I really am losing time.
Where did my October and Sepetember archives vanish to?
*a few minutes and clicks later*
Republished site and found them.
Also discovered that I can email updates to anyone who wants them. Drop me an e-line if you do. What I really want is comments...
And Carney's House Party for X-mas.

Like Sands Through An Hour Glass...
I used the elliptical machine at the gym this weekend. I have not used this at UCLA seeing as how they have only a handful and there is always a long wait for them. It is Thanksgiving weekend, however, so I saw an emtpy one on Saturday and snagged it. I made this discovery as I entered in my program information. I automatically typed in 22 for age. Why? I think the last time I used this machine regularly, I was 22. Time seems to be eluding me. All is well, though, for being 24 is infinitely better than being 22. Well, it is at least better by 2.

When I Grow Up, I Wanna Work at Alfalfa's...
Criminy, what I wouldn't give for bulk spices.
Want to see In America.

I went to see Michael Moore this weekend. First off, I had lots of warm fuzzy memories as I walked up to Royce Hall, as when lit at night it fairly resembles Macky. Inside the building the floors are tiled in large black and white tiles and the ceilings are high and vaulted with warm Tutoresque wooden paneling. There is also a beautiful veranda overlooking campus. The insides of the the theater are golden as opposed to Macky's rosy hue. The ceiling is comprised of intiricate blue and gold tiles. The seats are honey-colored wood upolstered in golden-brown fabric. The stage is bookended with two pillars. The theater walls are brick and the way they light the inside, it feels as though you are outside.
Interesting musing by Mr. Moore:
Would the Revolutionary War have been effective if it was the French who had come over to try to liberate us from Britain?
Overall his tone was critical of liberals, calling for a Democratic leader who will make strong, unwavering decisisions.
One thing I learned:
In a game he played called "Stump the Yanks" Americans were unable to determine the number of Canadian provinces. In my own count, I also came up short, so I looked up a Canadian map yesterday. Apparently, the Northwest Territory was split into two provinces in 1999, of which I had no idea! I should really look at a globe more often. As should all Americans as, according to National Geographic, 85% of Americans aged 18-25 cannot locate Iraq on a map. Moore complained that there should be a rule that America cannot bomb any country that they cannot find on a map. 60% could not find the UK. 10% could not find the US. Hence the title of his new book, Dude, Where's My Country?
Oh! I am so exited because Ira Glass and They Might Be Giants are coming to Royce Hall in April. Bliss!
That is all.

Just Say Yes...
Sometimes I just want to thank my lucky stars that I live in an age where we can use chemicals to control the state of the human mind.
Usually I avoid painkillers and so I forget that two little salmon-colored candies lie between agony and ecstasy. In short, my frown was turned upside today, not by the power of my own mind, but by a potent and delicate mixture of C's, H's, and O's. Does this make me a weaker person? Maybe. By being weaker, however, I will accomplish more. Thusly, is our society swapping internal strength for external strength? Discuss among yourselves.

My breath froze as I walked to school this morning. Bliss!
So marooned have I been on study island that they have installed a new swipe machine at the rec center.
Note: Somehow lost my Bruin Card between Rec Center and Lab.

Look at all the dancy movies:
You Got Served: Reverse Bring It On for boys.
Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights: Dirty Dancing in Cuba, well obviously. It has that girl for I Capture The Castle, though.
And I save the best for last!
THE COMPANY: Whee!

Indeed
Put all the Faerie Tales you heard as a kid
together and what do you get? Into the Woods.
Each person has their own story and their own
quest but they somehow come together. You're
intelligent and wordy while still being clever.
What Broadway Musical Are You?

Bless Me Father For I Have Sinned
It has been inumberable days since my last confession. I am coveting my neighbor's laptop. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Goat.

Ach! Someone must be the biggest procrastinator known to man-kind and that someone is me. I just turned in my NSF application with exactly 5 minutues to spare. Would have liked the luxury of one last read-through but, alas, that privilage belongs to those diligent students out there. Not the likes of me. I hear Tokyo Fast Food calling my name.
I have been wearing nail polish on my toe nails for well over a year now. I decided to let them "breathe" a spell and removed the sky blue I recently applied for my Halloween costume. I am so used to the polish that my toes look positively naked without them. Like I am embarrased by them. Like I look down at my flip-flopped foot with my blurry near-sighted eyes and cry, "Ye Gods, my toe nails have fallen off!" Is it toe nail or toenail or toe-nail? Good question...
I think Matrix Revolution comes out today. Still haven't seen Reloaded. Just as well. One less temptation.
Well, I am off to finish my fellowship essays! If you don't hear from me in a week, send chocolate.

Opened one of those trick-or-treat bags I got on Halloween and discovered oyster crackers. Loose oyster crackers swimming among the Hersey's kisses and hard candies.
I am so sorry, dear, neglected blog. I have been really Busy (with a capital B) and have not updated you as much as I should.
I guess you should all know that He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named has been fired from the co-op kitchen. While I feel I have rarely looked on him with an admiring light, I am sorry that he was fired. Why was he fired? I do not know and think it shall remain one of those co-op mysteries like why they installed the front gate and then always leave it open. Why do I feel sorry? Ah, this question is much easier to answer.
This is the co-op. To be fired by the co-op, must a truly humiliating experiance because, simply, it is the co-op. I am not sure I can convey this to those of you who have not lived there. I love it (to a moderate extent), but it is, afterall, the co-op.
So in honor of this auspicious occasion, I will relate one last story and then lay HWSNBN to rest.
A few weeks ago, he went on a tongs-in-the-beans kick. You see, there are always red kidney beans in the salad bar with a serving spoon. The beans are small and slippery so a large spoon is the most appropriate vessel for carrying beans from the salad bar to one's actual salad. But he was forever telling us to put tongs in the beans. Anyone who has ever tried to pick up red kidney beans with a pair of togs will realize the ridiculous in this scenario. But he said that tongs would deter people from taking to many beans and save money. TO MANY BEANS? How can someone take to many beans? Does the phrase CHEAP AS BEANS mean anything to him? Beans cost like $.75 a can, and I know the co-op buys those large Costco sized cans. What next? A lettuce limit, a celery cap? (That was a fab pun thank you very much) I think working the salad bar angle is not going to save to many dollars and cents.
But then again, hardly something one is fired for.

Destiny thy name is seasoned seaweed.
Yikes! I just was looking for an old resume on my zip disk and found some of the most horrendous essays and letters known to Katie-kind. Tis gruesome.
