i am sunphobic lately but it's hard when basking in it feels so good! i just have to remember to slather on the spf55.

good night, everyone. Don't get sunburnt tomorrow while I'm off in school. ;_;

ok so you may not remember this, but in december last year i was raving about how jordan revealed to me on my birthday that he was going to buy me the limited edition, collector's edition of ray caesar's first ever art book. i also ordered the trade edition which arrived last week after 9 months of waiting. well, today jordan got The Email, telling him the special edition is available and he bought it for me - at $650.

but this isn't just any old book:

holy crap i am so excited about this! it should arrive next friday!!

that is awesome

:-D

good evening, itr! i am so bored that i am going to repeat my 'boring saturday night' post here. i am bored. no one wants to go out. i am feeling alternately lame and pissed. i should revisit my 'where to move' search with added criterion: must contain people who will make and keep solid plans on a regular basis. nyc is very non-committal.

You should move here and hang out with me sometimes. I am terrible about making plans at times (school!), but I usually keep them when I do make them...

I have a technical question for Dan/John/other lurking mod types. When I load a long thread - for example, the current gen. election thread - I get huge gray boxes obliterating lots of the text. It doesn't seem to happen on shorter threads. What the hell is that about? I can't stay at my house constantly to read everything and in some cases I hate missing stuff.

sundayyyyyy. i am a little annoyed because i really want to make coffee but roommate's houseguests who were out way late last night are sleeping in my living room and the grinder would be a very rude awakening. ugh. not a good way to start the day.

Beautiful day here in SoCal. Finishing up laundry and dishes and will take the chance to rest and reflect a bit.

we are going hiking in marin!

sounds fun!

this afternoon i am flying on an airplane over some mountains back from the parents' house. sun in the blue sky so the window seat should pay off

what kind of plane (i.e. how high u fly, bro?)? you know, once you're above cloud level it doesn't matter much whether it's clear or cloudy below, you just get sunny prettiness!

oh i like to try to take pictures of the patterns of the fields.
12k feet so i should see eeeeverything.
bombardier

nice :D

i am feeling alternately lame and pissed

read this last night and thought: Damn! i know that feeling
when people bag out

yeah it makes you feel annoyed but also like you are totally uncool/unworthy of being hung out with.

i just wanted to dance, man :(

CANT STOP BUYING ART

http://www.klocke-salminen.com/klocke_portfolio.html

bought the painting called "reflect" (#31) and 3 other things she doesn't have in the portfolio.

nice!!!

i am so bored omg.

John, that is very cool.

tehresa, sorry you are bored. I am having a TON of fun reading about the GI system. I had to say, "no, you guys can't come over today and have your kids play with our kids" to our closest friends, and I am feeling crappy about that, but I'm buried in a shit ton of homework and I need to have the house quiet (and not to have people over). I have been in this program for what seems like forever, but somehow my closest friends still don't seem to quite "get it" when I can't hang out with them every single weekend. GRRRRRR.

Also now feeling guilty that all I ever do is vent on this board. :(

art is hung, almost time for awesome show.

^^^^ So envious right now!

if it makes you feel better, we had breakfast at the local bakery and ate freshly baked pastries.

oh wait no that was awesome too.

I really want to hate you, but apparently I'm incapable of anything but dull envy right now. UGH

When you get a chance I'd like to hear about the pastries, though.

guys kyle mclachlan is sitting across from me right now!
this is exciting stuff. i was a twin peaks obsessive for a while.

AWES.

Mmmmm, pastries. Sara, are you reading the Killer Thread using Firefox?

we went for a 3 hour hike in marin county, v v pretty, v v tiring. my hands and ankles are all swollen and puffy but finally getting back to normal.

OMG I SAW A SNAKE while we were there! just a little one, maybe a foot long, brown and v pretty. my first ever snake!

and speaking of delish sunday food: we took bagels with us, i had an asiago bagel from noah's, so fantastic! as are their mudslide cookies. then i came and felt like i musta burned a trillion calories on that hike today so it was ok to eat the caramel-choc-pecan clusters i bought from trader joes yesterday...

then i came *home*

or that sentence sounds really dodgy...

kyle mclachlan is sitting across from me right now!

omg!!! where??

seriously! wtf?

also nice going RR speaking in imperial already!

Mmmmmm, Kyle McLachlan in Twin Peaks = so fantastic. How does he look in person now, though? Every time I see him on tv I think, "hmmm, he hasn't aged well."

RR Your FOOD sounds so yum. And your First Snake Ever? Really?! (Don't they have snakes in NZ?!)

suzy, yes, Firefox is the browser that I typically use for ILX stuff. Should I try it in Safari (assuming it doesn't crash my entire computer)?

on the plane?!?!? is he like, twin peaks awesome or desperate housewives ehhh? SO JEALOUS!!!!

I really want to hate you, but apparently I'm incapable of anything but dull envy right now. UGH

i know. i want to hate people fore their happiness but i just can't!!! argh. i mean, certain people i can hate, but not good people.

i finally got some socialization: sat outside @ local for 2 pints of amazing bloody marys plus a knob creek to top things off, with a nice, casual chat among friends. it was very peaceful.

certainly they have snakes in nz! though i wish you were from AUS right now so i could say 'if there are no snakes, picnic at hanging rock is a LIE!!!!!' and be all indignant.

I have never seen Picnic at Hanging Rock, but I have heard of it. Now I really want to see some Snakes on a Plane-type scenes in it, though, and I suppose I'll be sorely disappointed.

I just don't have the energy to hate anybody these days. C'est tragique!

oh btw i picked up sushi for dinner on my way home. NOM.

there are no snakes in nz, or poisonous anything except for katipo spiders which are not very lethal, or scary, or common, i've never seen one outside of a museum. there are no native mammals either, only birds and reptiles.

TZA I watched picnic at hanging rock just last week!! Miranda wasn't THAT hot

estela is right. we have no bears, no dangerous cats, nothing like that. the most dangerous thing you can encounter in the wild is a farm-hick or a wild boar.

razorback!

wild boars like in LOST? or LORD OF THE FLIES?

I have no idea; other people have complained about it as well. I'm guessing someone posted videos that can't be embedded or something similar.

also a big FUCK YOU to middle-of-the-night heartburn/acid reflux that wakes you up at 4:30 AM and keeps you awake

:(
