  I find myself in need of a mattress or bed, futon, papasan pad /something on which to lay my body at night, bookshelves,dresser, table or desk, sometime between now and this weekend.

I'm surfing craigslist, but I wanted to put the word out among friends, too.

I have pretty much nothing to offer in exchange aside from gratitude, or tutoring, if you're in the market.
If you've got any old furniture, i don't care if its scratched, stained, ugly or anything. I can work with that. if you don't want it, please drop me a line. thanks, everybody.

  Leonard Cohen is playing Red Rocks in June on is first tour in almost two decades. Why the fuck did I move away from Colorado? I'd hock my left eyebrow to go, and I'm not really even a big concert person. But it's Lenny.....
In other news, everything's fine. I'm on schedule even if I've been slacking a little this week. Thanks CHC,for reminding me, even though I was trying to blame everything but myself, even down to the red light timing on Horatio. Totally Mia Culpa. So I'm taking a little time out for a few days to get myself back on track. What happens in six months? I have no fucking idea. But it's time to start working on that too. Open to suggestions, in spite of being chronically out of touch.

  observation and judgement aren't the same thing. They sometimes occur simultaneously, but that's just a human reflex. further reflection tends to reverse the latter. or not.

  10 little known things tagged by lisadiva and antibabe:

1.) caviar was and still is my favorite snack
2.) I've written a book. I just haven't published it.
3.) I often put on jewelry and makeup and do my hair just before....going to bed.
4.) I'm about undies like most women are about shoes (no, i don't wear them on my feet)
5.) I used to be a very angry person.
6.) I have and still do seriously consider becoming a nun.
7.) I can't stand having body hair (arms, hands, toes; you name it. everything goes)
8.) I love love love old movies - even some of the silly silent films
9.) I don't throw people away. There are two people ever that I've decided aren't welcome in my life.
10. I'm terrified of buffets and bowling and will do anything to get out of going to either.

  has anybody else noticed that nowhere in the story of little red riding hood is she actually stated to have ridden anything? One wonders if it's another sexual allusion or if it's supposed to be evidence for her failure to dress appropriately; indicating a fundamentally silly and impractical nature.

if yer sick of girls talking about weight, tough shit.   
01:21pm 25/04/2007
  I'm still not satisfied. 93 pounds ago, i thought to myself, "Man, if i could just loose 10 pounds, maybe everything wouldn't be different, but i wouldn't obsess over what to wear to hide the flaws" That was a lie - i really thought shangri-la would turn up somewhere down the scale. And then i'd lose the ten pounds maybe even get some smaller clothes, rake in some compliments like a drug fix and still not be satisfied. So I'd rinse and repeat. Now I'm pretty sure shangri-la (perfect vision, a touch more charisma, the gift of gab-or at least the gift of not saying something stupid-, better taste in shoes, better income, the ability to play chess, do handyman things without caring about my hands getting dirty, being the first person people think to call when it's time to throw a party or go out) is not hiding in the remaining fat to be uncovered. I know it isn't. I know I need to do those things for myself.

Well, some things have changed. A lot of people talk to me now who never did say, 50 pounds ago. Not naming names. I'm not stupid or bitter; I know that's just natural - people being people. Strangers in public treat you differently. Well, everybody outside of your closest, least superficial friends treat you at least a skoshe differently, it gets easier and easier to find cute clothes, and the tropical heat is way less troublesome. But overall, no - life didn't get perfect as a direct result of my losing weight, and another ninety-three pounds wouldn't make a difference either. So if I'm not looking for shangri-la on my thighs anymore, why do i still measure time in pounds?

Just a sidenote - this isn't a post of morose-ness; just introspection. Life is good - I love my friends very much, just got a raise, doing well in school, getting registered for summer term, relationship is healthy, car is running great, and my pool game is improving. yay.

  Nothing is personal. How can that be?? True, really. even that guy who punched you in the face last week? he didn't punch YOU in the face. you just happen to have a shiner that makes you think he did.
And nothing, but NOTHING is about you, except maybe your autobiography. Nothing happens to you. You happen to be in the way. If you catch yourself wailing, "why does this happen to me?" you're suffering under a delusion. And even when it feels personal, it isn't.
And I've seen a rash lately of wailing and teeth gnashing and people bitchin' and moanin' and it's usually aimed at the people who love them the most. fuckin' frustrating to watch.
not that its any of my business.

  There are no diphthongs in swahili. Sounds dirty, doesn't it? And Mama is just a word of respect to a female. I'm gonna go wander around Kenya without yet enough swahili to order a beer and call everybody mama and see how far that gets me!

I've thought better of this. First, I will learn how to order beer - THEN the Mamaxpedition.

Lost Grandad
Mom got married
Moved back in with Mom (yeah, i'm the Mayor of coolsville)first cause we both needed family and now because I need the money to afford tuition.
Yup, started grad school in January. Someday I will be a Master cunning linguist. And after that, you'll have to call me that Doctor blanketyblank.
Lost more weight (yippee!)
Cat walked into my life and said, "Feed me now or I'll claw your face off" and her name is Troubles.
That's all the news that's fit to print. If you're close enough to want more details, you probably already have them.
I'm off to the Liberry.
