。。。cheer up! (in okinawan dialect)
speant about four hours hard-core cleaning the house. the stove and the elephant bathroom got scrubbed the most.
it was a needed cleaning. literally and metaphorically speaking.

Sagittarius - October 2, 2009
A large assembly of forces is gathering at this time to make a bold statement and an important pledge, dear Sagittarius. This is the kind of movement that brings together entire generations and unites people to form a revolution of some sort. Put away the petty issues, and think on a global scale. Educate yourself about what is going on in the world, and take a more aggressive stand in fighting for what you believe. A small group of intelligent individuals can make a tremendous impact.

now that it's october, i'd say it's fair game for halloween decor.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
made a lot of good purchases today:
new vaccum cleaner
new (small) camera
a year past due t.v. remote
socks for work
pinking shears
lots of other small shit i needed
sad but true.
in only vaccuming the downstairs, my room and the extra room, i had to empty the vaccum cleaner THREE TIMES! disgusting. i guess that just goes to show how much the old vaccum did not pick up in the last three years (and however many years it was here before that...)
but the house looks (and feels) great.

nobody said it was easy.
...no one ever said it would be this hard.
click: the scientist.
an oldy, but goody. i lovey.
(an avril lavinge version. )
interviewing lots of okinawan people and attending the okinawan dance class at uh (which i want to take!) really made me "home" sick. ...if that is what i am referring to as "my home" since i really ain't got one.
i want to go back. i miss "the good 'ol days" :\
and the more days that pass, the more memories which are lost. i think it's time to start writing down my okinawa memoires.(something my ma has been telling me to do for years now)
and looking back of course there's so many more things i wish i would have done, places i should have gone, etc. while i was there. i must go back.
minor in japanese...??
when i lived in okinawa sometimes local people would think/say i look like avril lavinge. ha. its really only because white girls are few and far between.
i have a sudden bad cold. it sucks:
no more making out with randoms. (just kidding, i'm pretty sure it's not what my cold is from)

Sagittarius - September 29, 2009
If you are still using the old shovel and rake out in the fields, now is the time to upgrade, dear Sagittarius. Get that big piece of machinery that will plow all the acres in no time. In a nutshell, think about ways in which you can be more efficient. Feel free to invest in those things that will help make your life easier and more comfortable. Most likely, the natural flow of the day will take you to exactly where you need to go.

one of my favorite things about fall is that at starbucks they get pumpkin spiced lattes and frappacinos. today a got a p.s.'d latte, was all stoked, took a sip and then realized i can't taste anything since i'm sick.
i was riding to school on the bus today (which is actually not that bad these days and actually pretty interesting) and then a lovey-dovey couple sat right in front of me whispering and snuggling and shit.
i remember when i was cold.
now i just have a cold.
saw the elvis-dress-up guy again on the bus today. it was strange because although it was the same bus (3), it was at a different time than the last. also i was pretty much standing right in front of him today. saw that his black hair is like spray-powdered in or something.
and the asian kid next to elvis is passed out.
i've brought my headphones with me on the bus for two days and finally pulled them out towards the end of the day. i untangled them and then realized sweet little olive had chewed off the end with the plug.
p.s.
failed my math exam with flying colors. and have a whole paper to write by tomorrow (i think i can put off until the early afternoon).
on a better note: the bug should be running fine and dandy. we will find out tomororw.

Sagittarius - September 27, 2009
Today may start out being a very frustrating day, dear Sagittarius. Be prepared! Some equipment with which you work might suddenly go out of order, and it could take a while to get it fixed. A temporary separation from a romantic partner could also be disappointing. You may have a lot of physical energy for which you have little immediate outlet. Take a long walk. This could not only provide an energy outlet, but clear your head as well.
MSN Astrology
...yup.
i think it's best just to keep to myself for a while, as much as possible anyway.

stuck on the side of the road on saturday.
again.
so i decided to change purses but my wallet would not fit in this smaller spanish-style one made in equador. instead of the big wallet i took a little coin purse only bringing along necessities: i.d., insurance card, check card and j.rak's AAA card.
somehow, just somehow, i knew to bring the AAA card.
woke up early to interview a lady for journalism but the bug stopped working just as i was going to exit the freeway. luckly i was able to use j.rak's free tow.
got home.
got two-twetny-five in quarters and took the bus back to town but besides being like twenty minutes late, the ride took foreverrr because there was a parade which meant lots of traffic and people. so i was late for work, but when i got there they said i no need work, and i didn't feel like working anyway, so i left. since i didn't work and didn't have any cash, i borrowed $2.25 from tone and took the bus back home. got about half a books reading in today, enjoyed the day as much as possible upon the circumstances.
thought long and hard about getting something more dependable.
idk.
at least i cancelled all kine meetings, plans, etc. i had for the rest of the day.
well, besides the meeting with mary.
went to sleep early.

free on friday.
three bottles of wine and then some during girl's night is most definitely the reason i woke up an hour late for work today and no longer need to go in.
eh, i need a break anyway.
i'm pretty sure last night was the first time i was ever making out outside of a bar with a random i met inside.
oh wait, second time.
hussy.
peter, paul and mary. mary just passed away sept 16. click: ny times.

Sagittarius - September 25, 2009
You may feel as if your powerful emotions are getting in the way of your dreams, dear Sagittarius. Or perhaps you are finding that you are so wrapped up in a particular vision of the future that you are getting lost in your own mind. You are losing touch with the present simply because you are so focused on a nebulous idea that does not even exist yet. Take a giant step back from your current mindset, and reevaluate the situation at hand.

t-t-t-tuesday.
took the bus all over today, except home. domo n.cabizzle. i think he thinks i'm weird.
saw a man on the bus who had an elvis looking head (hair, face, glasses, etc.) he was even wearing black 50ish looking clothes. i don't know if he was an elvis impersonator or just someone who likes dressing like elvis.
i'm hanging out with darren,
i don't know what i'm wearin'.
(...not that i'm carin'.)
Sagittarius - September 22, 2009
You have a kind of creativity that knows no bounds today, dear Sagittarius, and a kind of originality that knows no limits. How are you going to go about expressing this rich creativity that is so abundant inside of you? If your environment doesn't allow you to express this creativity, change environments and try to make a new reality for yourself. This is the only way you will be able to use this incredible energy productively.

cooking with court: casserole.
since we are trying to eat more healthy and not waste so much money on eating out, dab and i are starting to cook. (she mostly, i learn)
according to wikipedia, cooking casseroles was especially popular during the 1950's although around since the early 18th century (18th century is 1701-1800).
all the veggies we used except the broccoli came from the farmer's market.
ingredients:
-chicken (we used already baked kine. either already baked or not already baked is fine, but less cook time if food is already cooked.)
-mushrooms
-spinach
-broccoli
-stuffing
-cream of mushroom soup
-cheese
procedure:
-chop veggies. boil veggies beforehand (fo mo easy way)
-sautee mushrooms (and onion, if like)
-follow instructions on stuffing to make
-boil cream of mushroom soup and 3/4 can water
-in the casserole dish, layer the all ingredients: meat, stuffing, veggies. "broc on top"
-pour cream of mushroom over casserole
-sprinkly with cheese
- cook until cheese melts or desire temp (since it's basically already cooked)
we used two 9x5 pans. froze one for later. we're smart ladies ladat.

Your curiosity and creative energies may be stimulated today by information that you receive from books, TV documentaries, or conversations with people who are familiar with the field you're exploring. As a result, dear Sagittarius, you could come up with an innovative new project that could keep you and some colleagues busy for a long time. But don't worry; this enterprise should be full of surprises and therefore anything but tedious. Roll up your sleeves, and get to work!

The motives of a colleague might seem rather sinister today, dear Sagittarius. This person has a definite agenda of their own that might not give any consideration to the needs or feelings of anyone who could conceivably stand in their way. This person is not to be trusted. Don't make excuses for them. The best course of action at this time is just to stay out of the way. That's the only way to protect yourself on all levels
MSN Astrology
...i will keep my eyes peeled.

quick update:
ics class is pau.
bbq at sandy's before work.
work=eh.
got a "happy fall" box in the mail from my mama. she sent me some fallish placemats, napkin holders and fallish-colored candle. see where i get it from?
i haven't been napping so much lately, and i'm okay with that.
i can't believe it's almost october. i love decorating for halloween. i usually do it too early because i'm too excited. we'll see what the roomie agrees with.
am i really going to be tinkerbell for halloween? omg.

sweetness, sunset and saturday.
took off work tonight.
went to a wedding reception at a "phat" house on the beach. it had a dope reggae band and an amazing view with a beautiful sunset. oh yah, boose and food, too.
although i didn't know the couple very well, the speeches made me get a little teary-eyed. they just seemed really happy.
sept 19- "jen and eddie day"
came home around 10 p.m. to be lame and pass out. woke up around 2 a.m. and felt quite awake so i decided to stay up and play pretty much the only song i play on the guitar these days (i need to work on that) while singing along with my raspy voice (quietly...but still hoping you would somehow hear it over the boom boom pow).
almos pau with my online class. two more exams which i will fi-ne tomorrow.

wasn't feeling too hot on the boat. or acutally, i was feeling too hot on the boat and bloated. eww.
it was nice to come home to a homecooked meal and relax on an evening where i don't have to go to work.
driving to work in the evening sucks...i always just want to keep driving and never go back (to work, that is).
some h.w., and now a bbq?
i really wanted to do more school work online, but i obviously need a password since it's not letting me in...and so i'm waiting for a reply email from my teacher.
jeeez.

A project initiated by a group with which you're affiliated could keep you very busy today, dear Sagittarius. You might have to spend a lot of time on the phone, or running around in the car to Sagittariusries, bookstores, etc., obtaining information. A close friend or love partner might choose to accompany you. You're likely to be feeling very strong about whatever you're doing so expect a gratifying day. Spend the evening with someone close to you.

digital recorder lessons learned.
-it's always better to have one than to not have one.
-no need to erase anything at the moment because you may accidentally end up easing everything (as did i).

perks to having a digital recorder.
-the obvious, for interviews it helps so much.
-cutting down the notetaking in general.
-can take notes while walking, driving...even working if you wanted to.
-i can record myself and see how i sound saying something before i say it. then maybe i won't say as many stupid things?
-time/date automatic.
-can hear how i really mean to say something.
-recording people, duh.
-can hit on guys with interview questions (just kidding...) but if i did i couldn't forget their name because i'll have it recorded and probably need their email address just in case, as well. ;)
-if i hear a song i really like, record.
-you never know when you will need one.

twosday.
late last night (early ass in the morning actually) when i went to sleep, it was perhaps the best my bed had felt in a while. i had been taking sleep for granted.
i've been playing with my recorder all night. watch what you say around me...
click: by yourself. (find the song title and click it.)
got 49/50 on my math exam. chee hee. we've moved on from logic to something else i can't even remember the name of and now i'm confused again.
i've been having some crazy dreams i can't really remember much of. small (scary) blurps of them just pop in my head sometimes throughout the day.
