Today I feel like shit. Probably through lack of sleep. Transplants have a way of fucking things up.
Still, it meant I felt that a big old caffeine high was in order for the morning, so I've been pouring espresso down my throat for a fair chunk of the day. And all that time my mind (unsurprisingly) was buzzing and shooting off on all kinds...

This week is half-term, so I don't have (evening) classes. This theoretically means I get home on time and can have a leisurely dinner in front of the TV, or surf the net, or drink beer, or play video games.
However, for reasons unknown to me, my subconscious appears to have decided that I need to step up the extra-curricular activities to fill the gap....

I miss Boston. One of my friends from there - well, actually from Jersey, but I met her when we were both living there - just got engaged, and it reminded me of what a great time we had.

Today I had my wisdom teeth out. Just on one side though, on the right. It's all a bit of a mess, I can't eat solids and I'm not supposed to drink alcohol for 48 hours.
It reminds me of snapping my ACL (thats the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee) in a funny kind of way. I was skiing in New Hampshire with some...

weekends... how do they manage it? When a musical and mildly alcoholic evening rears its beautiful head from the smooth surface of the mirror-like surface of a diary page, there was a hunter with a harpoon ready to kill it.
