damn, scary go round is getting scary again. http://www.scarygoround.com/ there was definitely a ho hum period, but it's over now. the easter rabbit is coming to get me. but it's not really the easter rabbit... not sure if that makes it more or less scary. |

bacon chocolate: possibly as good as bacon ice cream. if it didn't cost seven fucking dollars, i would probably buy it all the time. |

ALSO there is some sort of field trip going on in the art dept, where they're busing students into the city for a measely 6 hours for $15 on saturday. saturday will be the FOURTH day of this sample sale, aka slim pickings. is lunch in the city + a sample sale with slim pickings worth $15???

it's a less flattering angle from the photo series that brought you Aurora in Every Pamphlet. also, they changed the color of my shirt from assaulting red to pasty blue.

i'm not gonna lie, today was long and upsetting. my initial instinct was to watch queer as folk until my woes melted away, but people who aren't me (and probably me too) had other things to do. so i was all "*humph* i'm going home" only to find: chelsea playing katamari damacy on my ps2!
conclusion: 1) chelsea is good at video games. 2) playing wii-sports with chelsea is a great mood picker-upper, even if it is death for my back. |

i bostoned it up for a few days and here are my impressions: 1. i didn't know you could call it "beantown." 2. boston's actually quite nice in the summer (ie: when it's warm enough to leave the house) 3. i could never live there due to intense yankee hatred 4. much smaller than i thought it was, but still tiring on the legs 5. i know so many people in boston :-O 6. t stops are farther apart than i expected. ie: walking 2 stops on the red line can take forev's 7. boston might be some sort of ice cream capital of the universe. i did not have time to try it all. 8. cars in boston will stop for you even when they have the right of way. not that they won't yell at you about it. 9. even though robert g. lives there, there is no fossil store in boston. shocking. 10. boston is all about many small boats in a pond.
all in all, i had a sweet time, but, as always, it's good to be home.
ps. speaking of fossil, i've bought myself an awesome man-watch, and a tiny wallet. huzzah! |

after months of lying to myself, i've finally come to accept the fact that my bank account cannot handle the wii. no longer will i fantasize about playing mario party in park house's living room. i'm going to stop myself from playfully winking at the system as i pass by gamestop's window. i've shed my single tear. it's over. |

| Four Bad Experiences involving Scrabble |
|

Four Bad Experiences involving Scrabble:
1. I'm playing a close game with Gus. The bag is out of tiles and he's only down by a few points. After spending nearly half an hour scrutinizing the board and his tiles he goes out with his last few letters and declares himself the winner. Only, he is not. He had carefully counted tiles on the board and determined that I must have an H, worth 4 points, which would be subtracted from my final score and added to his, winning him the game. I do not, however, because the game is missing the H (!) and some other additional tile (!!) (we counted). I had only two points in my hand, and therefore won the game, but it will forever be tainted, as will my board - though I eventually found the H, the other unknown, but probably 1-point letter is still M.I.A.
2. I'm playing a game for fun against my cousin, Mckeea. Even though we are not keeping score, I was extremely hesitant to play without a dictionary. She convinces me to through persistant badgering, and I agree, on the condition that no one tries any phonies. Knowingly or not, she tries at least 3 different phonies, boo. Then! I put down EF to make some other word that I now forget, and she claims that EF is not a word. I know that EF is a word, but cannot prove it due to the lack of a dictionary (noooo). My own father backs up Mckeea saying that EF should really be spelled EFF (the letter F can be spelled both ways, thank-you-very-much). I am forced to take a good word off the board. Horrible!
3. Playing a game with Karen at Sympathy for the Kettle, one of us is stuck with the Q and nowhere to place it. A British lady kindly butts in and informs us that QI has just officially been added to the Scrabble dictionary to create the first two-letter Q word. Whoever has the Q uses this to their advantage and I continue to use it in later games as inside knowledge until Tammy calls me out on it, and I look it up to find (gasp) it's not actually a word. That lying slut. I later find out, while reading Word Freak, a Scrabble book Will lent me, that QI is a word in the British Scrabble dictionary but not the American one. KI, the alternative version of the word, is not in the American dictionary either. Pissy.
4. At the age of 10ish I play like a whiner and it haunts me for the rest of my life. I fussed until my father and opa agreed not to challenge a false word if I put it down, at which point I bingoed. The shame. |
