the english are cute
while reading the student housing guide for queen mary university of london, i have noticed the word "nuisance" used more than i have ever seen it.
how cute.
how cute.
la la la
listening to the shins, back to high school, except that mindset is gone. good thing.
you can tell a lot about a person by watching them surf the channels of the television, noticing the pauses and the quick flips, which channels they linger on and for how long.
does everyone else have a love/hate relationship with technology? i mean i absolutely despise it most times. it is unfortunate my generation could not have lived in our parents' youth when people had to leave clever notes and trust people to be on time for a meeting. texting today provides the unconditional space for excuses. why bother hurrying a bit, when you can be fashionably late and just text someone to let them know? we still play the waiting game with telephones, but its less personal now. rather than talking to a person's face, you are sending them artificial waves of your voice through a cellphone signal. the thing i am most upset about in this rapidly increasing tech world is that books and paper periodicals will become obsolete someday, and it will be sooner rather than later. books will become antiques, they will all be made rare and we will carry our computers everywhere. i can't imagine what types of cancer we will get when not only our phones, but our computers are literally touching our bodies for most of the day. technological-tumors. yum. and, although i hate computers and their viruses and their connections and their convenience and their artificial everything, i find i need them to survive. i have to check my email to move on with my plans and life, and i use google maps almost daily to find out where in this city i am heading and what the best bike route is.
thus, we are living in a fake world. how much faker can it get?

smoooothie
Just made a suuper yummy smoothie:
2 bananas
cup of frozen berries
cup of water/crushed ice
splash of fruit juice
half teaspoon of bee pollen
=YUM.
On a different note, I've got way too much pride for mpls than I can explain.
Saw Atmosphere at the Taste of Minnesota Friday. And he is a genius man. (A man that is a genius). For a rapper to give me the chills from inspiration, that is something right there. He's great.
Also the 4th last evening was wondrous--tons of people gathered in father hennepin park and stone arch bridge to watch the fire works and celebrate. We watched from the crowded bridge lookin at the skyline :) Then Soap Factory had their 10-second film fest afterwards, which was silly and fun.
currently:
