably wouldn't feel like reading it either.  I would have pictures if the adapter for my phone's micro SD actually fit into the USB adapter i was given for my computer.  I don't know what ( Read more... )

Some interesting things have happened during my first week here.  I still don't have internet access at the apartment.  It looks like i will have to pay Time Warner 47$ a month for their ~basic~ highspeed.  Bleh.  NO other companies service my address.  Not Verizon, not AT&T, not Comcast ( Read more... )

FYI: I am now in my new location.  We got me here alive.  Finding my shower curtain, toilet paper, and frying pan were slight adventures.  I need to cut thru various red tapes in the next few days, see about getting a bed, and figure out how to get internet in my apartment.  And clean the MFA area of the studio.  Ye gawds.  The walls need swept and ( Read more... )

Packing tetris then fleeing the state.  See ya soon. 

What do you all think about this idea for government run health care?  From what i know, it seems to work in France and even Cuba, but our government is run by so many greedy two-faced fuckers that i don't think it would work very well here.  They can't even seem to run the VA hospitals very well.  I just imagine what they would allow to happen to ( Read more... )

I will be leaving this place for Ohio on August 10th, if everything goes as planned.  Sadly, i haven't my own transportation nor full clearance to commander anyone else's, so if anyone feels like driving up here to hang out, that would be cool.  I know a lot of you are in situations that make travel difficult, so i understand if you can't make it ( Read more... )

because i'm allergic to trees.

We've been building a Japanese braiding stool--takadai with ayatakadai attachment, and it's been going quite well, except for the unfortunate and annoying discovery i made today.

I'm allergic to oak.  Just working with the wood causes my skin to break out in itchy bumps, my throat to swell, and i guess some tiny bit of ( Read more... )

ALERT:

My birthday is coming up.  And i still won't get to have a party because i'm here.  If anyone wants to venture away from Bloomington around June 9...some kind of visiting should be arranged i guess.

WHINY SHIT

I feel like a walking source of shame.   Shame for still having fat thighs despite working out 6 days a week, 7 if i can, resistance ( Read more... )

Big surprise:  I didn't get the SNAG [Society of North American Goldsmith's] scholarship.  I AM A FAILURE.  Fucking hell.  What do they want?  I had 3 letters of recommendation, and a very detailed proposal.  My work is supposed to be good.  If i can't beat out 45 people, which is the number the ~sorry~ letter said entered, what the fuck can i do ( Read more... )

I feel like a pathetic fatass.  My thighs are nearly 24" around each.  You think that's not very big?  Measure yours.  If you're a thin person, such a circumference is out of proportion and an aesthetic abomination.  [HA--i reclaim the word "abomination".]  Unless it is pure muscle, which mine is not.  I see dimpling on the sides and side-of-knee ( Read more... )
