about that last post...

it was a bad day.

and frankly, this is my blog. i get to complain. therefore... a big "HA!" to my AC :)

to see what i've been up to work-wise... here

what else... fun visit to the piercing store today. i got new rings for my cartilege piercings!! nobody but myself can tell, but it's neat :-D

it's been really cold here... right now (at 0545, mind you) it's 30 degrees Farenheit and dry as a bone. even the rain feels dry. when it rains, that is.

and lemme tell ya, my skin loves the dry. it thinks it's a competition, and tries to match the dryness. especially on the back of my hands.

at least i'm not back home working in the chocolate shop. we washed our hands so often that the backs of my hands would dry to the point of cracking and bleeding. this does not = teh s3x.

neither does my over-filled laundry basket. haha, i typed "baskey" originally. yeah, laundry needs to be done. and a room clean. and maybe a once-over with a vacuum on the lovely mass-produced rug, if i'm feeling saucy.

random fun occurence of the day: i found my grandfather's immigration records online!! and his parents', and a person who i think is his uncle. it was pretty exciting. the family came to San Francisco when my grandfather, Edwin, was 17. shortly after arriving, it was decided that the last name should be "Americanized", and they dropped the "ovsky"... yeah, i'm a quarter white Russian.

can you imagine what it must've been like being Russian in the USA during the Cold War? no wonder nobody talked about the Russian side of the family. my mother told me once that Edwin (who, btw, was her father) would speak to his family in Russian or Mandarin (they lived in Shanghai after the Revolution of 1917), but he never taught my mother Russian, or anything about judaism. another part of his life that probably didn't make him too popular back in the day.

i may continue to research his life. Edwin died before i was born, but at least there's records of his immigration- my father's family's records burned in the San Francisco fire.

and i don't think they had Xerox machines back then... :p

Currently:
reading- textbooks aplenty!
listening to- "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd

random complainings until i get tired (or run out)

• i hit my head tonight.... hard enough, apparently, to make me see "snow". i'm fairly certain that the snow actually is there, but supporting evidence is lacking.


• i always manage to lose my left legwarmer in the night. i'll wake up three hours after i went to sleep, and my left foot/ankle will be significantly colder than my right.


• it snowed really hard today, and half the kids in spanish class were all panicking.... folks around here definitely do NOT know how to drive in any sort of weather.... or at all, truth be told. anywho, our spanish teacher put it up to a vote, and 10 of 14 people voted to cancel the rest of class. this made the professor kinda pissy. i wanted to slap him.


• gringos with castillian accents in general anger me.


• burnt my tongue last night on a microwaved mini-pizza. hurt like a bitch, but i decided against screaming at 4 am


• my face is sunburnt from the lovely weather we've had lately. and it burned in such a way that i look like i have can-can dancer make-up on. no good.


• i'm still seeing "snow".... and i've been nauseated all evening.


• i hate the smell of fish... so doesn't it just figure that after i bang my head and get pukey feeling, some lady over-microwaves a hunk of fish, and makes an entire building on campus REEK of EVIL!! i seriously gagged when i got onto the floor of the microwave incident.


• people are beginning to irritate me in general. when are they going to realise that i'm not narcissitic, but that they're denying the truth: that i'm teh s3x? hmmm?


• still haven't gotten my sleep med refill in the mail.
  


• haven't slept in days... probably 5 days, if my math is right. (ACTUALLY slept.... what i do now is pass out for two hours, then wake up every twenty minutes until i get sick of the dance)
  


• the heat only comes on in my room from 5 am until 7 am. and it barely warms the metal register. still wondering about those legwarmers?


• i hate puking. who doesn't?
  


• school should've been cancelled today...
  


• there's going to be a shit ton of ice everywhere on campus tomorrow (aka, in a few hours)


• the computer screen is making me sick


• that highlighter is making me sick


• my headache is making me cranky

• and if you're still reading this.... i applaude your boredom.

Currently:

listening to- "Revolution" by Reel Big Fish (listen to the songs on their site- hilarious!!)
