i get 'red skies at night' in my head at least once a day

clickin' = enlargin'. this is in front of my school.

i am gaspingly unmotivated. all i want to do is be with him. everything else is a time-consuming, thuddingly dull distraction.

i have spent this rare sunny friday doing laundry. three loads on one washer/dryer. the downstairs neighbor is playing his music loudly. i skipped class yesterday (to my credit, i was feeling like shit; it wasn't completely due to lackadasia) and finished "you'll never nanny in this town again" whilst sprawled on the floor of the odious chain bookstore. i needed to give my brain a rest (even though i've already read "sTORItelling" and "tatum o'neal: a paper life" in the shamefully recent past). it is lurid and name-droppy- quite fascinating, really. i have newfound respect for danny devito and rhea perlman.

my coworker's daughter showed off her preemie daughter at work last night- 9 days old, 7 weeks early, out of the hospital after a week of being tube fed and attached to a ventilator. we could only look, not touch. i had never seen such a small human before. as of yesterday she weighed 4lbs 6oz. her head was the size of a navel orange. we all cooed politely, as wenches do, until her daughter and the baby left and my coworker said "i call her 'the grub'."
the tv was on in the break room at work last night, showing the late-night news. i was tuning it out, reading the springsteen article in rolling stone. but when i heard "president obama" i looked up at the screen and immediately grinned.
