it is officially cold, my friends.
and i am officially loving it.
i need to invest in some warmer clothes, though.

seems like there was so much i wanted to write about last night, but now i'm at a loss...
my dog, buffy, is getting her tumors removed...that's exciting. (reference barley post)

i think i'm recovering a bit from the rut of this semester...or maybe the rut of the past year. don't get me wrong, i'm still miserably behind, but i'm being resasonable about what i can accomplish on a daily basis and trying to make that happen. i think i failed my judaism test yesterday....and i mean it. sometimes i say that...with hope...this time it's for sure.

my vehicle has no heat.

(at this point i'm just typing random things to pass time before my next class...so if you don't have the time for such nonsense i reccomend that you stop reading...Now. seriously)

things that scare me:

sponges--nasty little things

wind chimes--i think i associate them with that old movie, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle.

raw meat, esp. chicken--when i go to the grocery store i put those plastic bag things on my hands like gloves before even touching the packages...i'm not joking.

when someone pops his or her back-- don't know why.

talking to boys-- yep can't help it...scares me to death...i'm working on it, though..:)

leather jackets--?

dirty key boards-- like the one i'm typing on right now....ugh..greasy and yuck. think of all the germs...also scared of gas pumps for the same reason.



still obsessed with brandi carlile...i love the entire cd...no exceptions...and that doesn't happen very often.
i was thinking the other day that when i tell people that i love the counting crows they probably think i'm referring to their radio stuff--wrong--actually that's my least favorite of their music...the cd's are far better. if you haven't listened to some of their less mainstream stuff, you should.

i hate when i love songs but don't know who sings them.
like at work we play these mixes all the time, but i have no idea who sings them.
sometimes i can google them...sometimes there's a list in the back office but it doesn't clarify what is what....
work has played some good things here lately:

Tegan and Sara
the arcade fire
matt wertz
and some more stuff i can't remember right now.
(dang, there's one dude, what's his name?)

anyway..
this post has been completely pointless....pretty much.

oh!
so, i do believe that i am prone to live in houses with leaks.
all last year i lived in a room with a terrible leak in the closet.
the noise would keep me up at night....it molded...
i didn't have anywhere to store things.
the landlord never fixed the problem...they jut kept patching it up and then it would leak through again....
twice they told me it was fixed when they had only patched it and it leaked through on all my clothes....all my stuff....that was ALL last year.
anyway....told myself that at least this year we wouldn't have to deal with anything like that....i even told patty that the people that moved into our house were probably getting a little leak action during all of this rainy weather...and we laughed....
ha.
next day.
leak in the hallway...right outside my door....it's actually dripping off my door...crazy.
mabye our landlords will fix it this time...they seem more active than our last ones...who knows.

okay. time for class.
