So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Paris in the Fall
Friday. 2.11.11 8:44 pm
The discotheque is in the old brick cellar of a bar called "L'Antidote" on a winding alleyway in the 5e arrondissement. The dance floor is full of atmospheric scientists, doing a dance they call "The Gravity Wave".

My future boss dances his way through the gravity wave. "As you can see, Paris is a very difficult place to work," he says, kissing me on both cheeks.

"See you in September."

Pondering a move to Paris

Champagne, caviar-guacamole, fois-gras-on-a-stick....


Yup. I should probably move to Paris.


Being a planetary geologist is such a hard life.

La soleil etait plus brulant qu'aujourd'hui
Thursday. 2.3.11 12:31 am
Going to France tomorrow. I've sort of packed.

I also managed to fix the worst computer virus I have ever faced... the virus infected explorer.exe and winlogon.exe.... the fix included creating an operating system on my thumb drive, changing the BIOS to boot from the thumb-drive, stealing fundamental windows files from another computer, replacing the infected files while running linux from the thumb-drive... it was intense. I definitely sent my computer into an infinite boot loop at least twice, but luckily I was able to pull it back from the edge.

Almost sent my roommate into an infinite boot loop when I left my phone on silent and accidentally missed our ride home from work tonight... you could tell she wanted to strangle me but she acted very civil. :C Hopefully she'll also come back from the edge?

I have a small crush on this guy who lives far away but I kinda told him that and now he hasn't written me back for about 1.6 weeks. FML.

But YAY FRANCE

Sweet, Sweet Unemployment
Wednesday. 1.26.11 10:22 pm
So I'm going to be unemployed this summer (a.k.a "between jobs"), and boy, am I looking forward to it. A whole summer without any working, yippee ki yay!

I am so excited about all of the things I'm going to do, I can barely write my thesis. The only thing that keeps me writing my thesis is to know that as soon as I finish it I can be unemployed!! YAY!

Here is a list of things I am going to do whilst unemployed this summer:

1. Play the harmonica.
2. Play the guitar.
3. Play the bodhran.
4. Play the flute.
5. Draw.
6. Write poetry.
7. Finish my nanowrimo novel.
8. Read, read, READ. I have a whole separate list for this one.
9. Take a mushroom identification class.
10. Go owling.
11. Go the beach.
12. Go hiking.
13. Take a "giant ash-caldera" roadtrip.
14. Go the park.
15. Hang out at the local coffee shop.
16. Take an introductory blacksmithing class.
17. Buy ice cream cones.
18. Climb a mountain.
19. Make a music video.
20. Go on a ghost tour.
21. Watch MOVIES.
22. Finish painting my painting.
23. Make a "long-cat" scarf.
24. Take a wedding-cake decorating class.
25. Go to church.


I caaaaan't waaaaait!!

Until then, I'll just be here, working from 10am til 2am 6-7 days a week and counting eating dinner at home a couple times a week as my "hobby". :C

Listen to the Mustn'ts
Wednesday. 1.26.11 12:59 am
�Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.�

Bittersweet
Saturday. 1.22.11 5:21 pm
I erased every text that made me think of you
Each one made me think of you, as I erased them
One last time.

I erased every email you ever sent me that had any trace of kindness
There were so many kindnesses: I erased them all.
There is no record that you were ever kind.

Your flavor still lingers in sweet memories
So I will carefully dip them, one by one,
In bitterness.

Like leftover food, I will wrap them up in cellophane
Put them in the back of the coldest part of my mind
And wait until they turn bad enough to throw away.

And as I throw them away
I will think of you
Molded over, rotting, putrid.

One last time.
