i've got a ticket to anywhere...

I'm off tomorrow, leaving for Boston then to Mexico the next day.. Everytime I have to leave to go somewhere now, I almost dread it. While knowing that once I get there I'll be excited and I'll have fun.. yet it's the leaving that's just a bummer. Who knew that I would have this sort of travel inertia.

A friend on mine wrote a play about someone leaving on a holiday.. somewhere you'd need a nice pair of sunglasses for. except it really wasn't a holiday, but it was really about a lady facing death. I had to blow my nose into my scarf watching the short play. Yet bringing myself to look at the reality of this 'holiday', in some sort of season of death this november and december, I find myself mysteriously dry-eyed.

it's just that some things were never meant to be. prayer is all we've got sometimes.

just a little bit more!

imagine you go for a lab party.. and it's a christmas thing with gift exchange. you get an awesome andrea bocelli cd, then someone swaps it for a plush toy sperm. haha. it was funny and kinda cute i guess..



nerdy, but kinda cute, grows on you. haha. (if you're a boy, anyway.) but oh well, it gets swapped again, for a bottle of wine. I'm not complaining. certainly rather drink this.. hoho.

anyhoo. happy holidays and yay for interesting lab parties. i'm not so miserable there anymore, i figure, even if i don't have friends per se, I get along with everyone, and that's good enough for a part time stint. :) ciao. off to studystudy land.

sadface!

“Wendy and Lucy” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). It has some swearing, a little drug use and a brief implication of violence, but no nudity, sex or murder. The rating seems to reflect, above all, an impulse to protect children from learning that people are lonely and that life can be hard.

Isn't that heartbreaking?
