Home, where my music's playing.

Almost! :D Have to get through two English finals first.

I helped make sushi yesterday. It is bomb. Gonna do it some more. Avocado is great.

But most of all, Lauri is great. Tricia is great. Tiff is great. Tammy is great. Jen is great. Lori is great.

Summer will be great too.

Signing off now.

(Conserving all my words for tomorrow! la la)

Paper due in the morning = more blogging. (It's a simple equation, really.)

This is the ice cream maker I want. Thanks.

(Wait, I think this is the electric one. I want the not electric one. Yeah. I want to crank the thing so hard my arm falls off.)

After a break (hiatus, whatever) from my digicam (I hate how the word looks but I love how it sounds - go figure), I think I'm ready to handle looking at the world with it again. Your scope is so limited, although so rich - my brain is too little to handle the switch back to a broadly 3D life afterward. Yeah. Plus, I have tons of photos stored at home to deal with, and I'm down to my last 50 MB of space here, although I can surely ask for more.

Hmm, what else to muse upon as I steadfastly ignore the open Word document on the other side of the screen. (Maybe I should use this window to obliterate that one. Heh.) College. I gave a little advice last night and I'm feeling a little weird about it - what do I truly know, the most likely reason for me getting into Davis was that the folder my application came in with pretty. I've noted that environment is not as immediately necessary as one's own openness, that intelligence is no substitute for attentive listening (but of course, when one bounces to one extreme, the opposite is true as well), and that, well, at the end of the day when all you have is yourself, you better be someone you respect.

Must get to beach this weekend. Must finish paper first. :
To be continued, I guess... hopefully not tonight.

New RJD2 album is $9.99 at Tower (Best New Music). Go pick it up. (I got it for $14.99 at Armadillo - don't regret it, really, but... I'd heard RJD2 before. Heh. Um... dangit. I made it all snobby now.) He's an electronica artist who has come to a more DJ Shadow-like (get Endtroducing..., Shadow's debut album, now) sound, but the groove is definitely there.

Can't wait for the Mutual Admiration Society disc to finally come out mid-July - the 13th I believe. I've been listening to some of the stream up at the Sugar Hill Records site and oh, it's sweet.

Alright, back to work. I'm going out to Woodstock's tonight with Crusade folks and need to either have figured out a thesis or studied for psych. Hope they have some gooood chicken wings over there to make this all worth it.

I'm not writing yet another paper, and it's late in me terms, so... yeah great rambling ahead.

No, wait, I just want to remind myself to take me far more seriously. But be patient too. I haven't really got ahold of this swimming thing yet.

Some side notes:

- I talked to J last night about Alaska, a little, and I think what it comes down to is that it's really the cumulation of all the things I'd like to be. It's a territory that gives back war at the offering of peace, and I want to brave that for my own sake. I am at a point where I'm so passive it'd probably make my father cry if he knew, and that was one of the moments I've buried under (what feels like) the top layer of my consciousness. But it's there, as it likes to remind me.

- I'm so fired up for helping out with youth group this summer I'm afraid my motivation is pride. But as it is, there are a ton of people I care about who are making the crossover to the big leagues (heh, baseball) in the fall and I want to just prepare their spirit for it. It's the best and worst thing that's happened to me in the last couple years, and I want to share in it so bad.

- Cheers for those I can be silly with. Cheers for those who demand it from me straight up. I'm going to have to be a little more (less?) fair in giving you priority. (Steph, by the next time you check this over you better have talked to Tricia re: vision... and thankfulness.)

- Terri Clark is my friend tonight. I think my tastes have shifted now, I adore catchiness, or at least value it a lot more - I'm sad I closed myself off from it in the last years. But yeah. Terri is still golden.

- Tiffany Cheung is hilarious. She tried to out me as soft this weekend, but I got the shield up in time. ;) (As that Shins song goes... caring is creepy.) Anyway. I think she's exactly what I've been needing; I can only laugh helplessly as she picks me apart.

- My Santa Cruz mommy is a complete freak and scarred me this weekend. End of discussion.
