This is crazy music! It’s so awesome I’m eargasming.
Often we went down to the beach, me holding her hand and the wind whispering in her ear. She would laugh and the blue of the sea would be that much bluer for it. We’d kick up the sand with our feet and we’d stand still looking to the horizon but not for tomorrow. We made that summer last forever, counting stars instead of days, listening to our hearts beat.
The night I met Topher was a windy night, the kind of night when you just know it’s going to rain, but as usual I did not bring my umbrella and I was only five blocks from the office when it started to pour. And the rain is coming down real hard and I do not fancy walking home soaked to my bones so I duck into an awning. Someone else is there taking shelter and he has this cool attitude...
I wake up to the rumbling of my stomach. Brown stains on the ceiling look vaguely like clouds caught between shapes. I imagine that if I stare hard enough they might actually drift across the plaster. Blinking a couple of times, I sit up. The digital clock on the beside table announces the time in bold neon. 11:00 am. Sunlight slashing through the curtains tells me my clock is not wrong. Damn. I...

Breakfast at high noon
Omelette au poisson
Tired of the many times I have eaten tuna straight from the can (for lack of a kitchen back when I used to live in the dorm), I decided to cook tuna omelette. It is ridiculously easy to make.
Ingredients: 1 can of tuna flakes; 2 eggs; 1 medium tomato, diced; cheese, grated
Beat the egg until appropriately frothy. Add the tuna flakes, the tomato, and the cheese. Cook over low...
The truth about ninja →
Apparently, ninjas NEVER wore all black and DO NOT have awesome powers like creating illusions of themselves or transforming into logs. Now, all my pubescent fantasies are crumbling and I feel lost, totally and irrevocably lost, I mean, what is the point of wanting to be a ninja if I don’t get to wear emo robes and use ninjutsu?

Currently reading. I am halfway through and thoroughly enjoying it. It’s been a while since I last had a cloak-and-dagger fix.
Old ladies are adorable
EXT. My apartment
Old Lady 1: Look at my plants, aren't they adorable?
Old Lady 2: *nods in agreement*
Old Lady 1: You know, my two friends and I love gardening.
Old Lady 1: But my plants grow better than theirs. You know why?
Old Lady 1: Because I talk to them. I tell them, I have done my part, now do yours and grow.
Old Lady 2: *glances at me with a knowing smile*
Old Lady 1: *gestures at the plants in benediction* Lord, thank you for making my plants grow.
Old Lady 2: ROTFLMAO

For later reading.
Commander Adama: I gave the order. It's my responsibility.
Captain Apollo: I pulled the trigger. It's mine.
This morning I made myself happy.
Woke up at a quarter to nine, much later than I would like, but I changed into running shorts and shoes and went jogging for half an hour, and when I got back I cooked myself some oatmeal as a prize, and since I cooked it with milk, it was so good I decided to skip the sugar and put off my diabetes for a while.
Tomorrow: get up earlier, jog for a bit longer.
Someday: quit smoking.

Playlist of the day. These songs remind me of the first two years of college.
Joy: I wonder what happened at Pam's wedding.
Steve: I don't know. But I sure know what happened afterward...
Friend: What's up with you lately?
Steve: Besides alternately feeling angsty and foolish, nothing much.
Friend: And why is that?
Steve: Having nothing to do addles my brain.
