yes, i spent my friday nite at kinko's. who would have guessed that there would be so much clientele there at midnite on a weekend nite? i thought that we would be the only losers with nothing better to do on a friday nite but xerox. but nope! we had loser friends! while khalid argued with marhavi, the pakistani xerox man, i sat around for an hour and watched a very heavyset girl photocopy her face over and over again. good times.

i'm going a bit crazy right now...in 79 minutes (not that i'm counting or anything), i will give one of my four big presentations of my grad school career. unfortunately the scheduling worked out so i'm giving in the afternoon, so i get to sit around all morning and be nervous. i've already gone through my slides, took a very long walk to the mailroom, and played countless games of spider solitaire, but i still have 77 minutes to go. so i've decided that to keep myself busy and pass the time, i'll share a bit of myself with the internet.

jewish crushes.

the most recent of which is zach braff (no confirmation that he's jewish, but i'm pretty sure. plus, i have a crush on him, so that's the biggest confirmation that we can get).

i've got the whole spectrum covered, the steins to the goldhirsches. although sadly, i never came across a silverburg. i even wanted to be jewish for awhile - great reason to find religion, huh? but alas, i've only admired from afar...the jewish boys were never interested.

that's it. i can't write anymore. i can't focus on any one activity for too long before getting antsy and nervous again. so maybe i'll revisit the jewish crushes another day, but for now, i have to go play another game of spider solitaire...only 72 minutes left.

can someone please explain to me the joy involved behind looking at porn in your office? your office that has 7 other people in it, one of whom is of the opposite sex. why? even more so when your desk is situated right next to the window and people can look in at any given moment. yeah, i'm sure it's not obvious to anyone when they walk by and then with about a 2 second delay you minimize the window. good one, you're really keeping it a secret.

i too can walk on water (solid water but who cares about details?).

this is me standing on a lake. i'm about the biggest chicken out there, but after i saw all the trucks and SUVs out in the middle of the lake, i decided it was safe enough for me to venture a few feet from the shore.

the frigid temps in evanston this season have made me realize the one part of my wardrobe that is missing...

a nose sock

i think i can make one and have it wrap around my head. it will prevent my nose from icing over and it will be very fashionable. don't you think?

it's really amazing how much better it is to be at home.
this morning i stayed home from work with papers to read so as to keep my mom company for a short while, before heading in here this afternoon. i did, in fact, get work done - probably more than i would have around here since there is no internet. but in between i worked on our 3,000 piece puzzle of the world map (dear god, will it ever be finished!?!!) and read my book - the latest by anne tyler, the amateur marriage.
i used to think i would never be a stay at home mom. now i don't know about the mom part, but the stay at home, i could definately get used to. the second i stepped into work and heard the evil one's voice, i just wanted to run back to my cozy apartment. it's just SO MUCH BETTER there. hmmmm...maybe i'll leave now and pretend i was never here.

in honor of a very special mr. dirty dave lipson, i dedicate this blog entry to all celebrations of groundhog's day across the nation.

dirty dave was the leader of groundhog's day festivities at the college of william and mary. he roused us at 6am, fed us ginger snaps and ginger ale (the cheap food dog brand as we awaited punxatauwney phil's presence, and the good stuff, canada dry, once phil came into view), and read the proclamation of groundhog's day, declaring phil as the prognosticator of all prognosticators. dave even sculpted an amazing 3-D phil out of duct tape. with dirty dave around, groundhog's day was a bitchin' time.

hope all of you have a dirty dave to celebrate this glorious day with. i, on the otherhand, will be celebrating with my mother who turns ## today. (you're never supposed to reveal a woman's age, right?) happy birthday mommy!!!
