merry christmas!

hhhheeeeeyyy CAMERA!

so. last year right before i left for portugal my camera broke. and i knew it was pretty broken and couldn't be fixed because the lense was all effed up. it at least could not be fixed before i left for portugal. so in portugal i bought a cheap digicam and have been using it since. sometimes i would think of my old camera with a pang of sadness. the new camera i had was fine but it did not take nearly as good pictures and i just felt like an idiot for breaking the old one. then over this break i charged up my old camera (which i kept) because i was going to put my memory card in it bc i didnt bring home the one for my current camera. so after i charged i thought "what the hell" and just tried to turn it on AND IT FUCKING WORKED! i am so excited because now i have my old camera back and i can give me new camera to steph who broke her camera sort of when some stolen vodka spilled all over it (tupperware is not a good place to store vodka). pretty cool.

it's so soon!

because everyone was here visiting and i was just thinking about that i didn't really how soon christmas is! i woke up yesterday morning and realized it was in 5 DAYS! now its in 4 DAYS! i was so excited about people be in town that i kinda hadn't thought about christmas at all and now it's just so bizarre. its like a surprise christmas party or something.

binoculars

two years ago my dad gave me a pair of binoculars for my birthday with no explanation. he likes binoculars but i have no idea why he gave them to me for my birthday. anyway, i recently opened them and started looking around my room with them in the morning when i am laying in bed. i decided that i want to start spying on my neighbors with them. i want to get a strap and have them on me at all times so someone can walkie-talkie me and tell me of something interesting and i can see whats up. i like the way things look in binoculars and that you get a new perspective on things. everything looks very two dimensional and you notice things you had not noticed before. today, while looking out my window, i realized there was this big apartment building that i had never noticed. i looked around too much and now i feel sick.

long underwear

i really love wearing long underwear bottoms. i wear them whenever i'm in my apartment and sometimes outside as well. i've also started wearing turtle necks and a GREAT pink chenille ear warmer. i've always loved lounge outfits but i've really taken it up to a new level this christmas with my thermals (that's how i think of them).

more dangerous than we previously thought

today i threw an orange from our balcony to steph on the street so she could have a snack on her way to class. i broke and dislocated her finger. sorry steph.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ILLINOIS!

Today the Land of Lincoln turns 189!

what did you do this weekend?

because we got a kitten! probably.


last night i received a call from jake telling me that he was walking down the street and he saw a little kitten in the snow (it snowed!). he went and picked it up and it was shaking and cold and so he put it in his jacket. he went over to a near house and asked if the man knew anything about the cat and then man quickly said "no" and closed to door. then jake went to a house kitty-corner (hah) that had a tv on. an old kooky lady answered the door and told jake that the cat was from the house that jake had just been to! they had had kittens and had taken some but were trying to get rid of the others, she knew. SO jake took the poor little white kitten home with him and i went over to see him.

jake couldn't take the kitty because he didnt have the time and the whole house wasnt on board for having a new kitty. so, being the kind loving type, steph and i went over again to play with the kitty. and just like the rain today melted the snow, little blanco (the name jake gave her) melted our hearts. we have now adopted her. jake is going to call the lady from last night and see if she has figured out whether the kitty belongs to someone but if not she is OURS! she is sooo sweet and mellow. and SOFT! thomas crown did not like her very much at the time of their first encounter but on the second attempt they were much more tolerant of each other. here's hopin'.

we are not completely sure she is a girl, but we think so.
