talking to ma and pa on the telephone.

apparently after 35 years of carrying green cards, they decided to run off to illadelphia yesterday to become naturalized as citizens of the united states.

i wonder if that's gonna fuck up my dual-citizen status.

anyway.

welcome to america, folks.

call me if you need help putting up that gunrack on the volvo.

Deciding...

Quick, everyone...

Should I take Japanese for 5 credits (not in my major, but might be fun)

or Linear Algebra for 4 credits (There is one seat left in the class, I have to take it for my major, but I'm already taking 10 credits for my major.)

I was going to sign up for Japanese because the Math class was full, but one seat opened up. How I can't decide... What do y'all suggest?

linear alegebra kicks ass.

i took it from a uc berkeley entemology major. he provided us with interludes on spiders and the ilk.

but linear alegebra itself kicks ass. helps you write those graphic modeling algorithms.

i owe my life to graphic modeling algorithms. and coffee.

pondering a collection of collections

Pondering whether to admit I don't know what the hell graphic modeling algorithms are. Wanting to put a "y" somewhere in "algorithms"

i have a date with a cosmetic surgeon next week. we're going kayaking.

i wonder if this is a sign? or maybe i can be like cyst and get a freebie. because, you know, if you can't have love, at least you can have a nip and tuck.

hope y'all have a good weekend.

wishing that I had some rice pudding.

goin' to Portland in three weeks. Gonna be there the 1st thru 4th. Lots of whoopeee fun!

listening to Pere Ubu, and wishing my damn computer didn't suck so much.

i bought a super deluxe wacuum cleaner last night, so powerful it sucks all the dirt out through a foot of mattress. You should see how much scary stuff is in your mattress.

pardon, vacuum cleaner, I can't type today.

just tuning in in time to catch an episode of the fair-haired one before he vanishes.. i too have to work on Saturday. my tummy feels really weird though and i think i'm going to lie down a bit first. Kevin Bacon? Cave Dweller?

i am in rome



motherfuckers

just because you're in rome doesn't mean it's not your turn.

trying to view my boyfriend's film on the ifilm.com site and being disgusted that not only is there no link to the digital catapult festival on the front page but their search function is not functioning. All I ask is that people maintain their sites. Is that too much?

listening to Bad Brains.

trying to figure out which method of bodyfat testign is more accurate, the skinfold test 9 but my conversion tables are from 1976 and don't take your weight into account) or a version that uses tape measurements and your weight, but is admittedly less accurate?

Either way, I am below the percentage at whcih one is considered not overweight (even though I do not have a flat belly yet).

laundry day today. bluh.

My mother is coming to visit next weekend, then the weekend after is my family reunion, then afterthat I fly to PDX...exciting!

Good luck Mark

Don't Have one

sleepless.

i have found that getting into bed with a glass of vermouth and listening to classical music helps me drift off, but i don't have any alcohol right now. don't feel like going out and buying some.

waiting for the nyquil to take effect.

eating grapes!

This afternoon I lug a 35-lb piece of sensitve scientific epuiment around on my back, and that's all. Then I go work out.

It is late,I am fucked,I don.t care anymore,she is back,but she has not called me,it is scarery

staring out the window.

every week i fill in an hours sheet for payroll purposes, on which i indicate what i did that week, and how long it took me.

some days i don't do anything at all. this could be me waiting for a file or report from someone that's too busy to send it, or i just plain have nothing to do. Usually on the sheet i just extend whatever i was doing the previous day to fill that day too.
But hey, that's boring.

I want to have a whole archive of fancy tecnical terms for doing shit all on a computer, just as "propane transfer tecnician" means 'gas station pump boy'. And i think you're just the people to help me here.

what're some tecnical terms for going on the internet for 8 full hours?

'intranet testing and re-evaluation'......

just found some timbers fro mthe mill in the creek, washed out of the bank after that big storm we had 2 weeks ago. Took the smaller ones back to the lab and determined they were from the waterwheel. I hope they don't crack too bad when they dry out some. Gonna go back out this afternoon and survey downriver for more.

we'll sit up in the trees

I love The Kinks, one of my favorite songs by them is Musweell Hillbilly.I guess it was because it is about a hillybilly from West Virginia,who loves his Rosie and her bloodshot,alchoholic eyes.Still have not heard from the female spawn,maybe it is for the best.

struggling towards full consciousness, trying to push away the fog on my brain.

Not getting over this god damned cold one bit. Not even a little.

delightful to see your face, psb.

wondering about the stories hiatus

wondering if it is a coincidence that i was just wondering about the stories hiatus too. wondering and wondering and wondering. that's what this place is so good for................

Work. If you recall who
*I* am, you would
remember that I
despise work. Well,
tedious work anyways.
Which is all I seem to
be able to get at the
moment. My last day is
tomorrow, and then it's
back to school for the
summer. Trust me, it's
no fun moving back
and forth across this
lovely state of Ohio.
On a different note, I'm
finding it odd how my
life is becoming more
and more intertwined
with my girlfriends.
Meaning our moods
and things effect each
others and the current
state of our
relationship is
something that affects
my mood.. it's strange
to me that I am no
longer a true
*individual*, but rather
a member of a couple.
And I don't know if
that's a good thing or
not.

ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! it's truly amazing... sometimes the sexiest guys are lurking under the dorkiest countenances. lesson: give beauty, because you just never know.

baking

in a bad way

it's 110 here

82 in the office.

what a day to lose the AC.

And the winner is...?

The cosmetic surgeon?

or am I not folowing you?

Sounds like Sarah is the winner:) Czarina sent me the neatest talking card yesterday,sent some to my friends,then I had an idea.I had saved 3 voice messages my mother had left on my phone,tomorrow I,ll take her off call rejection.Anyway I thought it would be funny to send some of my friends her shitty message,if you only knew her you would understand.Got the card all ready to record and her message up,but even though she was screaming in the phone,you could hardly hear it when I played it.I,m going to ask Ryan to record it and mix it.GREEKS BEARING GIFTS!!! I,LL GET YOU FOR FRAUD!!! She is a real piece of work.

going home. tired of working. i hate when i have to live at borg central. so, i'll go watch those damned idiot survivor people on tv and my job stress won't seem so bad.

my life isn't always this lame, i swear!

i'm updating the damn spreadsheet using Citrix over a dial-up connection. one character at a time. why the hell did they use a spreadsheet when there are no numbers to add. i'm listing all the things i have to do before 8:00 a.m tomorrow. i'm going over the edge. maybe for good.

Miami bound!

waiting for a meeting to start.

There's been this huge flame war going on the one cultural resources list I subscribe to, about this book called "Skull wars", a treatment of the whoel Kennewick Man thing. I may have to read it now. This whole thing has been great for dragging the crackpots and screaming meeemies out of the woodwork. THat's what's nice about historical archaeology - less freaking out a la Miami Circle.

deciding that if i am ever an earthquake rescue worker i'm going to pack along a good supply of certs.

no, not the cosmetic surgeon. he had pedophile written all over him. not the sexy philosophy student. not the very jewish advertising exec weenie in maui, not the long-haired, episodic, rich east-coast divorcee, and not even george clooney's personal assistant from Santa Monica i met on the way back from maui.

the winner is a 32 year old ph.d. student in history from philly. he's a little overintellectual and a little too honkey, but nothing i can't work with. there's no job too big for the James Brown box set with a pinch of Galactic.

i admit, after weeks of pathetically dismal and torturous encounters, i had a very bad attitude going into it. a mixture of apathy and defeat. i didn't know too much about him; i thought he was going to be a totally conservative, straight-edge, dull and pretensious academic, but while he is your typical intellectual in many ways, mercifully he's not conservative, he parties, he's athletic, and he has a good sense of humor when he relaxes and loosens up and forgets his occupation. he's genuinely nice. i mean, really nice. and he's ripe. ready to do the involved thing, unlike the philosophy student.

and i thought i wasn't all that attracted to him. he's not unattractive, just a little too whitebread, a little plain, a bit unfunky for my taste. i didn't feel any chemistry at first, but i'm learning a lot of that has to do with horomones. but when he asked if he could kiss me and i said yes and then he did, i was totally surprised. he was good. sexy even. underneath all that dork, the boy knew how to handle me. i mean, shit, you just never know. i'd never have guessed that from looking at him. it's been ages since i've been with a sexually competent lover, i guess i've just come to expect the worst.

so yeah, i don't know. if i get more than two
dates out of this guy, it could go somewhere.
maybe. this situation, by far, has the most potential.

restless, manless, couldn't-care-less

back from the CSSR, putting the edge back on the bayonet. Everything zen.

looking at what looks like a full moon. surrounded by sweetness and love. feeling hostile. zen is for smug sons of beeyatches. smug is not zen.

looking like a day indoors - way to cloudy to haul the GPS unit today, so I will continue to transcibe last year's field notes.

Exciting.

My mothe comes to visit today - it's the first time since I moved here. Trying to decide whether togo see "Shaft" or "Titan AE".

Go Sarah! I'm happy for you. Wish I was as happy for myself. I on the other hand am feeling like I could rape the next man I'm alone with even if he looked like Elmer Fudd.

What, Elmer Fudd isn't sexy?

Is it 'cause he's bald?

Yesterday,Amee and Heather came by to take me to lunch,Amee looked good,aexcept she dyed her hair black and it looks harsh with her coloring,probably trying to look goth,living in New Orleans.She is going to work with Heather,already they are bickering and it has only been 4 days.Went to Serranos and had lunch and a pitcher of Margaritas,I paid.I still don,t know why she came back,but she is up to something. I am very hurt and angry because we were going to see Roger Waters tonight,his In the Flesh tour.He hasn,t done this since his Radio KOAS tour in 87,wich I saw,but he has to work a 12 hour shift.It,s all they can do at his work to prevent brown and black outs and it is only June.WWell I won,t bitch too much,he wants the overtime so we can go somewhere this summer,I kind of want to go to Vegas but it is hot there too.Maybe Durango,Colorado.I love it there.

thinkg hard about takin' off early.

I swear somebody here is starting their weekend early! I know that smell,it's unmistakeable, it's coming up thru the vents.
Somebody on the lower floors is doing a scene much like those exhibited in Eric's basement on That 70's show.
