i got one. I’ll probably never use it, just like I stopped using this.
also, I’m not following anyone and I can’t figure out how without adding them one at a time. sounds difficult.

A Summary

Meryl — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 18:24:44 +0000

of clues to my emotional well-being:

Said “I’m fine” upwards of 15 times in 3 days
Said “you couldn’t possibly understand” upwards of 8 times
Purchased new jeans. They make me look fat.
Purchased concert tickets that I swore I would for-go
Ate cookies for lunch today
Neglected to eat dinner the past two nights

People put up with this? Just one, actually. But it’s a trade-off.

This post is starting to make very little sense.

But here, I LOVE this song:

But I couldn’t decide between that and this one:

Hey, at least I didn’t post an Elliott Smith song.

Hot yoga

is DIFFICULT. I sweat myself into a puddle and was sliding all over the place on my mat when I noticed my water bottle sweating as well. SCREW YOU water bottle! You did not do any strenuous stretching to earn that sweat!

Just kidding, I love my water bottle. It was in the company of many many other trendy metal water bottles. Go figure.

class. Really hot black girl with fancy glasses, a really nice mac, hideous shoes, a WOW icon on her desk-top, a folder that says “e-mail mom” and Pride and Prejudice wallpaper. Third-grader’s backpack. She was flirting with the guy next to me who was wearing a nice scarf. For some reason I find her quite mysterious.

The news last week was really weird:
Octuplets
13-year-old father
Chimp attack
New York Post cartoon about the chimp attack:

Taking

the night off from homework. Drinking wine and watching the new episode of flight of the conchords, but mostly only because Michel Gondry directed it. RC said it was mediocre, but he’s easily underwhelmed.

I want to listen to the talking heads more. Here is an awesome video demonstrating that the awesome david byrne is the most awesome thing to come out of awesome arbutus:

evidently I’m also taking the night off from interesting blog posts.

In Brad’s Office

Meryl — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 19:56:09 +0000

today, on the 14th floor of a high-rise office building, among a zillion other high-rise office buildings, I was staring out the window (it’s a really good view) and there was a plastic bag blowing around. How the fuck did it get the whole way up there?

At work

Meryl — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 17:56:28 +0000

working? no. Finishing the homework I have that is due at 4:30? no. Playing Oregon Trail, really old-school version? yes.

Mouse is coming! And I’m going! This is very exciting for me. Both the DC and Baltimore shows are sold out. Duh.

I want to post more often because when I don’t post very much, I feel like I have to write something more important. Blogs can get away with occasional substantive posts or frequent tid-bit type ones, I think. I always saw myself as more of the second.

Just a few days until the best weekend ever. BINGO, Ben Folds, and our cocktail party. omg. woohoo.

Bird played in his socks last night so that he could work looping machines and pedals with his feet. Sarah and I agreed that he was a near-perfect specimen of tall, dark, handsome, xylaphone-playing, whistling, vintage-suit wearing, awkwardly skinny, violin-playing, slightly tortured wonderfulness. The show was beautiful.

In other, less-exciting news, I finally downloaded Antony and the Johnsons and found it over-hyped and pretty disappointing. duh.

I didn’t have to go into my internship today because of the snow. What snow?
I was already up so I decided to just be productive. I finished up knitting two hats, sent some e-mails, made breakfast, and got nothing remotely school-related done.
