I wish I could go to California. I'm so bored and lonely here without Melody. You'd think between working 30 hours a week and going to school I wouldn't have time to feel this way. I tried taking Nosy out for a run but he seems kind of down too. Like he has picked the mood up from me. It reminds me of that episode...

Next week Melody is going to California for 3 months. Her grandma has been sick and Melody and her mom are going to take care of her for a while to give her aunt a break. I understand why she needs to go but I am really going to miss her. We haven't been apart for more than a few days since we first started...

Yeah, any dog jumping is bad, but it's worse when the dog is more than thirty pounds.
I have not shaved or had a haircut in 3 months. This is my first time letting my beard grow. It's pretty patchy & scraggly. My hair is pretty wild too. I don't think it's a good look for me but Melody seems to like it. She thinks I look like Lenny Kravitz. I think I look more like a wino.

good luck - i'm in my late thirties and i'm still struggling with it.

Thanks sweety! 



I can't sleep again, so I am watching a George Carlin special. I think it was his last one. Pretty damn funny. I think he may have been the funniest man ever. Although I suppose I have not heard everyone. 
So tired.

Thank you.
How are you?

otoki:
Meh. I just never cared that much if I pissed off some inconsiderate pricks.
I can't figure out how to post videos. 
I guess I can just post a link.
Anyway, I made Pho for my girlfriend and my mom using the recipe in this video:

It was so delicious. It even looked perfect. Not bad considering I know nothing about cooking. The guy in the video is kind of boring but it was really easy to follow...

Oh, I get what he was trying to do. I was just remarking that, even being aware of that, the word is really jarring to me each time a read it. And it puts me in a bad mood, not towards Twain, but the people who thought this way and STILL think this way. He did a great job making his position clear with Pap Finn's rant.
naty:
yes, juliet Lewis have a band 

I have to get ready to go to work in about an hour. Then classes, back to work and then a night class. Somewhere in there I have to study and I should go to the gym. And I have not slept yet. Not that I didn't try. I gave up after laying there for about 2 hours. It seems like the more sleep I...

I swear you told me before, but what are you going for again?
sonic_tooth:
Man, I've been super busy like that too lately. And not sleeping! I know what you mean. And then I find myself wanting to pass out during class. Yay, school/work/life....?
This is my life right now: work, school, internet, chores, walk my dog, sleep. Once in a while a little time with my girl Melody. But not much. Both the work and the school just started up again after a brief break and I'm not used to the grind yet.
So tired.
I don't normally make resolutions but I think one thing I am going...

I actually found a lot of my textbooks for super cheap (as in $1). It's tiring to do, but I just make charts comparing UMN new book prices, used prices, amazon new prices (because you get free shipping over $25) and amazon used prices. I also tried looking at B&N's website but I've never found enough of a price difference compared to amazon for it to be worth it, even with my membership discount.
ckdexterhaven:
It's actually a cover of a song by Bread. I haven't heard the original.
I believe my account is about to expire. I probably won't be back til next summer. It has been a blast being here again. Thanks so much for making me feel welcome again and for the kind words and friendship you have offered. You will all be missed.
