On running

I...I went running yesterday...
25-30mph winds...gusts up around 50...
no joke.

But I took my good friend Nutmeg and we did it anyway.


As I was running I couldn't help but think...
This is stupid.
This is...this is...slightly self destructive.
painful...its cold...tiring...burning lungs...
i nearly roll my ankle every half mile...

but I couldn't help but cherish the revulting thought that...
even if I quit, there was not a chance in hell I'd stop.
in fact, I'd kick the bucket 60 times before i kicked the habit

looking back, it seems a bit maltreating
i could just go to the rec, where its warm...run in circles.
Or i could nap.... far far less 'productive' .....
or do homework.
But its not the same.

*sigh*
makes me want to go give my self another beating.
...hope Nutmeg's ready.

On lightbulbs

sooo
one day.
my cfl "love object" lightbulb rolllled off of my desk in class
it never actually broke,
but i think it wanted to.

The following lecture in class (2 days later or something)
was on creating visual metaphors
.............zzzzzzzzzzzz......

On Ghostbusters

I know a lot about the ghostbusters

the first...
as well as the second....

trust me.


Oh... and the cartoon, too of course.

On productivity (no, not reproductivity...)

Last night, I went out w/ ma laaaaadies.

(yes, Aida's cleavage was the 5th guest...)
awwww an OE staff reunion...
it was a little strange...sooo much CA talk *blah*
They were blown away at my "game" and ability to...
go and tease strangers (refer to yesterday's post)....
And...

we had a really precious time.
They're pretty darn hilarious.
I ate the mysterious hotdogs that you can get for free....
Then we went to Cy's Roost and...I told Aida what to do to go
get this one dude who she thought was adorable...
he came over and chatted for quite a while. His name was mark
and he was from New York.
He was also a toolbox. hahahaha. But...fun.
I left early, so I'm not sure what ended up coming out of that.

Then today!!!

its 11:30 am...

I've had breakfast w/ friends...

Maria and Josh (Lee's in the middle...he's in haiti...
we didn't have breakfast with him....


Then went to le bank

where the banker guy was very nice
but he told me different things than they tell my mom
....but that's because my mom's my mom.....*hmph*
she'll still straighten it out more...she's good like that.
All in all....its neat, but I have more people I have to talk to.

Then...did some more errands that I cannot disclose at this time.

Now...I'm going to do homework.
HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!!

Guess what guys..
only one more week until Turkey break!!!
Yeaaaaaayyyy!!!!!

I'm excited.
but it also means that I have a Lot of work to get done between now and then...

Ready, Steady, GO.



p.s. I got game.
...but I am SUCH a tease. hahaha...
dear Dr. Pepper, i'm sorry you dropped the drink that I (errr chika) bought you...
I think that Might be a really good sign that its time to stop, though.

On an ubelievable place.

So...lately...
I've been busy
nah, I haven't even been That busy
Not like I have to stay up all night to do tons
and tons and tons of homework
....but i do all of that homework efficiently, during the day nonstop
then sleep, then wake up and start over....

and frankly....
I think I'm Definitely ready for vacation.
The task list at work is unbelievable (since my boss is out for a couple weeks w/ hip surgery)
And all of the little homework projects that are due as usual
Trying to keep on top of my cycling
Maintain this fun-as-hell social life that's been happening
and everything in between....
I suppose its just adding up.

But last night, with some help from a friend
I was reminded that there are places that aren't here.


Ooooh Michigan...
get into my arms.
I wonder if we're going up there this summer? I did miss out this year...
but every year before...
its amazing.
And my mom ...she searches for hours and hours
(she loves tedius tasks, Loves them) for the Petosky stones
that can only be found around this area.
When she finds them its like....like she found
a $50 in a pocket of an old winter coat just pulled out of the closet after a long summer season.



I can only imagine that this coming vaca...
visiting rob, and spending some quality time w/ the Folds'
will bring that same sort of find.
The kind that...you knew was there, but over time you just forgot...
and in part, that forgetting is what makes it So absolutely amazing
and...
unbelievable.

On Work

Uhhh
annual report cover?



And a spread...?



what do you guys think?
*note that the copy is from last year, so...typography hasn't been paid THAT much attention to....*

I don't know.
this crap is hard.




p.s.
dear mom,
i love you.
