It's Monday
which is why I am eating cereal for dinner out a coffee pot using an ice cream scoop.
I am totally successful at being an adult.

Good Night Moon: An adult bedtime story(ish)
A Conversation with a Closet
Good-bye first skirt I picked out myself. With you came the beginning of the end of an awkward period in middle school where the only items rotating through my wardrobe were two pairs of jeans and oversized turtlenecks that my brother had rejected.
Good-bye mint green and powder blue everything. You carried me through high school and most of college, but time has taught me that we don't bring out the best in each other.
Good-bye sparkly red built-in-bra tank top, you were with me through many an awkward frat party.
Good-bye overly trendy tops from studying abroad that I never really wore again.
Good-bye fluorescent blue clam diggers, we had some good times but they are definitely over.
You can stay rhinestoned Sagittarius T-shirt that's way too small for me. You too giant red sweatshirt that I got compliments on in middle school.
Good-bye size small and x-small. Let's be honest, there was never really a chance we'd get back together.
Good-bye counterfeit Polo shirt I bought in the Philippines. I'm not sure why I thought a fake one would be a good addition to my wardrobe when I never wanted a real one. In that vein, good-bye Havanas flip-flops and Couch bag.
Good-bye belt that loops around twice. I never really figured out how to wear you.
Good-bye godawful jeans, how could I have worn you in public?
Good-bye overalls and linty shawls. Good-bye torn and overly worn. Good-bye studded belts and whatever else. Good-bye clothes I never wear and good night clothing everywhere.
The end:).

I feel like I just viewed the Matrix
I clicked that 'sign into AIM option' in gchat and signed into aim for the first time in almost 4 years.
It Blew My Mind.
I felt like I just opened a porthole to another dimension. There's a whole other world of people who are online at the same time as me that looks sort of like the world that I'm used to, but slightly different. Kind of like the goatee-ed evil people in the mirror universe in South Park.
It was too much for me and I quickly logged back into my comfy gchat dimension. My aim name is a little too uncool to drag into my mid-twenties anyway.
In other news, people still use AIM?

Same old
I think we've seen this before, anyone else remember Frank the Fish? To this day I don't leave the faucet running. I can't remember if Frank gets that credit or my parents or DuckTales.
To be fair, a polar bear affected by global warming is a lot more high concept than a fish who's lake is directly draining through my faucet. Maybe kids today are smarter than we were.
(As a slight aside: I do think these marketing campaigns work on kids to a certain extent but more as general reminders than direct messages. I don't think I ever believed my faucet was rapidly lowering sea level. I did understand that keeping the faucet running was wasteful and maybe bad for the environment, so it was something that I didn't want to do.)

Clueless
My Boss: No, where'd you find the article?
Me: Google alerts.
(I'll never be a respected scientist).
Maybe I'll start being a vegetarian:-/.

Especially in light of the fact that one of my bosses just asked me to send him a spreadsheet showing my work because he couldn't understand that I'd multiplied all the values by 4.

Location, Location, Location
Two Part Post-
Part I: a haiku
On Oatmeal
In bowl so yummy
A glob falls on work report
Suddenly so gross
I had oatmeal today, and it made me think about how location can be important to perceived worth. Something might be part of a delicious breakfast, and a mere two inches away become slimy garbage that stains your papers right before a meeting.
Part II: departures and arrivals
I'm in the denouement of my time here in NYC, and I'm starting to feel more poetic about everything. I've decided to start filming and posting all my trip departures and arrivals. Cheesy I know, but whatever, I like the way it looks. I wish I'd started earlier because I would have a pretty good collection. For now, a trip often travelled over the past few years:
Here's me leaving western Mass.
And here's me coming to NYC (I exercised creative use of the zoom so get excited.)
Here's one more of coming to NYC just for kicks.

Being a grown-up is fun
Anyway, that was a good time. Then I came home and gave my fridge a much needed cleaning. I found my ipod shuffle, a long-lost hair barrette, and something that I might have found beautiful had I found it growing at the bottom of the ocean. Unfortunately, it was instead located in one of my favorite pieces of tupperware (REAL tupperware, not reused take-out containers), which I had to sacrifice because I was too scared to clean 'it' out.
Lesson learned.
