Dedicated to my Sony Ericsson s500i:

My cellphone never ceases to amaze me. Today, being Christmas Eve, I turned on my phone to see a branch jutting from the ground. Ornaments and lights are strewn all over it. The background was red and green, and overall, the whole backdrop of my phone looked pretty, ultra cool. It all looked cheery in reflection of the season. This really surprised me. My phone was able to determine the date and change the background to suit the season, all on its own.

Furthermore, it just turned 8pm and the background changed yet again. Now it’s snowing slightly, and the background is blue. The ornaments have changed color and now there are even more lights hung on the branches.

Geez. How cheerful, I really like how my phone has all these randomly dynamic features. Good job Sony Ericsson. I appreciate the attention to details.

For some reason my g.mom has been watching a lot of BBC and Aljazeera. It feels like such an international household.

Boa’s latest single: ‘Lose Your Mind’ is way too infectious for it’s own good. The B-side track: ‘Smile Again’ isn’t bad either. She’s really coming out with good music lately. Go Boa.

It’s just a bit lonely back at home.
I look in the corner and expect to see that little bed,
but at a second glance, there’s nothing there but empty space.
A little bit more silence, a little bit less life.
A decade of habit is hard to erase, rather – adjust.
I miss my doggy.

Siiiigh

There was some extreme studying going on today. I’m glad I accomplished so much though. I love the feeling of accomplishment.

Unfortunately, on a sadder note, my apartment flooded today. Turns out the idiots upstairs left water on and then it started seeping. Now my bathroom is a bog and pieces of Jared’s room is soggy. The worst part is that now I’m forced to use Jared’s bathroom, but I won’t be able to pee nor shower in the morning because he sleeps at strange hours and doesn’t wake until the sun goes down. Isn’t that a little sick?

NEXT. I gave Pele away to Linda, Connie, and their apartment mates today. It was somewhat, moderately sad to see him go but at the same time I don’t regret it at all. They seemed to really think he was cute, and their apartment looked really clean. Hopefully that implies that they will be able to keep Pele alive for another year or so. I will visit on occasion, so there wasn’t much of a sadness when I dropped him off. Silly hamsters – never again. But I’m really glad that I found a new and loving home for him though.

Just an entry for the day toward consistency sake

Who would have thought, huh?

HAHAHA this is so horrible I just couldn’t help myself.
I have to pass it on:

Every once and a while I become reminded:

GOSH I miss Europe.

…Rather. The adventures associated with a life of travel.
Does that spring from the prestige of the action
or the thrill of knowing that I can actually survive?
Both are true. So I guess the next step in the process
is establishing a realistic career out of this.

Cogs are turning.

Urgh. I don’t know what to do.

My roommate bought a hamster last year named Pele.
I guess he was cool for the first months or so, but now I seem to be the only one to take care of it. This isn’t fair. Plus, I’m the busiest person in this household so I always forget and find Pele’s cage in disarray without food or water.

I really, really want to give him away but there are no takers. There are no outlets for me to sell him, and I wouldn’t feel right just leaving his cage next to the dumpster or something. I don’t know what to do at all.

If anything I’m the most mad at my roommate for committing to such an impulsive buy. When someone is so inconsiderate to another living being, that’s when I start getting angry. Not to mention that he just brushes the issue aside, not caring whether Pele lives or dies.

Urgh again. The frustration!
