there's these large bubbles over SF, Parkville, and Houston, so i can't tell if any nearby cities have visited.

if i become obsessed with something, i have to read more about it.

i'm racing through the sirens of titan- at a reading speed relatively fast for me, anyway- waiting to "tear up." not happening. i'm on page 270 out of 326. almost one book in less than a week. i disgust myself. i finally understand the layered meanings of the sirens in the title, but i don't know why he picked the sirens in particular out of all the images in the rest of the book. i'm not going to finish the book today. something's stopping me.

other than that, i'm not really reading for my neuro class, which i planned to do starting around 8 or 9 this morning.

i'm speculating that the servery has, in their kitchen, stacks/tons of boxes containing dried ziti pasta. everytime i go to the servery, they're always serving a variation of ziti pasta covered with parmesan cheese. i've gotten tired of their measly servery lines. my mom tells me to go out and eat on the weekends or shop for food to cook during that time. she's also telling me the order in which i should pursue my goals, starting first with western medical school. bitch. how did i respond to her over the phone when she blabbered on about MY future? i didn't. i let the silence say everything it needed to say. that i was angry and had no intention of discussing my goals with someone pretending to be open-minded.

it's not possible to still have a crush on somebody miles away from you, is it?

i was eating lunch along with reading the book (the cover is sky-blue frittered with a pink V, filled with several spelling errors) and felt this connection to people. japan, maryland, texas, california, and so on. that was probably at the point in the book where i was reading about the massacre of the martians and the travel to mercury. mercury used to be my favorite planet.
