listening to:
spencer’s interpretation of a covenant song as sung by our favorite wig-wearer.

craving: popcorn. when i was little, we didn’t have a microwave at my house. in fact, we didn’t have one until i was well into high school. so my mom used to make popcorn in the frying pan, with a little melted butter in the pan and actual popping corn from the farmer’s market. then when it was done, she’d melt a little more butter and pour it over the popcorn along with some salt. it always tasted a little burnt, but it was better than microwave popcorn.

last night: spencer and i went to albion. we were both in kind of a mellow mood, but it was fun. we took some pictures, which i’ll scan when i get a chance. also, the person who does the coat check there did this really cool caricature of me - i look sort of jhonenized. anne gwish with an emma flavor. i love it; i’ll scan it, also.

estimated hours of sleep: we went to sleep around four thirty and woke up noonish… therefore, not enough sleep. i still need to catch up from last week, much less this weekend. blah. i hate starting the week tired.

so far today: we actually managed to get out of bed by one, which i thought was impressive. then we got dressed and had pizza at the place on the corner and headed downtown to canal street, in chinatown, where we did some clothes shopping. not interesting clothes, unfortunately - just plain black and grey stuff for work. chinatown is kind of cool, though. there’s all these weird food smells and everything is really… filled. the streets are crowded, the stores are packed with objects, there’s signage on all available surfaces - it’s just a very well-used space. so that took a while, but we accomplished our mission. wandering around in the sun and the crowd made us kind of tired, though. we went back to spencer’s and lazed around for a bit, then headed to the office, where we are now. i’m getting sleepy again, though i just had some coffee so i’m waiting for it to kick in.

current plans for later today: i’m guessing we’ll be out of here in an hour or so and then head back to spencer’s for star wars trivial pursuit or a movie before bed. i like not having to get up at six in order to get to work at time; i should move back to manhattan permanently.

what else: spencer and i were walking on third avenue today and we passed this touristy average middle class white family. as we walked by, the father gave us this horrified look and shouted "down with satan!". you just have to love new york sometimes, you really do.
