four glasses

I have a tendency to let empty water glasses linger in my room.

I just got back from having a late breakfast withy Stacy, my beloved boss/friend who is departing from Tufts to move on to bigger and better things. I had a quite tasty rum raisin scone, the frosting however, was a little too sweet for me. When I have a scone, I don't want something particulary sweet, kind of bready with a hint of sweet. That doesn't really make sense does it.

I've been listening to "Romeo and Juliet" by the Dire Straits on repeat now for the past to days. As has been pointed out to me, I become somewhat obsessive about certain songs, thinking they are brilliant and wonderful. It's not that I've never listened to the song before, but I get into little ruts like this.

I've also lost my T pass, which is disturbing to me. Luckily there isn't much left to July (not that I don't like July, I just don't like losing things). And now I feel guilty about getting on the T because I hate knowing that I could have gotten on it by just swiping a card.

In addition , I've cancelled my "Cutie" subscription (the japanese fashion magazing that comes with a free toy). I must cut down on expenses, and considering I don't read the language, I thought it might be good to stop this "extra". However, I found it very necessary to purchase this fun striped England shirt to celebrate by attatchment to the country. Such is my reasoning. But recently, I doubt my ability to be rational in my reasoning. oh well!

frozen milk


I just made dinner. I bought these veggie "chicken" cutlets which I had tried at Ricky's party....very tasty! Then I reallized while I was making them that I didn't want to eat them plain....so naturally they turned in fajitas. It was exciting, but it definetly needed a sauce. My milk always freezes in the fridge, why is this?

Work was really slow today, especially after 4:00....it was so dead! I bet everyone was out enjoying the weather and at the beach, I am very jealous! I made this pretty exciting green necklace at spark the other night. It is very loud and heavier than most necklaces i am used to, you can kind of see it in this picture...but it's blending in with my shirt.
I need a new knitting project very badly. I was thinking armwarmers for this upcoming fall/winter? I need suggestions...I certainly have enough scarves.
when I move into my new home I am going to simplifly. I will not bring so much stuff with me. I think I'd like to go with a light blue theme.

july 8th

I filled in for someone at nomad today- my first saturday working there. It wasn't that busy at all today- very dead in fact. I've come to understand that people just love talking on their phones very loudly in stores so that everyone can hear, in addition, people also like to stay on their phones while trying on clothes and while paying. Customers, please step outside if your call can not wait.

I waited for a half hour for the train to come- yes! I was being lazy and did not want to walk. Well, there was a man down there, clearly not all there, continuously repeating "I talked to conductor upstairs and he said that there is construction going on a charles street and that the train should be here in five to ten minutes....in five to ten minutes, it will be here shortly..."etc, I felt bad for him, but it was still kind of funny. I think he was autistic the way he was obsessing about 5 minutes, ten minutes, and then talking about how much he paid for his soda and where he could get it 5 cents cheaper....number repetition. Unfortunately, he also smelled bad. So, giving up on waiting for the train, I walked home, while directing another person towards davis.

Now, having sucessfully filled my stomach with a frozen dinner entree, being Amy's cheese enchiladas - I am quite satisfied. I even licked the sauce off the plate.

old bathroom wallpaper




We went to pick peas and water the tomatoes in Ellington, and I walked around taking pictures of the cracks in the basement, and also, the wall paper in the bathroom.
Well, my schedule has now changed quite a bit, I've lost some hours at the library, dropping to 12 versus the previous 17, how sad. And none of the hours are with my friend, who is moving from boston shortly. I might run over to spark later and see if it's too late to sign up for the class tonight....I've never used my free class yet, and I thought, why not tonight, before I move from the area and switch over to down town.

That's right, I'll be moving mid-August. I've temporarily had enough of apartment living....and when I went to try to find a new apartment, well, things in the area are not in great condition, and nevertheless, they are so expensive! So as not to disclose the exact place I shall be living, let's just say I found a great place in Beacon hill- yes, yes, a very nice place, which under most circumstances I would never be able to live in in my dreams. To put it simply, I am very excited. =)
