its raining and im drinking tea in bed, because i think i might be sick. last night i went to the movies and saw 'a serious man' and i didn't really like it. maybe something was lost in translation. they only show dubbed movies where i live, and it drives me crazy. especially when you know the actors' voices and you are watching them speak and its not their voices that are coming out of their mouths. i dont really have any other plans for this weekend. i do have my second conversation class tonight though, but i find it kinda stressful, so i cant really count it as 'fun weekend plans'. most of what ive been up to can be seen below. its a picture of my 'work space'; i get really creative in my 'work space'. reading, tetris, scale models, and computering (not pictured).

i pretty much have the next three weeks off of work. i will work a total of 1 day per week for the next three weeks. i love complaining about this, because it sounds

totally ridiculous. i dont want to get paid to NOT work for three weeks straight, and then go back to work for 4 weeks and then have another 2 weeks. another 2 weeks of paid vacation. this really is a great job. its fun and the hours are great and they keep giving me all this time off. now if only the commute to brooklyn wasn't 16 hours and $800. but seriously, you know you are desperate when you would rather work then get paid not to work. i know ive said this before, but im really just not sure what ill do. ill go stir crazy. probably get island fever. and cabin fever. and ill eat way too much.

i got my hair cut last week, and my mom asked me to put up a picture. so here it is. shameless self-promotion. shameless!

snankes on a plane

today is tuesday, january 19, in the year of our lord, 2010.

the title of this post is a joke. i am pretty sure that it wasnt snakes on the plane that did this, but probably some sort of acid or a small fire. maybe one of those daemons from the twilight zone. but when matt and i arrived to the madrid airport at 1am and proceeded to collect out luggage, this is what we found at the baggage claim.

whats more, the legos box inside of matts bag had been shredded by some sort of vicious wild animal, singed by a flame thrower, and then finally dipped in a pool of cat urine. or so it appeared. and my legos were melted! MELTED. whatever kind of sadistic debauchery takes place in the luggage cabin of major airlines carriers, i do not care to know. no sir, i do not care to know.

roman holiday

today is monday, january 18, 2010.

i went to rome. then i came home and built a cafe made of legos.

when my lego cafe was finished, i started to build a mobil suit gundam. but then i realized that mobil suit gundam is for 'japanese use only' so i stopped.
