You're So Serious

Project Runway tonight!

A part of my tooth just fell out not a while ago.
This is terrifying.
It's like being in one of those dreams that one has about loose teeth or teeth getting pulled out. Only this is reality and I can't go back to how things were. oy.
Yeah there is nothing that I can think of that I can do immediately. I feel so stupid for the poor state of health that my tooth is in. All I can do is shake my head.
My conference call went well. I love that the struggle can vary in different parts of the country. It put things into perspective and inspired me to organize.

I'm surrounded by cock blocks and psychos with telephones.

You suck daylight saving time.

I finished writing my talk!
I can't wait to give it tomorrow night. Feeling very studly right now, too.

Who needs textbooks when we've got wikipedia.

I bought my plane ticket to New York!

Yesterday I order a down comforter and duvet cover from target.com and today they just shipped it. I can't wait till it gets here! It's been pretty cold these past few days and a down comforter will be much welcomed.

And I'd rather do chump work instead.
I'm supposed to be writing and essay right now. I'm having an inner dialogue with myself and it goes a little like this:

I don't want to.
I have an outline and I know what I want to write about.
I just don't want to do it.
HA!
There.
You want it.
Well too bad.
You can't have it.

The problem is that I DO have to write it. I'm just being lazy. AH! It's killing me.
Cleaning houses breaks this academic monotony. I just feel like I have to be in school because I have to be in school. I seriously would drop out if there was an alternative. There isn't and that sucks.
I know I am just complaining but my complaint has some merit in that not all of us want to spend 17+ yrs in school. I feel trapped in a way. I have to do this. A little bit of me still feels like I want to do this.
I want to read! I want to write more! I want it NOW!

FUCK this crazy San Francisco weather!

Sometimes I feel like I am stuck in an episode of Ally McBeal. Not in any specific episode...just in that universe.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
4. Find the 5th sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal...along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.

From Maus, by Art Spiegelman:
"One hour to pack, and FOUR hours for Vladek to unpack and refold it all!"

Gosh. Now I'm remembering how racist Vladek was and how he also sympathized with Zionism. Figures. The two go together it's ridiculous.

I had a dream two nights ago in which premium gas was $7 a gallon. My dad was filling up his car. Not regular or super. Always premium. It was a disturbing dream.

Today I used a keyboard that used the Dvorak layout instead of the QWERTY layout. It was discombobulating at first because most of the punctions were in the upper right hand instead of the home keys row. AHH!!

Chilly oatmeal! I mean... chilly omelet.

In the year 2006 I resolve to: Poke a badger with a spoon. Get your resolution here

This may be a long entry. Then again it might not be.

We left for Utah Tuesday morning. 4am to be exact and got here at 5pm rocky mountain time. There wasn't a lot of snow like past years on the way to heber city. In the past when we got to Beaver, UT, there would be some snow at the Timberline restaurant where we always make sure to eat at. So no snow.
Even when we got to my Aunt and Uncle's house there was barely any snow. It had be raining on Sunday and Monday. Sure enough, it rained again on Wednesday. Not a lot of snow. Lots of clouds. Then this afternoon snow began to fall and it's continuing to fall.
They shut down the highway from Heber to Park City. Lots of accidents, which my uncle called to tell us about. They need to clean up the road. Driving in the snow is weird. We don't have snow chains and everytime I turn the car starts to slide so I have to give it a little bit of gas.
I'm getting new glasses. I have the frames, which I am having second thoughts about, so all I need now are the lenses. I'll wait until I get to San Francisco to get them. My vision went from -0.75 in both eyes to -1 and It will get worse, the optometrist said.
In addition to new glasses, new clothes, too. Yay parents.
My erotic dreams have been getting stronger and they've been with complete strangers, too. Complete strangers, just people my mind made up. It's embarrassing to write about, but on the last hour of driving to get here I was falling asleep and all I could do to stay up was to fantasize. Think of sexy thoughts, think of sexy thoughts, think of sexy toughts. It only worked for 20 minutes then I fell asleep anyway.
It's cold here. brrr...
Oh yeah my great aunt from Mexico is visiting us and is still in Los Angeles, thank god. She is crazy! She never shuts up. ugh.

How to make a abiggerpretzel

Ingredients: 3 parts competetiveness 5 parts courage 3 parts instinct

Method: Stir together in a glass tumbler with a salted rim. Top it off with a sprinkle of wisdom and enjoy!

Los Angeles is great. The weather is always just right, the food is great and it's great sleeping in my bed that has been waiting for me for almost a year. It's funny going out at night not needing a sweater while everyone else is freezing to death. I'm from San Francisco, you don't know what cold is.
Thursday night was so much fun. I went out dancing at this place called Trash. Danced for a couple of hours. Had the courage to ask a couple of guys to dance, approached by certain guys I was not interested in but danced at least one song with each. Fun night overall and with no alcohol to boot.
My aunt is making tamales right now for us to eat later. Lots and lots of drinking tonight.
