theoretical economics

On a final note. Sent everything out. haven't figured out how long i spent on it- need to do that so i can get some $. Also have lists of people i owe, and people who owe me. Liz(d) is right. we should just barter EVERYTHING. it would be so much easier.

cinema addendum

Can't believe i forgot what onigiri were called. Rich and Mona would 'tut-tut' if they knew...

status report

quarter of two and i learn that he's not coming in to the office at all today. That's spectacular. I really hope the UPS guy didn't need this package before noon....

i gave up and printed and bound them all. caution be dammed. I don't have time to wait for hungover frenchmen or people who don't call me back. I have things to do and I'm definitely not getting paid to sit around while everyone else sorts out their own lives. grrrrr.

on the upside, i just secured a ride home from cornland. and rediscovered my intense passion for really junky food. excited about the impending weekend, and about the craziness that is almost sure to ensue. not soo excited about going to pick up the contacts tonight, though i don't really know how to express my not so excitement to the folks. I just don't really feel in the mood for one of rich's big food productions, and i know that there will be a lot of "oh, stay, eat something, blahdy blah" when what i will be thinking is "ok, i need to get home and talk to my doctor while i pack" _{("my doctor has a first name, it's T-A-N-Q, my doctor has a last name, it's U-E-R-A-Y...)"}

frustration abounds

so i drag myself out of bed, convince myself that it's imperative that i get to work with NO DELAY get in, rush to get a first draft of the book printed and bound, and guess who's not there to look it over???

just opened up an envelope addressed to me with a large wad of cash inside. Yes, i am a dealer. Also, (yay!) i seemed to have dropped the hacking cough that i was carrying around with me all morning. in celebration i think i will make 80 photocopies and then take my coffin nails outside.

um, let's see. it's mid-october, and the weather is as screwy as it gets. right now it's something like 75 outside, while just three days ago, it was much closer to 40. looking forward to Iowa this weekend, though i have not yet bought my return ticket. perhaps i will just make a new home for myself there amonsgt the corn and the heavy drinking. Last night roomie and i discussed the march on washington on the 25^th. I can't tell if he was trying to get me not to go so that i could stay and cat sit in the apartment for his friend's cat, who is apparently shacking up with us that weekened. He seemed totally of two minds about actually getting up and going and i was nowhere near lucid enough to adequately convey the mixture of emotions and contingencies that are wrapped up in my deliberations on the matter....

Last night, went out and saw Spirited Away... it was worth seeing, i thought, but not as powerful as mononoke nor as charming as totoro. As he said "...it had a hint of disney in there."

new day, new blog.
