i've been reading orhan pamuk's Snow. I picked it up just to have something easy to read on the bus, but now I'm completely enthralled with it. The writing is awful-- translated from Turkish-- but the characters are vibrant and unstrained. The book follows a journalist to the remote city of kars where he is trying to find out why young girls are committing suicide....

Today is boiling over. It must be spring fever. Everyone is nuts. I have more to do than I can manage. So I surf the web instead. take that, work.

I somehow overdrafted my account. My bank started charging me overdraft fees on the overdraft fees. It would be humorous if it weren't my money. I have been threatening to switch banks and now I...

The weekend was long and relaxing. I went running around and shopping all day Saturday. Then at night I went to a couple of bars. Sunday was a bit of recovery, but it was beautiful weather so I slept in the sun for a while.

Last night I went to my fav bar after work. Then I went to my next favorite bar for a glass of wine and food. Unfortunately, this was rather dull )ie. the staff sucked), so I went on to yet another restaurant and found a couple of my fav bartenders: justin & aaron. I ate some sort of pork shoulder sandwich and drank a "charlie...

Dirty fun weekend. I went to my favorite blues singer, Eddie 'the chief' Clearwater. I'm not a blues fan, but this ex-pimp from Chicago gets up on stage in a full indian headress and croons. Later, our posse went dancing. I'd had a few too many so when someone asked 'where's the afterbar' i somehow found my place volunteered. A gaggle of girls from the...

I'm hungover. Last night's best quote: "she's less succubus and more suck on the bus."

My ex is dating one of my friends. Of course they haven't told me, they just act awkward around me. This is retarded because I would think it was great they were dating-- they are a pretty good fit. But I don't understand why they couldn't have just let me know like adults. Instead now I feel they are both crummy and I don't want...

Yesterday I went with some co-workers for some Mexican food at lunch. Then I accidentally had enchiladas at dinner. Today I might switch to another cuisine. Lunch, for instance, might be a tuna sandwich.

Last night I continued to read Heidegger. It isn't terribly slow going but I do feel myself getting a little mired. I've been reading some secondary sources just to make sure...
