Egads. I don't really do much these days. These days I seem to mill about reading crappy novels for class. All of that was said in an out of tune German voice. Of course. My skin has been breaking out and I've been craving chocolate, so we all know what that means. I love how pregnant women get to say "I'm eating for two" and then eat a copious amounts of weird shit. I want to justify gorging myself by saying "I'm eating for my hundreds of un-fertilized eggs!" Yeah, I think I will. Okay, well, I guess I'm supposed to tell you about what I did today. I read more of "Ceremony," which I still don't like but is making more sense. There is this whole theme in it about these Mexican hybred cows that his uncle buys because they can survive better, and since the protagonist Tayo goes on this mission to look for them it shows the correlation between them, because as we all know cows represent the maternal and Tayo's mother died when he was young. Incidently, Tayo is also part Mexican. Wow, perhaps the cows are a personification of him. Yeah. I think so. So pretty much there is all of this inter-connected stuff in the book that hurts my brain since I'm pretty good at seeing this stuff when there isn't that much of it, but now with Marmon Silko's obsessive symbolism it's just too much. Okay, that rant is over. I also went to In and Out Burger with Mary today, possibly for the last time in 3 months. Look at me. All moving away and shit. I finally got a lightbulb for my desklamp, so that is nice. And that is about it. I'm having a going away party tomorrow, which my parents and our close family friends are holding for me. It is incredibly nice of them to do so. Lots of good food to be had...Symposium pizza, drool...oh yeah. I'm getting my hair cut as well, which I couldn't be happier about. Unfortunatly my roots will probably show through more and I will need to redye. I'm thinking about doing a bright brown that matches my natural color but well, brighter, and then doing highlights. We'll see. I'm going to go test some cheese for quality purposes, since it was left in the ice chest in the back of the car for a few hours. ROFLMAO is the new live long and prosper. Oh yeah. I wish I had a good photo-editing program. Maybe a Mac version of Photoshop will fall from the sky and into my disk drive.
