weather: very cold. I’m in my san francisco overcoat, gray scarf thrown around my neck and trying very very hard to keep warm. it’s really chilly in our apartment because I can’t seem to get our heater to work. I mean, I understand how thermostats work: you move the little thingie to the temperature you want, right? not that difficult!! but unlike what might come out of my mouth occasionally, no hot air emerges from the vents. BRR! It doesn’t help that we keep our windows open to help ventilate the place. I can deal with a little bit of stuffiness if the place weren’t so damn cold.. and if I weren’t such a wussy soCal girl, I’d be able to deal with it soooo much better. hehe. I can hear kipp’s voice now: “you don’t know cold! BOSTON is cold!” and I would agree wholeheartedly.
the nice thing about tonight is that it’s beautifully clear out. the stars shine unimpeded by presumptuous clouds, and the half-full moon casts a demure glow, contrasting on the glaring splashiness of the lights emerging from the city beneath. fluorescent as the lights that shine in westwood tonight might be, the moon seems to be tapping one on the shoulder, as if gently reminding one that “hello! I am here as well” with a sly wink. so yes, it is a nice night… it is a bit chilly to be out, but beautiful to be lookin’ up…
it is perhaps, too chilly for a girl afflicted with a slight illness – like me – to be out and about. but at this point, it’s a lot better for me to go out to a warm cafe out than stay in my really cold apartment. maybe it is time to get that space heater back from my old roommates. maybe it’s better that I finish moving out!! =P
anyway, enough about the night. don’t you hate it when you realize you set your alarm clock to the pm time instead of the am time? boy is that no good. I’ve missed classes for the past two days, and I was wondering how I slept through my alarm. I mean.. I’m a deep sleeper, but I can’t imagine sleeping through an HOUR of my terribly annoying alarm clock and not remembering grouchily slamming my hand down on it every 10 minutes. I at least figured that one out.
oh yes, and to make up for my blogging yesterday:
– when you get an oil change and they ask if you if you want your windows cleaned (it’s included!), just say no.
– bigger tables for dinner come in handy
– forgetting to invite one of your very best friends over for a dinner party is a no-no.
– lisa makes an AMAZING korean bbq!
– wayne owes me two crab dinners!! take that!!
– I scare people away from skydiving when I talk about it too much.
– same with paintball
– .. and I think with most things. hehe.
joyful note: cingular bill this month = 1x what my plan says I pay, and not 3x.
not so joyful note: writing many checks today to clear some debts while knowing that more people still owe ME lots of money. >_
