there is something about john steinbeck writing that makes me feel so familiar and warm, satisfying.
he helps me remind me of me.
I went to the SAMA yesterday. the SAMA is one of the biggest museums i have been to. having been from a small town I haven't seen many. I saw the david halliday culinary delights exhibit his photography was mostly fruits and vegetables ; cucumbers, eggs bread individually and paired in combination in light boxes in sepia toned prints.
I remember doing things like that with my photography episode in high school when all of my projects from writing to drawing were just touched and I never went on with anything. and every time I touch on some projects i feel young again.I never wanted it to be that way but it came out that way anyways. the only time i ever submitted anything was when i was 14 maybe 15 was this photo i took of a wheat field a walk away from my house. I submitted it to look-look magazine and it was published.
Anways, all of his photos were very pleasant very inspiring.

I have been wanting to get a haircut as of late but money does not permit. For years I used to cut my own hair myself but my hair has gotten too long I don't think it would look decent at all. maybe my long hair will symbolize my financial state .. ? BORING.
I have also been wanting new clothes and a pair of shoes but money also does not permit. I feel like I look so raggedy, biking has torn up the few jeans I have, a lot of my clothes doesn't even fit me anymore and my outfits don't make anymore sense. I think I might just start stealing again. When I got a job, I stopped stealing clothes because I didn't need to necessarily but now that I think of it I could have saved myself lots of money if I had continued. I am really good at not overbuying food when I go grocery shopping and I don't buy in excess where it will spoil so that is not problem. and I never grocery shop without a strategic game plan for meals but I need to start buying and really stripping down to staple foods like I was used to when living at home. only the necessities and minimize baking really minimize baking.. it looks like a luxury to me now.
I have never lived too comfortable. If it ever gets comfortable it doesn't last for long. It is not hard for me to live a stripped down simple life. living that simple life always excites me. It reminds me of living at home and how my imaginative mind comes into motion.
I want to celebrate with cranberry oatmeal muffins. in my pantry without having to buy anything or use too much of what I have : dried cranberries, quick oatmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and I still have some eggs and milk from the last time I went to get groceries so I want to bake cranberry oatmeal muffins early morning tomorrow for the week and pack them in my bag for lunch if I remember to take them with me.

I just got back a paper that I wrote on US consumerism in the 1950s and it turned out the professor liked it.
I like getting feedback on writing.. I never believe myself to be a good writer.
McDonald's is powerful !
I love the USA! USA! USA!

Last night I had a dream I was giving a lecture on the composition of milk and cheese. "...Milk is composed of roughly 84 percent water and 14 percent milk solids of those 3 percent protein casein and whey... cheese is made from the protein of milk: casein.."
I have been studying too much.
Every time I close my eyelids I see chemistry problems, I dream about milk composition and think about the steps of lactate and alcoholic fermentation in cellular respiration.

I refuse to make "snickerdoodle" cookies because they sound absurd. I am sure there is no snicker nor doodle about them anyways. I just want nothing to do with them.
I feel like having fun this weekend I haven't felt nor I never felt like I had the time to have fun. I feel like getting belligerently drunk minus the aggressive part in being belligerent.
I think I have a bad habit of mildly staring at girls that I think are pretty or that have a nice structured face. Thinking about it its just appreciating their beauty but I guess its become an obvious habit nor bad or ill-behaved I don't think. I mean hopefully I smile when I do.
Lately I've felt like bejeweling everything in sight! It almost seems necessary. It is similar to my sticker craze of '97 and stamp craze the year before that. Thus far I've adorned this foam fetus I drew and cut out with jewels all kinds of jewels (plastic of course). and I think my next bejeweling adventure will be my monitor and maybe some of my shoes. I really reaaaalllly want to but it would be a mess if I bejeweled Erik's glasses one night and the next morning he would wake up with jewels for eyes!!

i keep finding little spiders on my book as I'm reading. They just crawl on through the words. sometimes they stop and wiggle a little and then they just continue to crawl on through.

I really miss the valley sometimes. How small it seems and the weather, especially the weather. Most of all I miss being so close to my family , I actually had friends there and mexico was so close to me. I don't think I'll live in the valley ever again my plans for the next couple of years move me farther north and well I'll keep missing it probably.

I want to live alone again. Im really lucky to have the roommates I have and especially to live in this house and most of all rent is really cheap but I would really like to spend entire days in silence and to create my own dust make my own messes, clean my own messes, noises, smells.
