I just used a chili mix that expired exactly one...
I’d already cut up two whole tomatoes, and rinsed out some black beans, before I checked.
If I’m not on here in two days’ time… well, goodbye then.

A posting on the student listserve:
“I left my bike at the Art Building for a few days and it went missing. If you borrowed it to get across campus that is totally cool, however I am hoping to get it back sometime soon.”
This is my school in two sentences.
Once, a friend of mine had his bike stolen on campus at my alma mater. About a week later, he was walking up...
Clusterphobia.
It’s a real thing.
Not something to be laughed at, YOU.

That’s LOCATIONS. Lesotho, Ohio, California, Argentina, Iceland, Oklahoma, Netherlands, Sudan. I do it to stay mentally sharp and also because I was subjected to a childhood full of my dad randomly saying a state’s name to me in the middle of a conversation, and I was supposed to answer with the…

Law & Order: Criminal Intent is really just background noise for what you really want to do with your spare time.
For Helen, that’s sharing a blanket and a box of mallomars and watching Animalympics.

“That’ll be $10. I just made your fucking dreams come true.”
– Maggie, after we officially met my Cup a Joe boyfriend Juan. Before tonight, we just referred to him as that 30-something guy who sometimes bathes and always wears the same green plaid jacket and hat.

Song for Alison.
It’s her favorite.

I feel like someone punched me in the face underwater.

Neurotic thought of the day
The guy who works here all the time and is always too-creepy-for-comfort nice to everyone (not the owner, Mike) is sitting, off-work, in the table across from me.
You work here, dude! All the time! Go home! Stop drinking that espresso! Stop reading that book! Go back to sleep! Hi, my name is Alison!

Woke up this morning at 5:30 feeling like, "what?"
But it’s actually not so bad. And I’m only just now (7:30) having my first sip of caffeine.
There will be a crash later, but now it’s all wooWOO vanilla latte, bluberry scone wooWOO old people-watching in Global Village.
The thing is, I just looked at the syllabus for the class whose two assignments I woke up ungodly early for, and while I’ve got to do the presentation,...
Holy shirts and pants, my hair smells like smoke.
But Cup a Joe is smoke-free.
How did this happen?
I washed it right before I left.
The thing that hurts most, though, is that I also blow-dried it.
“What was that internship my dad told me about freshman year? It wasn’t at...”

Maybe the bank robber will come and save me the agony of writing this paper and presentation.

Decisions to make, addictions to break.
Me: maggie i want to go to CAJ but the BANK ROBBER is over near there! i don't want to get shot but i need my coffee!!!
Maggie: It seems getting shot would be a small price to pay.

Too bad we live two blocks from “the area.” Oops!

The things my grandparents discuss.
Sarah: [getting too invested in the Olympics' speed racing] Look John, he just keeps going over that line.
John: You should go in there and call them and see why he's allowed to do that.
Sarah: I do not like that plastic overlay on the Canadians, it looks like it adds so much weight --
John: Well, stop watching it if you're just gonna complain about their outfits --
Sarah: and it does not look comfortable for them.
John: the whole time.
Sarah: I don't like it.
John: I'm turning it back to golf.

A new proposal for the history curriculum in North Carolina public schools is causing uproar. Among the biggest concerns is covering U.S. history only from 1877 to the present in the 11th grade. (via)

“oh you know, straight up balling at the end of a movie where frederico garcia...”
– Alison, in an email.
I had no idea what she meant by this and spent all morning trying to figure it out. I am not cultured enough to know who Frederico Garcia Lorca is. And — “straight up balling?” Alison doesn’t typically use such slang.
I consulted Jessica, and she surmised that Alison...

Let the record show
that the Internet I’m stealing from my grandparents’ neighbors’ house across the street is better than the Internet we get billed for every month.
Well, it happened.
pangea:
I overslept this morning for the first time this semester — woke up at 7:30 and had to be at work by 8.
I made it on time, but I really hope everyone can overlook the fact that I look like the dirty kid at school.
I am truly sorry about that.
I wore the same thing today that I did yesterday.
And no, I don’t care.
