i’m fighting the clock on this cold or whatever it is to keep it from turning into another sinus infection. my face is swollen, throat swollen, nose is dripping a beautiful mixture of blood and snot. having multiple surgeries on my sinuses and removing my tonsils to maybe fix this issue is starting to sound like a fair deal. thanks to a beaucoup of theraflu, i’m not feeling too bad though.

woke up early, drank a cup of coffee and went back to bed for another couple of hours.
met up with the lovely aubrey at sunflower market later, wandered around for what had to be at least an hour studying everything and eating all the samples. we had lunch at rePUBlic - i’d never been, but i’m now hooked - and i fell in love with wyders pear cider. i could drink it all day long....

Five NBA games on Christmas!
The NBA will open the 2011-12 season on Christmas, but not with the triple-header that David Stern himself said during the end-of-the-lockout press conference. Instead, there will be a five-game set with one on TNT, two on ABC and two on ESPN, according to the New York Times. Times, all Eastern, would be noon, 2:30, 5:00, 8:00 and 10:30. Last season the NBA had five games on Christmas with...

It’s only seventy-one degrees in here but I’m freezing under this blanket I stole, I can’t stop smoking hookah until my brain feels as if it’s floating around in my skull and I can’t stand straight and I feel as if I will just pass out, everything reminds me of him, from taking showers to the ice cream in my freezer to the old truck I pass parked in front of those apartments nearly daily and...

it's the sound of the unlocking and the lift away
driving late at night on empty streets with lovely music, black tea and the icy air slipping through the open window while the surrounding world sleeps is one of the only places where my mind is calm. everything slows to a near halt; it’s not simply a matter of thoughts flowing smoothly, but the lack of most anything other than simple observations: a bold moon, the curvature of the road,...

the sun's well on its way, too soon to know
i’ve spent this-evening: watching new girl, drinking excessive amounts of tazo zen tea, working on a philosophy thesis, twirling around in my new little black dress, baking a lasagna, reading the steve jobs biography, trying to fight off another headache, nursing my permanently sore throat.
i have shared an unnamed disease with my granny from birth, and quite honestly, it’s just...
