we have received orders not to move
isnt that nice? its from a barbara kruger. i like her. sort of. well enough, anyway. im a little bit bothered by how pretentious her work is, but hey, some of the words are just great.
anyway... its been a whole week. ive not been on the computer in a week. so ive had to do other things with my time. that was a really interesting experience... probably very good for me. the highlights:
the conservatory. went to the conservatory with mom and grandma to see the chihulys. they were so pretty... i dont know if i have a favorite. i really liked the koi pond. and i liked the big balls that were outside. it was snowing and my mom said it wasnt as pretty as the last time she was there and the sun was shining, but there was something calm and bizzarre about it that was really cool. it was overall totally beautiful. im glad i went. ooh ooh and we went through bexley and i want to live there. and i saw st. charles!! the school! it was insane, i was like, "omg its frank's school!" and then a bus was going by and robert was in the bus and i was like "aaaah its robert!" so i waved but i dont think he recognized me. or maybe he didnt see me. but yeah it made me all excited for some reason.
went to the bolton's for dinner with the parents, that was fun i suppose. it was good to get out of the house... theres only so much reading i can do before i feel slightly crazy. or bored. the boltons were fun as usual. bob, for his fiftieth birthday, decided he wanted to eat pizza from 50 different pizzerias. so we brought bellecino's pizza, which was decent. bob made scones, they were delicious. julia's still teaching piano, finally saw andrew who i thought id see at that allniter i helped at. tim was there too, of course. he's funny. taller than he used to be. we complained about our parents together, and we all played perudo. i didnt win.
most of the week i was too busy to do anything at all, but the weekend, except for those outings, has been mostly sitting about in my room reading. i buzzed through "angus, thongs, and full-frontal snogging" which was okay. not literature or anything, but a little bit amusing. i also had to read the sun also rises, which i liked pretty well. its that lost-generation literature, it just gets me going. im in love with it. and as ive learned, when i am in love with something there is nothing wrong with it at all. so i couldnt hate brett. i rather envied her. yes, im aware of how sick that is. further observations on characters in the book: poor jake. what a good guy. mike was just sort of stupid, but an absolute ass when drunk. cohn was one of those guys i just want to kick in the teeth. liked bill though. i had stopped with the clockwork orange because i wanted to focus on the sun also rises. i just got distracted by the angus book. i picked it up again today and remembered how much i liked it. werid thing about sitting in my room... ive been looking out the window a lot. i watch it snow, of course, but i look out there expecting something. nothing ever came. good way to kill time, though, looking out the window. i wonder if its still snowing right now. i like snow. should play in it tomorrow.
i just wrote a really long paragraph complete with swears about how angry i am. i decided it was too mean. cause it was. but really... all i'll say is i do NOT like to be pitied.
music: all sorts. lots of modest mouse, some cure, a little josh groban. elliot smith.
ps. golden globes were fairly boring, but okay. adult swim was much better... they complimented my bum. really!
