Purse On Us

January 6, 2010

We bought a wii around Christmas, and I’m sort of obsessed with wii tennis and wii fit. I’m awful at both of them. Apparently no matter how much I like yoga, my balance is really just wretched.

January 7, 2010

Absolutely uninterested in getting out of bed.

January 8, 2010

Taken on the drive into Boston, because nothing else was interesting enough. Alex and I were going to get sushi, and I was much more interested in eating sushi than I was taking pictures of it.

2010 daily Moleskine planner (pocket).

January 10, 2010

A failed attempt at making a red velvet cake, but successful three layer chocolate ‘bon voyage’ cake for my sister though!

January 11, 2010

To-do list of the day. Mostly ordering textbooks and writing articles for a blog I interned at.

January 12, 2010

Rescued a Christmas ornament that was far too pretty to go into a basement to get dusty and dingy. (And yes, this was how late it was when we finally took down our tree.)

January 13, 2010

Had a bad day, but it was remedied by a super nice and cute Starbucks barista who upgraded my drink and gave me a free cupcake. We had a conversation about Sweet Cupcake, and I went to get him a cupcake in return, but unfortunately, Piña Colada was out of season. If I didn’t have a boyfriend, I totally would have given him a hug, but there are only so many things you can do when there’s a counter in the way, and you don’t really just hug random strange boys anyway.

Dropped sister off at the airport, hardcore creeped on people passing by while waiting with her before she had to go through security.

January 15, 2010

Spent the entire day in meetings or in a car commuting (and also what I’m convinced was the world’s slowest red line train). By the end of the day, was too brain dead and just determined to get a picture of something.

January 16, 2010

Went for a run! Sort of. My friend Emily was training for a half marathon she was planning on running once she got back to California, so a bunch of us accompanied her on her last day of training. Everyone else was much more successful than me, haha.

January 17, 2010

Best brunch on the face of the planet. Cream cheese and berry stuffed challah bread french toast, with whipped cream. Of course, at this point, it was really just breakfast food for a very late lunch, but brunch nonetheless. I guess.

January 18, 2010

Moved back to the dorms. A “what’s in my bag” was totally necessary for the day. (My camera is usually in there, but obviously, things cannot be in two places.)

January 19, 2010

I don’t want to talk about this. Scott Brown won.

January 20, 2010

Random cranes. Miscellaneous wall decor.

January 21, 2010

Got student rush orchestra seats on a whim, to one of the last showings of In the Heights with some friends. I enjoyed it, but walked away from it without actually remembering a single song (which was a first, actually).

January 22, 2010

Water bottle spilled everywhere because I forgot to close it after coming back from the gym. As a result, my entire life became water logged and I had to dry things with a blow dryer or on the window sill. A+ Friday, really.

January 23, 2010

Miranda and I were at Alex’s for brunch before seeing a show, and why Alex had his trumpet out while we were having brunch was bizarre enough (but not as bizarre and awkward sounding as this sentence, apparently), but the fact that I could make a noise out of it on my first try (albeit, an awful, dying elephant sort of noise) was also extremely bizarre.

And then he took it away from me. I can’t blame him. Or Miranda for somewhat making him.

January 24, 2010

My sister came back from London! Along with loads of sweets and things from Muji, she brought me back a pterodactyl. I’m obsessed. It dances (badly). Just like me.

January 25, 2010

Too much rain.

January 26, 2010

Alex is convinced that I don’t eat enough when I’m at school (probably true), so we usually make it a point to meet for a quick dinner once during the week. My skill in making aluminum foil hearts is apparently lacking.

January 27, 2010

Organization Technique #352 and Way to Make A Window Overlooking A Brick Wall Prettier #545.

January 28, 2010

Heavy snow. I have a love/hate relationship with the word squall. Love how it’s always misspelled on closed captioning (or at least, that’s what it seems when I watch the weather at the gym in the morning), hate the association with snow and babies (two of my least favorite things).

January 29, 2010

Too lazy to wash a dish before my 10am class, decided that yoghurt and granola from a red cup was a much better alternative. Breakfast of champions, right here.

January 30, 2010

Spent entire day working through a mountain of never ending homework. I never want to learn about the history of media again. I might cry.

January 31, 2010

Just got back into knitting – “just” being literally in the last six hours or so. Tried to make socks (failed), and am now considering maybe making a hat. Will probably be unsuccessful.
