magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

so the idea was to get up and go to the studio this morning. but that didn't happen. seeing a movie last night that started after midnight didn't help. i prolly should've tried to go to the 930 with jen and amie. but it was nice hanging out with noy, even though we're both in the architecture building, we're on different floors and i never see her.

and so i didn't set my alarm this morning, and woke up a number of times but didn't get out of bed until 1130. left my room about 1215 in search of bagels. and after that, went looking for the comic book store that's a mile or two down hope street. it was a nice day to be out walking. the comic book store wasn't very good though.

i picked up the last two issues of cerebus. there's still four others that i've missed since i left texas. i wanted to read the new ones, but i kinda want to read them in order. not doing so is liking skipping chapters in a novel.

didn't get a whole lot done in the library this afternoon. i've had all these good ideas for the final design project, but when i sat down and tried to sketch, they had gone off and hid in some dark corner of my mind. i really need a little tape recorder to carry around at all times. i did read a couple more chapters of mason & dixon.

i had to take a break at one point and go get a bottle of water from my room. i've been really dehydrated the last couple of days. i have no idea why.

i got a salad and piece of fruit for 20¢ by complaining to the cashier that even though i should be paying half as much as everyone else since i'm vegan, all the things i do eat are weighed (pasta, salads, sandwiches) and i end up paying more. i think i'm going to have to write a letter to someone in charge. it's absurd that i should run out of money with the most expensive meal plan, less than 3/4 of the way through the semester.

there were two parties that i wanted to go to tonight. which is really kinda weird. 'cause i don't have too many friends, and am not really into parties to begin with. but it was cybèle's birthday party with a band even, and an "art party" at dave, zanetta, and yuka's. they were planning some sort of group art project that they were being all mysterious about.

ended up going to cybèle's party. got the invitation about a week earlier. and it was her birthday party. and jay had spent all this time planning it and i hadn't seen her at all this semester. and zanetta came too, so i'm not sure anything really happened with their party.

the band was their upstairs neighbors. the fabulous itchies. rockabilly, old-school surf punk sorta stuff. and pretty good. they didn't play for all that long though, 'cause the cops kept driving by.

then we hung out outside for a bit, and came back about one. alex.h had been talking about going to a karaoke bar but that didn't happen.
