Jury Duty
My week and a half spent in the courthouse was quite possibly one of the most interesting experiences I've ever had. Now I want to be a lawyer. Who knew. |

Why Steve Perry is God
I felt the need to share this with anyone who cares to read. So I finally saw the video for Steve Perry's "Oh Sherrie" and I was no less than astounded. First of all, the video starts out as a faux-video of Steve as royalty from the Middle Ages getting married. He's frustrated and thinks the concept for the video is absurd; the director/his PR/etc. try and convince him how "heroic" it is. After a couple of takes, Steve rips off his costume to reveal tight jeans, a button down shirt, and HIGH TOPS. Yes, HIGH TOPS. The then sits on a flight of stairs and starts moaning the "Oh Sherrie" song. "Sherrie" (who, by the way, needs to eat a good meal) shows up wearing 80's Barbie workout clothes and he sings to her through the railing of the stairs. Meanwhile, the director/PR folks/etc. try and figure out where Steve is and why he thinks the video is a bad idea. Steve and "Sherrie" hug, etc. Truly the greatest thing I've seen in years. That is all. |

Hit and...well, work
My car got backed into this morning in the parking lot at work. Dent. Paint chipped. Excellent. I ran the "Corporate Challange" last night downtown and actually RAN the entire 3.5 miles in less than 40 minutes. I celebrated at CPK with my coworkers with pasta. I'm terribly proud of myself. |

under pressure
I skipped work today to finish a grad school application. I'll probably get fired. I've decided that it's impossible to work 55 hours a week, do 10 applications, and date a fantastic new guy all at the same time. I need to change something. I'm a ball of stress. Current Mood:  restlessCurrent Music: Ho-Ag |

hot pink snowpants
yeah, i bought them. thank you urban renewal. good weekend. slept 12 hours friday night, worked a hellish shift at booksmith, then had "no name chicken" with ryan at grasshopper, went to an art thing in southie, then heard the band oneida at great scott. good band. this whole spending time with a boy thing is really taking a toll on my organizational skills, room maintenance, recommendation writing, and applying to school thing, though. i need some time management and i need it soon. but i have hot pink snowpants. the kind with a bib. man oh man. |

power mwah ha ha
I'm at the front desk today in the research room meaning I'm going to be refreshing this and BBC.com all day. Joy. Went to "I Heart Huckabees" last night with Ryan, somehow we ended up in the Jewish Film Festival Jamaican-inspired after party and stole a lot of Red Stripe and drank it in my room while watching soap operas in spanish. I really want a speed-skater's outfit with a hood. I'm going to look into that today. I have to buy pants this weekend. And shoes that are work-appropriate. Yael is eating a muffin. I'm eating twizzlers. Yum. I want in on the movie action, too. I miss spooning with Shannon and Russ. |

i'm trying to figure out how to blend anarchist ideology with queer theory - in other words, i'm trying to find a means of political protest that actually works (see the film "The Weather Underground" for references to resistance that echoes back to the structure it is protesting against). i refuse to get fed up with the system and swim myself back into it; i'm just not sure of how to manage myself in this climate. in other news, i'm still feeling weird about someone actually loving me. |

vote your brains out (or in)
The guy at Park St. who hands out the Metro was wearing a P. Diddy "Vote or Die" t-shirt...it made me oddly happy. What's everyone doing tonight? Election watching? Ryan wants to go to karaoke sometime soon, too. I started my day answering a question about Lem Billings - GIANT GRIN. Love to Ariel. |

freezing
So working in an archive means that the temperature is always about -50 degrees. I try and curl myself up into the smallest ball possible, but it's difficult to pull off while doing research or going on stack runs. I keep almost nodding off, too, becuase I no longer sleep more than 4 hours a night. It's mostly my fault. I've spent most of my day updating research guides and pondering what I'll order tonight at Buddha's Delight. I'm thinking of going with a noodle dish. Mneebeneeb. Mneebers. Mneb. |
