i'm not modest, i just know they're bad.

ugh. i feel like ass. right, so, no little angel appeared on my shoulder yesterday to tell me not to drink that big iced coffee at 5 pm. it seemed like a perfectly logical thing to do at the time, as i was wilting and tired in the nastiness of heat and humidity. so... no sleep for me. almost literally. maybe some sleep. but i know i was up at 1 and i know i was up at 4 and i know i spent much of the rest of the time tossing and turning and trying not to stress about being awake. and now i feel awful.

i must have slept at some point though, bc i had another sad dream. but this one was funny sad. my dad decided to put on a variety show. i had to help by playing violin to back up someone's song. the song sucked and the person kept screwing up and i was pissed because he couldn't count. the whole show flopped. when it was over, people just left without applauding. i felt so bad for my father. so bad.

this has been an odd few nights as i rarely remember dreams at all.

the good news of my weekend is that we now have 3 out of 5 rooms completely unpacked, cleaned and decorated. this makes life feel different - and generally better. and i think i will show my appreciation for the clean bedroom by going to take a nap in it. this should be particularly delightful as last night's thunderstorm broke the heat and humidity and now it's lovely and cool. i think i'll take my current book to nap with me. just started last night, em forster's the longest journey. so far, v. much like other em forster.

credo che da lei dobbiamo aspettarci grandi cose, signor potter

oh boy. rach's friend from high school is on her way over. no, right, that is good. amy's very nice, i've met her before. and i look forward to hearing tales of her being a street performer in equador. but that means no finishing the study tonight. and i am so eager for this house to be done.

you know what's pointless? arguing with people about other people's attractiveness. yup. though somehow irresistable. how would you explain to someone what is attractive about dominic monaghan? if they don't just get it on their own...

meoooow. i miss starbuckle! and i am so excited for her crushy goodness. everyone send jenny girl seduction vibes please!
