It's still on the floor. This is sort of like living with a dead body. Still there, still not moving. <br /><br />I feel really sick from eating half a round of cheese at Tarallucci e Vino and a basket of bread slices. Gross. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cowtippin:77905 2008-03-07T13:30:49Z 2008-03-07T13:30:49Z it's early going to Delaware again this weekend to see Diane at UUUD. I know it from 1) one summer I spent there (i majored in falling asleep and gaining 20 pounds from drinking Country Time lemonade) 2) visiting people from high school 3) going there for swim meets, which were grueling and cold (like championships and the state meet). <br /><br />i probably would've dropped out if i went to UD. The english classes there sucked. I can't say the same for chemistry...I meant to get Stacey or someone's address for you diane since she was chem/biochem like you. I am pissed off at myself for being unreliable except at work these days. I was talking on skype yesterday with my head on my desk and my eyes closed I was so tired. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cowtippin:77719 2008-02-21T01:10:07Z 2008-02-21T01:10:07Z B0N VOYAGEEE NERMIN<br /><br />Maybe I'll write that again when it's closer to the time that you leave. probably I'll forget.<br /><br /><lj-embed id="1" /> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cowtippin:77331 2008-02-10T18:50:14Z 2008-02-10T18:50:14Z do make say think definitely going to Delaware next weekend wooooo<br /><br />and going to Memphis in March. Good thing. i need to get out of the city occasionally. You just feel pushed from place to place sometimes. Maybe it's like that everywhere. I ate some generally good but not amazing tapas, poached eggs over spinach at Morandi, sushi at some place on the upper east side called Wasabi Lobby, a curried cauliflower sandwich the night before at a vegan place called 'Snice, Jack stir-brewed coffee, Joe cappuccino, blood orange tea at Subtle Tea, a vodka cranberry, wine that I didn't bother to remember, a ginger ale and whiskey out of a Garfield cup, warm chocolate cake with strawberries and cinnamon ice cream, too-mild manchego and runny cana de cabra, candied walnuts and fig puree, a croissant from Doma, a croissant from Union Market, and edamame. I'm really bored. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cowtippin:77266 2008-02-01T01:33:15Z 2008-02-01T01:33:15Z jane b. - jane birkin last weekend i went to a party in my neighborhood with Julia. Then I went to see my friend Sydney's new apartment in the theater district. It is a huge building with hundreds of apartments and white halls like a hotel. The inside smells like a Lean Cuisine mixed with sausage. The roof is awesome although the ugly Hearst building looms over it. The turbines (??) on the roof are fenced in with chainlink covered in fake christmas tree material. My friend lives with a Russian woman who travels around the world and has a 48-inch plasma screen tv. Their fridge was covered in magnets from traveling, many of them the castle Neuschwanstein:<br /><br /><img src="http://z.about.com/d/architecture/1/7/U/i/Neuschwanstein.jpg"><br /><br />We went to a restaurant called Rue 57. We ate a lot of fries with sauce au poivre. It would've been nice to walk by Central Park but it was too cold. I saw violetyork and some last night. She was hit on by a turkish lesbian restaurant manager although I wasn't there to see it. We had some really horrible "pomegranate martinis." We had sushi on a party boat. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.igoweb.org/~wms/personal/photos/2000/wedding/rehearsalDinner/sushiBoat2-med.jpg"><br /><br />me on the left. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cowtippin:76964 2008-01-23T16:37:39Z 2008-01-23T20:14:48Z typical girls - the slits i had a soy donut and a beer last night for dinner.

I went to a vegetarian restaurant and fell off a stool. I played Mario Galaxy at some bar. We watched some stand-up comedy. There is a truck called the Mitzvah truck that is circling manhattan righ tnow (I saw it last night in the west village and tonight on park avenue) broadcasting Hanukkah messages ("Hanukkah is your home, Hanukkah is your light").

I ate a lot of amazing food in Grenoble including the best bread, with walnuts in it. I also climbed the hill with the bastille on it, hiked along the side of the highway where there are shantytowns of homeless people, and then on Sunday hiked in the alps in a foot of snow in pumas and jeans (this was fun...we went up a hill and past farmhouses, then through the woods and to the top of the hill/mountain where there was a little cabin for backpackers, then back down in the dark...then we went to a raclette party). <br /><br />I went to some bars in Grenoble where they played terrible music and the only drinks were wine mixed with liquor that tasted like antifreeze probably tastes. <br /><br />NOW I AM BACK TIME TO GET SOME WORK DONE urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cowtippin:74530 2007-11-03T13:14:20Z 2007-11-03T13:14:20Z people under the stairs FRANCE IN 9 DAYS<br /><br />staying in le marais, then over the weekend with my friend in Grenoble. hiking alps! <br /><br />if you have been to Paris and have recommendations let me know...I want to go to the musée picasso, but other than that I may just walk around (I'll only be there two full days, Tuesday and Wednesday). urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cowtippin:74253 2007-10-14T14:50:26Z 2007-10-14T14:50:26Z ya, selva oscura, but hell now<br />is not exterior, is not to be got out of, is<br />the coat of your own self, the beasts<br />emblazoned on you And who<br />can turn this total thing, invert<br />and let the ragged sleeves be seen<br />by any bitch or common character?<br /><br />-charles olson, from "In Cold Hell, in Thicket" urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cowtippin:74206 2007-10-13T17:56:26Z 2007-10-13T17:56:26Z plastic mile - stereolab this morning I woke up, stretched, sat up, and smacked my head on the ceiling so hard I almost blacked out. it is fun to sleep in a loft bed<br /><br />can't decide what to do today.

I keep waking up at night freaking out from bug bites, and i flipped my shit and thought I had bed bugs. Everyone I talk to about it says that I'm crazy and that I would've seen them or evidence of them (they don't move fast..plus they shit blood). However I want to be sure that nothing is eating my blood while I sleep. I am taking everything out of my room and doing laundry. I can't deal with parasitic bugs.<br /><br />I am a pussy. I could never, for example, deal with the biology that ms. deyle must deal with on a daily basis. Yesterday I was hiking in the jersey woods with my friend and we saw this huge dead snake with flies buzzing around it and I freaked out and couldn't look at it (my friend told me that it was a rattlesnake...and bees were eating its eyes). urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cowtippin:72696 2007-08-21T01:06:14Z 2007-08-21T01:06:14Z radio back from delaware...did not really do anything since I was recuperating from the superflu.
