Tonight I made a risotto with peas, mushrooms, lemon zest and herbs. I also made mussels in white wine. We ate it with baguette and a bottle of chardonnay. I don't even really like chardonnay but it was really nice. Deeeelicious.

I just really like cooking.

Basically my life right now is me waiting for GMAC to decide it's OK to clear the check my dad wrote the guy for the car we bought from. They keep not clearing it for no reason, and apparently they want to wait until the middle of the week as some sort of a credit check? I don't understand.

I wrote a bunch of lyrics/music tonight to songs that I've had in the baby stages for about 6 months at least. It felt really good.

I also want to move out. I really want that feeling of MY home, versus the home I grew up in. I want to be able to wake up and read a book or play Zelda or do all of the things that I normally do, but not on Kenwood Rd. It just feels really important right now. The only two things I'll miss are the not always paying for groceries and the backyard. The backyard at my parent's house is probably one of my favorite places in life. But it's not like it's going anywhere, and my mom will probably still make me cook any time they have a party or something.

On an unrelated note, I usually don't go to sleep until 4:00am anymore. I'm not trying to stay up like I used to, I think it's developing into a sleeping pattern and I really don't like it.

And also, kickball was way fun last week. I'm excited to do it again!

Once I get a car I will go back to being a real person. I'll see my friends and be able to drive to my girlfriend! I can give people rides! It is going to be so great!

Also, I decided that I'm going to start saving money so that after college I can sublet apartments for like one month at a time around the world. Like, a month in NYC, a month in Madrid, etc. Doesn't that sound like fun? And better than getting a real job? I think I'd do it three places or something. Who knows. This is half-baked and far in the future.

So, apparently, sometimes even when you buy a pass to get on any train, you can't get on some trains. Then you have to pay a lot to get on the train that is connected to the train that you are supposed to be on, but no one tells you that they are two different trains that are just hugging right now. Then you have to change trains in Brussels before they go in different directions.

Then you run run run to get on the right train, but they tell you it's too late, that you'll just have to stay on the wrong train (even though the correct train is RIGHT THERE) until Brussells because they don't want to let you on (EVEN THOUGH THE DOORS TO THE RIGHT TRAIN ARE STILL OPEN).

Then you find out there's wifi on the train. And, even better, in Europe wifi is pronounced "wee fee." Great! So you try and go to the bar car so that you can pay for internet on a card so that it's not another stupid credit card fee on your statement, but walking down a moving train is like walking while REALLY drunk, only you can still feel your face and you don't have to pee, and you don't feel like making out with whoever is in front of you.

Then you get there, and the lady is really nice, and she sells you the ticket. Then you walk back, and everyone HATES you because you're walking and they're watching 27 dresses dubbed in German. Then you get back, and you find out there's a secret code underneath a shiny piece of tinfoil on your internet card that you have to peel off. Normally in the United States it would be printed under this, but no, as you rip, you find out that nothing is there. you look on the back, and it's ripped in half.

You try and try, but the letters don't even look real. So then you take it back halfway across the train to that nice lady, and she flat out denies you. Nope. Sorry. Can't return or exchange that. It's got to be on there somewhere. She even puts it back together for you, because she's kind of nice still. She says "yeah, that's got to be it." You ask her "but, that's not even real numbers or letters." She says "sorry, I dont' know how that works." Then she sends you on your way. 27 dresses hate you again. Then you're back. Then Amanda tapes the thing together with Lisa Frank stickers on the side of your card.

Still nothing. THEN, all of a sudden you realize that you have to LOOK AT THE SECRET CODE IN A MIRROR for it to work.

Then you write about it on livejournal, and you still can't get ahold of Parker (even though he has an iPhone) and you hope he knows you're not coming in at 4:45, but rather at 7:45. Oh well.

Does anyone know the German word for "duct tape"? Or where to find any in Munich?

I hope I never have to write the phrase "post-google" seriously ever again. Or, just ever again.

Okay, 2003 me just died.

http://lookatthisfuckinghipster.tumblr.com/

You know what, 2009 me just died.

I mean, I get that it's just some dude who wishes he wrote the "do's and dont's" in vice, but whatever.



This one is my favorite:


“If I didn’t already know I was listening to Animal Collective on these headphones, I would bet myself $100 that I was listening to Animal Collective on these headphones.”

Done.
I'm having a hard time not writing this entire essay about one passage from Invisible Man. I'm supposed to have like three maybe? I have like five, but I've already written three pages about a one sentence quote about bread and how sexual it is (plus all of the light vs dark imagery!), and there's just no sign of me stopping!

At the end of every semester I make a post like this, don't I?

Who works the information desk at central library is a bitch. She's not even helping me or anything but I'm still getting pissed of just being around her.

But the old couple in the leather chairs reading people magazine are great, though.

I wanted these last year. Now everyone's talking about them. Meaning that there's cheap ones at Incognito and J.Crew made a special release of them.

Whatever, they're ONESIZE, so they wont fit my face.

Also, it's kind of odd that in the link they're "necessary luxuries." I think if that's what they were called on the website everyone would be creeped out.

I bought a Game Cube for $20.00 on Ebay. This is the first gaming system I have bought since the Nintendo 64 that wasn't a retrograde purchase (i.e. buying an NES). I mean, I realize I'm still at least 6 years behind, but I just really wanted to play that Zelda game where you get to be a wolf.

It's official. As of 3:35am this morning, deciding to watch Heros instantly on Netflix is the WORST idea I have ever had.

I just can't stop. I'm only 12 episodes in! Whyyyyyyyyyyyy.
