Polter-Cow, I don't live in the posh part of Berkeley, but I'll be looking for housemates in another month or two if you're open to houseshares. It's shaping up to be a pretty nice house and I'm only 5 blocks from Ashby BART. Also close to Berkeley Bow, the Berkeley Tool Library and Sunday Thai Temple breakfasts. And Lacis, but I think you're not one of the costume-y Bitches, are you? Urban Ore is a short bike ride away as well as the Scharffenberger Factory.

In completely random news, I'm watching "Last Holiday" (the Queen Latifah one) and there's this scene where Alicia Witt is just GORGEOUS. I don't know what color the dress she's wearing is--sort of a reddish brown? But with her hair and gorgeous skin, it's just BEAUTIFUL.

Yes! My cousins were watching that this weekend, and I just enjoyed the sight of Alicia Witt.

And oh my fucking Christ, I have to get out of this house. My uncle just went on a rampage yelling up a storm and smacking the hell out of my cousin. I don't need this.

I am listening to a three-minute rap about Moby Dick.

I said, "You took my leg and for that you must die"
I threw my spear and hit Moby in the eye
He charged the boat; it began to sink
I said, "How about that? Hubris really stinks"

Hrm. Interesting.

If you need to get out of where you are earlier, we might be able to work something out. I haven't looked for housemates yet since the house isn't really ready, but I'm fairly sure I could work something out if you were interested and if we both met and felt like we'd be good housemate material. Profile address is good.

P-C, I've known Spidra since TT days and can vouch for her easy-going goodness. Plus she's fun and interesting. It might not be the permanent solution for you, but it could definitely be the way to get out of a bad situation, even if it's temporary.

Hell, David, you've known me since *SFNet* days. Which is where I assume you developed your fondness for the Orbit Room... Thanks for letting folks know I'm not an axe-murderess. Can't wait 'til you and JZ move over to this side o' the Bay.

Gronk.

Gronklies.

I am so not awake. Must shower and go to class. Even though I feel very comfortable about the topics we're discussing today (circles and symmetry). I should still go.

Shower. Yup. Going. Now. See me go.

Gronk.

Woke up at 6:30 and couldn't get back to sleep. I made breakfast, and watched some TV, and still in that sort of "I should be asleep, but I'm not" state.

I'm trying to plan a trip to Vermont [well, I'm thinking about planning, which is the first step]

perks up

Hm! If this trip is a little more easy going than the last (what with the wedding and family madness and all) maybe, just maybe, I can get my ass up to Vermont (oh TWIST MY ARM) and spend a little more time at your bro's place...

hmmmm.

Many, many hairpats for Cindy and Plei.

hairpats in cindy's direction

I woke up and my body hurts too much to stay in bed. still very tired. hope to head to bedagain soon. no work again for me

OK, this is weird. I feel like I'm having an allergic reaction to something -- my lips and tongue are kind of itchy, and my lungs feel congested. But I have no idea what this could be reacting to. I just woke up, and I haven't eaten anything unusual yesterday or today. (Also, I'm fairly certain that my only food allergy is pineapple, which I know I haven't eaten.) But this keeps getting worse, and now my eyes are itchy too.

I think I'll take some Benadryl and see what happens. This is bothersome, though.
