the waiting game

My brother got an amazing camera two months ago. The kind of camera that takes REAL professional pictures. The kind that costs mucho; so mucho, I think it would be inappropriate to disclose. Anywho. I want it.

This is my plan. I wait, until he gets tired of the camera. THEN I casually mention how the second-hand camera that he gave me after buying his new nifty one isn't working. This may or may not be a lie. I wait patiently as to give the illusion that I am innocent and not a professional moocher.

After 3 years of waiting, I will act surprised when he gives it to me.

hospital room

I've lived in this room for 6 months. It still looks like a hospital/boy's dorm room. I need COLOR, life and pizazz.

Hopefully I will be able to record the progression of my room from this into something hipster cool.



Today, I managed to accomplish some of my new fall loves. I went to trader joes and got mulling spice for future mulled cider/wine. (I'm scared I'll hate it) I listened to motown with homework and batted the hell out of some softballs. Now, there is wine.

on my way

So I bought one of these for my apartment. According to Cassie, my room smells like I just did laundry, which is the dream.



I am now on the way in becoming a YUPPIE.

As of yet, I have accomplished the following-
1) Worked towards a Graduate degree
2) Developed unnecessary/stupid phobias
3) Become disgruntled at lackluster service (I use to be SO patient and understanding.)
4) Established a morning ritual of drinking coffee while reading food blogs
5) Cultivated an interest in current events and NPR

I do not submit willingly as I've successfully fought off the urge to buy Toms.
My struggle continues . . .

Another Sunday-hayyy

At the moment, its freakin cold.

This weather evokes memories from last fall. shitty memories.

In the name of self-preservation I hope to re-associate dreary weather with positive things such as...
- motown jams, a favorite of mi padre.
- batting cages- a better stress reliever than yoga.
- netflix instant queue-on the list: jaws, syriana, wall street, godfather?
- hot coffee (maybe mulled cider/wine?)
- sleeping in hoodies and pj pantaloons
- zinfandel and other big red wines
- new slow cooker recipes
- cassie's butternut squash turkmen-dumplings
- a fake christmas tree with lights already attached. last year's fresh tree was such a pain in the ass.
AND....PUMPKIN CARVING!

Last night, David and I went to go see Hal Sparks at the Brea Improv. He was pretty freaking funny and said some poignant things. I respect that he made light of religion in a tasteful and thoughtful manner. YET, when he reached the topic of Christianity, someone just had to boo. I understand that religion may be so ingrained in someone's identity to the point where any critique can be interpreted as an attack. What I don't understand is the adamant refusal to acknowledge discrepancies or contradictions. Especially, when the existence of which does not undercut the legitimacy of your beliefs. It's a bit narrow-minded, no? At the very least, don't boo-you look stupid.

mmmm ok. see ya lates :)
