the Sunday before second week

  1. Conveying: Coldness
  2. The Saying: "It's filled with useless riccatta chese.... like my soul!" - Johnny Northside, pd

Man, it's cold in here. I want the new layout that's sitting around in my head to be here already. That's what I should've been spending the afternoon doing.

The afternoon. I had hoped to clean the bathroom and make myself a pair of gloves. I got the pattern and the bases for the two gloves finished (hee!), but couldn't use the sewing machine because Alice is asleep on the couck and I don't want to wake her up.

I just realized that it's a little strange that I live in a triple that has two residents and about four people living in it. As Dinesh pointed out, it's a lot of numbers.

Dinesh is now an assistant projectionist. Clap.

I tried calling Lisa today, an event surprisingly unfrustrated by the fact that I've lost my datebook. I hope it's at my Uncle Tim's house, but I really can't say. The calendar part is almost useless by now, but it's got telephone numbers and quotes and other things I'd like not to lose, but it's not so bad. That's why todays' quote is listed as 'previous date' instead of having the date previously referred to mentioned.

Lisa's phone doesn't accept blocked calls. By the time I found out my area code, so I could enter my ten-digit number and get through, I couldn't get through. And when I could get through, I almost couldn't remember the number, and her line was busy. So when I call her some other time and apologise for not calling her on her birthday, I'll just say that I couldn't get through because the line was busy and I'd lost her number anyway. Gold.

It's not that I mind Alice half-living in my room. She's not intrusive, or rude, and she's so friendly and polite all the time. Nor do I mind Igy coming in every week to cook steak forty different ways and watch movies when no one is home. And I don't mind Eric not having moved out yet, since he shouldn't have to, anyway. What bothers me is the fact that I'm irresponsible enough to read Catch-22 and put off the Japanese homework that wasn't assigned until the morning, when I will promptly and without hesitation not do it.

I could've been doing it now.
