I started reading Eats, Shoots, and Leaves but then my Chuck Palahnuik book came in the mail and I just finished that today. In today's mail the other Chuck Palahnuik book I bought came in so I will procrastinate grammar for a few more days. The one I finished was Lullaby which started out relatively normal like all his books and ended up really ( Read more... )

I have done nothing the past week except work, drink cappachinos, and read. I decided to be a proper English major I should read more classics. Or at least somewhat contemporary classics. So I read This Side of Paradise and really enjoyed it. The name Amory grew on me, it's a nice name. Fitzgerald has always been one of the few American authors I ( Read more... )

I really like those plaid longish shorts everyone seems to be selling but I didn't find any that liked me back. So instead I bought some sassy khaki capris from New York & Company. They sound like the kind of store who would be snobby with tiny clothes but they actually have a decently priced selection of clothes that come in my size. I also got ( Read more... )

Tonight probably makes my top ten list of most hated times spent in Subway which is an accomplishment considering my almost 3 year employment. We had the most ridiculous and horrifically stupid customers tonight. The funniest thing asked was "what kind of sauce would you recommend on the chicken bacon ranch?" as if the ranch in the title of the ( Read more... )

I've been home a little over a week now. I have worked at Subway a week and I already wish I wasn't. I hate customers. While I know there are evil customers at every job, it is more that I know these customers and they know me. That is too much intamacy for $8 a an hour. I almost wish I had tried to find another job this summer. Not that it's too ( Read more... )

Brandon and I are in the student center and I think we should have come to this spot more often. We're on the second floor on the couches by the piano and so far two lovely gentleman have played. Every time I see someone sit down and play it makes me wish I had made an effort to learn when I was a kid. But alas, I never did anything for more than a ( Read more... )

So last night Brandon, Ben and I were bored. It was a really nice night last night. I decided we should go color with chalk. This led to us deciding to draw pretty things on Faner in chalk. For those of you unfamiliar with Carbondale's Faner Hall, it is our largest and most ridiculous building on campus. It was built to be riot proof and short of ( Read more... )

So I turned in my paper, I don't think it was very good. I didn't think it was very good last time though and I got an A so we'll see. Right now I'm working on a paper for Film in the 3rd Reich, much more fun. Today is also Brandon and I's 3 year anniversary. That's a long fuckin time, and I'm pretty cool with that. He enjoyed his John Waters DVD ( Read more... )

The funeral was a funeral. It also reconfirmed my hatred of having to look at dead bodies. They creep me out not because the are dead but because they look like they could leap up any minute and yell BOO! It rained and my shoes got a little dirty but that's alright. My cousin looked pretty horrible and I felt pretty bad for her. I don't think there ( Read more... )

 So I was just sitting here and noticed things were shaking a little then it finally occured to me that it was an aftershock.  That's all I have to say. I was just fascinated since I slept through the real one. 
Love & Sunshine,
