affix

i've spent the entire evening working on my mailbox.

that's a strange sentence :p i made a stencil and spray painted it on. here's a picture. cutting out the branches took much longer than i expected it to, but i think it looks really awesome.


last week mayelin and i befriended this new girl at work, who's a summer student. she started a week earlier than the other students. i wondered to myself if she'd still hang-out with us when the others started. at lunch time we were sitting in the cafeteria and she totally snubbed us. it was retarded. like, who does that!?!? i have no problem with her not joining us for lunch, i enjoy my lunch breaks just with mayelin, but ceasing to be friendly is uncalled for. it really shows the difference in our age. as much as i've always clung to my youth i'm starting to recognize that i'm maturing, there's no way around it. and i suppose that's not that bad.

i'm pmsing. it's rough. it feels like crazy comes in like the tide. but what can we do? nothing, i'm trying to just embrace it and know it will pass.

yesterday morning i was boiling an egg when i heard a little "chirp, chirp" sound coming from the pot. i found it quite alarming, so i picked up the phone and called melissa to find out if it's possible that there's a little chick inside (not only is she my resident nurse, but she's also my resident farm-girl). she wasn't there so i left a message then proceeded with caution. not surprising, it was a normal egg. but man, it was funny. i got quite a kick out of it. i wonder what caused that sound!

i was a hero
early in the morning.
i ain't no hero
in the night.

The mailbox looks amazing!

Eggs do make funny sounds when they boil, due to the change in pressures on the shell.

yep, i like the mailbox too... and a chirping egg for breakfast, too funny! though i'm sure i'd be alarmed too.
