they say that it's good to maintain continuity, or a routine, or whatever. you know, do the some of the same things you always do just to keep yourself grounded and, by extension, (mostly) sane. that's why i'm now in the computer lab, with nine hours to go until my presentation and quite ill-prepared for it because i just cannot care about this class. i...

drawing purchased. now it really is beans and toast week, no turning back. i can probably survive most of this week on my current larder, except i'll need to procure some more peanut butter soon. i have enough beans for the rest of the week, plus a few servings of couscous and basmati rice. and maybe i should get some veggies too so i don't...

beans and toast week has started, albeit a bit later than i'd planned. the parents slipped me a few pounds this weekend but i spent them all on food and drink in a relatively short amount of time (though i got a lot of drink for my buck, thanks ULU). then there was a tasty plate of curry at spitalfields and a giant eclaire. so...

well, like the asshole i am i forgot about the cannibal corpse show in camden last night so no death metalings for me. it's not that bad, though, since i get another chance to see them this summer....with GWAR, and tim, no less. and i filled the time up with a spanish feast con la familia at pirata in mayfair. i had cochinillo asado, keeping...

i've been listening to massive attack lately and i must say i'm growing quite fond of them. they make for perfect "walking alone at night down theobald's way in an introspective mood" music, as well as "i am doing no fucking work no matter what because i'm that damn shiftless" music. i don't know the name or album of my favorite track but i'm pretty...

nothing much worth talking about. my parents are here, so i get free dinners for awhile. my mood has been soured quite thoroughly by my impending doom grade-wise. i caught myself counting down the days left here this morning (31 left). funny how time decided to finally start flying by.

oh! but i did see a pug dog riding in a bike basket with a...

i wandered around whitechapel for a few hours yesterday rather than do badly-needed research. i rationalized it as being first-hand interaction with the urban fabric, since my project is on whitechapel, but the day's ramble mostly served to shore up two conclusions, namely that 1) my grades are gonna be in the crapper this semester no matter what and 2) i really like whitechapel. it's...

well, great, thanks to J. i have to avoid instant messanger, though that's not that big a deal since i'm not on it much these days anyway. i'm used to the occasional im, and i usually get sick of it after "so how are you doing" because that signals the torrent of new and creative ways she has found to make a mess of her...

sometimes i let myself forget that for some reason or another, the karma system actually seems to work for me. when i get wronged in a real harsh way, stuff brightens up after about a week or so just like that, and i'm in a good fucking mood again.

"good fucking mood" is not terribly accurate; i feel better right now than i have all...

j. david fix appeared at my doorstep with bleached hair and is now residing on my non-urine soaked couch (so he thinks). he, sun, and myself had THE WORKS at pizza hut (two pizzas, four sodas, two starters and ice cream, only 24.99), and then went and gayed it up for awhile at G-A-Y, which was thoroughly fun. i felt somewhat inadequate as every other...

since you can't delete journal entries, i am censoring myself because at this point in my life i felt the need to be a whiny asshole, and that has long since ceased being the case
