there’s something not so great about hearing pinback on the muzak at denny’s at 330 am. what is going on in the world exactly???
i swear the infamous list will be posted tomorrow, later today.
who put the a in addicted? December 28, 2005
my fascination with music documentaries/ concerts hit all time high (low?) when i sat at watched who put the m in manchester ? in it’s entirety yesterday. yes, yes, i did. i found it strangely fascinating that morrissey kept taking his shirt off, not in a sexy kind of way, but in a what is the deal with him doing that kind of way.
you had something to hide, should have hidden it shouldn’t you (alternate title: let me hear you speaking just for me) December 28, 2005
so i wanted to be asleep hours ago, yet here i am blogging while in a strange depeche mode induced fog. i have been listening to random things on my mp3 while thinking about my top cds of the year list (i like that this is becoming like a homework assignment for me, i initially thought maybe listening to music would help me sleep, but now i feel all consumed by the list….).
natasha and i cruised the mall quickly today for good sales, no dice for either of us which is ok, b/c i for one am not exactly richy rich. i did pick up some super cheap fabric at jo jos so hopefully i’ll get ol’ emma into action and sewing again. we met up with heather for dinner and hung out at natasha’s house for a bit.
it’s supposed to be warmer tomorrow, i need something to kick my butt into gear. winter is so depressing for me…. i know that the days are again getting longer but i need more daylight.
what’s everyone doing for new year’s???

you must think that i am super cool and busy since i haven’t blogged lately right??? no, not at all. i have done pretty much nothing since last week, and now i am remembering that feeling that one gets when xmas or summer vacation is more than half over….
recap:
1. got my grades, guess i can return to school again next semester…
2. had another crazy event while being out in gbg. i am thinking that i can only go out when things are low key. i hate having the feeling of having to take care or watch people. i am not the kind of person who can just walk away from people who are maybe too drunk or making bad choices… at least i can’t listen to them the next day tell me how they did things that they think are terrible and feel bad for them. done.
3. xmas was ok, no major drama so that’s what it’s all about if you ask me.
4. it was nice for like two days then it snowed again yesterday. luckily michele is keep us up to day on the lovely la weather via her blog (just kidding michele…)
5. knit some gifts for people yesterday while i was inside ALL DAY LONG. since they will know soon enough, i made someone a hat and someone else armwarmers. i will have to photo them soon…
6. i may go shopping today with n, oh her website is up, looking fancy n’at (as we say in pgh.)
i am still thinking about my year end music recap!!!
felting, the great disappointment December 21, 2005
yes, so felting, did not turn out exactly how i planned it. guess it’s not an exact science, and we all know that i am only interested in 1. exact science and 2. instant gratification.
just to keep my readers tuned in… following pitchfork’s list of the top 50 album/ singles/ worst albums, etc. i am compiling in my head what exactly i bought and listened to this year… stay tuned suckas!
not quite like the desert here…. December 20, 2005

quick recap to keep the readers interested….
the weekend:
hung out with just about every single person i know around these parts on saturday night. girls did some crafty projects so that was fun….
friday night i didn’t go out b/c i was feeling lazy and basiclly cold.
yesterday n and i hit the mall and did some shopping for xmas, oh wait in my case it was more like shopping for myself as lame as that is. it’s amazing that stuff is so cheap and it’s not even xmas yet. meeting with h tonight to go some of her shopping done….
tis all.
oh, i secured that new part time job so i am psyched about that, starting in mid-jan. oh, janelle, i don’t know if you read this anymore, but the new job is around where you work i think.
lastly, here’s my thought for the day:
i heart huckabees is not the type of movie where you can just start watching it in the middle, that didn’t work out too well for me…

(sing that like alice cooper kids…)
so it’s that time of year that you loved when you were like 10- xmas vaca. yes, i am psyched that there are no more teachers and no more books at least for 3 weeks.
had a interview today, hopefully that went as well as i thought it had…
spent the day yesterday at the carnegie. fun fun. of course i was psyched about the witness to the fifties exhibit. the dinosaurs are still missing.
gosh, what else…. guess nothing else to report.
plans for winter vacation:
- read books that do not deal with info. arch. or reference services
- spend some quality time with people, i feel like i didn’t do that too well this semester.
- do some laundry (not that i haven’t done that this semester, but i just have a back log at present….)
- get out of town for at least a day!
b-a-n-a-n-a-s December 14, 2005
is bananas the phrase of the year or what? anyway, that was going through my head on the bus ride home yesterday evening. i got out early so i took a different bus and it was madness. someone maybe had a bad time at the xmas party and threw up, someone was bleeding b/c they fell. honestly, it was like total mayhehm.
last day, work is done (i hope). that is all….
