Dang, My eyes are hurting for the sunlight streaming in.
New job, new home, new air purifiers, new computer (second hand from my sis).
Things are so different than they used to be and I don't think that is bad. It requires some adjustment but it sure isn't bad.
Well, where to begin , I couldn't even say.

It's really a pain in the butt sometimes especially when I go out to a restauraunt. BUT miracle of miracles I found out that this yummy cambodian restaurant called the Elephant walk offers a menu just for celiacs!!!!
That is so exciting.

I am not entirely sure what I am going to be doing but I am excited about the change.
Having a little time off from working has been good. I start on Monday and I am a little overwhelmed by all that Ihave to get done...move into a new place start a new job have my birthday.

They do bug.
They are smarmy and suckitudinous.
Bugsome.
Why do I let them under my skin.
Why can't I keep myself from worrying about the fact that they are in first place.
Why are they winning?
Their pitching certainly isn't awesome.
They aren't that special.
It seems like points should be taken off for them being painful to watch...all smug and shit.

I went to Montreal this weekend.
Never been before.
It was fun to speak French and feel a million miles away.
The drive was a mite brutal but pretty damn pretty. Many mountains and trees and some farm country reminiscent of Kansas.
I hit a bird while driving. It is possible that the bird hit me but I think I hit the bird. I got a ticket for speeding. The first one on 10 years. uck.

It was meant to be absurd.
Some of the acting was overly absurd and took away from the subtlety of the playwrights absurdity.

I am in a pretty flippin' pathetic way this morning.
I wonder what makes people wreck havoc after a big sporting event?
Everyone who watches a big game should be required to work out for 45 minutes before watching a game so that will use up some of that pent up energy...or they should set up padded room where people can hurl themselves at the walls in Pollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04906020667002844605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845976.post-1075398622165452772004-01-29T12:50:00.000-05:002004-01-29T12:53:07.496-05:00Holy windy-ness.
I want some new music.
Does anyone have some recent favorites?
I want the new Mountain Goats record and I want the shins new record too.
I feel woefully outta the loop.
Help bring me back into the musical fray would ya?
I watched Modulations last night.
It is a documentary about electronica made in the late 90s.
I was really informative and interesting.

Fascinating.
What is the chemistry - the biological imperative for falling in love?
Irrationality, obsession...what's it all about?
This is an interview with Fisher.
The thing I like about my job is that I can find a way to use her research in an article I am writing. That means I get to call her and ask her questions.

Quiet brings some form of peace.
Comfortable in my skin (What?!? Comfortable? No...no that's impossible and true) and warm.
Warmer than before.
Various chapsticks are littered about me.
I love the way my lips tingle with Camphor.

I loved that show as a kid.
I even had a club called the mr.greenjeans club.
I think the club was mean spirited and hurtful to other neighborhood kids.
That is surely not what Captain Kangaroo nor Mr. Greenjeans would have wanted.
I see that now.
Oh yeah, remember the ping pong balls...that was so funny. Loved that.

Breathe and look at his web site. (www.deanforamerica.com) Really read what he is about. Read his issues pages.
Howard Dean stands for responsible choices and thoughtful policies.
Policies that educate, feed, clothe and offer medical care. He believes that people equipped with the fundamentals can be more successful.

I don't believe the fight is over and I will stand behind him as a cadidate because I know that political races shift in a moment...

See a page about her here. I find her work exhilarating and brilliant.
Raw textured and craggy. Even the kids in her paintings look worn by the world. Real and scary and beautiful...I first saw a monograph of her work in my freshman painting class in high school.
