so. its kind of amazing how busy you can find yourself when you don't have anything to do. granted, i'm not so busy right now that i couldn't sit down to write this, but... well, i guess you might know what i mean, somewhat. today i biked all over the west side, from the house to battery park city (to drop off anna's lunch, which she forgot at home, although i later learned it was an "extra" lunch and she'd had hers all along... great) up to 23rd street to best buy to cash in a gift certificate, and then back down to teh house. okay, so really not that busy. but... well, whatev.

anyway. i guess what it is is that certain things seem to be conflicting, and because of that, i let myself get stressed out. for instance, in two (or three?) weekends, i signed up to work at a photo show my dad's friend puts on (some of you may remember it from my very exciting fall '04 semester), only to learn that the family's going to a wedding that weekend... i don't know how i got it so wrong, but i did.

all right. whatever steam i had for writing when i sat down has dissapated. i'll have to holla back at ch'yall later.

oh, ps. yesterday i had a very big first: first time driving a stick shift in manhattan! and i didn't crash or nothing! it was exciting. ok, i'm done.
