movie madness

since there's so little to do in poughkeepsie, i went out and bought a ton of DVDs. i'm always/sometimes wary of owning media because it just encourages me to be such a rereader/rewatcher, but this has been fun!

so now i own both the old and the new sabrina.

i hate showers that leave you feeling dirty

today i asked the people at the gym why they didn't provide towels (i am way too lazy/low on towels to keep bringing springfresh towels when i work out, so it's like "here i am, drying off with the towel that's been sitting in the trunk of my car. yeah gross.)

me: are you ever going to have towels?
girl: nick, are we ever going to have towels?
nick: NEVER! not providing towels is what lets us keep our rates low.

good enough for me! me who just spent an hour haplessly and recklessly monkeying around in a hip hop class. woohoo! or is it? maybe i would pay an extra $30/month to have towels.

it's all (somewhat tragically) about tradeoffs.

money vs. towels, long hair vs. short hair, independence vs. loneliness, drama vs. emotional maturity...

what's been going on even? i've been reading a lot of books that manage to mirror exactly how i feel (aloft, oblivion). i need to really get away from that.

and replacing the makeup i lost on the train last last sunday. it definitely doesn't feel like christmas. the only people i've bought christmas gifts for have been kindof societally sanctioned (giftdrives and my company secret santa). and me.

i made an amazing "biggest loser" type bet with maneesh last saturday (of course at minado).

cause ... whatchu gon'e do with all this fat, all this fat up in ma shirt?

very very sad

where is my bag?!??!

i feel all cold and a little bit icicle quiescent on the inside (that's a real freshman year throwback. holla.)

lost my bag and lost my mind

Do something pretty while you can
Don't be a fool
Reading the Gospel to yourself is fine

Do something pretty while you can
Don't be afraid
Skating a pirouette on ice is cool

Do something pretty while you can
Don't fall asleep
Driving from California to New York

Call me a prophet if you like
It's no secret
You know the world is made for men
You know the world is made for men
You know the world is made for men
Not us
-Belle and Sebastian

it's all gonna break

for me right now this is a good "walking" song, right down to the unfortunate lyrics. would've been perfect on the walk to school in korea:

When I was a kid
They fucked me in the ass
But I took my pen to paper and I passed you
Though I love the shit
Cause the shit it tastes so good
I got pastures waitin in the woods
...
I know there's several thousand things you'd rather be and rather do
And I know that you fuck what you love
And you love
What you fuck
-Broken Social Scene
