geek chic

according to the ever-wise (and hilarious) jordan, i am "geek chic." maybe i should start designing clothes. i draw the line at cigarettes, real ones or jean material, unwashed hair, and angry cause-blazing haters. my idea of politics is fairly simple: support with conviction, and don't criticize those who don't give you the time of day. people find their own way into communities. it's a passive principle, but that's what i believe. so today, o embittered students for "save darfur," you came up short. no signature for you.

for 2 days i have felt like i have a swollen golf ball settled in my collarbone. ginger tea? sleep? tara suggested a gargle with salt, but hopefully some strong ginger infusion will do the trick. "heroes" + dinner involving squash, garlic, mulled apple cider, and milano cookies. not necessarily in that order.
