ooer
its someone's birthday

missd breffus today, or rather ate rest of first loaf of vile mutligrain [nopte to self, NO MULTIGRAIN] bread as french toast at noon. and then starved quietly all day. as i drink my wine let me warn you to expect tipsiness. second class on venezuela was also fabulous! prof too adorable for expression, being spanish and hugely so makes me go warm and fuzzy. umreeki accent doing well, everyone understands at first shot now.

went to trader joesssssss :D line was long but only took about 10 min, got all nice foodies yumyum that had to lug back home on subway, which means endless stairs. and let us not forget the joys of a 3rd [4th US american] floor walkup.

no stools yet gnaaaaarh. feets hurt. cant go sit on couch because am making pasta and must be near it while it boils so as to notice the state of cookedness. also for instance, pot overflowed on covering. annnd just did so again.

insane amount of work only partly done. will have to stay up all night only ustleave house before 8 tom to get to danceworks class all the way downtown at univ. am going to get use out of unlimited metrocard!

paul simon planned for oct, clapton for soon, must go and try for tickets. venezuelan film festival next weekend...aaaaaaaaaa.

and lets not forget senor mencia :) if i can get tickets. ill go alone i swear. arighty. work beckons. gnight me loveys

18th september 2006

have to do this thing in my head whenever there is a date inovled, especially wiht cheques and the like. i think it, i flip it, i flip it back just to check its still the date i want and then flip it back again to write it donw. most annoying.

things must buy:
broom
mop
dustpan and brush
iron
coffee filters
coffee
cooker
one more thing i cant remember
textbooks
hangers
cereal
purple pens
tea strainer
fruit

things must gently prod people to give me after they have promised them to me:
bookshelves
desk
chairs
little cabinet

things must do:
walk across brooklyn bridge [to wait for Boy Have Crush On to "show me the city" as offered before doing so and thusly be all panty and sweaty and gaspy while he does so, while proving conclusively that am far from athletic and thus he shld have no interest in me what so ever, or not?]
ride staten/liverty island ferry, or both
take fotos in the park, yets didnt have camera and mssed some fntastic ones
eat at mamoon's falafel
response papers for this week
clean house

had fab time at dept party on friday, despite pouring rain, almost indian in its intensity, as opposed to usual gentle drizzles that cause such trauma here, and damp trousers. drank a lot. :D free rioja is always a pleasure. missed latin dance and tango lessons because didnt want to slosh through rain hahahah because didnt want to go away and have to stop tlaking to BHCO. had to leave conti party at local pub just as BHCO was teaching me to play pool [*weeps*] to have dinner with annoying child of parental friends who will probably be moving in in december. whoopeee.

decided yest to not have crush on BHCO because refuses to take any initiative. after recent life events deicded to take break from being initiative taker, but then wiht pathological impatience will probably do so and with terrible timing. however. must go read and respond

D as in Jesus

sitting in flat. have window open *shock and horror*. laptop on lap, and off kitchen counter, where it spends evenings and morning while i cook. backpack is stuffed wiht endless Readings that MinCat must Read. portuguese class was immense fun. thats where the title is from. "it must be because we're catholic" says instructor, right on the heels of that gem. i think im going to love this class. i hve a crush already yaaaaaaay. should i call him and suggest hangout this weekend? alreayd have once. should i take initiative?? with someone in my class that im going to have to see once a week atleast for a year? should i eat the last piece of apple pie? it expires in less than 2 hours. should iw ear a skirt and risk freezing? should i drink that third glass of white wine? should i buy margarita mix? it would go with my faux mexican food, corn tortillas, cheese and some random stuff thrown in with habichuelos rosadas from a can. club latin and tango classes start this friday whooopeeeeeeee! i might "have" to buy more new clothes. snh snh snh. stipend cheque arrives tomorrow thank ye oh holy one. :D boots boots boots boots
