[The first touch of youth was upon you when our eyes first met] There’s a small maroon coin tin chocked full of notebook paper love notes I keep stashed under the clutter on my dresser. Last night, for the first time in a long time, I opened it up to refresh my memory about what’s inside. I don’t often talk about my relationship with Phil because being mushy and sentimental about your boyfriend is a…
[We live in a beautiful world] Today was gorgeous. This time of the year is so fantastic. I arrived in the JUB before 1 p.m., delighted by a sign informing me that Dr. Magada-Ward’s classes had been canceled for the day. So I decided that instead of walking back to my car and driving home to wait for my 6 p.m. class, I would sit out in Peck Forest/Walnut Grove and cram for my Death…
[Don’t question my authority or put me in the dock] Not much time for a post. Just came home for my lunch hour and sat at my coffee table, eating a sub, watching more televised Iraq carnage, crying with shame and embarrassment and guilt and sorrow for what my country is doing in the name of freedom and democracy. This has to end.

[Maybe we’ll get lucky and we’ll both grow old] My head is heavy this morning with leftover cold medicine I took before bed. My dreams were stranger than usual — something to do with a talk show panel of freaks I couldn’t stop watching. I drove out to Columbia yesterday to visit my family at their hotel. My mom was watching my nephews in the pool, and my dad and brother came later to take…
[Never thought this night would ever be so close to me] There is hope. John Kerry wiped the floor with W. I’m not sure how long Bush prepared for the debate, but my estimates have his homework time at about 30 minutes. What was going through his thick skull those few times that he blanked out and stared at the camera for what seemed like ages? And did you catch the two or three large…
[You wasted life, why wouldn’t you waste death?] I didn’t kill the computer last night. I decided that to do so would be hasty. The Comcast man didn’t leave the cable internet installation disk here, and I’m not sure I would have all the necessary passwords anyway. I’m also unsure about Windows ME reinstallation. There’s not a password or code on any of my software, and the reformatting instructions I’ve read say you need one…
[And you don’t think we’ve got it so bad no more] +++Just now+++ I bought tickets to Long Island for the low low price of $215. Granted, it’s plastic money that I don’t technically have, but I am supposed to be getting some loan money in the next few weeks to blow at my leisure, because that’s what loan money is for. Oh, and for paying back the parental unit for footing the tuition bill.…
[Even if things get heavy, we’ll all float on] Today is my aunt Vicki’s birthday. She’s also having a tummy tuck. So I hope she has a swift recovery period. My mom mentioned something about my cousin going under the knife today as well, but I’m not sure of the details. But good luck to both of them. +++ Thursday is the first debate of the election season (8 p.m.). Perhaps it’s a sign of…
[It buzzes like a fridge] There is so much bad TV that I was missing. And the commercials? Shameless, the whole lot. So far the only redeeming channel I’ve found is VHI ’80s. I can’t get enough. Yesterday I rolled in the floor as “Everybody Walk the Dinosaur” was on. I remember that video from the Disney channel. But it’s completely inappropriate for a kids’ network. Not only does it jumble the facts about dinosaurs…
