got back to school yesterday. at 5 am. yeah, after leaving my house at 4 pm. fun shit.

i had a rather adventurous time at the airport. besides the whole taxi driver not having money to split a 100 (after he told me he did) and the credit card machine not working thing, being delayed for five hours and having the gate to my plane changed three times as i spilled my soda all over myself, and the insane new yorker who kept following me around ranting about how much laguardia sucks, the rest will go in comic form





yeah. i hate travelling.

i will say tho that the chicago midway airport is awesome on the sole fact that there is real grumman f4f wildcat hanging from the ceiling.

on a lighter note though, the weakerthan's new album is awesome.

this is me enjoying my delicious bahn mi that i got in chinatown today with friends. a fucking foot long, delicious sandwhich for three bucks <33 i am in looove.

afterwards, my friend took me and another friend of mine to the elizabeth centre... which was kinda like this underground japanese/anime mall. i couldn't help it when i saw this. i really couldn't. i begged to borrow money and bought it.



today was fun. : D my room mate moved out a few days ago, so... dunno what's up with that. but i'm going home tomorrow and am psyched. i miss my family. and my bed.

....mostly my bed.

I'M A FINALIST

I'M GOING TO MIAMI

WOOOOOOOOOO

moo

today i got a letter in the mail from my dad. part of the back of the envelope looked like this:



my dad often sends me stuff like this... evelopes stuffed with little doodles, farside calendar pages, weird news articles and sports scores.

my dad is awesome.

i went to speak to the department chair about changing my major today. got it approved, but i'm still anxious all the same.

frankly... i just want this year to be over. i don't know what it is about school that makes me so uptight and downbeat, but i wish that it would get better. even being in new york can't seem to compensate. whether i'm in high school or in college, it's still the same old crap. childish assignments that will never help you, worthless lectures that involve showing videos instead of an actual professor...

i don't know. all of this money is going into this "education," and yet all of this i could easily do on my own.

yeah, there's my typical angst.

hm. i've started reading more again. this school year for some reason i have barely read anything at all... with the exception of english assignments. i'm not sure why, but it probably has something to do with my current mood. but whatever, the point is that i'm reading again.

i got a few plays by stephen adly guirgis, and i quite enjoy what i've read by him so far. i love the vibe that young playwrights like him and adam rapp write into their plays. they truely capture the feelings and grittiness of the typical life of a new yorker... which reminds me that i've been wanting to check out some off-off broadway stuff. despite the stagehand strikes, there are still quite a few plays showing and i'm planning on catching one soon enough.

apparently the last days of judas iscariot is being preformed again next year before i leave for the summer...

besides that, i'm also reading the perks of being a wallflower.

nothing else to say, i guess.

finished.



and... the sva bus has purple wheels. i don't know why the hell this amuses me so much

last week was really busy, to say the least. two major essays, midterm, homework, halloween, phoenix wright 3 blah blah blah

for halloween my friend kat and i went to the halloween parade in the village. it was my first time, and it pretty much reminded me of a more mellow halloween-esque mardi gras. lots of slutty girls dancing and pole dancing on jail bars, dancing girls with massive bongs and weed everywhere, and a really hilarious dude dressed up as a borat in his green thong.

this was prolly the best conversation i heard of the evening:

woman: (to a police officer about borat) are you just going to let him GET AWAY WITH THAT?? DO SOMETHING ABOUT HIM
officer: get a hold of yourself, woman. it's halloween! he can do whatever the hell he wants!

besides that, it was cold and crowded.

...next year i'll go an hour early. so i don't have to try to stand on a garbage can to see.
