what's on your list?

today felt like a monday. i wonder why. do you think that means i didn't do anything i should have on monday? but i did watch 5 episodes of "six feet under". totally my new favorite ... and the school library has it on dvd. sweet, i know. my school is cooler than your school.

after spending $100 on materials for a scale model that kelsey and i are constructing for the louis vuitton brief we are working on ... we decided to cheer ourselves up by spending more money by grabbing a beer at "the ivy house". the pub is right next to school and is filled with men in suits after work. they are too tired/busy/important/cold? to take their coats off or take a seat, so they hover around the bar talking to eachother. it's fun to not be like them. it's also fun to watch them. i got a XXXX since it's on the student discount menu. the first time i ever ordered a beer at the ivy house the bartender told me to get that because it was cheap. when i went to order a second (also on the first occasion) i approached the bar and asked for "a triple 4". yeah... don't ask. i wish i could say that one beer would make me say something that stupid, but unfortunately i was completely and utterly sober. the bartender didn't believe that. i don't blame him... but he just doesn't even know anything.



since i'm not one to let something like public humiliation get to me (who am i kidding...) i was determined to order it again... correctly. one goal i can now successfully cross off my list.

like the responsible students we are, kels and i said goodbye to textile design pal jen and tipped our hats to the guys in suits and made our way out to leyton. our agenda was something along the lines of:

1. go to asda (purchase chocolate covered raisins, shampoo, and maybe something for dinner)
2. make "dinner" (a challenge kels and i are rarely excited about...)
3. build a freakin' model
4. win the louis vuitton brief (that will come later)

oh...

5. eat chocolate covered raisins

upon entering asda (my second home, if you have not picked up on it by now) i grabbed a basket from the incredibly friendly "greeter" and began what was to be a "quick grocery run". "i should get some eggs... i need protein", i explained. eggs in leyton are so much more than protein... they are really a form of entertainment in themselves.





as hard as it was to turn down... i'm just not ready for a little one... so i grabbed another carton.

my bedroom looks a bit like a contruction site... which makes me really excited, just in case you were wondering. yeah, so what that the wood is actually balsa and the closest thing to a saw is a no.11 blade. glue = nails. masking tape = clamp. am i a geek for loving it? well... i don't care what you think anyway. i mean, i do... just not right now.

now it's time to let the glue dry... which is strangely hard for me. i like to see things working NOW not in a couple of hours. but i will say i'm learning patience. kind of. slowly but surely. so instead of messing with what i've done so far, i'm going to watch my last episode of "six feet under" ... and pass out.
