magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

it's much too humid. but, my body is sort of sending conflicting messages about it. in a way i'm kinda enjoying it. because it reminds me of china, i think. my mind's actually been returning to china fairly regularly as of late. there are some similarities in the weather, but i've spent some hot and humid summers in new england too. i think it has more to do with the fact that i've spent six months here. that's longer than i've really lived anywhere in a while. i am moving in a week, so i'm not feeling the desire to move, but that desire is there, and is manifesting in a longing for the furthest i've ever gone. or that's one theory, anyway.

speaking of moving, i got email from er!n yesterday. she's moved back to connecticut after three weeks in boston. hearing that, the first thing that came to mind was: has it really been three weeks since i've spoken to her? the speed at which time seems to flow appears to be accelerating as i get closer to the end of this texas phase of things. that's not altogether bad, but there are things i'll miss here, and they're speeding away.

i went out this morning to do some banking via atm, and when i got back there was a message form my mom on the answering machine. i forgot that it was mothers' day when i called her back, so happy mothers' day, mom. i was gonna send an email card, but she's having major computer problems.

i also went out today to exchange a book, and to buy some food, but it was basically a quiet day. not bad for a sunday though.
