i’m hoping for a drunken snowball fight sometime tonight. hellooooooo, massachusetts.
EVERY 30 gig Zune died last night →
OMIGOSH, that is silly. this will be sad if my little ol’ zune is dead. i left it back in tx. i guess i’ll find out tomorrow night. since i wasn’t in love with it, i won’t be too sad, i suppose.
maybe this is more reason to get an iphone for my “entertainment on the go” needs?

e: seriously tho, why so much marriage?
me: wtf, i dont even have a boy to actually crush on. fuck.

by certain people.
but then my dear OC is always like, hey! you should come to this! he’s such a nice, helpful boy.
blah. work. woohoo.
because traveling is always a series of...
i arrived late this evening to check in at my hotel because i spent the evening with a 7 year old (and some others) watching peter pan and eating pizza and talking about the duck pond.
i just went to use the loo and wash my hands and FUCK if the sink didn’t leak all over the floor. OF COURSE. i’m already pantsless and ready to crash. i don’t feel like changing rooms right now. i...
i should not have mentioned the 'potential layoff'...
now everytime i tell her about the things i want she says, flora, what about your job? or why don’t you wait until february or march? or how about next summer?
blah. i hate when people are so logical about things. especially in an economic recession. i think my job is fine. it should be considering all the shite i’ve got going on. but still, the warning is out there on the table,...
in other news
i have been suffering heat stroke since arriving at logan at 1130 this morning.
it freaks me out when i get on the hertz bus and instead of dumb car rental commercials the driver has the radio tuned to cnn news. and that the first news i hear after being offline (flying) for 6 hours is about increased airstrikes.
and now i have to sit at my desk and work.
flying back to boston now
i’m tired and i have a hectic afternoon on schedule. monday mornings after vacations are oh so lovely.
looking forward to a quick nap and a bout of productivity on this flight. fingers crossed.
sunday niiiiight
just started packing when i realized, i should probs pack a fun outfit. because nye is on wednesday. but. BUT.
i still don’t really have any plans, that i know of. i know i will be in boston. i know it will be cold. otherwise… um. i probably should have talked to my friends a bit more this week. house party? bar? did someone decide on something?
blah. i will find out tomorrow night...
i have listened to a lot of bjork in the past...
“wow, flora! you’re wearing your hair down. i like it! you should wear it...”
– advice from my priest on how to catch a man, recieved today as we were leaving mass. he is ridiculous and awesome.
other church boy news - there is this guy in the choir that i think is hot and he looks like this guy. i could easily ask for an introduction but that would be weird so instead i peep...
this is the soundtrack to the most romantic...
i am like my grandpa and he is like me
as i have been sick the past few days, i’ve taken on some of gramps’ habits. i have been carrying around tissues in the front pocket of my shirts. i don’t think i’ve ever made frequent use of my shirt pockets until this week. they are quite convenient when being sickly on the go.
when i was 3 or 4 i would always ask my mom for “cooks” instead of cookies. to...
“To be even be considered a tastemaker in any small sense is a great compliment...”
– things i bought that i love
everytime i read mindy’s blog i think, we should hang and go shopping together.
i like my flannel
mom: i'm going with you
me: what? i can go by myself.
mom: doesn't matter, i'm coming.
me: what if i was going out with friends after?
mom: dressed as a lumberjack?
ugh
i feel/look like shite. this sickness needs to depart immediately.
sadness
my vacation ends tomorrow and monday morning i have to get on a plane at 530a and fly back up to the artic circle, aka boston.
i know i have nye and a small weekend at home to look forward to, but my brain is already in 2009. and january is going to be a wicked long month. eek.
i'm ick
it is not so wonderful to go to bed on christmas night with a sore throat and slightly stuffy nose only to wake up with a full on sick feeling all over and a hacking cough.
at least i’m home for a couple more days and my mommy is babying me and already scheduled a doctor’s appointment for this afternoon.
blah. being sick sucks.
