rent is duuuuuue.

It's that time of the month again! No, not menstrual time. That's right, RENT time! It's the first of the month, and I've got to scrounge up enough money to pay ye olde rente. Actually, I think I've got enough to pull it off and also have a little extra for spending money.

I just found out that there's a decent little Goodwill here in Dover, so I really need to check it out. Ever since I lost my favorite sweatshirt (doesn't ANYONE know where it is?!) I want a replacement.

new blog!

i finally have an excuse to start up another blog. not that it was terribly important to have a single one in the first place, but the new one will have a purpose, and that's a good feeling. writing this always feels a little aimless (jen, i think you're the only one who ever sees it anyway...basically it's just an ongoing letter to you).

the new one is for a class. the prof suggested we have a special place to put down musings on particular lines, maybe even words, in our reading. it won't be so much notes on the reading as thoughts on particular, isolated ideas or concepts within the reading. also, she said we could turn it into a blog, so i'll be doing just that. just in case you're interested in reading, i'm going to post the link here and in the profile of this blog. yip!

i'm back!

well, here i am, back in the seacoast region of lovely new hampshire and excited about the year ahead. the new apartment is adorable, and so far it's working out great. my roommate hasn't really lived here yet, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. she's moving in on monday, so that'll be nice. i hate being alone, it makes me fat. well, it makes me engage in very fatty behavior, like eating a lot out of boredom. but speaking of weight-loss, i am again turning a new leaf! i'm online right now trying to find a good dover bike trail, but not seeing one, after lunch i'm going to make one up myself and just get out there and ride. it's a beautiful day and i really could use the exercise. i might also go to the gym. then, weight watchers will begin next week, and i'll be on the right track again! i feel good. k.c. inspired me with his 35 pound weight-shed, so i'm pretty stoked. gotta go!

life update

first, papers: 1 down, 1 to go. i am closish to finishing the second. i'm on the seventh page single spaced...it needs to be ten. so, it's getting there. i can't wait for the double-space moment (even though i know i could just double it...meaning i have about 13 pages at the moment...still, it feels so good when you finally see the number).

second, bike: holy shit, so not easy to ride. it is WARPED, which means it makes it really hard to balance the bike when someone is riding on the back. i think i have to bring it in for a tune up. i do not know how much that will cost, but i bet it isn't going to be cheap. but! it'll be worth it, because even though it was scary, it was still really fun.

third, new favorite song: Paper Planes, by M.I.A.. can't stop listening to it!

umm

i wish this paper would just write itself.


gotta go!


this paper ain't gonna write itself...
