cancel the thing that i said i'd do, i don't feel comfortable talking to you

how does one maintain a blog?
i never feel like it.
my allergies are terrible, i feel like the sandman was caught under each of my eyelids and he did his business and lived there for a few weeks before leaving without cleaning up.

i made coffee, it helped a bit.


hmmm.
i had the best birthday of my life.
i turned 25 and all the people i loved best were there.



obviously joel understood the concept of the sandwich party. he is amazing. his inaugural sandwich was a cheese bun with marble cheese, peanut butter and chips.



he also took bricks and wood he found in the backyard and made two long benches that people can sit on..

but really: on my birthday i spent the day eating, sleeping, preparing for my party, with the people that bring me the most joy. and it was a great success.












it was like "this is your life" with guy smiley.
only no puppets (unless they came out after i went to bed.)

after my party, i played a concert. after that, i went to montreal to do laundry and spend a day or two with my baby.


i have been riding the birthday high ever since. and even with my allergies and grumpleness...
i feel like july is a great idea.

Listening to the Beatles

I keep listening to "A Day in the Life".
My iPod ate itself, so I haven't been able to listen to music at all while traveling today. And I traveled quite a lot.
So, it is really satisfying listening to it as I snuggle into bed. The Clean Island. Cleanish Island. I am packing to leave my basement apartment for somewhere with high ceilings. And nice friends, good friends.
I got some pistachios. And some dark chocolate. And some milk chocolate. I have eaten a lot of pistachios, and a few squares of each chocolate. I am alone but will not be for long. I am moving in with people, so I won't have to come home and snack. Or at least there will be someone to share with.

When I was a kid, I used to be obsessed with the outro of "Hello Goodbye".
I kinda am again after watching the video yesterday.



I just really need to concentrate on the Beatles right now.
I drew a little fake man on my thumb to keep me company.
I need to go to sleep.

Who the hell am I?

I don't know anything about the Beatles.

I feel like there are a lot of things I should be doing, that I am not.
And a lot of things that I am not doing, that I should.
But I also feel like I am trying really, really hard
to just let go and move on.
Anyway, listening to the Beatles is a really easy thing to do.
It is easy and I want an easy night.

i love boys.

i met these three beautiful boys.









they are lovely and i adore them.



everyone does!


but i like this one the most...

the city of sisterly love

The best part about moving in with Katie, will be that we can spil subscriptions to fancy magazines and keep them piled neatly on the coffee table and no one will fuck around with them.

Lula's...Missbehaves...Purple's...all meticulously stacked.

I cannot wait.
