quote of the day: "william shatner's son knocked up my cousin." -my mom

wow. who knew that a kid i went to grade school with was secretly a second cousin who was also the grandson of william shatner? so, anyway. i feel muy disorganized today. i'm gonna go work ou and then do some work in the sun. perhaps that will help. i also need first american title to call me back. argh. i must say, again, that i was extremely impressed by katie's mp3 collection last night. and by her rubik's cube skills. :-)

i took yesterday off. sorry. the aardvark is coming today. woo woo! i saw blow the other night (aka, the most depressing movie ever). if i learned one thing, it was that marijuana people are a lot more fun than cocaine people. or something along those lines. today, i'm gonna do a little work, maybe read some for me, and then just chill. i went for a wicked long bike ride with beckers yesterday. i need a shower. laters.

song of the day: "white lightning" by george jones
quote of the day: the retelling of a conversation between a woman and her husband:
"there's a rat!
it's not a rat. it's an opossum.
well, it's still a rodent.
it's not a rodent. it's a marsupial.
it's a rodent to me.
whatever.
i hate seattle.
you need to learn to close the garage door."

ok. so you didn't get any update yesterday. i woke up and packed myself silly. now i'm back home. YAY. i need to get caught up on some major sleep. flying home was a nightmare. i think TWA and i are caught in a blood feud.

i can't believe another year of college is over so soon. and i really can't believe that i've recorded a large portion of it on my website. all in all, it was a good year. the beginning REALLY sucked, besides the ani difranco concert. i made some new friends (aaron, sam, ian, tony and--at the end--joe come to mind). and i missed spending time with old friends (john, meg, kelly, etc). still, i think i learned a lot, both with my heart and with my mind, and i came out better for the wear.

i'm really thirsty. best month of my sophomore year? probably december. worst month? prolly september. it seemed to fly by. i'm glad that next year it can fly by with manda there. i'm very sad that i won't see much of allison next year, though. in the past year i think i got a much better sense of what i want from the next few years of my life, and though it changes A LOT, having a slight sense of direction is a very good thing, i think.

okay. time for me to go work out, y'all. have a good one!

i had a dream last night wherein they remodeled the bon marche in spokane and made it much nicer, only you had to scale the walls to get to the bathrooms, which was real tough if you had to go at all badly. i walked like 4 miles in the *record* heat yesterday. oh yes. i did. and i got a bunch of cookies from my mommy: YAY. what else happened? i don't really remember. oh. i watched popular and the real world in ian's room. and, um, yeah. i think that's pretty much all i did yesterday.

today, i'm going to go and take notes on my italian performances. and i'm going to walk over to dupont to buy a CD. and i'm going to do lots of homework. or at least i intend to. lord knows if it will happen. take care!
