Beauty And The Beast

Soooo, my horrid family drags me to the zoo today. And almost immediately, unforeseen complications arise. Seems my brother, Pavel, wants to ride the swan boats *, but his girlfriend, Michelle, won't do it (because she's afraid she'll get "sea sick"). And he doesn't want to go by himself, fearing...

The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Soooo, as many of you may know, I'll be leaving New York at the end of the month and heading home for the summer. However, before I do so, I desperately wish to display my gratitude to my aunt and uncle for their tremendous hospitality during the past semester. And I ask you, what greater gift could... Sign in to see full entry.

A Slightly Awkward Encounter

I wish my aunt had told me someone would be coming in today to check the wiring in the kitchen. I mean, I would have made a pot of coffee or something. Or at least I wouldn't have screamed when I saw him. Or kicked him in the groin. Sign in to see full entry.

Air Conditioner Day

Soooo, this morning, I receive an email from my brother, Pavel. It consists of only a scant four words, and yet brings back so many mixed memories: "Happy Air Conditioner Day" You see, it has become something of a family tradition to celebrate the first day each year that the air conditioning is...

A Woman Of Principle

Even from an early age, I've always been a woman of tremendous principle. I can remember this one time, in fourth grade, I told a boy I would never ever speak to him again (because he wouldn't let me have a sip of his juice). And so I didn't say another word to him the entire rest of the year. In... Sign in to see full entry.

My Mother's Day Tribute (Well, Sort Of)

Soooo, anyways, my family and I spent most of the day at the Dad Vail Regatta, which is (supposedly) the nation's largest intercollegiate rowing event. I guess the best way I could describe it to you is to say it's the aquatic equivalent of watching paint dry. (In fact, horrible as this may sound,... Sign in to see full entry.

An Evening At The Guggenheim

Soooo, in an effort to unwind following today's (brutal) test, Manon and I decide to take a stroll down to the Guggenheim. I'm still a little angry with her, actually, for not going along with my plan to disrupt the class (and thus delay testing until Monday). MANON: You were serious about that? ME:...

Why I'm Not Posting Tonight

Sadly, my regularly scheduled post will not be seen tonight. I know, I know... I'm devastated, too. However, you see, I'm having to pull an allnighter because I have this big test coming up tomorrow, for which I am woefully unprepared. (Kids, let that be a lesson to you.) Have no fear, though! This... Sign in to see full entry.

Detecting Mental Illness Before It's Too Late

I've been told that if you're talking to someone, and the person constantly avoids making eye contact with you, it's a clear sign of mental illness. Though I'm not sure for whom. Sign in to see full entry.

"Munchkins"

I think it's always a mistake to confuse children with tiny adults... because those are actually called "dwarves". The reason I bring this up is that, on the way home from school today, I stop in Dunkin' Donuts *. And you see, they have a midget working there now. A very dark and frightening-looking...
