Hilarious.

In the garden the chrysanthemums were dying like desires when you came. Calmly you laughed, like little white flowers. Silent, I made a sweetest song out of the darkness deep within me and the petals sing it up above you.

Shearwater’s new album = just what I needed to listen to at the end of this weird and hectic day. Check it out if you haven’t listened to it yet. It’s great.

Went running tonight. Man, do I feel productive now!
Update: Now I am listening to a funk mix online and working on some correspondence.
Tonight was a weird Tuesday. I do not wish to repeat this night. Ever.

This weekend: baking cookies, making kawaii zines and cards, a nice dinner, fancy desserts, the Toxic Avenger, print sales, Greek dance practice, buying some shirts from the Jason Wu for Target collection and being anti-Super Bowl.

Another wonderful Greek class tonight! About half the class was there this time. Perhaps the rain deterred some people.

Today: Lunch at Mandola’s Italian market (my god, I’ve missed...
You win some, you lose some. Today I lost, but that’s okay. I’ll still keep doing what I enjoy and no one can take that away from me. Also, I’m off to Austin this weekend and it should be pretty fun.
