i found it at the south hadley olde tag sale-e on a beautiful sunny, hot-up the back of my jeanjacket may day. as adam described it, "fat things trying to sit in the shade."

we realized that once we have even three peso to rub together, we will be decorating the entire apartment with things like old bedpans and rusty turkish cigarette tins.

he bought a beautiful, spooky child's piano. it really does look like one of those clock-chime dollhouse "plays by itself when the wind is right" sort of things.

the best thing ever was a stand of what seemed to be old junky trunks. i opened a small, peat green minitrunk and saw an array of mysteriouslydecayed packets, and then realized it was a real WWII first aid kit. with boxed-up boric acid and curious little glass jars. for teeth? i have no idea.

but it's one of the coolest things i've ever seen. it's a thinker. how did it come back? why? was it ever really in Europe, on a beach, or just a memento from the Gainsville base?

i bought it for ten dollars.

a foine foine mornin' in baseball hats smoking the first one on the porch to you all!

good morning in baseball hats to you all

well i knew it would happen someday.

standing on the porch, keeping my keen and wary eyes peeled on an especially fat spider silhoutted in the moonlight and hanging from the porch ceiling, and sort of humming "Wembley" to myself, thinking about how adam's tan suede jacket maybe should be willed to me...

i brought the lighter to my face and almost LIT MY NOSE ON FIRE.

..not even the wrong end of the cigarette, i was just merrily going to set my own honker ablaze.

in my defense, it's been a bad day. we drove back down to providence so i could print out my mannerism paper and slip it under the art dept. door, and the computer printer in my building was "closed due to exams." I mean, i can appreciate this, but i also think that exams is when the highest volume of papers must be printed, and thus this is a major inconvenience.

kinkos is the devil. just like in that gwyneth paltrow "rainforests are the DE-VILL...we got to kill the DE-VIL..." skit. every 30seconds a popup reminds you your money is ticking away, which slows things down. it cost almost 20 bucks to spellcheck and print my document. thinking to expedite matters, the college computer lab was the next stop. two "failed D drives" later, one unplugged and pirated electric socket, one Mac which kept spitting out my CD like a bad fig, and one manual half-hour TRANSCRIPTION of my bibliography, and i almost got my fingers stapled in this giant automatic space age stapling device.

luckily we went to the bar directly after.

and, i'm done with college.


and some older pictures i haven't posted yet

i posted that a few days ago, but i think i buried it in an entry pretty immediately. can anyone tell i am a borderline red-green obsessive??

so i realized after seeing my set go up that i forgot to include a bunch from the session. and since i'm not really going to use them anywhere else, i thought i'd post 'em up here, for some reason the mypics uploadr wasn't working for me, so lots of little linkies.

weeee, les extras!
maybe someday i'll add 'em to my candids or something. or send them as christmas cards to grandma. heehee.
also, i didn't have a lot of face shots. i'm not sure why i failed to include those. sometimes i am strange?

i can eat a whole column of ritz crackers at one sitting!

fun fact 2:
when i was 14, my host family in this little french village had a crazy son who made me break into a 12th century chateau which was being renovated with them (aka big stone pieces of it were falling off like dandruff.)

oh, those wacky francais!!

living in oblivion: where do the dream sequences end and the narrative begin?? catherine keener=vying with parker posey for the title of queen o' the b-flicks. and finally, at long last, a romantic leading man role for steve "i-have-a-strange-fascination-with-his-teeth" buscemi. !!!

weee. today i'm a-going to ride the scooter all by myself. what's more, i finally got a helmet that fits, so the ride will not be undergone in the vise of extreme melon-headed pain. yayyyy.

and, apparently some funster on the brown daily jolt saw my stuff here and intends to start some sort of controversy. all i have to say is: uh, well, here's mud in your eye. although it's a little early for cocktails.

heehee.

jayyyyssssusss.

define the meaning of "irony":

the one day in about three months i DON'T check to see who the new SG is, it's lil' old me.

you guys are all the best. thank you for your nice nice comments. this site has such a good feeling about it, it makes me truly happy i joined! nothing makes a gal feel comfy gettin' nekkies like the SG members. foo sheezee!

/end mushy love rant

edit: godDAYUMN, but my room is a messy 'un. heh, i almost feel sort of apologetic, too, about not including a slightly more hardcore couple of shots. i sent 'em in before i was a member, so i didn;t really know what the "industry standard" was for levels of nude-escence....heehee.
