i just realized, that even though i am not currently planning an entire redesign for my site (though i really should be), it is in desperate need of an overhaul. so much of what's up here is either out of date or not entirely accurate anymore. perhaps later.

memories...
music: melotron - der anfang mood: hung over
earlier, i was trying to find a photo that would show how i used to look back when i had black hair, piercings and no eyebrows. i think these nailed it.

maintenance issues
music: (ever notice that i never have music on when i'm updating this?) mood: silly
so tell me why it is that it always seems as though the apartment *I* happen to be living in is the one where the door is crooked, the holes in the door for the deadbolt are either not aligned or are stripped on the inside? lol. don't get me wrong, i love my apartment, and it's mostly perfect... but seriously, when it comes to shit like this, it never fails. something is always wrong. on the way home from class yesterday, i stopped at the store to get a plate to fit over the outside of the deadbolt i put in when i move in (that's a story in itself). i looked through what they had and they all looked the same. i was also told that they were a standard size. i figured 'fine' but i knew i'd have trouble. haha. i was right. instead of it taking me five to ten minutes to perform this simple task, it took forever... i had to use a hammer to knock the bolts into place (and even then i only managed to get two out of the four to fit right) and it took me about an hour to do this crap. *sigh* i think someone should just replace the door to my apartment (along with the rest of the doors in the building) due to over painting and warping. lol.

the plague
music: my ticking clock mood: could i possibly be feeling ok?
oh dear... i think i've spent the better of 48 hours in bed; and not with someone else, mind you. just being sick and trying to get healthy. however, i believe it's actually done some good since i think i'm feeling better. i haven't sneezed or coughed all night (at least not in a significant way) and i think that a little tea and OJ will do the trick now. even though i am sad i didn't end up going to portland, i am glad that i'm feeling an imporvement. at this point, though, i think i need to get out of the house and do something. but since it's somewhere below freezing out there, i believe i will be heading to the gym, since lying/sitting in bed for so long has made me feel like the ultimate couch potato. lol.

changes
music: server hum mood: excited
last night i did something nice for myself. i'm thinking i should have done it a long time ago... but i suppose that i didn't really have to opportunity until a few days ago to really look into it. i mean, i could have gone out and found it myself. but without references i really would not have know if i had made the correct choice or not. not sure where this will take me, but i'm sure that i shall enjoy it a lot.
i will keep you posted.

LOL
music: cell phone ringing mood: not sure yet
for amusement, i decided to open a piece of spam i just received (yes, i know, always a good idea) and this is what it said:
i mean, i understand most of the words in it even though they're connected to each other, but wtf?

club goodness
music: AC noises mood: sleepy
so it looks like albion was a good idea after all. i guess going there with no expectations is the only way to go about it. i managed to run into a few people i was definitely not expecting to see there and one of the photographers i'm supposed to be shooting with at the end of the month. the funniest thing was that when i ran into liz (another person i was not expecting to see) early in the evening, i was reminded of our infamous night at the club, when all hell broke loose (and we went to party with some people at the hotel penn after a drunken night at the club)... we were talking about people niether one of us has seen in ages, and how we missed them etc - only to run into the one i wanted to see most by the end of the night.
yes, i'm good at getting myself into trouble, and i usually end up having fun. the same can be said for last night. today, although feeling like ass, i am a slightly happier dina. i wonder how long it's going to last.
...now, if i could only find todd to kick his ass for leaving such a huge mark on my neck. LOL.

occupying my time...
music: people yapping mood: amused
so as mentioned in my previous entry, yesterday was the first day of a new semester for me. i honestly don't really feel any closer to finishing this since i am only taking two classes a semester, which leaves me with about ten (or so) more to go. the classes i am taking are rather on the silly side (all web based stuff that i am familiar with), but will help me move on to the stuff i wanna do. so they are needed, i guess. after class was over (early - at about 9pm), i headed downtown to hang out with todd, who is here in town for his upcoming LBV reunion party. i haven't seen him in a while and the guy has mellowed out. what a change! lol. there was food, drinks and a movie involved... until it got seriously late and i went home to crash. my sister went home yesterday, once again leaving me all the room i need to sleep in my yummy bed. i will miss her, but i love having my space.
no idea what's coming later today. i think i might hit up home depot, looking for some interesting ideas for upcoming shoots and whatnot. we shall see.
