writing the "title" for this blog suddenly reminded me that i have an american dime for my brother who collects coins. not just american ones. i got him italian ones when i went to italy too, and he has some stuff from my germany trip as well. i think. plus francs. french and swiss ones.

anyhow what this blog is really about is the dedication of my brain power to creative but ridiculous things. i mean, i'm working a 9 to 5 job, no longer in school, not reading AT ALL because when i come home from work my body says to me EAT then SLEEP not READ. which is a pity. my brain will be dead long before i am.

in any case this entry is short because i have not yet packed to travel to london and i must do that. or else i shall never SLEEP.

the new word is my creation for what is generally known as "fart". this is dooce-worthy. wait for it.

"ghost poop".

the couch is grey. greyish-green. a suede material, not too puffy, pretty long. the colour description calls it 'sage'. it is not a sage couch though. haha.

tony is here. it's very grey outside. a gorgeous sunset (moving from golden yellows to soft pinks, all hitting the buildings that constitute our, ahem, view). it looks like it might actually storm for once, though.

i was just typing while looking out the window (completely unconsciously, of course.) until t said, "showoff". oops. see what happens when you train young humans to type when they are young? spoiled. and i can even spell properly when i'm not looking. disgusting.

we had gnocchi for dinner tonight. along with my other odd pronunciation quirks from childhood, gnocchi is one of the words i cannot break. i pronounce it 'nochi', instead of 'nyoki'. if that makes any sense. at least i pronounce aisle properly now. (that was kind of embarrassing.)

ok i'm off. tony just corrected my spelling of 'ynoki'. seems as if i will never beat the mispronunciation complex i have in relation to gnocchi.

we have a couch!!!!

ahhh talibah. you are so right. i am WAY to close to the monster at the moment to see anything properly...i can only react to my body's responses, and my body is saying, "GAHHHHHH!!!" i wish i could find that time to breathe, to rest, to relax, to gather my inner resources and feel whole again. life seems to be whisking me along at a breathtaking pace these days though, so i think i am going to have to wait for my respite even longer than i anticipated. i got a job at the hummingbird in the marketing department, which is great, but it starts tomorrow. these past few days i have simply run errands, tried to unpack, and today i am stuck at home waiting for a couch to arrive before 2 PM. hopefully. things are slowly trickling to an end, though, and new things are beginning to sprout up. it's odd existing in 'in-between spaces' in life. disorienting and necessary...

it's grey outside - i wish the weather would bite the bullet and just decide to STORM. we've already been waiting a day and a half. my apartment walls are sweating.

i'll post again soon - after the couch arrives. i have no idea what it looks like...tony chose it with his dad. all i know is that it's big and it's grey. (i hope they don't deliver the wrong couch, cuz how would i know if it was wrong or right? unless it was bright pink or something. that would be difficult to ignore.)
