That’s Coleridge. I like it because it’s gross and the rhythm is perfect. The line break is between things and lived. If you’re wondering. Anyway. Upward, not northward! Here we go.
I have a vacation coming up. This is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. There is sure to be a leisurely perusal of books I’ve already read, piping hot paper [...]

Work.

Today they hung a piece of interior-design-style art at the far end of the hall. You know. Past the elevators, but still in my main reception area. Which means today is now New Art Themed, as in: “Would you look at that, they hung something up,” “What’s that,” “Oh I don’t like it,” “Nobody told [...]
The good people of Chicago

Today I got a seat on the El and I started a new book. So, to settle in I had taken off my gloves (all the better for reading) and secured my coffee in the crook of my arm, and gotten all comfy. I was pretty into my book.
Before I knew it, we were at [...]

So let’s wrap this thing up. Here’s what I did on vacation: Talked to Katie. Spontaniously drove to Grand Rapids to visit Justin. Ate a delicious egg and half bagel. Ate dinner at an incredibly bland restaurant. Bought supplies for making a journal. Made journal. Drank pinot noir in room. Talked to Katie. Got a [...]
Nearly a month! So, long.

My dad brought to my attention yesterday that I have not updated this thing in nearly a month. Which is true. Mostly, I have not updated because once you slack off even a little bit it gets so much easier to slack off as time goes on. This last week I haven’t even thought blog-updating [...]
Oh popcorn day! Day among days.

Today there is popcorn in the lobby of my building. I know! I am sitting here at my desk with a decent sized bucket of popcorn, real popped popcorn, caramel-cheese-and-butter mix. The size that would cost $3.15 at the movie theater, a small. The smell of popcorn is in all the elevators and seeping onto [...]
Marching onward

Just wanted to see if I can write a date-related pun in every subject heading. I can. So today I have experienced two miracles. They are, in order of amazingness:
1. The train was empty when I got on it this morning. Did you get that? Empty! This is no hyperbole. Every car that passed me by [...]
Let the sick girl ramble if she wants

I opened a bag of dried peaches yesterday. They are the grossest looking things ever. It’s like a whole giant half a peach all flat and sticky, and you can see the prickly part where the pit was. Plus, when you open the bag it smells like bandaids in there. And yet. They are so [...]
These magical days
Posted in adventure, days of the week, entries that should have been better edited, working on February 7, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’ve taken to using the word “magical” to describe things that happen to me. Here is a quick working definition: Magical. Something that is very good, and previously thought impossible or highly unlikely.
Here are some magical things that have happened in the last two days. One, I talked to Jake and Katie on the phone. [...]
Try blue and silver this Christmas, I did

I have been working on a highlighted transcript for a few days (no tape) which means that I can……… listen to my iPod! I know. And thanks to some headphones my dad let me have (very nice) that is not annoying either. The headphones fit, work good, and have good sound. Tunes at work pretty [...]
