music: the AC in the office is loud mood: impatient
well... after mostly taking their time, some of my professors finally decided to post grades. i got three out of five and so far there are two A's and one A+.
not too bad =)
edit: make that three A's and an A+. now if the last professor will post my grade, i'll be all set =D

soon to be chilly
music: sheep on drugs - uberman mood: dirty
holy crap! i actually put my AC in. when i got my first mosquito bite, i knew it was time.
however, i don't think anyone can possibly understand the lengths to which i had to go in order to do this... since i had not lived here the previous year and had not had to put an AC in here before, i was not completely aware of the actual task. i had to take some bars out of the window, which was mostly easy to do. all but one of the screws came right out. the last one was in so tight and was completely stripped. i think it took me about 45 minutes to finally convince it to some out with the help of a pair of pliers. sheesh.
then i had to move two not-so-insignificant pieces of furniture to be able to actually get the damn thing in the window.
anyway, it's done. i'm dirty but soon i will be nice and comfy =)

memorial day - continued.
music: ehud banai - ir miklat mood: okie
yesterday was absolutely amazing!
i woke up relatively early and headed over to adam and nicole's, as planned. before getting to actually go inside, nicole said we had to go out and get a strainer for our 'project.' so i met her outside and we ran around a bit in the heat. eventually we did find what we were looking for. yay!
nicole and i got to the baking right away, while adam was still sleeping. we did a rather fine job of it, and we all headed out to brooklyn. on the way to coney island, we stopped somewhere to meet a friend of nicole's (who's name escapes me at the moment) and had a beer at a local bar. once we all drank and peed (the most important part of that expedition), we continued on our way out to the edge of the world. the first thing we did when we got there was stand on one of the 9028769782756 lines at nathan's. we weren't going to be out at coney island without experiencing that. the line was forever long, but while we were standing there, we all suddenly felt the brownies doing what they were meant to do. boy did they ever! heh.
once the food was purchased, we just wandered around trying to eat without drowning in all the condiments. it was not an easy task, i tell you. with that accomplished, we headed right to the cyclone. now, i've been to coney island plenty of times. hell, i even lived in walking distance for a while (ugh!)... but i had never bothered with the cyclone. mostly because i don't trust wooden roller coasters. but i was fucked up, and i wasn't not going to go on! i have to say that it was the best experience, of any kind, that i've had in a really long time. yea, it was that much fun =) after the cyclone, we decided that dante's inferno was a good idea. it was so fucking cool! old school haunted house! no one makes them like that anymore =( i have a few pictures i took outside, which i will post when i get unlazy. heh. after that, we headed over to some crazy-ass mixing cups kind of thingie. it's called the 'break dancer', and it kicked my ass! i think it pretty much kicked all of our asses. lol. i couldn't stand straight after that. it was so incredibly fast, and so long - that if it had gone on any longer, i would have found myself getting sick on a ride for the first time in my life. haha!
anyway, we were going to head over to the ferris wheel to calm down, but it started thundering and lightening. so not only was it a bad idea to be up so high in a metal contraption, but we also knew it was going to rain. we decided to head back before it started coming down, and before everyone and their mom started a mad rush to the subway to get out of the rain. we almost made it. it started raining on our way there. cops headed into the station, anticipating the rush, and let everyone in without having to pay the fare. heh.
on our way back i decided that i really just had to go home to sleep the rest of it off. cuz it was still getting stronger. yes, nicole and i did a wonderful job =D
today i met up with sandra after work for foods and drinks. she is one of the few people i wish i could take with me when i leave (adam and nicole are two more of those)... *sigh*
now i'm sitting here, transferring music from some cds to my ipod, which is still more than half empty.
there was a cat in my window. i wonder if it's going to come back either when i'm sleeping or when i'm not home and just come in. heh. i hope not, but i guess i'll find out.

how is it possible for a person who usually gets seven or eight hours of sleep a night - to get about six on a certain night, be awake for almost twenty four after that, then get another four - and not be tired?
i really should be tired. heh.
nevermind.

i'm alive!
music: terminal choice - eiszeit mood: ok
hanging out with my girls is always a promise of a good time...
met up with them early after noon at one of the starbucks at astor place. they were having really red iced teas. lol. then we headed over to some place on the bowery for food. once foods were consumed, we did the girly thing... shop. we all ended up getting two of the same shirts at zara. they had really cute ruffly shirts that have bats on the back. not one of us was able to resist the cuteness =D after more of the same walking around for a while, we found ourselves a spot to sit at a cute coffee shop on broadway. we were there for quite a while, sipping our delicious mango iced teas (a theme here?), when we decided it was finally time to head our separate ways.
we are such catty little gossips, and are often confronted by extreme amusement from the 'normals.' we talk about anything from school and sex to random plans for our various futures. we are very opinionated, too. the people litening to us talking about sex are often stunned. heh.
anyway, all three of us are going to head over to the crapcave for a while later. nothing can really go wrong when i'm out with those ladies =)

so much stuff!
music: (stuck in my head) terminal choice - death fuck mood: it's time to put in the AC
it's really simply unbelievable... even with all the stuff i've given away and with all of it that i plan on leaving behind, i still have so much of it. i'm really only sending my sister the things i absolutely need. yes, some of it has sentimental value, but if you knew the amount of stuff that involved sentimental attachment that i'm not taking - you'd be amazed. how the hell does one collect so much STUFF?
i've already sent two boxes, and i now have another three packed. i plan on staying here only with the things i will be taking with me when i leave... so anything i need that can fit into two suitcases and a carry-on, are staying. everything else is being mailed or given away.
i am starting to feel bad for my sister, though... perhaps i should tell them to put my 6-7 boxes in storage and just 'bill' me for it when i get there. i don't want to take up her space.
unrelated - later today, i hope to be getting together with kristen and sandra for some memorial day activities (no, they don't involve BBQing). i think it might be something involving food, followed by a movie. hehe. i love those two =)
we shall see.

thursday night
music: morning news mood: waking up
after work i had to head up to school for a bit. one of my professors wants to give me some sort of prize so i had to give her a copy of some crap. after that, i really just didn't feel like going home. i started walking downtown and obviously ended up shopping. bought a cute little black dress (one can never have too many of those), and headed down to korova. sat there for a while, watching one of the many godzilla movies, when nicole called. she stopped by the bar too and some drunk chick bought both of us our second round. then we decided that other substances were in order, so we headed back to her place, ordered food, and listened to faith no more while waiting for it to come. hehe. in our drunken/fucked up state of mind, we voted to watch a movie. we did that while eating our food, and then i think i devoured a half a pack of cookies and some other stuff nicole fed me. also, i was so fucked up that i didn't get most of the movie. lol. i think i'm going to have to watch it again when i'm more coherent. we ended up passing out on the couch, and i woke up when adam walked in at the end of the movie. then it was cab time.
nicole rocks!
13 weeks left =)
and now i will be heading into work for a couple of hours.

naked eye
music: orbital - little fluffy clouds mood: amused
this photo, that alex nason took last year, was used in a recently releaset book - naked eye by m. john gilles (sorry, no link... if you can find one, please let me know). i have a nice shiny copy of it. yay!
also, there are one or two (i think) more photos by my favorite photographer, brian mackey, that will be in the book he is releasing soon.
i am honored to be in both books. i find it amazing that i am worthy of it at all. not to say that i don't know my self-worth... i just never shot to be published. i was doing it for fun. heh.
wheeee!!

almost there...
music: air - kelly watch the stars mood: are we there yet?
i hate that i want to leave so badly. i mean, i really do, and it's the one thing that keeps me motivated right now... but there are some really good friends here that i'm going to miss so terribly. this is unlike anything i felt when i lived in tel aviv. not to say that i didn't know that i was going to miss my friends there, too. i think it's more that i already know what it feels like to leave someone you care about behind. there's is a group of about five or six people that i will feel empty without. also, since they are closest to me, it's them i keep on whining to. i feel as though i'm rubbing it in their faces or something, when i really don't mean to. it's a good thing these people know me well enough to understand where this is coming from and don't get insulted. rather, they just remind me of how much they love me and how awful it is that i'm leaving.
*sigh*
i will never win it all.
this is just an indication of what i have come to believe about myself - that i will likely never be able to stay in one place for more than a few years at a time. i will always want to be somewhere else. once the magic of the place has gone, it will be time for me to move on again. unless, of course, i'm tied down to another obligation (i do plan on going to grad school at some point... most likely in tel aviv).
with that said, my last full semester is officially over. i just came back from the last final. i think i did ok. this professor is fair, and i appear to have answered the questions better than most of the people i compared notes with. and i got another three boxes to send my shit in. now if i could only gather the energy to go outside again to get that packing tape i need to actually put anything in them. heh.

stuff that makes me go blah
music: at the gates mood: blah
1. being stuck. 2. being sick. 3. not being in the mood to study for the exam tomorrow. 4. not knowing what certain people are thinking. 5. not knowing if it's ok to care. 6. thinking it's probably not. 7. wanting to cry.
ps - i am fully capable of shutting my feelings off... i just try not to do it until i am absolutely sure it's the right thing to do. however, having to deal with the 'in-between' hurts like hell. fuck.

aids walk
music: silence mood: sick
it was nice and easy... got there in enough time to sign in and stand around for a bit before they let people start. i walked with ruthie, and we managed to finish in exactly two hours. once we were done, he headed over to check out the new apple store. it's soooo sexy! i really do want that new macbook, but it will wait a couple of months. following that, we grabbed something to eat, and that's when i realized, again, just how sick i actually am.
although i was considering byte tonight, i believe i will be staying in. feeling like ass doesn't exactly make me wanna party.

this and that
music: office noise mood: ok
yesterday i spent about three hours putting labels on postcards. then today i spent about as much time applying postage. fun.
yesterday was also the official last day of the spring semester. i do have another voluntary class i plan on going to on monday and one final on tuesday. that about sums it up for that one. now, of course, i'm waiting on the grades that it take professors nine years to post. my grades should be just fine, if the entire semester is anything to judge by. i don't like waiting. for anything. i have no patience. but alas, i have no choice on this, either. heh.
today is the beginning of my weekend. no plans for tonight. i would LIKE to go out for drinks, but no one i know is available. figures. in a couple of hours i will be meeting up with crystal and one of her friends for dinner. yay!
tomorrow, i shall be meeting up with my favorite drinking buddies - kristen and sandra for our somewhat usual friday night madness =)
saturday is the one day i have decided to stop by the tattoo convention. i'm not going to do much there but hang out. i'm still itching to get my elbows tattooed, but i think i'll be saving that cash for my next session with dan. it'll be fun anyway... it was last year =)
sunday is the AIDS walk. then BYTE. right now i'm thinking i might do BYTE, but last year both crystal and i were basically dead after the walk, with no energy to go out. we shall see.

tonight
music: silence mood: ok, i think...
so i did my best with the final i had to do. it wasn't easy. not because the meterial was difficult... it was actually because i don't think i have ever been less in the mood for homework. of course, i might have said those same words in a few other places along my educational path. heh. either way, it's done. however, i am going to have to look at it again tomorrow, just to get a fresh prespective of how crappy it actually is (or isn't?).
well, having finished with that insanity, i actually agreed to meet up with alison for dinner and a silly bodymod party over at don hills. i say 'agreed' because i wasn't really planning on going anywhere or doing anything tonight. and i say 'silly' cuz everything that involves new york vampires is always silly. either way, it was nice to be out with friends. of course, you know that the twopeople i really wanted to see called me just as i hopped in a cab and was on my way home. figures. i guess we're just going to have to figure out another night during the week, on which we can hang out =)
in other news, tomorrow i hand in my second to last final for this semester, and next week is my last (and only in-class) final. also, next weekend are both the aids walk and the tattoo convention. busy weekend. i hope it doesn't rain.
speaking of which... can someone shoot the guy in charge of the weather in this part of the globe? i'd like to go out not having to worry about how many layers i have to wear. sheesh.
ok, i think that's all.
thank you and good night.

the joy of having a roommate
music: printer. printing. mood: oh yea, THAT'S why i'm up so early
at 5am this morning, i was woken up by the sounds of my roommate having sex. lol.
now, i'm a huge advocate of loud sex... but it usually doesn't disrupt my sleep. however, i believe this happened for the better since last night i went to sleep without actually finishing the paper i have to hand in today. so instead of ignoring the sounds coming from the other room, i got up and washed up in order to sit down here and finish what needed to be done.
what i find tremendously amusing, in these situations - is thinking about all the people who actually have a problem when they have to hear someone they know having sex. i know a few people who 'don't want to hear it, if they're not getting any.' i don't see how someone could be more selfish. hell, i don't even remember when the last time was that i had sex, but if he was having fun - i'm happy for him. heh.
and now my paper is done, too =D

some people never really change, do they...
music: office noise mood: not surprised
a short while ago, someone i hadn't spoken to in just about seven years, 'found' me and we started talking via email. i was rather surprised that he contacted me, since the last i heard, he did something that is not cool in anyone's book (just to be vague). either way, he was the last person i thought i'd ever hear from or see again, so it caught me off guard. we did this back and forth thing, and decided that perhaps getting together for drinks is in order. you know... to properly catch up. we had made plans last week to meet today, and today he cancelled on me only AFTER i emailed him to confirm. LOL! seriously, i am so not surprised by this. this is exactly what he would have done, had this been a date we were going on. heh.
anyway, plans being cancelled - i am looking to meet up with adam and nicole. hopefully they'll be up for food and drinks (well, at least drinks =P)... i do love them =)

intuition
music: morning news mood: heh
my gut instinct is usually the right one.
i read people like books. yes, even those i have just met, or those i don't really know all too well.
i usually try to give people the benefit of the doubt and give them every opportunity to speak their minds to come forward with things that i sense about them...
not that at this point in time this is of any huge significance, it's a mere observation.
people never cease to amazing me.

modification
music: the jackoff in the cubical next to mine mood: heh
i just got my left lobe repierced. it's not perfect, but it's definately more even than the other one was. now all i have to do is wait for it to heal and stretch the two holes back up to a 6g. lovely.
next step will be the tragi. nope, not doing just one. it's all about the symmetry now.
also, i'm trying to make an appointment with a friend who is a hair stylist, to get rid of this gross/boring color in my hair. she said that lifting it shouldn't be a problem. then we will make it blonde again. waiting on her to see when she might be available.
gotta finish the ink dan's been working on. should be done in june, as i mentioned earlier.
then, before i make my final escape, i am considering snake bites. i really miss my lip ring, but again - the whole symmetry thing. i'd like to have one on either side. hence, snake bites.
by the time i've achieved all of this, not only will it have preiodically improved my mood (i'm one of those who need to create change in order to cheer myself up sometimes), but my look will be quite different from what it is now.
i can't wait.
