I've got Mad Cow.

I've wanted Mad Cow for a long time. Stupid disease cost me 7$
You can buy all sorts of diseases at New World Record.
um, lets not touch that one, huh? haha

I enjoyed my little walk to the strip. My brain needed it.

I think this one is upside down.

And I merrily walked my way back with Mad Cow in a bag.

MOO.

Not everybody takes their diseases for a Elmwood stroll. I was tempted to yell "Carey's got Mad Cow" as I drove past you but thought better of it.

I still think my Mono is cuter. :p

of organization and reanimation
Category: work
New job. They want organized, I'll be organized. For some reason they already think that I am. score.

well, I am working on that :)

I went to Target to buy a calander-planner-lleather-thingy. I never cared for these things before. I pretty much have everything I need to know stuffed in my head: phone numbers, birthdays, doctor appointments and other dead lines and details. If I ever write anything down, it is for back-up purposes only. Besides, planners always seemed way too complicated and unneccessary for me.

I'll be issued a PDA er palm pilot contraption.

I'd prefer to use my Pocket PC when I eventually get around to purchasing one. I am so lazy when it comes to shopping..

So I figured a more complicated planner will work for various reasons-- as in, I will actually need to use all of the sections that are in it. I'm sure I will adjust along the way. Its red.

I need to figure out how my schedule will go.. There seems to be all sorts of crazy meetings all over the place. Some really late..

I am trying to absorb all the information that is thrown at me-- wanting to have known it all by yesterday. I know bettter.. but still, I just want to know already how to do stuff. I'll learn, I'll learn..

Need to go shopping for professional attire. I have a few things.. much of it will work, but not for too much longer. Yuck, shopping..


HA! It was (and is) really cool to veg out to a novel. My fave are psychological thrillers with a little bit of fantasy- surreal- weird shit added to the mix. Book I am reading now has to do with a genius who worked for a privately funded genetics company- -working on phasing out genes associated with sickness, replacing them with genes attributed to superior health and repair. This scientist is obsessed with staying young. Experiments on white mice demonstated success and then some. Mice that were physically harmed or developed disease, quickly regenerated back to health. Some mice that were killed, didn't stay dead for long. This was not expected on behalf of the research scientists. Consequences maninfested in extreme behavior. An otherwise docile white mouse became excessively violent after this reanimation. It became vicious and sought to kill/harm other mice and anyone who got it their way. OK, forward to youth obsessed genius scientist who is a bit psychologically off kilter as is, and decided to experiment on himself. Later-- he dies-- but not for long. He is already a violent person, and his consequential actions much like the reanimated mice follow suit-- but to a much more vicious and insane degree. bal blah blah

There is a lot going on in this book.. its fun. I am happy when I can use my imagination and wrap my mind around crazyish ideas. Its so much more enjoyable at this point then heavy theory based information that I have been stuffing my head with for so long-- and its been a couple of years since I have read a generally mindless brain candy novel. I spent the entire evening last night reading. I went to bed way too late becasue I could not put the book down. When I am done posting, I will return to the book and most likely finish it tonight.

After this little mental vacation, it is back to working on projects previosly started. I need to get organized better on that as well; make a plan to fully commit myself to a set amount of hours per week on other ventures.

alright.. going to go read.

ps (e:pyrcedgrrl) you suck. You havent answered any of my texts. :P

later tators..

what's the job? congrats!
pyrcedgrrl - 08/29/06 22:18
I have not recieved one text message from you, including the one you sent the night of the party. I'm getting the one my sister sends just fine.
jenks - 08/29/06 21:24
yeah, i'm not so into the fantasy sci-fi stuff, like wizards and dragons and stuff... but Crichton etc- the "almost believable" cool science stuff... fun. :)

you just had to be there
Category: party
party at 24 was fun.

the punch kicked my ass. It was sooooooooo good, and those who had it know what I am talking about. It tasted nice but it was oh so bad. The fruit was delish, vodka soaked and evil. (that may have been my doing.. ) I think it needs to be the official and essential estrip party drink. It went fast..

I'm sure a few pics will surface from someone. Its been awhile since I have taken my camera anywhere with me. I just havent wanted to in quite some time. Now that I have more freedom as to how I spend my free time, I will be getting out to photogragh various things. I should begin looking for another camera, as my current one is unreliable. I am not even sure where to begin looking. I prefer my next camera to have options. I am into photography and would like the picture quality to reflect that. I prefer digitial..

Had a great time talking to quite a few (e:peeps). It is always a good time!!! Had some very interesting conversations with some non epeeps as well. It really was a lot of fun. I can't even describe it. There was just so much going on, so much room to wander around in.. good conversations, gorgeous night, etc.

You just had to be there.


Finally crawled into bed shortly before 7am. shhhhh birdies.

Later on.. Elmwood festival for sustenance. Artichokes smothered in cheese layered ontop of flat bread and a small pile of ribs, (which I have never had) and two bottles of water did the job. Where were the ribs from? fat bobs? fat joes? fat somebodies smoke house... i think.

well, getting ready for bed here... If I have the mental energy, I will curl up in bed to a NON SCHOOL book. seriously, not having any school work is kinda freaking me out at random pioints throughout the day. I get these little mental twitches, thinking that I have to get focused on a project..

then I realize that I don't. very cool..

good night.. hope everyone feels well today and got home safe.

A few pics will indeed surface from someone... How about me? Like maybe the ones i posted a few hours before your post? They aren't all birds and my mom... honest! :O)
mrmike - 08/27/06 23:53
I feel fine - rolled into bed a little after 3. Had a great time hanging with you and Lee and watching all the goings on. Here's to the next one

checking in
Category: potpourri
How can you dream about someone in such detail that you don't even really know (well)-- or havent actually met????? (yet?) Its weird.. and it has occured two or three times in that past week. And why??? don't be a stranger-- show your face sometime, yo.


Trip to NYC is going to be postponed until the end of September or sometime in October. Schedules have to coincide and it also has to work around certain paper work aspects of my job. I couldn't see taking a week off from my job a few days after I started it...


I still want to go camping. I love going in the fall.. I should make it happen.

My head hurts. Its very rare that I get a headache. I thinking poking my he'd into ancient walls gave me a tumor. Outside my window I could hear a bunch of rowdy people. I think the crazy AA Meeting people were high this morning. High on what? not surre.. but they were sounding pretty crazy. I'd suggest that maybe they were drunk.. ;)

It feels strange and great to not have any homeweok or other projects to work on this weekend.

I wonder if I will miss it anytime soon?

knowing me-- yeh, probably. I am not making any future school decsions until I have a better understanding of my new job. Then, I am sure I will begin planning something..

In the meantime, I can self learn some computer stuff...


HAs your butt ever 'fallen asleep'?

alright.,. time to get dressed and start the day.

see ya later peeps :)

ps (e:leetee) CFA is the Center for Fine Arts at UBs north campus. I meant to add that to my comment to (e:paul) 's journal

holy guacamole!

Oo. Sorry, I totally spelled your name wrong and I went overboard with the exclamation points.

Hey Carrie!

Congratulations on graduation. Wow. I'm pretty jealous, especially since my cohort collectively is tired and we have four courses left.

Congrats as well on the new job! Pretty cool, even more so that you just finished school and didn't have to juggle both a new job and school for a long time.

Good luck!
