hungover. i've been hungover all day, and it won't go away. grumpy and tummyachy. i drank absinthe last night. i don't remember much. won't do that again on a work night.

beautiful sunset the other night. strange, how that pinky orange color only looks good in the sky and on living things (like salmon) but otherwise is kind of sad-looking.

going to leave before...

Oof. I hope you're recovering, maybe into the jittery, queasy stages by now. Possibly beyond.

I just found out they "add color" to the salmon raised on farms, feeding them carotenoids to make the flesh pink. This is the world we live in.

Do you drink to enhance your happy feelings or to get rid of the other ones? This entry worried me. If it means anything and isn't presumptuous or stupid, I'd rather you not do the full Marilyn with alcohol/substances yet. Or ever. Important that you be around for a long time. smile

i hate hate hate paying for food. it's so absurd. it just goes away. *poof* work = money = food = energy to do more work. it seems like a dumb vicious cycle. more like a viscous cycle, actually. less aggressively violent, more just sticky and slow. like wading through corn syrup.

days are long and hot. i'm a little irritable. i want something to...

another interview tomorrow, this time at a friend's office. maybe i have a chance at this one. maybe. 'twould be nice. it's way far out, though - long commute.. and i'd be dealing with a bunch of compulsive gamblers.. facilitating it. oh well. it has great benefits.

we're going to be moving out of our house soon. our housemate is leaving, and we can't afford...

Having nothing to say is fine with me. I usually have nothing to say when my fingers first hit the keys, and then it happens. Or doesn't. I hope you get the job, gambler-enabling or not, and your limbo period doesn't last long.
atrasties:
I think it's the heat everyone seems a little muddled, like they are all dancing a fraction off the beat.
Good luck tomorrow, benefits are always a welcome thing in a job. Huggles and such.

beautiful cool late afternoon. sun hasn't set yet, but it's still shining through the clouds, like a ceiling fresco. strange how if art imitates life for long enough life seems like it's imitating art instead.

i have nasty belly cramps. i've been resting my computer on my belly because the heat makes me feel a little better, but only a little. grrr. i hate being...

I nominate collard greens. Not for president; for dinner. And blackeyed peas! Yours truly is a major consumer of all legumes, having been raised on pinto beans and bread. We was poor.

It must be good to have a neighborhood. Last time I experienced such a thing was in south St. Louis, where all the backyards were separated by chain-link fences yet connected by something else, as we mowed our lawns and filled our plastic swimming pools and, at night, sat outside with the Cardinals games on our radios and drank beer. Well, some people did.

Dear Ms. Mei,

hiya. I'm thinking that you need some cornbread with that dinner. Yuss, I dropped out o sight. I wish I had been up to skulduggery, but it was more like schoolduggery. or drudgery. ichy.
I did get a roommate though.
So, did you quite that blaech job?
I'm chewing Big Red. When I was a kid we had "Adam's sour grape" gum, which was the sourest, best, stinkiest gum around (eventhough the flaver only lasted about two seconds). My parents hated it because it would smel up the whole car. I loved it. It's by the same company that makes BlackJack gum, but I guess that they discontinued the sour grape. harumph. It was awful fun to see how many peices of hubbabubba one could fit into one's mouth, even though doing such was probably courting choking to death.

i've been having so much difficulty thinking of anything to say lately.. i think i'm dropping back into a minor depression. which is WAY better than the angry bitchy constantly-like-pms unhappiness that came from my job - just down. i must find some money to buy jogging shoes - the ones i have now i've had since second grade, so it hurts to run. i...

it's not as hot today as it has been lately. there are high, wispy clouds in the sky. the trees rustle like water from a faucet running while it gets cold. the midafternoon light is weaker than usual, like looking through a glass of water with a drop of milk in it.

i have nothing much to say, as usual. no job. no money. the...

I wish I could bring you into this project up here, I think it might be something you'ld enjoy working on.
Don't let it get you too down girl something will come your way and then things will start to spin.

I want to send you away for your year off to some exotic local in the tropics or on the asian coast, but since I can't even afford a couple beer for sunday I'll probably have to skip that idea.

thanks, all, for your hugs and happiness. it makes me feel better to know that there are people out there that arent' having hard times right now. you can see two entries back for the basic reason for the unhappiness. nothing like an old friend committing a nasty crime to make someone feel betrayed - and nothing like having a loved one feel betrayed to...

the worst kind of pain i have experienced is knowing that your own sorrow is paltry and pathetic compared to that of those you most want to comfort.

and don't ask what happened - i can't talk about it.

nex_flamma:
I was so ready to ask what happened, but since I can't I guess I'm just going to have to offer sympathy and support.
And for what it's worth, everything changes with time, and this too shall pass.
Hope you're ok.

i heard some very, very bad news today. the brother of a good friend committed a heinous crime. nobody is dead, but nobody involved is doing terribly well. i don't know what to think. i didn't know anyone involved very well, but i feel terrible for my friend. his brother is in prison, and will be there for a long time. he's very closed off...

sometimes when you know someone involved in a crime it makes it that much heavier to carry. whether they are victim or perp, it's not so anonymous like the news.

money, down the drain.. paid bills for the past few months, and realized again how poor we are. applied for a job with a yoga studio, but i don't know how good my chances are. i need to go apply for grad schools.

i'm tired. i slept terribly last night. i've been grumpy lately.
