All Apart
A quest to get my shit together by exposing just how apart it really is.Archive for April, 2007
Thursday April 5, 2007
First, the excuse. I had kind of a horrible and traumatic start to the week, so I didn’t update. Since no one reads this, it doesn’t matter; EXCEPT that I’m letting myself down, and I’m so very disappointed.
Anyway.
Thursday was a relatively uneventful but still enjoyable day.
Woke up early, had breakfast/coffee and was at school by about 9:00. I had intended to go at around 8:00, but, well, I didn’t. I needed more coffee. Went to the library and sat at a shitty carrel for 45 minutes before realizing that I had to swipe my student card if I wanted to get into the Law-Students-Only reading room.
Prepared (last minute!) for my presentation in animal law, then went to class and presented. Went pretty well.
Came home for lunch and started watching “The Most Hated Family in America” with D. Exerted considerable willpower in tearing myself away from the bigotry in order to go to class, but when I got there, class appeared to have been cancelled, so I came back home, and we finished watching. Scary! Compelling!
Made a test recipe for vegan caesar salad and ate that for dinner before heading off to class. Class was boring.
Came back home and was convinced to go out to the Black Dog, despite having no money. D promised me breakfast the next morning and fun times. He more or less delivered, even though he spent too much time playing darts.
Came home (brought drunk friend G), ordered ‘za, and ate it while watching Mythbusters online.

Woke up and made plans to have brunch with friends. Sat in bed with D and read the paper and drank OJ for a while. Then got up, got dressed, and went for brunch at Lucky. A good time had by all.
Came home and had some “quality time” with D and then watched an episode of Futurama. Dicked around for a while and read 170 pages of a book I got out of the public library telling me how to (essentially) get over the bullshit from my childhood. It’s quite good, even though it is a cheesy self help kind of book.
Did some cleaning and had a shower (major accomplishment!). D came home, and I somehow have forgotten what happened between about 7:00 and 9:30. I do know I watched a bunch of movie trailers and stuff online and talked to my NYC friend. Joined a book club that is going to read The God Delusion.
Watched some Futurama in bed and passed the fuck out.

I’m also adding a new feature to the blog (for my own benefit). I’m now going to write down every penny I spend every day.

Woke up early, despite going to bed late. Made some breakfast, packed poor, tired D a lunch, and headed to the farmer’s market. It was snowing, but listening to This American Life helped a great deal. Picked up some monster tomatoes, some basil, some bread, and some jam.
Decided to hit up the public library on the way home (since I don’t have enough reading to do already) and got my library card up and running again (unfortunately had to pay old library fines of $24). Got out some cool movies and a bunch of lame self-help books and a Dan Clowes pictographic novel (that’s a comic, kids).
Came home and unpacked stuff and tidied up.
Watched “Some Like It Hot” while flipping through library books. Went to Safeway for some staple goods and came home to make some soup and cupcakes for D’s return home from a hard day at work. Ate, watched some Family Guy with D and then read for a while.
Fought with D, went to Safeway AGAIN to get cat food, came back, and climbed into bed to watch documentary about Day of the Dead. Slept. Got woken up at 2:00 by frat idiots next door.
