  • Me too. Meet Elise, who is having a really super long, and not incredibly exciting day.  HOWEVER, she has a extra special feeling that something very promising and good is going to happen.  And no — This is not a post where I already know the good thing and am just not able to share…

  • Woke up at 7:15 with a good, fabulous even, feeling about my relationship with Paul. Tried the Cinnamon Dolce Latte from Starbucks.  Love it. Went to Target, Michael’s and a Scrapbook Store. 40% off everything at the scrapbook store. Wandered around Paper Source. Bought an "E" stamp. Gym, Lunch. Good Beginning.

  • Hi, Hi. Google interview today.  Over the phone.  But until then…laying in bed, shopping online for shoes and desks. Cool Stuff: The Apple iPhone.  I want it. For Cingular users first.  Costs $600.  I have the right plan, just not the right cash. Donate to Darfur.  Sara sent this to me.  Awesome website, amazing idea.…

  • Do you see Art?  To you see Love?  Do you see Rabbit Carcasses? This photogram, by Adam Fuss, is all of the above.  I, of course, am totally enthralled.  In high school photography, making a photogram meant cutting a shape out of cardstock, placing on top of photography paper and exposing it.  The really creative…

  • I went to a class in the USC School of Fine Arts this morning. The table I sat at had spray paint on it.  The room was messy.  The professor had a streak of pink hair.  When she passed out the syllabus, she said, "Okay, welcome to Advanced Physics."  I like her a lot. I…

  • Sat down today in my Strategic Management Class, my last ever business course and the last class I need to graduate, and was immediately reminded why Business School has messed up my life.  Chatter.  Everywhere.  About who interned where, and who has a job where, and how so-and-so has started working for Ernst, Chuck, Tabitha,…

  • I am not sure.  But if they do, then Duffy is there now. She died last night.  Mom told her it was "okay to go."  And she went. We miss you, little one.  Much more, I think, than we thought we would. You are loved.

  • Ali encouraged readers of her blog to "identify a word for 2007." And so, I decided to choose a word. And I went around and around and settled on STRENGTH. To me, this word means so many things.  I want to live a stronger life.  Which means greater strength of character, stronger relationships, development of…

  • Yesterday I bought eggpress Christmas cards.  Because they were 75% off and cute.  And then I realized that next year I will be more or less on my own and will be sending out Christmas cards. And then I panicked because I do not have all the addresses I need and because I hate my…

  • Opened the mailbox to find a card from Veronica. A good card from Veronica. And even more delightful than the card design were the words written inside: "i absolutely can’t wait for spring to start." Going to be a bright final semester.
