ok. so i started to write this rant and then decided against it. i'll give the gist of it here.

it's often annoying when people think you're young and then treat you differently when they realize you're 10 yrs old than they thought you were.

it's definitely annoying when people objectify you and the only 2 conversations they can have is 1. you are so thin! or 2. here, have a cookie.
that was satisfying. i think i had previously gotten most of my rant out of the way earlier.

i've heard of a study that women are more prone to hating their jobs when they don't get enough sleep. the adverse being that they wouldn't have so much job dissatisfaction if they got enough sleep.

... last night i went to bed at 10:30 and i can say w/ authority that the study was a bunch of crock and that besides being more awake, the day is crawling by.

classes have begun and i'm taking basic information sources & services and techincal services in small libraries. BRING ON THE EXCITEMENT!! YEA BUDDY! :)

also, the reading. oof!

**************************************************************

anthony and i watched nightwatch last night. really good film! i like it because it didn't hold you hand throughout the entire movie. i hate when movies babystep you through every single thing, explaining in painful detail. having said that, i think sometimes it bordered on the too-artsy-unexplained.

watch it, maybe you'll see what i mean.

strange burning aromas coming from the vicinity of my brain...

i found the neatest site while doing my assignment for my library class today (yes, it is due on monday).

check it out - internet resources arranged by topic! i love when finding information gets easier.


while writing my paper, i've realized how rusty i've become in trying to get my thoughts written down in a coherent manner. i took 2 courses 2 semesters ago, but those were science courses requiring memorization and not actual thought and idea cohesion. i can't wait until i'm back up to speed and don't have to stop and knit my brow in confusion when trying to find the right word to type.

also, thanks to sleep goblin, my internet girlfriend, for being my firstest etsy customer!

weekends truly pass by all too quickly. saturday was spent researching and hanging out w/ jen at borders. in the evening i went to red room cinema's show at the oliva cigar factory. i believe it is the last, if not one of the oldest, wooden cigar factories in ybor. we found it funny that a cigar factory would be made of wood.

and holy hell, was it hot. and humid. i would equate it with the appleseed cast/aloha/candybars show in temperature. what's up with venues in florida not having air conditioning? are they asking for me to pass out and sue them?

sarah, her brother and g/f, rosie and jesse braved the heat and came out to the show. ... who am i kidding? they had no idea it would be that hot. thanks so much for sticking it out! and truly, we were sticky. more ya ya sweat. (i actually dislike that word, i need to find a better cute nickname.) thankfully we were able to hang out near the non-existant air conditioner's intake for a while. it was the only place you could actually feel air move unless you were right in front of a fan. it was a heaven of swirling air. our crowded bodies must have caused it to short out, because it stopped completely by the time rrc went on. at one point at the end of the show i had to leave and go outside from dizziness.

and afterwards, new world brewery and then gyros! delicious, lamb-y, yogurt-y, onion-y, tomato & lettuce-y goodness. and garlic. oh lord, the garlic.

::tummy rumble::

and for real - some of the ladies walking the street in ybor are *skanks.*

if i can't finish cleaning....

...i'll spend 2 hours and reformat my blog instead!
what library assignment??
::rubs her eyes::

and if i read one more word about css or html... i'm going to chug this here bottle of wine. mmmm...

maybe i'll just chug it anyways.

things i am envious of (because i'm sinful like that):

madge's (ex-) job.
madge's rummy doll.
rachel's beautiful apt.
jen's super clean house.
star's job.
star's super big house.


.... that's all i can think of at present. can you tell i'm all about jobs and cleaning? hopefully soon i shall have a new job (somehow) and my house will be clean (someday).

at least, the bottom half, since i'm hosting gfss friday night.

aaaiiiieeeee!!

so.

hey there.



can you believe that it's almost june?

no, really. it's almost june.




the passage of time is fast and frightening.


i think i'm going to have a glass of wine. or two.

i haven't posted much, mainly because i've really been spending a lot of time... umm... napping. and um... getting used to my contacts. seriously, these things are whack! mostly it's that my eyes feel super dry - often and easily.

my online graduate library class started today and this morning was spent in a flurry of nerves. the website overwhelmed me a little. but i just did the week's assignments and i'm feeling pretty darn proud of myself. a couple-of-glasses-of-wine-proud.

i'm also a little stressed. i leave on wednesday night to visit my bestest friend michie, who i never get to talk to, ever. we're bad phone people. but we're good in that we still love each other lots. and i'm doing my laundry now and haven't even begun thinking about packing.

ok... that's a lie. i started a list. but that's all! honest!

and my dad is unfortunately back in the hospital. he keeps getting weird high blood pressure at odd times. they're watching him for 24 hours to make sure he's ok and to hopefully figure out what's up.

ah, wine. sweet nectar of the gods. bring me relief whilst i look and contemplate my messy, messy room.
