Marcel
I am going to see this dog later on in the week - schnauzer/poodle mix and so cute. Plus his name is Marcel [think Proust]…perhaps the most perfect name I could think of.
blind
I broke my glass twice last week - both times due to falling asleep with them on - and now I am forced to live a blurry existence until Tuesday. This could not have come at a more annoying time - my last midterm is due on Monday and I can’t read without getting a pounding headache. Does anyone want to be my surrogate reader? Compensation can be in the form of home cooked meals or beer. You...
Martha’s Vineyard is beautiful in the fall and surprisingly warm (sunny and 60 degrees as opposed to low 50s and rain in New York).

Happy Ending
dearoldlove:
I’m so glad it didn’t work out the way I wanted it to.
After class I was still so hopped up on coffee and adderall that I just couldn’t go straight home. I had been invited to a lykke li cmj show but decided that I needed to wander around and get some fresh air. I headed over to strand and spent an hour and a half perusing the anthropology, sociology and philosophy books. I walked out of the store (the best bookstore in new york for those of you...
I AM DONE WITH MY MIDTERM WITH AN HOUR UNTIL CLASS STARTS
too bad its the worst thing i’ve ever done and that it counts for about half of my grade…
I bid farewell to pondering the change from an oral to a literate to a post-literate society. you will be missed, kind of, well no not really at all. well maybe a little but not enough to want to write another ridiculously long essay on...
