scored a great b&b room in old city, phila. no snow, but it’s freeeeezing.
update: staying in philly for new year’s. avoiding the new england storm.
Need new year’s advice. Any parties around?
playing dice in phila. losing.
Phase 4: brooklyn back to phila. this time in a real car.
nyc is alllllll fog today
Phase 3: philly back to brooklyn. The bus is stuffy & the sky is grey.
i kind of miss the drama of the car accident/sleeping in a friendly stranger’s house, now that it’s over. now it’s reruns at my aunt’s apt.
Just got in 3-car pileup in philly on black ice. But OK!
Lost in the hills & emptiness of central PA. With my mother, in a blue Kia.
Phase two travel: brooklyn to phila. Hoping to see more deers in the woods by the highway.
You know what’s booty? New Jersey.
Needless to say, the Philly bus is full of strangers laughing with each other <tears>
bimbimbopping in brooklyn.
Trucks packed like sugarcubes behind the GW bridge
phase one travel: boston to brooklyn. points to megabus for free wifi.
japanese film before the hell that is holiday travel…
ryry is ripping it up @ the paradise this evening…
just discovered Cheers reruns on channel 38 at midnight. it’s like walking backwards into my childhood.
not at all tired. ready to ROCK. and by rock i mean wrap xmas presents and maybe eat some prunes.
don’t know what to do with myself without deadlines. minus those pesky fellowship deadlines. is christmas a deadline? is dinner?
i just gave in & bought the new ani album, half to celebrate academic freedom, half because it’s supposed to be 90s-esque, which aint true
i mapped out primary texts on construction paper and embedded a mobile photo of their networked citations into my paper. eat it!
official tally: 85% done The Final Paper. with still a few hours of daylight.
13 hours later, i have annotated 20 sources. am hoping for a burst of paper inspiration over breakfast.
cookies + choc croissant + grilled cheese + chips + cookies + celery + yogurt = puke. and i am 3% done my paper.
Write huge paper or…go to MFA? It’s museum Sunday!
our weird new hdtv has hacked into the neighbor’s cable. tonight: indiana jones.
can’t. focus. on this massive paper. at all.
majority of my web hits come from people googling “impacted canine” or “sideways tooth”. at least i’m niche.
A phantom toothache? Could it be?
compromising with 12 pages only… shooting for more than 4 hours of sleep tonight, dang it.
feeling quite resentful about late night classes. resentful enough to, um, fall asleep.
cookies & prunes & broccoli for dinner: not optimal.
so much pesticide on my stop & shop celery my tongue is literally numb.
fighting the urge to compulsively purchase messenger bags & compulsively bake cookies. and be compulsive.
omg, savin hill dog, stop stop stop stop barking 15 feet from my window. stop it stop it stop it
spontaneous period of academic productivity pierced by intense hunger. no more cookies!
mentally in spain today.
