Came home to a freezing house. The damn wind knocked our electric off yesterday and stopped the furnace. Sweet. Luckily Natl Fuel likes me.
It’ll be warm in maybe three hours. Maybe.
Kitty and puppy lovin to play together lately. We slept in waaay too late and now watching Manhunter… Will Petersen = Matthew McConaughey?
Eating Christmas leftovers on the way to work. Holy
Gingerbread-flavored coffee + Ray LaMontagne + writing a longwinded letter to Tatjana…. joy.
Digging into one of my fave Christmas presents… (although I could probably YouTube this more easily): http://twitgoo.com/ap9tu
Omelette time once again. This boy must like me or something.
Booked our hotel for John Mayer concert: the 4 star Hyatt in downtown Columbus! $43 on Priceline Negotiator. Thanks William Shatner.
Who knew that Hayley Williams wasn’t even 21 yet?! Not me.
Omelette. Kitty begging. Don’t want to work today. Snowed in.

Wonderful Christmas so far. Cozy and content. Bout to watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Dear Citizens of Erie, please remember what Christmas is for: staying home to enjoy the company of family. No going out to eat. Thank you.
My first application is sent! Only six more before January.
Off I go… GRE time. Fantastic.
If any of you want to volunteer to jump in the ring with my goals statement, I dare you.
Welp. Done with that. I tend to write too much and cheese it up so I figure I’ll have some good honest critics read and reply.
Are personal goals statements for real? I mean, …GRRR.
I drunk downloaded about fifty character soundboards last night… l
Running around all day to finalize grad school applications

I’m lovin the Droid :) I feel like I have joined the tech-world at last.
I am mere hours away from the Droid! Hurrah.
Hair cut and dyed. Eyebrows waxed. TIme to buy the Droid and my mom’s Christmas present. It’s a good day.
“Crazy in Love” is honestly one of my favorite songs of all time. Those horns?! Damn. This song is timeless, seriously.
Just bought Nate’s Christmas present… had to go big in order to even compete with his to me (CA & Vegas trip). Hope he loves it :)
Some refreshing and revitalizing poetry revisions came to me at approximately 1:30 a.m. I’ll fail my exam for this.
GRRRRRR
Every time I sit down here to revise poetry or do something remotely useful, I get cold feet and run to my old loves: my social media sites.
Ahhhhhh.
I am gearing up for the most nerve wracking aspects of this week: not tests, but statements of purpose. Autobiographical sketches. Poetry.
I love Tim Horton’s ALMOST as much as Dunkin.. almost.
Watching Erie’s Extreme Home Makeover. Already tearing up. Damnit.
Ha! Erie suuuuucks, thank you ABC for exposing that to the world.
Golden Globe noms…! Lots of movies I need to see.
…but lots that I have seen are getting recognized! Yay for @hitRECordJoe. (500) Days of Summer is MY best movie of the year so far.
My Last.fm (http://www.last.fm/user/shli7501) is looking so eclectic and wonderful right now.

When I listen to Cat Power I get unreasonably sad. I can’t ever tell if it’s because of memories attached or just …her music. Conundrum.
