Things fondling/spooning my mind lately:

~The sexy, scratchy quality of Natalie Portman's voice.

~Professional athletes using ground up deer antlers as steroids. It can only able to be detected through blood tests at the right time. I feel a poem breeding.

~Having a sore throat feels like a dragon breathed fire down my throat.

~Grooveshark!

~Will Sheff's song writing abilities.

~Be awaken at 7 a.m. by a stampede of texts (which wasn't fun) but then looking at my window and it being completely blue. The sun was rising and it was like the darkness became blue. There must have been too many clouds in the sky because it wasn't really sunlight. Idk. Maybe I was just too tired, or what showing skill as a writer is not as strong as I think, but I can't of think of a better way to describe it. It wasn't really the you had to be there kind of description, but the pumping blood that is fifteen degrees colder that normal blood temperature, then feeling cold and not being able to get warm, but not being able to describe that better, then realizing that the best way to describe that is just saying the blood was fifteen degrees colder- the person was not able to get warm no matter how many layers she put on or anything else she tried.

~Girl by Jamaica Kincaid- wharf-rat boys!

~Everything that Rises Must Converge by Flannery O'Connor

~How can anyone compare the Illusionist to the Prestige?

~The denseness of Freedom. Damn Franzen. Really? I have read 530ish pages about character you don't seem to like?

~Single digit temperatures. I don't care if it's "Bears" weather, it hurts my teeth.

~Computer viruses that prevent me from putting new songs on my i-pod.

~I had hash browns tonight for the first time in months. I forgot how much I enjoy them. I feel so much healthier when I substitute them for fries. I wonder if they're actually healthier, well, from my favorite greasy spoon G.T.'s

~Speaking of fries, the waffles fries (and ketchup with a kick!) at Kuma's was a great way to send Maxwell back down to Urbana. I barely defeated the Zeppelin. Pretzel bun, burger, pulled and bacon almost killed me. But, it was the best non-fast food burger I've ever had.

~I think I pulled a muscle under my right arm pit. I don't think it should hurt to raise my arm to put on deodorant or wash in the shower.
