Work and such
Last night I woke up to the sound of fighter jets and sirens. I woke up at 3 a.m., peed and went back to bed. I sat, awake stressing about work until about 5:30 when I finally just exhausted myself. Losing sleep over an even half-to sucks. (Edited because I hate the way I sound…

Flying with ties
About a year and a half ago, during the summer, I flew to LA to visit some friends. I hate flying, most people know that by now. My flight originated at LaGuardia, flew to Houston and then I had a connector flight from Houston to LA. On the flight out of Houston, we were told…

Nothing doing
What a nice weekend. On Friday I put a Zipcar on hold and Toby and I went grocery shopping at Whole Foods. We spent a lot, but it was worth it. I’ve been doing a lot of baking lately, so we bought some bulk chocolate chips and flour and the like. Jason popped over around…

Being in Love
Sometimes I look at him and I am just completely amazed at how lucky I am to know him. Sometimes he’s sleeping and I watch him for a minute. I imagine walking over to the bed and putting my hands on him. I imagine that if he awoke, he’d wonder why I was waking him…

Muffins and banana bread.
I made banana bread yesterday. It turned out quite good, if I must say so myself. Last night we were laying in bed watching the TV. And Toby was on his third chunk of the stuff. He turned to me for about 3 seconds, turned back and his banana bread was gone. He thought to…

McDonalds
I found this statement particularly alarming while reading “Fast Food Nation” today: (Said by Den Fujita, a billionaire who brought McDonald’s to Japan) If we eat McDonald’s hamburgers and potatoes for a thousand years, we will become taller, our skin will become white, and our hair will be blonde. It’s a cryin shame Hitler was…

This <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail//0060938455/qid=1043244238/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/104-0315487-2678372?v=glance&s=books&n=507846” target=”_blank”>book is killing me. Truly. I just got to the section on the meat industry (after a chapter devoted to the poultry industry, I should have taken a break). The meat industry is the most horrible monstrosity in America. I can’t say I didn’t already know this. When I was a freshman…

Georgia
Georgia. Ok, so here’s the update: 1). Toby’s sister is like my mother; Completely and totally kind and selfless to a point of near fault. I am amazed at people like this and totally envious of their position and determination in making people around them happy (or at the very least content and comofortable). Kudos…

I'm back
We’re going to Georgia tomorrow to visit Toby’s sister. We were going to drive until Amtrak announced their amazing deals. So as it stands we’re taking a train down. The total for both of us (roundtrip) was/is 129.00. Pack a lot of books, a lot of music, charge up the iPod and fill the cooler,…

A dream
I hadn’t seen her in several years but I had heard she was without legs, arms or a torso. I had forgotten by the time I ran into her in a coffee shop of some side street in some unknown town. One would think one would remember such a painful experience but I hadn’t. So…
