I am at work at the moment. Normally I have Saturdays off, but I agreed to work instead of another supervisor. I was lazy this morning, but I had to be up, and in order to stay up I decided to make couscous and dolmas to bring to work. And they were a hit! I just wish I had remembered to take a picture because...

Today is such a glorious day! It dawned a gorgeous shade of orange. The breeze played with my hair, and the sun caressed by cheek; the sky was such a rare shade of blue, and not a single cloud in the sky! I am feeling in rare form... indeed: for has the lack of a girlfriend gotten me down today? Nay! Has the fact I...

Happy thanksgiving to one and all!


And you know what else. I have been procrastinating for too damn long. I want to get some ink on my skin.

Good evening and many salutations! I am bored and waiting to get of work, all the thoughts running in my head are just a series of non sequitors... I am somewhat curious to see the Borat movie. I believe I'll check it out on Saturday.

You know full well that I adore you. Its been obvious from the first day we started talking to each other. Why must you play coy? And whats with the cryptic voicemails?

Its been getting darker a lot earlier than I'm used to. If it keeps up like this, this is shaping up to be one depressing ass winter.
I saw a bum wearing burnt orange from head to foot today. It seemed appropriate.
I'm bored and incoherent, but I did make some kick ass black beans today.

Recently, at the suggestion of a good friend of mine, I read Robert Musils The Man Without Qualities. I heartly recommed it to anyone, though one would have to devote plenty of time wading through this 2 volume tome, which stretches well over a thousand pages. At any rate, since I am at work, and unable to think of anythine right now to right...

So I decided that I want a pen pal. There is something cool about getting a handwritten letter through the old fashioned snail mail. All I get is junk and bills and dirty magazines, so if anyone wants to shill out a stamp, just let me know

Work has me exhuasted tonight. I did catch a pretty mellow sunset during my lunch hour but I'm about to fall over.
At any rate I'll let Sir Thomas Wyatt explain my mood:

WHOSO list to hunt ? I know where is an
hind !
But as for me, alas ! I may no more,
The vain travail hath wearied me so sore ;

I am ambivalent about her at this very moment. I think that I would fall to my knees in gratitude to have her as my girlfriend, and yet I cannot shake the suspicion that doing so would make me unhappy, and that those precieved rewards would vanish to dust. I don't have any proof to back that up, just random thoughts. So its heads or...

Another Grossman quote, quote of the day I suppose

"And the peasant children! Have you ever seen the newspaper photographs of the children in the German camps? They were just like that, their heads like heavy balls on thin little necks, like storks, and one could see each bone of their arms and legs protruding from beneath the skin, how bones joined, and the entire...

I've been reading a book about Vasily Grossman; very compelling stuff.
some quotes:

...there is no higher happiness than to be able to crawl on one's stomach, out of the camp, blind, one's legs amputated, and to die in freedom, even if only ten yards from the cursed barbed wire.

...only one form of retribution is visited upon an executioner _ the fact that he...
