asthma

I read today in the paper that they're attempting to ban over-the-counter inhalers, such as Primatene, that contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) because they harm the ozone layer. I'm sorry, did I miss something? We're now going to try to ban inhalers that people use to breathe, often because they can't get a prescription and/or don't have health insurance, because they harm the ozone layer? Since when are we so concerned about the ozone layer that we will ban INHALERS? It seems to me that is like putting on one of those teeny weeny bandaids when you've cut off your finger. How can people still drive around in their huge SUVs, wasting gas, or say that they're going to drill in Alaska, or keep dumping pollutants in rivers, etc. etc. etc. etc., but we're banning inhalers? I think that the government needs to get some priorities straightened out really quickly.

Oh, and I also read that people were sueing James Frey, the author of A Million Little Pieces, because he alledgedly embellished in the story. They're sueing him for, what was the phrase, "the lost value of the readers' time." Please. That's why it's literature buddy, it's supposed to be embellished. If you sued every time you felt you were due for lost time, I would be rich. Next thing you know, people are going to be sueing for traffic jams. Honestly, what is the world coming to?

Hightlight of my day: Seeing Tchernio roll up to class on a motorized scooter

Lowlight of my day: The quiz in that class

I had my first IM soccer game yesterday... Hadn't played since last year. Ha ha. It actually wasn't too bad, and the best part is that I'm not sore today. Woo hoo. Last year, I don't think I could move after the game... So it's always a good thing when you don't hurt. Although my knee is in some pain, don't know what from though. And some guy during the game kept molesting me. So I stomped on his foot a few times. Oops.

Went to mass last night, and they had the Bishop of San Jose, and someone who heads up the Jesuits in Cali, Arizona, Hawaii, and some other state there. It was nice, but LOOOONG. We didn't get out until about 11:30. So, I was pretty tired when I got home.

Aaaand......

SEAHAWKS WON!! Wooooo hoooo! We're going to the Superbowl!! Ha ha! Yes... I'm a little bit excited.... awesome... first time ever... I love Seattle...

ciao

i like lists

Why today sucked:

• had another crisis about what I'm doing with my life (seems to be a recurring theme)
• forgot to change into a sportsbra for the gym...
• have masses of schoolwork to do and no time
• this makes two nights in a row that I couldn't sleep

Why today was awesome:

• talked to Jeff
• got some pictures from Todd that I've been wanting
• got a phone call from Todd, who has Verizon (so we can talk for endless hours)
• I am making mac and cheese for dinner
• saw both Mary and Gabalabs
• I made Marzia's pomodoro sauce last night.... I'm still proud of it
• because I couldn't sleep last night, I got more reading done in Room With A View

pomodorini

I would just like to say that today I made pomodoro sauce, ala Marzia... It wasn't nearly as good as hers, and I didn't have garlic, but dang, was that sauce amazing... Cin cin Marzia

Well, last night the Haus had the second-annual MLK day party, complete with lots of politically incorrectness. Unfortunately, Nick was not in attendance so we did not do a speech-reading, but it was still fun. Not the same without Jeff, of course... We did play Martin Luther King's Cup, which was great. Until Mike decided to make a rule that everytime someone pulls a card, they have to insult Galen. Not fun. Oh well. Still fun.

I have tons of reading that I have to do... Not looking forward to it. At least our dryer is fixed now! Ha, well, I should say that at least the breaker is on now. Ha ha ha ha. Anyway....

Ciao!

Brynn and Phil's wedding was beautiful. Brynn looked so gorgeous in her dress, although she always does look gorgeous :) It was so nice, and fun to see everyone. And all I can say is... finally. Ha ha. How long have we known that Brynn and Phil were going to get married? A long long time. They are so perfect together.

The only unfortunate part was when I was made to go up and sing, when I had no idea that I was going to be singing. Ah, oh well.

And now I have blisters on my feet... :)

It was good seeing Kristin again though! Yay. I need to go visit her sometime soon in Hawaii, methinks...

K, time to read... Ciao

Ridiculous

Well, classes have commenced. I decided not to overload this quarter, although I think I could have managed it. Now I'll have extra time to work on Historical Writing... Awesome!

I went and declared my English minor today, and at the same time dropped my Psych major. It just makes me frustrated that I couldn't have figured this all out sooner; I really wish I had been able to add an English double major. Oh well. I'm considering adding a Women's and Gender's Studies minor as well, but we'll see about that one.

My classes look all right, and I love reading all the poetry in English 21. My Last Duchess (Browning) is still one of my favorites, I think. I've also started reading Ariel (Plath), which is good. I love Plath. Been working out, which is nice... burning off all that Italy food. Other than work and working out, nothing much else really. Just seeing old friends, etc. Reading takes up the majority of my time, although it is interesting... Okay, now that this post is thoroughly boring... I will stop

Ciao

PS my Dialogues Between Science and Religion teacher has one nostril that is noticeably bigger than the other... I don't know how I feel about this yet.

the 408

Well, I am finally back down and settled in Santa Clara. My furniture all got assembled, mostly thanks to Jeff... But I must say, I am mighty handy with the screw drivers and wrenches. We got my desk and the dining room tables and chairs all set up... I even did my desk chair all by myself. I know, I know, I'm awesome.

New Years, we went over to the Haus and man, it was good seeing all those guys again. Good times, as always, and it was nice to have Jeff there to ring in the New Year.

Just been lounging around, mostly. It's been raining and gross out for the past few days, although yesterday and today were fairly nice. We watched the entire second season of 24, it was awesome. And, I now only have one more small box to unpack before everything is done. Thank God! Ha ha.

Jeff left today, which pretty much Sucked, because I won't be seeing him for, oh... 6 months? I am not happy about that, but my parents will be pleased because I am in the process of becoming the hugest hermit/book worm in the world... Even more so than before. Straight Alpha plus plus pluses... right you Oxford scholars out there? ;) Okay, time to watch some Family Guy.

Ciao

Ps. I want some of Marzia's pomodoro sauce right now
