like for real sick. Not, “I just need a day off from work” sick… not, “i have to finish this homework” sick… but fever, chills, coughing, aching, etc sick.

I guess this is what I get for talking shit about flu shots… but how was I supposed to know that so many people would be inconsiderate enough to come to work/school sick? Either way, these germs have picked me up and slammed me. I just hope that B isn’t next. I wouldn’t wish this shit on my worse enemy.

I should probably mention that tomorrow is Dilla Day at XM. Know what that means? It means that Pete Rock and Talib Kweli will be speaking at XM. Remember how I’m sick? 😦

This is kinda like the ULTIMATE blower. I think I’m going to stay home from XM tomorrow and then head in for the Dilla party tomorrow night. I’m just tryna stay warm and as healthy as possible.

Wish me luck…

So my bf decided that apparently I need culture. so… he took me to the Japan Culture + Hyper Culture exhibit at the Kennedy Center. There were toys and robots and art and just lots of cool stuff. We had so much fun that we left there to get some more “culture” at a graphic design event called “X” at Be Bar in NW, DC. I got a massage and that’s about all i remembered… oooo the mojitos!!! Brown sugar mojitos!!! I was in HEAVEN.

I’m just… speechless. I mean I guess we should be “happy” that someone wants to help us do something positive but…

Arrghhh just go see/listen for yourself

Travesty

I finally feel like I’m back to normal. Alot of weights have been lifted and I think I’m ready to get back on track. I struggled with my first draft for my ALR comment, but I got it done and was told that it was a “good effort”… as opposed to the “what in the fuck is *this* crap” that I was expecting. Two more drafts and it’s all over.

I also got elected to the 2008-2009 editorial board (ie the big thing that i didn’t want to talk about). The note and comment editor position was my second choice, but I completely understand why I didn’t get my first choice so i’m only moderately bitter 🙂
Either way that means that after this summer I have only 14 credit hours left to graduate. It’s really almost over!

I also found out that the organization that I’m working for this summer has secured frequent flyer miles for me to get to and from San Francisco for the internship… this would mean, however, no driving cross country so i need to make a decision on that ASAP.

Friday night me, B, Sha and Jesse headed to NY for the DAF2 party. I got to see a lot of folks i hadn’t seen in ages and had the chance to party my ass off. Though the inherent extraness of a couple of personalities irked me to no end, overall I had a blast and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. From Jesse’s alcohol induced dancing to Phonte’s superior hosting skills, to getting to say what up to Evil Dee face to face for the first time in years… there was just a lot going on. No recap could possibly do it justice. Just like in LA DJ Houseshoes killed it… I’m rambling but it was an amazing night.

If you know someone is waiting on your parking space, do you take your time?

If you know someone is having a conversation, do you interrupt them because you feel that what you have to say is more important?

If you know it’s raining/sleeting/sweltering/snowing/hailing/etc outside, do you leave your boyfriend/girlfriend to fend for themselves in the elements while you sit at home eating oodles of noodles?

If you know your boyfriend/girlfriend is sitting at home waiting for you to bring them dinner, do you go 1.5+ hours without letting them know that you were delayed and the only way they find out is when they call because you made no attempts to let them know?

If you know that… I’m just gonna stop. I’m annoyed… and hungry… and this isn’t helping. I think *i’m* about to have some oodles of noodles my damn self.
