Caring for Boyfriend
So, my bf had to have his appendix taken out. This happened last week while we were at our respective parents’ houses, and at the time he acted like it was no big deal. His parents pretty readily identified the problem (they are doctors) and they got him to the ER before it ruptured. He had a quick laproscopic surgery, and they released him back home within 48 hours. It all seemed pretty...
Finally Home
So, I spent the last week with my parents in Cincinnati. They moved there a couple years ago for my dad’s job, and away from the little town I had grown up in in North Carolina. So Cincinnati’s not my home. My parents love it, for the reasons one might love any city. Only, they’ve never lived in a city before, so they are convinced that Cincinnati is super awesome and special,...
This is my vacation: Arguing with my mom
My mom and I always argue over stupid shit. Partly because she sees any disagreement as a personal attack on her, and partly because I am totally incapable of letting anything pass without comment (and then doggedly defending my stance.)
Exhibit A: My mom says she’s going to buy my dad a steel wallet, because she saw some news story about people carrying around radio devices to steal your...
I hate coffee
I’ve just never liked coffee - the flavor and even the smell of it being made make me feel a bit ill. The only exception to this are those super sugary and flavored concoctions made by Starbucks and the like, which I like to think aren’t really coffee.
Except today, they’re proving that they are. I’d say I had about three today - white chocolate mochas - because the...
Gemstone Dispersion Chart →
One time on Jez someone commented in groupthink that they didn’t understand why rough, uncut diamond rings were so popular. I have no idea either. If you think about it, for gemstone purposes, the only really unique things about diamonds are their hardness and their high level of dispersion, or fire. Of course, with an uncut, unpolished diamond, you can’t see that fire, and it really...
Yay, I wiped out humanity!
But it took for-fucking-ever. Thanks, Madagascar.
The saddest/funniest part was all of the little ships bouncing around in the ocean after all of the ports were closed.

Can we stop claiming every awesome politician/artist/cartoon character as though we went on a vision quest in the wilderness and they appeared and showed us the essence of our being?
Really? Really? You people are aware that wearing war bonnets and bindis are appropriation, so how did this term slip under the racedar?
Dude. I did not realise that at all.

Sometimes I Hate Durham
Sometimes I hate living in Durham. My car just got broken into. This is the second time in about a year.
Last time they only broke one window. This time it’s two side windows and my windshield is fractured too.
What did they take? Two 6 packs of RBC soda. Seriously. Because I almost never keep anything in my car, because I know what this town can be like. And when I do leave stuff in the...
I can’t believe how shitty the beta version of the new Jezebel looks. It hurts my eyes.

As some of you may know, Westboro Baptist Church plans on picketing Elizabeth Edwards’ funeral in Raleigh tomorrow. Myself and some other people (hopefully a lot) will be showing up to stand between Westboro and the funeral, and try to block them if at all possible.
If you can come and show…

Kale, Potatoes, and Fakin' Bacon
I wonder if I can just throw them all together in a roasting pan for dinner.
I also got some Tallegio, which is the best stinky cheese ever, and baby bok choy.
And also some more of those goddamn addictive mini pitas.

treaties and bullshit
Right now everything in the world seems more appealing than studying for my international law final. Looking up random text from my Palaeography project for no reason? Filling out bits of grad school apps? Playing with my new extension hair that I can install until the weekend (it has tiger stripes!)? Yes to all of these things.
International Law makes my eyes glaze over. When I took the class I...
