I've had a really busy schedule for awhile. Which I guess caught up with me last week. I wound up in the ER last Thursday. I had to get a spinal tap, among other things. I've been very weak, and managed to get fantastically sick just going through classes yesterday. I think I freaked out a few people in my classes, who seemed very concerned and ( Read more... )

I feel like something snapped tonight. But in a good way. Is that weird?

Thank you, Chad (drownedinink), for posting the link to The 50 Most Loathsome People in America, 2005.

A few of my favorites (in no particular order):

Barbara BushCharges: Her polluted womb nurtured the seed of American decadence. The root of America’s decay; the poison tree from whence the fruit loop George W. Bush sprang. This unfeeling, unthinking ( Read more... )

This is adorable: Snake 'befriends' snack hamster.

So I block scheduled again. Class from 10-10 on Tuesdays, 10-6 on Thursdays. Two hour break from 2-4 both days. Advanced Studio Recording should be awesome--I have Owen again--but it's also intimidating, as everyone else is a senior and has way more experience/knowledge than me ( Read more... )

I have been making the Munny that Mark got me at Christmas into a geisha--technically, a maiko (apprentice geisha). I am trying to make factually correct makeup, hair, clothing, and kanzashi for her. Yes, I am a dork ( Read more... )

I worked fourteen hours yesterday, with a two hour break that I spent tramping around the North End because my father thinks the parmesean cheese there is much better than in Waterbury. I could barely move to get up for work this morning. Between H&M and Newbury Comics, I worked a shitload of hours the past few weeks, often going from an opening ( Read more... )

I lost my iPod shuffle while recording drums two weeks ago. If you go to www.emersive.net/mug and click on the vote hyperlink, then scroll down til you're near the bottom (I am wearing a leopard-print cat-ear hat, have short dark hair, am pale, and my face is stretched out like Jay Leno with the photo effect program), and you then vote for me, I ( Read more... )

DMBQ is awesome. Although I am not listening to it right now. The CD is either lost in the rubble of this room, or lost in the rubble of Mark's. DMBQ stands for "Dynamite Master Blues Quartet." They are Japanese and they are awesome. Although now I guess they're defunct, because they got into an accident a month or two ago and their drummer died ( Read more... )

The ghost in our apartment doesn't like David Bowie. It paused a song while I was in the shower on Friday, I guess to make a point of this. (Although, honestly, I have tried rationalizing this to myself by saying that a minuscule paint chip must have fallen from the ceiling and hit the button. I tried telling myself that the super came in without ( Read more... )
