today
very long day. i woke up at 7am and spent pretty much all day working on pa, except for a couple of hours i spent doing reading for my classes tomorrow. i’m pretty tired now. talk to you kids tomorrow.
today
before i continue with my usual rambling, i just want to take a sec to thank everyone who wrote yesterday regarding my entry. i appreciate the encouragement. i’ve been fairly productive today, but i’m not done yet. i ended up falling asleep around nine o’clock last night - maybe my body’s way of telling me i’m going to have to stop substituting no doz and venti mochas...
today
for the past couple of weeks, i’ve been absurdly happy. this is not a standard thing with me; i’m just not a very perky person. i don’t even like very perky people. i’m used to an emotional state of barely controlled panic combined with a sort of resigned apathy. i’m frequently worried or anxious, but not in a productive way, because it’s not the kind of worry...

today was fabulous. i can’t remember if i mentioned on tuesday that my philosophy professor this term rocks socks like you wouldn’t believe; if not, well, he does. let it be known. it turns out he holds his office hours in an irish pub downtown; obviously i had to check it out. i headed over after my inida recitation and found him with maybe a dozen other nyu philosophy students, some...
today
overall, i would say i had a really good day, although the past few hours of it have been a little frustrating. as some of you have probably read over at penny arcade, gabe and i have been working our asses off on getting the new redesign finished. i had a specific chunk i wanted to finish for him tonight which i’m just not going to have time to do. i’ll probably be able to get it done when i get...
today
this is going to be quick because i’m exhausted and i have to get up mad early again tomorrow. but yes, my first day of classes kicked my ass. i only two lectures today - world cultures: india and ethical theory - but both of them were great. india looks like it’s going to be a lot of work but really interesting, and ethics has what might just be the coolest professor i’ve ever...
today
i’m sorry i didn’t update yesterday! thank you to everyone who sent me birthday emails and cards and such and whatnot, i really enjoyed all of them :) saturday night at club was really, really fun. granted, i’m saying that despite the fact that i can’t remember much of it - there was drinking. there was a drunk emma. but really, if ever there is a time to get drunk, i think...
today
just a quick update because i’m off to batcave in a few. it’s my birthday in an hour and a half! i’m celebrating at club tonight, so all you new york fuckers stop by and buy me a drink or something. uNF.
today
i’ve been working on a project for pa pretty much constantly for the past couple of days, and another freelance project i have. i’m trying to finish up this design stuff or as close to it as possible before classes start on tuesday because i know my schedule’s going to be really tight. i’m making a lot of progress on pa, which is nice, but i still have a lot to do so...
today
i woke up feeling a lot better this morning, maybe because of all the cough medicine and vitamin c and oj i’ve been tossing down my throat, but either way i’m glad to be a little less wretched. i am trying to adjust my sleeping patterns to something a little more school-compatible, which is annoying but i guess better get used to it now than to sleep through my first week of classes....
today
i woke up really late this morning because i had to take a bunch of cold medicine to get to sleep; i don’t really feel that sick but i have this cough that just won’t go away and it gets a lot worse when i’m trying to sleep. so i slept till almost noon and felt really groggy for most of the day. bleh. i’m working on a bunch of design projects at the moment; when i start...
today
things are pretty frantic now, with about a week to go until i start at nyu (and a week until my birthday!) i’ve been pretty busy. friday night mrtails came over since he won’t be around for my birthday next weekend; we watched some movies and played a lot of super smash brothers melee, and not a little tony hawk 3. didn’t get to sleep until pretty late (or i guess pretty early...
today
yesterday and today i’ve been dealing with nyu stuff and whatnot - trying to get everything sorted out before i start classes again in a couple weeks, which i’m looking forward to but there’s a lot to get done before then. colin went to london today, and i get to take care of his gamecube until he gets back later this month. after all, we don’t want it getting lonely...
today
pretty productive day. cleaned up my apartment, worked on pa. now i have a headache. the end.
today
so i had a pretty good weekend. saturday i went to spencer’s, for movies and geeking and mexican food. we were going to go clubbing; first we were thinking batcave but then we decided to try out this new club on 2nd. unfortunately, we got all the way down there and it wasn’t open and didn’t show any signs of being open any time soon. so that didn’t quite work, but i still...
today
i’m at spencer’s house right now; we just had some mexican and are going to watch movies in a bit. eventually we will be heading over to batcave, which should be fun. i haven’t been out in a long time and i’m looking forward to it. now spencer is getting his guitar skillz on y0. woo. i have to say this is the first acoustic version of the perfect drug i’ve ever heard....
today
not a terribly exciting day. my plague is essentially gone but my throat’s still kind of scratchy so i’ve been making with the tea and soup and working on the design projects that are piling up, primarily my dad’s site and pa, although as colin reminded me i still have to finish disintegrate.org at some point. eventually, i promise. i’ve also been sewing up all the little...
today
so yeah, i’m kind of goth tonight. my new year’s eve was pretty cool. i went to colin’s and we watched movies till midnight, then cracked some champagne and watched the ball drop and everything. i try to avoid manhattan entirely on new year’s eve: since i moved here, i’ve spent two new year’s eves in brooklyn and one in jersey. dunno what i’m up to this...
