I officially unpacked the last box at my apartment!
Well, not really a box. It was a suitcase.
I’ve lived in this area of town for almost six months, and yet somehow there was a suitcase full of last minute things like photo albums, an extra pair of shoes, misc. papers, and a few of my shirts still left in my trunk.
I swear, it’s been sitting in there for three months.
My father so graciously gave me a printer out of the fleet that he has in his collection of all things computer related, so I found a place for the printer on the table at the end of my bed. I used the box to reorganize underneath my bed and then had room for everything in the suitcase in my trunk. So, I brought it in and unloaded it.
Last box.
I think I should throw a party.

It’s still raining seven hours later
Maybe the angels and devils are rinsing out their sinks
Or perhaps this is the leftovers of punishment
like the heel of a loaf of bread
that’s been sitting out on the table
since two.

college, con, list, pro, score, tests, today

I feel mostly bad about posting only complaining lists. And I also feel kind of weird about posting only happy and sunshiny lists. So today, my dear readers, I am going to do both.
Because I feel like it.
More after the jump.

1am, gerry mulligan, honey, jazz, tea
In Uncategorized on October 14, 2008 at 1:22 am
It’s 1am and I’m just now sitting down to write.
Today has been full of uncomfortable conversations and raw honesty.
I’ve got a pen, some notes I have to look over before tomorrow, and a mug of warm tea.
With honey in it.
I’m not usually the honey type. In fact, most of the time I put honey in my tea because I want to like it and then am reminded of why exactly I’m not a honey type.
But tonight, along with some Gerry Mulligan jazz, the gold glaze adds the taste of hope to my unintentionally under-steeped tea.

Holy cow. (Sacred beef!)
I was responding to an email from a friend about maybe getting coffee sometime this week. On the righthand side of the screen I see Gmail suggesting the following:
I had no idea Gmail could do that! I know some of the GTD calendar programs (Remember the Milk and I Want Sandy) can intelligently pick up events and dates from an email or text message, but I had no idea that Google implemented the same type of functionality.
That’s awesome.
Another round of kudos to Google.

Fifteen minutes into the Vice Presidential Debate I was texting a friend of mine. The ensuing conversation represents just why I love the debates this year so much.
“Are you watching the debate?”
“Yeah. No alchohol so no drinking game though.”
“No Obamashots? Darn.”
“Drink every time wall or main street is mentioned. Each time Palin says ‘McCain’ or Biden says ‘Obama’. Would already be plastered.”
