| Boo, after applying the 3mg dose of the green butterfly to my issues with insomnia for the past few weeks, i attempted a night without... i have had a busy week, i both ran and did conditioning yoga earlier today, i just thought i might be able to fall asleep on my own. sigh, i was wrong, you win this round, lunesta. looks like you'll be my bedtime companion for some time... (how is one supposed to avoid dependency if after say... 2 weeks of taking and being on a regular schedule one still can't fall asleep unaided?)
Ahh, but perhaps I should ponder Descartes' Meditations and consider that I am actually asleep right now...just dreaming of typing a xanga entry...but no, there is a shocking level of coherence between the present reality and the rest of the waking world....probably not a dream.
blah,
-j
ps- i must admit that in those groggy 10-20 minutes before the absolute concussive state, it does feel rather dreamy (no green butterflies fluttering by though). even though the actual dreams resulting from such meds, when remembered, tend to be quite unsettling....

| I made guacamole today. It was a huge pain in the ass that the avocados which the grocery store had labeled as "ripe" were still two or three days away. As a result I spent far too much time and effort (with little bits of green flying all over the kitchen) trying to mash a not quite ripe avocado. At least 2 of the 3 were decent. I'm pretty sure I have avocado in my hair now...I guess it's a relatively pleasant smell right? And all the oils and fats in the avocado must be good for my skin (since there was green smeared across my face from trying to brush hair away mid-mash)...
All that time spent mashing avocados... I could have been collecting golden bugs! Yeah, so I beat Twilight Princess but that doesn't mean I'm done playing with it. I'm pretty sure that if I collect all 24 of those damn golden bugs for agitha she will give me the 1000 rupee wallet... I originally wanted this wallet because of some extremely overpriced armor that I wanted to buy... but then I did some side quests.. got some prices lowered, now I have the armor (which looks cool but isn't very practical in use).... But man, I really want to get that wallet, it's just a matter of principle. Yesterday Joe and I managed to find about twelve of them, which was good since at that point we had only 2. So, now ten bugs away from that sweet feeling of satisfaction. I also bested this annoying mini-game so now I also have... the 100 arrow quiver, very exciting stuff. I don't know why exactly I'm posting about this, I think it's because I find it all very exciting and since I don't want to spoil anything for friends who want to play the game I can only post about non-plot related silly side-stuff... so i just did... and now I'm just a little ashamed (but proud too! i'm so l33t . . . my link could beat up your link any day...hahaha, back to ashamed). So soon it will be time for my link, aptly named "Hiro" (after hiro nakamura from heroes? anyone?) to retire... Which is perfect timing since now I can start playing FFX (a great christmas present!), which I suspect will be a more casual and less time consuming experience. (I know, I know, it's not supposed to be as good as some other ffs but having only dabbled in IV so far, I want the visual and story experience of X... XII will be soon enough) Ok, enough of this internet embarrassment... I'm off to buy tortilla chips and head uptown to have something of a mini-fiesta with csk and joe (wes and ma if they are there too). That's right folks, I always bring the party with me...
don't stop, til you get enough...

ps- KJ, i kick myself for missing your calls, we shall rendezvous on the airwaves soon enough, I'm excited for you that you got your Wii!! Now start catching up

| ...from music. Today, my dear George, who I will always love regardless of how gay he is or how many men he solicits in public bathrooms. That man can sing and he's had a hard time getting to his success... This one includes another great, Aretha Franklin.
Like a warrior that fights
And wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
Though I went through some nights
Consumed by the shadows
I was crippled emotionally
Somehow I made it through the heartache
Yes I did. I escaped.
I found my way out of the darkness
I kept my faith (i know you did), kept my faith
When the river was deep I didn't falter
When the mountain was high I still believed
When the valley was low it didn't stop me, no no
I knew you were waiting. I knew you were waiting for me
With an endless desire I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
Like the bridge is on fire
The hurt is over, one touch and you set me free
I don't regret a single moment, no i don't looking hack
When I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh (i know you do), I just laugh
When the river was deep I didn't fairer
When the mountain was high i still believed
When the valley was low it didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting. I knew you were waiting for me
So we were drawn together through destiny
I know this love we shared was meant to be
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting , knew you were waiting for me
such a fan of George Michael, I challenge anyone who isn't to purchase his two disc set "Ladies and Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael", listen to it in it's entirety and then still not be able to find something great to say about at least one of the songs.
gotta shower, i'm catching a train to DC in about two hours...jennifer out

| First of all, last night I watched the most hilarious episode of Emeril Live on the Food Network Two things were different from the standard emeril live show that really... kicked it up a notch. (hahaha) Aside from Doc Gibbs and the Emeril Live band, the special musical guest of the night was Aaron Nevel (sp?) and you know that guy is cool. I never realized that he sang everything the way he sings "I don't know much, but I know I love you...", you know his voice kindof warbling all over the place... He sang a bunch of christmas songs and I found it highly entertaining. But aside from that, the real showstopper was the guest who was sitting at the counter up front, the author of "my life as a furry red monster".... the guy who has done elmo's voice and puppetry for the better part of the last two decades! I can't remember his name exactly (gonna google it) but he was sitting there awfully close with the man sitting next to him. And they both were stylin'. Now, I'm not saying they were definately gay, they could easily have not been, but now I am considering it a possibility which is cool since I thought seseme street was very anti-gay with this whole burt and ernie having to no longer be roommates thing... I am digressing from my point though, at the end when Emeril was composing a christmas trifle who popped up to help him but the man himself... Elmo. So guy was obviously sitting behind the counter with a microphone and his travel-anywhere-with-me elmo puppet. It was hilarious because he was acting completely like elmo but saying un-elmo like things too... like when he was looking at the trifle he said "Elmo is salivating... even though elmo can't salivate... he is salivating anyway." doesn't sounds so silly as I type it, but in the elmo voice and finally knowing who the face behind the puppet was, it was pretty funny. Little elmo comments kept coming from where the man was sitting throughout the show too, it was hilarious. So, without further ado, the very hilarious, Kevin Clash:
Another random thing, happy birthday to Bob Barker! He turns 83 today, can you believe it? I watched so much "the price is right" when I was younger... I always felt proud at the end when he reminded people to spay and neuter their pets since my household was very pet-heavy and all of them were spayed or neutered... haha, w00t!
A little bit of funny Jenn-related news, for the first time in a couple years my text message and voice mail inbox are nice and empty... haha, sounds silly but I used to rarely check my voice mail and the box was all clogged up.
that's it for now, a pretty random afternoon update...
