she's good with her hands

IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

And by that, I mean it turns out I'm really pro at making these (wiki for ~~non-believers~~ people who don't know what these are):

(That was just part of one pot. We did several batches. It was tiring.)

Yesterday my hair felt very lesbian-boy-mom-Beatle-Vulcan-mullet but for some reason, today I feel like a straight girl with a bad pixie cut. Perhaps because I slept in a hat. Perhaps because I decided to put some makeup on.

Even though I'm not sure what to do with the bangs, I must admit the sides look pretty badass. Please excuse the awkwardly placed nose censor bars and gratuitous pictures. You know you love me.

Yesterday:

Today:

ME: Ma, I look like a lesbian mom crossed with a Vulcan or a Beatle with a mullet, but in little boy form. All I wanted was to look like a little boy!
MOM: It looks okay to me.
ME: That's because my face is okay. This is a bad haircut but I have a good face.
MOM: Oh. Right.

trimmed the bangs today

Just to continue this horrible pictureless dry spell, I would like to add that I finished Kite Runner today and... while literarily speaking (I am so not speaking English right now) I would call the symbolism and parallels and whatnot so blatantly obvious, I have to say Hosseini does plot and suspense like wow, and "For you, a thousand times over," and writers who get relationships and self-torment right are able to articulate the inarticulable.

Obviously I have a way with words.

speed demon

I don't write all that well. I just write quickly.

I like writing-based tests because other people usually can't write as quickly as I can. I am a speed demon, which gives me a ridiculous advantage during exams (but I suck at take-home essays).

Hello, ESPM.

I wish that translated to a final A+, but I am not that pro.

Apparently, I am so un-pro that I got an 84 on my logic final, which gives me a final grade of 90 point something, which bears the blemish of a minus sign. Oh well. Better than last semester, if you forget that linguistics is a sort of embarrassingly easy A. (+)

today's life lesson

remember, kids, after throwing up, it doesn't matter how gross you feel, how tired you are, or how difficult it is to focus on the tap. always remember to brush your teeth and gargle or else you will wake up with your throat burning and your mouth tasting like hell

on the bright side, my extremely awkward haircut means i don't need someone to hold my hair back when i puke (hi, ma! hi, lincoln!) also, for the longest time i have found it fascinating how throwing up is like eating in reverse... yesterday my stomach decided to rewind the saltines, tylenol, water, apples, frosted flakes, lactose-free milk, and my entire dinner.

feeling like shit,
fazed-girl

lend me your ears!

I am currently sporting something between a lesbian and Asian mom haircut, with a little bit of mullet.

I think I need to get rid of the bangs so I can look like a little boy.

Life is tough, kids.

Today I finished Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, which has just bumped Lolita down to number two on my Favorite Books of All Time list.

Also Jonathan Safran Foer makes me laugh and then cry, and then laugh through my tears, and then cry more, and maybe just because you are talented and original doesn't make your work beautiful or doesn't make what you do artistic, but it doesn't mean it makes your work ugly or what you do artless, so maybe Jonathan Safran Foer is both talented and artistic.

Also I went to my grandfather's funeral today. The thing with Chinese tradition is that you have to eat chicken, but I have trouble doing that when the head is on the plate, too. It's like it's watching me, only its face is screwed up in pain so you can see its eyes are closed so it couldn't be watching me. Anyway.

Also I love my mom.

Also I have been feeling kind of emotionally raw since Wednesdayish.

Also I miss Berkeley weather a lot because I look like a turtle right now with a thermal, a sweatshirt, and a puffy vest.

Also my next projects are Kite Runner, The Omnivore's Dilemma, Slaughterhouse-Five, and editing my closet.
