moving is really stressing me out. the one way i know how to relax, seriously really relax, is to get my nails done. so i went to the cheap vietnamese place on watson (mimi nails) and had a nice vietnamese man put tips on me and airbrush a star onto my ring fingers.
i have [...]

2008 12 27 (you held me down in this starless city)

manicure and pedicure today at a new nail place. they did meticulous work.
i woke up early this morning and did a little packing. it’s so overwhelming; i would much rather sit on the couch and stare at the ceiling. i swept the kitchen, too, and last night i scrubbed the stove for 45 minutes, [...]

2008 12 22 (dear gravity, you held me down in this starless city)

it was cold and windy today, so instead of going out into the weather to get some brie and apples, i stayed home and ate leftover pizza and watched episodes of brotherhood. it’s a show about the mob, which is a point in its favor, and it stars jason isaacs, which is another point in [...]

2008 12 20 (glitter!)

i am freaking exhausted from driving still.
today i went over to rivendell to hang out with them folk there, and the baby painted my fingernails with glitter.
there was a point last night where i realized that the power had gone out while i was gone. everything in my fridge and freezer, including the salad [...]

2008 12 05 (you’ve still got me to hold you up, and i will never let you down)

pink fingernails. krista made me purple and grey wristwarmers that i’ve been wearing for days. my dad is asleep on the sofa, and his cat (a terrible brat) is staring at him, in between bouts of hissing at me.
i have spent all day watching television shows on my computer and spinning blue yarn. at [...]

2008 11 19 (& i for one can see no blood from the hearts & the wrists you allegedly slit.)

i need a manicure.
i get on an airplane in, like, 13 hours, and i am not packed or anything. i have to take out the trash and change the cat litter. i did remember to have the post office hold all my mail. it is so strange that i am basically going to be [...]

2008 11 17 (two quarters & a heart down)

hid under the blankets all day, until finally i got tired of accidentally falling asleep and having anxiety dreams, so i got up, went out, mailed a bunch of stuff, and got a pedicure. after my pedicure, i went to whole foods, and after i made myself really happy by grocery shopping, i realized that [...]

today shira and i drank a lot of coffee and worked and ate waffles and went out for manicures. shira got tips for the first time, and although they were later cut down to a very short length, for a while she looked like a dragon.

i went to this place that is around the corner from my apartment for a pedicure. it is a totally decent pedicure, exactly the kind of middle-of-the-road pedicure that one expects to get for $20 in a neighborhood like mine. the best part is that it is bright fucking pink like crazypants.

there is nothing like a manicure to make one feel at home.
plus, omg, check out my nails. they are my real nails! who knew my nails could do this themselves? amazing.
