Things I did today
1. Memorized some lines,
2. Cooked again (more scrambled eggs, but this time with sauteed onions and mushrooms),
3. Hooked up my mom’s Netflix account to my Wii, which means I can watch internet TV on my TV. So, the best thing ever.

Mini-storage
Driving up Riverside Drive towards the storage place, bickering about this and that, having stopped off at a place in the neighborhood to buy 14 record boxes (to be filled at a later date);
Passing by the infamous “No Eating On The Floor” sign by the elevators;
Not finding the boxes of Beanie Babies and other toys we’d hoped to find in the storage unit and subsequently sell...

Dinner plans
Mom: What are you doing for dinner tonight? Dad and I are both out.
Me: Oh... I hadn't thought about it.
Mom: Well, there's leftover potatoes and Brussels sprouts in the fridge; maybe fry 'em up and scramble a few eggs?
Me: Huh. That doesn't sound to hard.

Today in Idleness
These days, I have a disproportionately large amount of free time. I’m working on it - but in the meantime, I try to do what I can to fill the days. There’s work sometimes, obviously. There’s a lot of internet usage, for sure. There’s reading and playing video games, and exercising and singing and writing. There’s meeting with friends, usually for a meal. Every now...

“It was a pleasure to burn.”
– Enigmatic, direct, grim. Another quality first sentence. (Though I have to say, between the manic pixie dream girl thing Clarisse has going for her, and the generally overwrought and cluttered sentence style Bradbury seems intent on using, I haven’t much enjoyed the first 30 pages.)

The take-away
I just spent a frustrating half hour trying to write one of those interesting and clever and introspective posts we all try to write sometimes. It was about going to Homecoming, disregarding the internet for a few days, having a great time doing it, and wanting to do more creative and people-oriented things in my life. But (surprise!) it sounded shallow and tired. So instead I’ll just take...

“Middle-aged woman on subway: black/white checkered peacoat, fishnets, shock of platinum and pink hair, arm in cast.”
So there’s that.

Bucolic Autumnal Splendor
Today, I left the city with some friends and went to Princeton, which is a totally beautiful town that desperately tries to pretend it’s not in New Jersey. And you know what? Today, it succeeded.
Shout-outs to: the delicious ice-cream parlor (amaretto ice cream WHAT); the horses, and goats, and wine-tasting, at the orchard; baking an apple pie; deer and red-tailed hawks in the backyard;...
