Cold shower today! In my building during the dead of winter I get the short end of the heat stick. I have suspicions the students on the lower floors have it nice and steamy wet hot. The shower water was just tepid enough to entice me inside with the promise of more warmth to come. And it did get a little warmer, so I started brushing my teeth. Then when my mouth was at its frothiest it went cold. I started to shiver and yell angry guttural tribalisms. After I couldn’t bear the icy torment any more, I was forced to get ready for class not only massively sleep deprived but chilled to the bone and toothpaste encrusted. I bundled up in three huge sweaters and two layers of fuzzy pants with a whole bunch of unique socks on each frozen foot. My dirty unstyled black hair and unflattering facial growth added the finishing touch. I felt like going down and yelling at the rental office ladies except they’re much meaner than me and would yell back better.
My Christmas scanner is now setup so here are a few pictures.

Looks like that lady statue at the museum is checking you out! ~_^ How did you like Niagara Falls? I went to university in St.Catharines which is right beside that tourist hell hole. I could never get over just how much the falls stunk! It was awful. *shudders at the memories* Though I really liked the Falls best in the winter with all the ice and the colored lights spotlighting them.
This is the first building I’ve lived in that we have our own water heater. I remember cold shower days… I’m sure you have more varied a curse vocabularly than I do though! It usually just consists of one word over and over for me.
RYC: Oh, I know about Blockbuster!! >.< Our old video store here was bought out by Movie Gallery and we hate them. So we reverted back to Blockbuster and got one of those unlimited monthly rental things. Then they changed it all around in there. *grumbles* It’s only like a two minute drive from the apartment though, so… yeah…

when i stay the weekend at the bf’s house, i always expect the shower to have icy water. heaven forbid someone flushes the toilet! to make matters worse, i leave the bathroom and have to pad through a freezing hallway to an even colder room and get dressed. if i weren;t so damn ashy, i’d forgo lotion so i could get dressed sooner.

Cold showers sucketh. On a cold morning, my shower is lukewarm because the water heater is across the apartment so by the time it gets to me, it’s all cooled off. And to top it off, when I turn on the light, it also automatically turns on the super-powered fan that sucks out whatever heat there is anyway. And it’s too dark in the morning to shower with no light (I’ve tried it).
ryc: good idea to take pictures of insects. But, um I’m a girl. Scared of bugs. Except ants and ladybugs. So if I ever run into some insects, I’ll have some buggie pictures for you! Consider that unlikely though, I’m too impatient to look for insects. Heheehee

I wasn’t cursing. They weren’t even words, just angry jumbled morning memes. I was very loud though. I have better pictures from Niagra Falls but I chose the one that I think looks ridiculous.

Niagara Falls, I have to admit, is one of the places that seems great while you’re there, but is NO good to actually live in. If you didn’t go to the touristy area (which no resident did) there was absolutely nothing to do.
I heard my New York cousins say the same thing. Seems like a lie when they say it somehow.

Alrighty. So I wanted to give your thesis a real clever title, something simply stated, but with multiple meanings, something lyrical but completely apropos, and so I trudged through all these back entries hoping to catch a glimpse of what the thesis might actually be about, and I found nothing. I seriously doubt it’s about headaches, but that’s pretty much the only common thread in all your entries. So anyway, I stopped here cuz I guess I never looked at these pictures and they had me cracking up and I figured I’d already wasted enough time as it is. I have much more fruitful ways to waste my time, like playing Sweettooth or plucking my eyebrows. In any case, congrats on finishing, good luck on your presentation. What about First-rate Secondary Structures? Or Protein Construction, Algorithms and Blues?
I should go to bed. But not until I play more computer games until my eyes hurt.
