So either this chest pain is nothing, or my birth control gave me a blood clot in my lung.
Fuck.
P.S.: And of course a blood clot in the lung has the same symptoms as freaking the fuck out. Good thing I'm young.

It's Hegel's birthday (thanks for the heads up, Barce) and I saw a woman reading Erasmus on the train today. I would have gone up to her and asked about it, but it was early and, oh yeah, never read anything by him.

New anti-war video from Le Tigre! (Plays in Quicktime.) Evidently signing with Universal hasn't massively increased their budget, but it's nice to see new work. They have a new album (This Island) coming out on October 19th. OMFG!

I wonder about jobs that require B.A.s -- mine, for example. I had all the skills it requires by the end of high school, and I could argue that, in some ways, my subsequent education made me less fit to do this job. (Because now I can say, "I learned Greek for this?" Except I never learned Greek, at least not more than one needs to use a lexicon.) Is this just an issue of acculturation? These days a college education is pretty much required for membership in the middle class. So maybe my B.A. suggests to potential employers that I won't disrupt the workplace with un-bourgeois behavior.
More likely, it's that high school diplomas (and B.A.s, for that matter) mean less and less, and the employers need something to sift through applicants. A few years ago, you didn't need a B.A. to get a real job (non-pink collar, I mean). Which reminds me that I totally hate everyone who made it to the work force by 1999.

Just gave someone advice that began with, "For your own good...". Something about that phrase makes me suspect myself. Maybe because all advice is presumably for the good of the advisee, and the advisor emphasizes it in order to conceal her real motives? (Not that I'd know what those motives are -- at least, I don't consciously know.) Maybe because I really have no idea what the good is for the person I'm advising?
Also thinking about self-protection, and people who like to live dangerously. Or do they?

I think my boyfriend is saying awesome things while pretending to be asleep. On Saturday morning he said, "I am going to advise against putting monster truck wheels on the bed," and this morning he said, "Monkeys!"
He claims to have no memory of saying this stuff, but I feel certain that he is doing it to amuse me.

From a packet of instant chai latte:
For a creamier experience, add a splash of milk or your favorite dairy substitute.
Two things. First, what is up with using "experience" when you mean "flavor"? Is this a case of selling the feeling rather than the product? Second, "creamier experience." Ew.

A series of articles about AIDS in India from the San Francisco Chronicle. I've only read the first article so far and like the writer's focus on the social factors of the disease's spread.

A silly rant I spewed while IMing with Kristin:
glossomania: i think the lowest level of hell is reserved for whoever made the scary furry art of the mother orca playing in a kiddie pool with baby orcas.
glossomania: the worst part was that they were wearing swimming suits.
glossomania: they're orcas! their entire skins are swimming suits!
glossomania: but i guess i kind of missed the whole anthropomorphization trolley...

A lovely crafting tea party yesterday, with scones and, um, tea. Also salad. Mostly just crafts though -- decoupage, postcards, coloring, knitting, and the like. Sumana departed from the craft theme to make art entitled "Untitled (The American Dream)" and "Untitled (The American Nightmare)".
And now there is lots of food left over, including a week's worth of scones for breakfast and strange foreign cheeses made from the milk of sheep and goats.

Another thing that happened this weekend was a party hosted by these people, featuring amazing graffiti/collage art by this guy, Steve Faustina. Who wasn't at the opening (apparently he hates them, I can imagine they would be a drag), so I couldn't tell him in person that his work is frikkin' awesome! Anyway, take a look for yourselves!

Great weekend, spent at my geologist friend's going-away party for the most part. (Also there was brunch.) New bookshelves. "If there's anyone I know who needs bookshelves," says my roommate, "it's that girl."

Things I saw on my lunch hour:
-cute waitstaff and an unusually large crowd at Brainwash;
-dogs barking at nothing;
-a fellow with neck tattoos sitting on the sidewalk and drawing the building that my company's working on;
-graffiti saying, "Bye SF". It was sweet and sad.

Things I've left out of the blog: My boyfriend and I drove out to California from Maryland a few weeks ago so that he could live in the same town as me. (On the way we stayed with the fabulous DevRat, among others.) He has a job lined up that doesn't start for a bit, so he had plenty of time to find a place to live, and find one he did. It's a fifteen-minute walk from my house and comes with a roommate (who I haven't met yet) and a kitten (who I have). The kitten has no name yet, so I ask: What is the cutest name for a kitten? I vote for "Mister Whiskers".

me: someone was just looking for the bagels and exclaimed, "cannibals!" and i therefore imagined bagels cannibalizing each other. teeth all around the center, drooling cream cheese.
Cassie: Oh dear.
me: i think they'd be cute.
me: i mean, as cute as cannibalizing bagels can be... Cassie: Yeah, you would until it bit you.
me: well, see, they're cannibal bagels. i am safe from them!
Cassie: Yes, but once you start eating things that look like you, nothing is sacred.
me: i suppose.
me: there goes my next roast of muppet.
