it's you and me madly

so many things.

reading:  http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20130422-feeling-ill-swallow-a-parasite/ which is fascinating as all get go and i think i just made that phrase up. my favorite noteworthy thought in that article came from this quote "While on the plane, I decided to play a game and pretend that it’s caused by the loss of something rather than the addition of something.” i like this because it makes you realize that pretty much everything can be reframed, and once it's reframed it's no longer quite the same thing--the thought cascades it leads to are very different. 

second favorite quote being "Pig whipworm is very kosher."

today was day numero uno of trying out this washing hair with apple cider vinegar business. in the shower the smell made me confused as to whether i was showering or eating and reflexively i began to think about salad. short-term conclusion -- my hair feels softer but smells weirder. 

things i didn't do today: finish that application. BUT i made significant progress & will finish tomorrow. finish stats homework. BUT i did part of it yesterday. make bread. no BUTs for that one. not enough time. 

things i did do: get sources for my epic 12-page paper-to-be. whenever i think of not yet produced works of creativity i think of this one quotation i read somewhere once upon a time, about how some carver was so good that when he looked at a piece of wood or stone he saw the statue inside waiting to come out; yet another example of reframing, because in that case he was looking at what he needed to chip away to reveal something instead of carving something out of something else. 

biked to picnic point and walked to the very tip which they have denuded so there are only a few trees left and instead implanted a fancy amphitheater named after the illustrious ebling family. felt grateful that at least i could walk & see things & listen to music & move my fingers. 

foooood. all i want to think about is food.
