let the sunshine in...

Mood:in need of a break already...
one week into senior year and i'm ready to tap out! i have tons of work to do this semester... plus more office hours... plus community service hours... should be an interesting few months...

so i bought the last ticket to go see "hair" through my school. i went to go see "wicked" without a friend, so i don't think it will be too weird. i'm going to have to buy tickets to another show for paul and i to go see, since i told him i would try to get tickets for us both to see "hair". i feel kind of guilty, but i will make it up to him (especially when i have more money to buy maybe better tickets!!)

my love for "the wizard of oz" has recently increased... not sure why... i wonder if it's a sign...

happy labor day, everyone!

avocado butter...

Mood:lumpy
i'm watching the "good eats" episode about avocados... it makes me want to do all kinds of things with avocados... and try avocado ice cream... i imagine adam has more access to avocado products being out in san diego now...



i spent the summer in the woods, it seems... i worked at camp all summer, a day camp in the woods... i spent a few overnights in the woods during the seven weeks i spent at camp... it was nice...



and then this past week, my family went on vacation camping in vermont... there was no cell phone service, which drove me bananas... i felt so stupid about feeling so awful while being disconnected... i had to steal wireless from the coffeehouse because i didn't have cash, so i couldn't buy anything so i could legitimately use their "free" wi-fi... honestly, i make myself sick...



i'm moving back to school for the last time ever on sunday... it is my senior year... where the hell did the time go??? i can't even begin to think about it too much, otherwise i'll get emotional... and i'm trying to cut back on that... it feels like just yesterday i was dreading going to college... and now i'm afraid it's going to be over too quickly...



ok just saw a smokey the bear commercial and the tagline was "friends don't let friends become once upon a time".



so. true.

good night. i will try to blog more. no promises, just trying.

movie week!

Mood:sleepy!

i've seen 2 movies this week! on wednesday i went to go see "harry potter and the half blood prince" with my brother... he already saw it, but agreed to see it again with me! such a nice surprise! we went to the mall and hung out for a bit before the movie- we kind of switched off between dragging each other to stores that the other would not like (i took him into old navy, he took me into spencer's)... but it was a lot of fun and very nice...

then tonight i went to see "julie & julia" with my mom :) that was very nice. it got so-so reviews, but i must say i truly enjoyed it. maybe it was because my mom and i were having a nice mother-daughter experience, or maybe it was because it was cool to be in a cinema full of older people who grew up watching julia child or learned how to cook from watching julia child's show. meryl streep was wonderful, as usual. she really is a phenomenal actress. i forget that i'm watching "meryl streep" and become engrossed in her characher. love her, she is fabulous. i liked the movie and had a delightful time with my mom!

one funny part of the evening- i saw two women with neck braces, one in the row behind us in the theater, and one waiting outside the movies after the movie was over. how weird is that? how many times do you see one person wearing a neck brace, let alone seeing two!

watching that movie made me want to blog, but i am so tired from being on-the-go for almost two weeks straight. why i am still awake when my body is screaming at me to go to sleep i do not know... but it's time for bed!

good night, friends!

blog reader...

Mood: sleepy not sleepy
lately i've been stumbling upon random blogs and looking through their links to other blogs... these links send me to hilarious sites or pretty blogs... sometimes i'll forget about a place and then come back to it through another blog... in my late-night awake-ness, i find myself chuckling aloud... here are some blogs you may find amusing:

passive aggressive notes

the "blog" of "unnecessary" quotation marks

my very worst date

look at this fucking hipster

asleep on the subway

and awkward family photos



i hope those links all work!



in other news, "broadway at the movies" is going well... we choreographed "nicest kids in town" from "hairspray" tonight... it's going to be really cool :) i've forgotten how frigging hot it gets in the Rho building... you'd think after 3 years i'd get the idea, right? but the song sounds good and we're going to look fantastic



in immediate news: i just learned (from alton brown on "good eats") that spaghetti and ragu sauce are not eaten together in italy... must go there myself to find out if this is true... also now i really want spaghetti and meatballs...



i'm doing all sorts of things with this stupid html code... it's out of habit, but i don't know if it's necessary any more... whatever, i'll see when i post...



ok now i'm tired for real... paul said he would call me when he finishes his reading for the night... he has officially moved into an apartment in the city, about 5 minutes away from NYU... it's a nice little studio, just renovated... i helped him move some stuff in this past weekend... picture he and i crammed into a tiny elevator with a folded queen-sized mattress... good times... it's going to be hard finding time to/means of getting down to visit him this summer, but i'm really excited to explore The Village with him... and the time i don't get to be with him will be long and lonely (UGH! GROSS MUSHY BALONEY!! i know i know, i'm sorry... go here and commiserate: STFU Marrieds... we're not married, but it's just as icky)



ok... that's all for tonight... more sooner than later (maybe)

Have you seen the well-to-do up and down Park Avenue...

Mood: bored. bored stiff. this post is coming to you by request from adam. so i had a headache all day today. i woke up around 10am, already way earlier than i'd planned on waking up. i was woken up by a sound that was like running your finger around a wineglass. only it was really loud. i thought my ears were ringing, so i covered my ears. the sound went away. i knew joey was home from school, thought maybe he was messing with me, and got up to check it out. went to his room and asked "what the f*ck is that noise!?". he told me it was the indian point sirens being tested. it sucks that it woke me up, but i guess it was good because it means that it was loud enough to wake me up in case of an emergency. whatever, i had a headache. even after i took alieve, i still had a minor headache. it sucked. i am watching "the tonight show" right now. there is some guy sitting in the front row behind andy richter... he is very exuberant. i am also currently creating a netflix account that is free for one month. i will watch as many french movies as possible. gonna go focus, too much going on at once. hope you enjoyed this post, adam! ~~ EDIT: i don't know why this post wasn't posted when i originally wrote it! >:-0

let's discuss something...

Mood:oddly relaxed?
so i've become a lazy blogger... i blame this on me being too busy this year and twitter... apologies to those who want something more...

let's discuss the fact that as of friday, i have one year until graduate college... i know that there are people graduating this year, but i'm scared as hell... i have one year of grad school after that, but then that's it... i'm in the real world... and it's terrifying... i just want to be 8 years old, running around barefoot playing in the stream at my old house...

finals are hell... i especially hate having to trudge to the library to study, which i did thursday night with my friend sam... we got there around 10:30pm and stayed until about 4:30am... it was sick and not in the sense that means "cool"... i wish i could just blink and have them done...

alas, i cannot, so it's back to studying for me... thanks for listening

motivation: zero

Mood:chilly
hiyo everyone! so since the last post, i have turned 21... it's weird to think that i am over one decade old... i feel a bit different... it's really funny to go out somewhere and order a drink and have to show proof that i'm 21... so far i have (legally) enjoyed a sex on the beach, a malibu and coke, a red raspberry martini, and a mojito (which spellcheck is telling me is wrong... it also says that "spellcheck" is wrong...)... all good fun...

in other news, i'm tired of being in school and would like it to be summer now, please and thank you

all i watch on youtube are clips from "whose line is it anyway"...

ok i've got to do some homework before bedtime... i miss everyone from home :-\
