"all the pictures are still on the shelf & you're barely making rent by yourself. your mom is worried for your health..."

[ "Subway Home" - Casiotone for the Painfully Alone ]

it's been bitter cold out a bit as of late. today it's 36F though, so that's certainly a nice break. it's pretty sunny too! :) thank you, Hashem.

i went to dinner with my parents last night to a lovely little vietnamese restaurant of sorts. i forget what i ordered let alone pronounce it, but it was nommy.

as of late, i find myself listening to a lot of Cat Power, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, and the Mountain Goats. really excellent stuff, perfect for winter when you stare at the snow fall outside the window and the skies grow dim while it's still in the early evening with a nice glass of bourbon or somesuch and a book. and a pipe, perhaps.. wearing a robe and slippers. like some aging, retired oxford professor.

been spending most of my free time (protip note to self: "free time". two words. not one.) working on a gift for nik but i keep thinking of things i want to add to it! i'll be sure to get some photos up when i'm finished (if i ever do!) and i don't want to ruin the surprise! but i keep wondering if she'd like X or should i do Y instead, etc.

my appetite hasn't been what it normally is as of late. i'm not sure why, but i've just not been hungry. i hope i'm not sick!
but baruch Hashem, i'm getting my daily bread.

at work and my brain isn't in tip-top shape so that's all i've for now. :)

    That title seems strangely prophetic to me considering what happened when I told my parents about God's plan for me. Oh man.

    Vietnamese is delicious, though. And I can't wait for my present! =)

  2. aww man. they didn't receive it with the joy i experienced when i heard it, i'm guessing.

    i'd like to hear more about that if you'd like to share more.

    vietnamese is, in fact, QUITE delicious. it's a scientific fact. i had vermicelli noodles with beef and etc. and it was really yummy ("nommy"- root word omnomnom) and i had iced coconut milk with coconut meat at the bottom of it (coconut meat is the white solid part on the inside that they use on donuts and stuff). and of COURSE there was the tea.
    SO. GOODDDDD.

    and i'm working on it every day! pretty hardcore! i think i'll have it finished by weds. i made myself an ultimatum and said "okay, only do this, this, and this, and then you need to stop" but if you'd like to send it back once in a while i can add a little more each time! :) it'd be like a sisterhood of the traveling pants. only completely different.
