November 2008
Jørn Utzon died yesterday. He’s best known for the Sydney Opera House, but he got his start in Denmark, and this summer I visited some of his buildings.
This is me at Bagsværd Church. My pictures to follow later today, once I get back to Chicago.
WHOA. I was seconds away from applying for grad school with “female” checked.

Incomputicado.
This bread may have had Corbin Bleu on the package, but it doesn’t work for grilled cheese at all. Outer edge burned, inside barely toasted.
I woke up underneath the fitted sheet…

Am I a cunt for hating my mother? Every time she calls it annoys the hell out of me. Like I’m perfectly fine, until I hang up the phone and I feel incredibly exhausted and stressed out. Pissed off even. It’s not like she’s saying anything particularly Bitch, it’s just everything is SO HARD with her. I will get my car fixed SOON OK? What’s it to you anyway? It’s my problem? Oh, you...

I think I’m obsessed with making ice. Just found out that one of my ice trays was actually two ice trays stacked together. I’ve increased my ice-making capacity by 33%!
Now the top shelf of the freezer is entirely dedicated to ice production. I filled up a big tupperware container with cubes and put that on the bottom shelf. Might run out of room soon. If it gets below freezing...
fellow tumblrers, thanks for the TV suggestions.
Dexter and Weeds were good, on to Veronica Mars. Don’t understand why she’s not shooting lightning, and I thought that one guy just got married to Chloe Sullivan?
Tomorrow I work for the same amount of hours I was awake today.
I’m a classy fellow.

Wikipedia says I should drink my orange juice through a straw? Tooth erosion? Acid? Oh god I drink so much orange juice I’m gonna be toothless!
The other day I heard part of a conversation as I passed 2 girls. The first part I heard was either “do you want to get raped?” or “do you want to get rabies”
The next part I could hear was “well farm boys are like that.” That didn’t clarify Part 1 for me, because rabies -> animals -> farm, so that could make sense, and while I’m not exactly...
The knob on the AC unit broke this morning (yes I still use the AC at night, its 80 degrees in here right now)
It’s stuck on “High” which I suppose is better than “Off” but is not my preferred “Low.” So now I am limited to unplugged or full blast.
If I had pliers I think I could get it set right, but somehow the person I’m subleasing from manages...

Got a haircut yesterday, and it turns out the guy didn’t trim one sideburn at all. It’s half an inch longer than the other. Looks ridiculous.

I guess I missed a really good SNL. And part of me really regrets that… but also I had fun IRL. And I guess that trumps internet fun.
“You girls look smart. Do you know what time it is?”
– some guys in their 20s hundled in a doorway on Broadway to some passing girls. Pick up line? Lead in to a request for change? Not sure, but I liked it.
Yesterday at work I thought “I love it when a plan comes together,” like in The A-Team, but I was referring to a unit plan for an apartment building.
Everything lined up, everything greater than the minimum required size, good closet space, AND completely accessible under the most restrictive guidelines. All elegant with efficient use of space.
Wheelchair-bound folks seeking...
Pick-up lines I will never use
“Hey my name is Kevin, but you can call me “Kelvin,” because I’m an absolute zero.”
The most disturbing part of an episode of Dexter for me is the title sequence, with the cutting of the food and him getting dressed. People chopped into pieces I can handle, but I fast forward through the theme song every time.
Remember Reaganomics? It’s time to coin some new terms!
My ideas: Ecobamics Obanomics
and for those that don’t like Obama, how about some name-calling with “Commie Obamie” and “Joe the Socialist”

Tonight was my first time in a Boystown establishment (boystablishment)
Showtunes night at Sidetrack. Not bad, kind of chill, lots of old musical numbers I didn’t recognize at all.
It is 80 degrees in my apartment tonight. Not an exaggeration, measured fact.
Many replies to my earlier query. Thanks for the tips y’all. I’ll cross out the ones I’ve seen, will check out some of the others.

me: clever girl!
jonesy: nice jurassic park ref
me: I can't type in that accent, that would have helped
jonesy: except I imagine you as a much gayer hunter than that guy.
me: mmm totally
jonesy: hotpants and fake eyelashes
me: I think he did wear hotpants
jonesy: he wore bermuda shorts, but yours would be skintight and so short they show ass cleavage
me: hot
me: do I still have to get eaten by raptors?
jonesy: no it's gay jurassic park, so it just turns into a porn scene
me: 8" claws uncut raptor seeking game warden for hot jungle action
jonesy: oh god, gay jurassic park gets its own craigslist

Just finished Skins season 2. Wow. I think I watched two seasons in three days. I think I first heard of the show from JohnnyFive, so thanks mate.
It’s refreshing to see a show where things really happen. Where actions have consequences, and injuries (both emotional and physical) don’t just suddenly go away next episode. Most of the shows I watch are comedies or ridiculous...
