lunch

lunch tomorrow with Eric at noon downwtown. YAY.

Shakespeare!

I just watched the first "Shakespeare Uncovered" with Ethan Hawke talking about MacBeth. It just totally inspired me to read more Shakespeare. Time to bust out the Collected Works. Now I'm going to watch the one about women in the comedies. I know they're going to talk about Twelfth Night, which I loved, so it should be fun!

I want...

Maybe I can earn enough money to go see La Boheme this season. I very much want to see that. I got called about a temp job allegedly starting tomorrow, but within an hour of hearing of possibility, the client canceled.

FAR from what I want it to be--I just started it--but I thought it would be fun to do this idea... Nicole's Bite-size News

Pretty!

What beautiful weather today! What in the world caused it to be so warm? I saw the weather forecast in the cab last night, but I figured it must be for some other city or something! It makes me happy! Rain is always good!

Decent night

The only thing in my way tonight was what was going on in my mind. I cause myself so much stress; it' like my mind just wants something to preoccupy it. Maybe I should study philosophy or something.

Mindfully Meditated

I just did the Jon Kabat Zinn mindfulness body scan from YouTube. I definitely feel relaxed. I have a hard time with body scans because it's hard to breathe in from and out from particular parts of my body. Anyway, now I need to think about what to have for dinner because I'm getting hungry.

Wow, I'm a horrendous bowler.

Bowling and Pizza Party!

because we're about eight years old. Starting at six because we're 80 years old.

Emotional Intelligence and Overall I.Q.

Here, read a short article.

I'M LOSING MY PERSPICACITY!!

nap

I wasn't feeling well, so I fell asleep. I had two dreams, or one, that involved making up songs. One of them was this girl singing in French, and I don't really know French, so I didn't know any of the words, but it's stuck in my head (maybe it's a real song??) The other one had auto-tune (can't I have any taste in my dreams?) and involved them screaming over and over "ARAPAHOE!" What the hecK?

I'm feeling a little down today.

MORE!

I want more. more more more.

Five Dollars

I got a $5.00 Amazon gift card for filling out a 30-second survey for DePaul. I just spent it on an mp3 album. I haven't bought any music in a while. Hurray for free stuff!

Monday @ 2:00 and Tuesday @ 4

Interview with temp agency on Monday, and interview on Tuesday for permanent position

Yippee!

That word just isn't used often enough. I got a phone interview tomorrow at 1:00. I think it's an interview. Less pay than I want, but more than I make now!

Ice Cream!

That was the highlight of this immensely boring day. I woke up way too late and haven't felt like doing anything. It makes me feel restless and full of regret.

The problem with feeling insecure

I felt weird last night and debated not going out. I went and it didn't work out. Then I felt disappointed. Then, it makes me hesitate to go out again because I don't want to feel rejected or awkward. All this when nothing even happened.

Kind of hurt feelings

I wish I didn't get hurt so easily sometimes.

All in all...

that was kind of a disappointing evening.

Left to my own devices

There's nothing like a little imagination

Plan B

Don't go out. That endeavor was pointless. Stay home.

I pet a snake today!

That was fun. he was squishy. I was totally at the mall.

Hi!

After tomorrow I'll have made $56 doing simple jobs online...not the 'fake job' work-from-home gig. That one hasn't been panning out since the holidays. Maybe soon I'll have something interesting to say or post, but I am happy about making a little money, so that's worth something! I'm also happy that I heard from my cousin! It's like she's made of sunshine; she's so positive; I love it!

Little online jobs

Well, hey, I've made $20 with about 30 minutes of easy work today. If I can keep doing that until I get a job, that will help.

possible drinking game

there should maybe be a drinking game for how many times articles about economics use the term "Keynesian". Only, that would be like the most boring drinking game ever...

Elitist or something?

I wish things would stop being dumbed down to the level of the lowest common denominator. There, I said it. postscript: well, maybe I should rephrase. It's fine to explain things such that anyone can understand, but I just don't think we should CATER to the lowest common denominator by changing things based on lack of knowledge.

Vocabulary

I just learned that 'cwm' is a word. "World English Dictionary cwm (kuːm) — n 1. (in Wales) a valley 2. geology another name for cirque"

cocoon of sickness

I have ventured outside of my bed in order to make soup. It feels cold. Oh so cold. That is all.
