I believe my own eyes

When I look at the moon and the sky. That's also the name of a song from TOMMY, which is why those words are floating about to a tune in my mind, but back to the sky.
I just came home a bit late after a good time had at a friends house- and I had to turn off Egan into old glacier on the way down town just so I could look at the moon and what it was doing to this cloud, illuminating it.. the first cloud strip of stretching on, hanging all the way down the channel and actually literally hugging the hills that crest just below the base of the bigger mountains on the douglas side of things, breathtaking! whist enjoyment of this was occuring I realized that there were stars too, but also because I have class of trig in 5 hours I had to keep driving down town.
When I got here, I parked the car and stood on the icy street for a bit to enjoy it more, and as I kept cycling through trees, cloud, moon, star, trees, cloud, moon, star, trees, cloud, moon, star! I looked back behind me and saw that the moon was also illuminating the avalanche path in a gorgeous way, and the snow against the dark was just striking. And all at once I felt like me standing there on the street, I was between the mountain and the moon hanging over the channel, and they were obviously having this silent very wise conversation.. and as soon as I felt that feeling of being the third person watching two other people talk, the presence of both just got more and more tangible, and so I said goodnight (secretly wishing I could just fly on the wall the two of them and watch them talk all night and they wouldn't get weirded out) and went inside. They're not the sort of people you can give the good night kiss on the cheek to, but the sentiment was definitely there.
and so, now class is in 3 hours and 40 minutes roughly, so I better get some shut eye. Wonder if the tests will be graded yet, I hope so! that's the most fun in a while ive had taking a math test, so i hope that bodes well. I watched goood night and good luck in history today, pretty good actually. ok, enough! love love!

What is mashed? What is potatoes? What is mashed potatoes? It's what I'm eating right now and it's really good. There are some organic leeks and garlic bits along for the ride and it is the lunch of the day. Lately the ol taters are what I crave the most when i get hungry, so im limiting it to an occasional thing so as not to let the tatoe famine part of my personality take over. I just took a shower which felt awesome after working this morning. I fell down uber hard on the ice this morning, got some of the street de-icing gravel stuck in my leg, but worst of all ripped the shin of my fav-o pants. So it goes. That's life when you're a me, and you fall down alot. But I like to think i fall well. If such a thing is possible. Then that is what i like to think. In any case, just got called to the other job early, so i better jet, which puts the nay no on swing dancing with daniel, which is too bad, because i was looking forward to it. :( Beggars can't be choosers in when they work though. However on the bright side it looks like im going to make rent this month!!! Goodness gracious, what's happened to me when that is an exciting event? I mean, this would be the first month that I didn't if i didn't, but still... and on the upside of that, $ or no $, I'm still a happy camper right now. I'll leave on that note with the intention of blogging again sometime soon, but later.

Sunning in my corner office

Ha, not really- I don't even have an office. Or a computer in a corner by the window, but that's where I'm currently sitting getting my box office on at Perseverance.. and it's completely delightful. The sun is making me a major fan, and with the lights off in the office and no one else arround it's the perfect saturday afternoon for me right now. (for being at a job) (well actually it's pretty good on it's own even) So, theoretically I might get my history paper written, which would be good, maybe some math homework- which would be even better.
I had a late-ish night last night out and about. It was Brady's birthday, and it was a really good time. I got a pretty good bruise on the shin from a sliding on my knees dance explosion that was more on the edge of the stage than the stage itself, but that was but a small part of all the dancing that took place. What with accidentally kicking a glass off the bar, seeing johanna out, and hanging out with Levi (and his amazing new sidekick of a car) I'd have to give the night an A.
This last week was the first one back after break, and im pretty ready to be done with the semester- but I don't know what I'm doing during the summer though, so it's good that we're not there yet. My math teacher, whom im quite fond of had a heart attack and is pretty good condition i believe in anchorage.. so we have a replacement right before this next test, and that part is not so good, although obviously having a heartattack is worse. I'm trying to finish up my paperwork for exchange in the spring of next year, i hope my disorganization and lateness in all that i do doesn't screw me over there. I'm supposed to work everynight this week at the new job, that should be quite the different experience. I should pedal my tandem bicycle to the metal and the mettle and study and work until the semster is over, but there is always something fun to do, and now that the smell and feel of spring is in the air, it's going to be a toughie.
So, I'd say all in all, things are good... and I'm a pretty happy little clam. Tonight I believe there is scheduled trio time, maybe even in black tie attire, so maybe I'll report back on that, until then I hope people everywhere are enjoying the beginnings of spring. (if you're somewhere where it's not spring, then I hope you're enjoying whatever you're beginning or ending)
I actually never really saw the value of spring when I was younger, but the older I get the more I appreciate it... nifty.
