my roommate and i spend a lot of time debating the merits of the dallas cowboys versus those of the detroit lions and after this weekends draft we have very differing views of our teams chances in the upcoming season. the lions picked up another quality receiver and some pretty legit defensive help while dallas grabbed up defensive ends with their two first round picks (in a draft with a million mediocre defensive linemen). and i have to say the cowboys secondary is fucked irrespective of any formation shift (from the 4-3 to a 3-4). and the cowboys certainly arent going to win many games on the offensive side of the ball. and fuck damn it.
my viola squad had a poor performance in a draw against bologna sunday. theyre likely going to be relegated to serie b and thatll suck because theyll lose miccoli, pazzini, bojinov and maresca, among others. that, and i dont want to see serie b games when im there. however, roma also lost and theyre only 5 points i think from the relegation zone and itd be classic to see them fall for the first time in 50-some odd years.
the giants arent really even worth mentioning.
duke has 3 mcdonalds all americans in their recruiting class and two of them are rated in prep stars top 20. sean may finally fucking left unc. |

ran into a little league baseball game at golden gate park today. we picked teams to cheer for and named them. my team ("bluth company") mercy-ruled their opponents ("win, but have fun") in two innings. #12 has a sweet bat.
spent the rest of the day lounging in the sun and reading death of a salesman because i keep seeing it around in random places. good day.
when i came home i found out i cant go to florence unless i pass my italian class.. which shouldnt be a problem since i live with a romanista. scimmia di ballo! also received my midterm grades finally.

daniele wrote my italian midterm and the professor singled it out on the course website as "worthy of everyones attention" (however you say that in italian).
zach morrised.
now i just have to wait for some small slip-up on my part, slaters spite, jesses conscience or.. general interaction between the professor and myself ends up in my lack of command over italian being exposed.
remember that guitar thing that happened at every commercial break? "bwow da na nuh nuh nah nuhhhh" |

sadie
its me. we go to cafe d'melanio every week on thursdays at the same time. i have a sociology class that ends at twelve-thirty and you must have a similar schedule. you get the same thing each week, so do i. thats how i know your name -- for the first two weeks you were the 'ham sandwich girl' until i was able to decipher what that little asian woman behind the counter was yelling out: "sadie! sadie!" -- and youre quite quick to pick up your order unlike some of the other patrons. i think we'd get along well.
youre very pretty. what do you listen to on your ipod?
i thought about tripping you so that we'd have to have some interaction, but decided against it. once i waited around an extra three minutes or so after my meal was done and youd gotten up to go to the restroom so that i could see you one more time, but you spent too long and i became bored. what were you doing? |

i have a soft spot for the feeling i get when i think of being a pre-teen sprawled out in the living room floor at 8 on a wednesday or thursday night watching the wonder years or northern exposure. soft enough that whenever i see "the complete first season" of any show i even half-regularly watched as a youngster, i must purchase it. especially so when borders inundates me in a sea of "buy 3, get 1 free!" posters. im just incapable of passing up a good deal -- or a pair of orange pumas (regardless of how many pairs i currently have). oh money.
but i hereby vow never to buy another film that has a sentence in the synopsis that begins: "When a hotshot journalist..." ever again. no matter how cheap it might be.
on a sidenote: stop taking pictures of yourselves in your bathroom mirrors with your cameras at stupid angles. we'll see you at the deerhoof show and marvel at your indieness accordlingly. |

at this moment my head is so clear that i can think the most subtle thoguhts without tiring. as i lie there in this position, letting my eyes wander down my breast and legs, i notice the twitching motion made by my foot at each beat of my pulse. i sit up halfway and look down at my feet, and at this moment i experience a fantastic, alien state id never felt before; a delicate, mysterious thrill spreads through my nerves, as though they were flooded by surges of light. when i looked at my shoes, it was as though i had met a good friend or got back a tornoff part of me: a feeling of recognition trembles through all my senses, tears spring to my eyes, and i perceive my shoes as a softly murmuring tune comning toward me. weakness! i said harshly to myself, and i clenched my fists and said: weakness. i mocked myself for these ridiculous feelings, made fun of myself quite consciously; i spoke very sternly and reasonably, and i fiercely squeezed my eyes shut to get rid of my tears. then i begin, as though id never seen my shoes before, to study their appearance, their mimicry when i move my feet, their shape and the worn uppers, and i discover that their wrinkles and their white seams give them an expression, lend them a physiognomy. something of my own nature had entered into these shoes -- they affected me like a breath upon my being, a living, breathing part of me...

-woody allen
i saw the sorrow and the pity yesterday while i was picking up a couple of dvds at borders. it made me realize that the last week or so of my life could be about 30 minutes in the middle of an early woody allen film. and thats crummy because if it were part of a woody allen film -- id be woody allen. walking home today on van ness i used "annie hall" as a verb in one of my thoughts.
