maybe the nerdiest thing i've ever said:
“i wish our apartment had time lord science” [to make it bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside.]
and yes, we’ve started watching doctor who. upon completion of both seasons and the downton christmas special, we were in need of something new, and stephen decided to start with the doctor right before david tennant (whom i did not care for, and therefore watched while i...
sick day, day 2
accomplished over the past snotty, achey, knife-throaty two days: two plane tickets to milwaukee booked (a wedding!), two wedding gifts purchased and shipped (yay, march!) and one wedding date saved (yay, july!), at least twenty work emails answered, an embarrassing number of hours of svu watched (also some kourtney & kim, if we’re being honest), one trip out of the house (for a green...

zorba express mediterranean café / category: greek / four stars
it was a cold night and the rain was coming down hard and i did not want to move from my couch. i called zorba express and a man came with a gyro in a greasy paper bag. i paid him and he left. the gyro was good and it felt good to eat in front of the television and out of the rain. i fell asleep between the couch cushions and...
just some feelings. it is sunday night, after all.
yesterday walking from the train down henry street (from a bus just in from philly, where i spent a wonderful 24 hours with an old friend), i felt happy to be home. i felt similarly happy as our train from d.c. pulled in over christmas, and i stopped to notice these feelings only because it had been awhile since coming home to new york felt like more of a joy than a disappointment, since i had...
"engaged idealist"
(i took that test, too.)
“popular and sensitive, with outstanding people skills. externally focused, with real concern for how others think and feel. usually dislike being alone. they see everything from the human angle and dislike impersonal analysis. very effective at managing people issues and leading group discussions. interested in serving others and probably place the needs of...
(i like it when things match)
me: can you help me with my W4? i brought it home.
s: you did?
me: yes, remember? i told you i brought home--
s: oh, and you brought home the pen you started it with, and you're crazy.
me: i don't remember saying the crazy part.
s: it was there.
reading comprehension: getting worse.
i saw this earlier:
Best Adapted Sceenplay
Alexander Payne, Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, The Descendants
and thought that the second writer’s name was “fat nixon.” (which i actually think is a pretty great name…)
Then drop your salad fork like it's hot and walk... →
"what is a week-end?"
saturday was for a couple of hours of work, sofa shopping, a movie at cobble hill cinemas (tinker, tailor, soldier, spy; now i really need to read the book), dinner at home, some honeymoon planning and many eps of downton abbey.
sunday was for church, bagels, a run and some major hibernating (it was cold!), which included many more eps of downton. (full-blown addiction, not even kidding.)

"Glory" by Jay-Z →
noraleah:
Jay-Z’s song for his daughter.
False alarms and false starts
All made better by the sound of your heart
All the pain of the last time
Prayed so hard it was the last time
…
You don’ yet know what swagger is
But you was made in Paris
And momma woke up the next day and shot an album package
Last time the miscarriage was so tragic
We was afraid you’d disappear
But nah, baby...

You Won’t - “Television”

further resolved:
two serious points to be addressed in 2012, and seven shallower goals.
1. figure out some important things on the homefront (career, abode, where to settle for the rest of our lives), and then get started. 2. stop complaining about something that is bothering me, unless i am actively taking steps to make a change. i don’t like something? i don’t get to be upset about it unless i am...
26 things planned, a few things done.
on january 3 of last year, i made a list of things i wanted to do in 2011. here’s how i fared:
get married - DONE! (and: best day ever.)
run a marathon - not done! but i did run a 10K, and i cheered on the marathoners this year, so there’s hope for me yet.
take a class at ucb - this year, i promise.
read one book each month in addition to my book club pick - now i am in two book...
