These posts are just inane, but I promised to write one a day, and I’d like to at least pretend to stick with it. At the moment, I’m sick and dirty and smelly and brain dead because becoming even mildly sick with a cold or flu seems to drain my body of the will to [...]

Uterus again. Stupid, stupid uterus.
But beautiful, beautiful House and Big Bang Theory. Made my night.
Sick to my throat and nose. Gonna get kicked out of the DMC lab soon. Haven’t got any reading or homework done.

But if I did I would’ve hoarded my money like I used to. Save all this ridiculous amount of spending money my parents give me when they shouldn’t because we don’t have this much money. We really don’t. But I just keep spending it anyways. On anything and everything.
Or I should’ve just gotten a job [...]

Yesterday was an odd but beautiful sort of day: the kind of day that I look for everyday but if I got it would make my life much more interesting than I could possibly handle. It started with an afternoon expedition to the Sakura Matsuri Festival on Penn Ave under the imminent threat of rain. [...]

In this year of 2008, we have reached the beginning of a new spring, with bird song and blossoming plants serving as apprehensively viewed harbingers of the season. The wind holds a promise of change but all one must do to ignore this call is to hide in the depths of a cave of one’s [...]
