Last night I went to emily and fritz' to watch Harold and Maude, and eat pizza and drink wine.  I'd never seen it before.  I think it's a pretty good movie, although it is a bit weird that they have sex at the end.  I understand why he falls in love with her even though she's like 60 years older than he is-her wisdom is essential to the role-but ( Read more... )

this is a quick post i guess.  things are very good and i wanted to post that much since i've neglected my lj :(  Craig and i are dating and it's very good.  Interesting, but good.  work is great-my students are in finals now so I haven't had a ton of work to do.  I did the AIDS walk last week-raised about $800+.  Hmmmmmmm.....that's all for now.  ( Read more... )

I'm off tomorrow! One good thing about Passover is the time off we get. Two days last week, two this week. Love Monkey is apparently now on VH1 (a channel i watch as often as they actually play music videos) and I'm about to watch it. I really liked it before they canceled it, so this is a good thing. yet again it's taken me considerable time to ( Read more... )

I have been feeling sicky since yesterday morning, and I left work at 3:30 after a meeting with a student to rest up. sore throat, achy body. My mother took care of me for a while by making me grilled cheese (my sick food)and giving me advil. Today I woke up feeling a little sicky but not as terrible as yesterday, but I already made it known in ( Read more... )

Last week was really rough with the Nancy Schwartzman program, and this week I feel like I am deflating more than I am recovering. I just feel totally burnt out. This past weekend was Margot's wedding (and Krystian's, but somehow the groom is marginalized in the wedding process), which only added to my stress. Being a bridesmaid isn't so fun.

I think that in life there are certain things laid out for us before we enter the world. Certain qualities that we have that are there before birth. The enviroment even inside the womb shaping and molding and twisting. I believe in free will, but i think free will means that some people get a spoon, and some people get a hammer, and some people ( Read more... )

This has been a very long week. I'm exhausted from a roughly twelve hour day. Too tired to go out. I'm watching Kill Bill Vol. 1. I really like Uma Thurman in general. I don't know much about the japanese samurai films that this is fashioned after (or at least that's what I heard) but so far it's interesting. Right now it doesn't much matter ( Read more... )

I really dislike using my lj as a space to brood, because it seems cliche and narcissistic but I guess this is my fucking lj so I can say whatever I want, right? Today started off a bit rough. I'm feeling financially squeezed because paying a mortgage is a little hard on a non profit girl's salary. I am thinking about trying to work a part time ( Read more... )

I just spent an hour cleaning. I find cleaning very therapeutic. I think it's because I'm a bit of a control freak, and no matter what's going on in your life your house can always be clean, be ordered. I always feel satisfied after cleaning, like everything is good and balanced in the world ( Read more... )

I certainly slacked off quite a bit on updating my lj, for various reasons that include travel, work load, and an un-stable ex who thrives on acquiring information about my life. I shall not elaborate on any of these though ( Read more... )
