today when i got to work the turkish consulate and the speaker of the turkish parliament were taking a tour. there were secret service guys all over the place. it was really really funny. the boy who sits at the info desk and i were laughing about it.

i am doing the most ludicrous things to distract myself from the thought of finals. i am having a really hard time coming up with a topic for this class where i'm kind of out of my depth. one other final is a shoo-in (regurgitate, just have to wait to get the topic...) and the other is a weekly paper and no final.

frank might come here this summer. then again, he said that last summer... and i have gotten a couple other invitations from friends... so i need to figure out what the hell i'm doing.

i might get a job transcribing interviews.

noah wyle as steve jobs = hot.

i dare you all to google "sneeze fetish." do it now.

so i've been smelling this...szechwan smell...in my kitchen for a few days. just five minutes ago i found out it was the stuff i strained out of my szechwan broth. at room temperature for a week. thank god i don't eat meat, or that smell would have been even more evil.

i have a crush, a schoolgirl crush, a blushing, sick-to-my-stomach crush. i am SOOOO susceptible. ack. i stammer in shyness.
