So...I've been looking at Jude Law pictures online, and I am starting to wonder whether he was a big commodity for the gay male population before he got well-known b/c of Cold Mountain. There are these shady pictures that sorta freak me out, like of him touching his mouth sexily, or sprawled on a bed in little boy's underwear with his legs wide open...I mean, these positions seem more what guys want, say, JLo to be in rather than what girls want to see Jude Law doing. I'm just saying--I got a little uncomfortable looking at them...

I braved torrential downpours today to get to my lab class, to only get a rude, socially inept TA, and...to leave an hour and a half early. Actually I think I came out with the better end of the deal, because all my TA got was soaking wet, bored me, and he was still there when I left. hahaha.

It's getting crazy windy outside, there was just a fire drill and I looked out the window and thought it was a tornado alarm. Some of that confusion might be attributed to the fact I had less than 4 hours of sleep last night.



"I have drawn blood from the neckline when vampires were in fashion

You know I'd even learn to cut my throat if I thought I could fit in

Cause I once heard that you gotta learn how to blend in to this mess

Where nothing's hard, nothing's precious and nothing's smooth or flawless



Now I'm 10 miles in the deep and mighty blue sea

Looking back, towards a long white beach burnin' up into yellow flames

And I just wave back like a little boy up on a pony in a show

'cause I can't fix something this complex any more than I can build a rose



I'd rather bleed out a long stream from being lonely and feel blessed

than drown, laying face down in a puddle of respect"

-Jakob Dylan

To think--it was 3 or 4 years ago that Justin Iglehart mentioned something about Alicia Keys' hotness, and I blew it off, saying, "Man, I am totally hotter than Alicia Keys," not even knowing who the heck that was...I just saw the "If I ain't got you" video two nights ago and am now totally obsessed with that song, and I have to say, Justin was right, she is pretty hot.

This is going to have to be one of those catch up blogs.

Got back to Austin on the 22nd of August, interesting things:

23rd-Went to Elissa's apt. to hang out with her and Lawrence and have dinner

24th-Barton Creek with Aaron and Jimmy with an underwater camera and goggles.

25th-first school day : (

27th-carnival and playing frisbee at Elissa's with her bf Aaron, and Lawrence. My Aaron showed up for the fireworks and free food only.

28th-Schlitterbahn!!! We only got the midday passes, though, which means we got there at 2:00 pm and it started raining like crazy at 5:30 pm, so what is that, about... $ 6.50 an hour? And we didn't find Boogiebahn until 5:00 so we didn't a chance to boogie board...lol the names at those places. When it started raining, it got really cold and we were all in bathing suits so it was a miracle we didn't all catch pneumonia. After we finally caught the bus back to where the car was, we sat on towels all the way back to Houston with the heater blasting (in the middle of summer, that's got to be a first) and then we went to Chili's to eat and had to take turns changing in the car. It was insane how much we ate...

And that's about it, except a few days in that time, I fit in 5 hours of working at downstairs Jester for the poster people for $50 dollars credit for posters, I got a Phish poster mostly for the picture, because it's a painting that looks really good even if I don't really listen to Phish, and also an enlarged photograph of "The Poet's Walk, NY" in which it is raining and it has trees in it, so that's what's up on my walls. Also a Swingers poster for Aaron and a White Stripes poster for Jimmy. It was sorta cool, working, even though it definitely taught me that there are more stupid and rude people in the world than I previously would've expected, but it was something new.

Also--somewhere within that time, I took one of those montage pictures with Aaron in one of those photo booths, and the pictures look like something from a movie, I guess it's just that those pictures have shown up in so many movies characterized as something awesome people do, so that was a thrill for me...ha ha : )



Alright, the end finally, my parents are coming up today to drop off my sister to hang out for the wknd, and it's time for my shower.
