burrr... it's cold in here

good thing i don't wear thin bras or shirts.

air conditioner
turned to high gives all its might
to keep me chilly.

home sweet home

i like being at home because everything is so familar but it gets boring. with friends taking summer school, traveling, working and living in places other than rosemead, i have to wait to see them. boo.

finally at home,
i'm as happy as can be...
temporarily.

alberto's

working at darco means i'm two minutes away from yummy yummy mexican food. i went to alberto's for lunch today and ordered the carne asada burrito with a diet coke. it was delicious. i'm not a big fan of flour tortillas but alberto's tortillas are great. it had the right amount to chewiness to it and the elasticity helped the burrito from not tearing. my hands were still clean when i finished eating (but i didn't finish the burrito. it was hefty. i'm disappointed in myself.) anyhow, fearing that this sounds too much like susan's food blog, i'll stop describing my lunch. this is a crappy haiku. i wrote it while eating so i was concentrating too much on how much salsa verde i was putting on my burrito rather than how well written this haiku was going to be.

carne asada,
salsa and guacamole
makes great burritos.

under where?

i like not having a roommate because that means i can do whatever i feel like whenever i feel like- like sitting around in my underwear.

summer nights have me
sleeping in my underwear
sometimes even less...

summer lovin'

i recently purchased a yoshitomo nara notebook during my stay in san francisco. i've made it into a summertime haiku notebook. anything that reminds me of summer... activities, ideas, whatever, will be written into a haiku. i'll try to keep up with this summer theme as long as possible.

my sister and i were on the 5 freeway driving back to l.a. from berkeley with the highway sign reading 245 miles until we reached los angeles. that was a very long 245 miles with nothing on the road except for the occassional gas station and fast food joint. it hasn't rained in a while so the fields were all yellow. every couple of miles was a farm but that was the only greenery in the middle of california.

golden fields of weeds
stretching beyond my vision
wait for rain to come.

monopoly

i've been studying for finals for the last couple of days and haven't had time to play monopoly with sam. we haven't played for months! this one is written by sam. i love it!

Jeanne is quite mean.
Too busy to play a game
of Monopoly

eek

in the middle of studying for my upcoming exams, i realize that i'm screwed. i can't study nearly as much as i should for my classes. i do this to myself... writing haikus instead of studying the language in which haikus originated. so here i am now, cowering to finals and to the end of the quarter.

i lie in my bed
and hide under the covers,
too scared to come out.

what now?

a lot of shit has happened this past week/weekend and i don't know what to make of it all. in fact, i can't even remember it all. perhaps that's a bad sign but maybe some things weren't meant to be remembered. anyhow, i need a break from life. i'll be off in my own world for the next few days.

i have never been
more detached from my feelings
than i am right now.
