I've been listening to way too much American Analog Set. This song does it for me.



Yesterday was Valentine's Day. It was pretty weird serving couples late night coffee all night. Also pretty depressing since most were dressed up, coming in after their fancy dinners. To make things a bit worse, my coworker was brooding, telling me he was going to probably die alone and never meet anyone. I guess he really wants to get married and time is "running out."

But all in all I had a pretty awesome day. I didn't pass out in any of my classes. Juvana gave me a cookie (which, I guess, is less gay than what I've said to her lately-- "What can I say, I have a thing for cute white boys!" "I'm not a cute white boy. :("). Dan surprised me at work with shrimp flavored stuff, then beat me in Mario Kart.

I've been reading a lot of E.E. Cummings as it's probably right around that time and season. This is my favorite poem at the moment.

maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach (to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles,and

milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
it’s always ourselves we find in the sea.

I am terrible and conclusions so I'll end with this: I really can't wait for spring break. Hibernation, here I come!
