improbabilites

during the women's free skate long program, from my living room i began to hear the sound of birds outside. two, chattering away, very loudly. computer? bird alarm clock? it took me a long time to even suppose they could be real birds. which in the end, i think they were. night birds.

this morning, i found a sunglasses lens in my purse. is this some kind of joke? i couldn't figure out what kind of person would slip some piece of trash sunglass lens into my purse. later, i discovered that my grandmother's sunglasses, which i wear, which my mother says actually are hers, but i don't believe her, were winking at me from my desk.

before any trip, i always put on the religious trinketry given to me by my pa.

the virtue of teamwork

in my production class, my final project concept pitch was beaten out by:

- guy daydreams in a boring class
- dude, where's my bike
- suspense while a girl is jogging in the park
- man separated from friends without a phone
- Joel keeps waking up in another dream ... four times
- guy finds out the girl he slept with is his cousin
- guys lost in jungle eat the nerdy kid who knows the way home
- a guy and a girl exaggerate their sexual encounter to their friends
- the bucket list ... at USC
- a guy breaks into a house to propose

steps


me, all the time

scholastic performance

i have managed to be on the dean's list every fall of my college career, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009. proving that around this time of year, i traditionally just don't give a damn.

right now i do not anticipate dreaming of edward again

north american folklore

It has also been said that the jackalope can convincingly imitate any sound, including the human voice. It uses this ability to elude pursuers, chiefly by using phrases such as "There he goes! That way!" It is said that a jackalope may be caught by putting a flask of whiskey out at night. In some parts of the United States it is said that jackalope meat has a taste similar to lobster. It has also been said that jackalopes will only breed during electrical storms including hail, explaining its rarity.

on navigating database systems

fuck you, cisionpoint

my enraged heart on a day-to-day basis is all the cardio i need

okay, well, thanks, you too...

i spent the night gchatting with a boy who mistakenly thought i was his mistress. unfortunately, i can hardly convince the tv remote control to obey me, much less an entire human being.

what does a single girl, with no desire for a slave, who can't even dominate her own life, do for valentine's in los angeles?

this morning at coffee bean this girl spilled her hot drink on her friend's little dog

i managed to not laugh out loud

i am currently in possession of a fifteen hundred dollar video camera la la

today i suited myself for six hours

in the morning, i went to a danish bakery i found on yelp in downtown called HYGGE BAKERY. there was an attractive danish boy patron there with a friend, also danish, presumably getting their delicious pastry fix. i awkwardly talked to him about pastries, but was too agitated and confused to be coherent. i wish i weren't such a milquetoast when it comes to boys. i asked him about his pastry. he cut a piece of it at his table and gave it to me. it was marzipan.

i bought three pastries. one had a very strange name, but it was definitely the solskinsbolle i used to buy. i ate my sunshine bun in the car as it rained outside.


About the name: "Hygge" is one of those untranslatable words, but the closest I can come in English is "cozy" or "warm fuzzies". Great British pubs are hygge; snuggling with your loved one by a fire on a cold winter evening is hygge; a party with friends where everyone's having a great time and nobody's barfed yet from alcohol is hygge.

I don't think you could describe the bakery's decor as hygge. It's stark modern look-at-all-these-lofts-how-could-Downtown-change-so-quickly-my-God-this-used-to-be-a-homeless-encampment.

mere og mere kedelig

it's raining again.

when it cleared up after the last time it rained, i was driving west on the ten on the twenty-second, the day before my brother's wedding, when i saw double rainbows. the feebletwin rainbow quickly disappeared, as they are wont to do, but its brother was the biggest band of rainbow i had ever seen. it was an arch over los angeles so hale it had to be a solid. no matter your supernatural inclinations or lack thereof, a robust rainbow can inspire spirituality and the oogie boogies of the beyond in anyone. the cars on the freeway kicked up the water as they sped along, and there were big rainbows in the sprays of water behind each car's back tires. those were cars looking jet-powered by magic.


pleased with my new lamp.
too much junk on the floor.
