Hello my dearest kittens--
I realized that perhaps I should actually post here to inform that I am posting somewhere else.
If you are still reading this, please check out my new blog: Jen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
My boyfriend, Benjamin, and I are currently on route to Tierra del Fuego, in Argentina, on a 1976 Yamaha XS500. We're blogging about it to keep people informed (ok, namely my mother who is freaked out by this trip), for us to remember the trip by but also in the hopes of getting notorious/famous (ha) to make enough money off of being notorious/famous (ha) to pay for our gas money. Because we are basically doing it on a handful of credit cards and occasional day labor (yardwork, housework, flipping Philly cheese steaks).
So I would
A. love it if you would read it/write me comments occasionally that you love me
and
B. love it if you would tell all your friends about it
and
C. love it if you would tell any rich people who might want to give me money. |

| Couples dancing classes? |
[Jul. 28th, 2008|09:04 pm] |
Hi--
Does anyone know of any places that do couples dancing classes? I am not picky in regards to the style, although it would be nice if it were located downtown.
Thanks muchly. |

| Newcomb ring |
[May. 17th, 2008|12:04 am] |
Oh goodness. So I got a Newcomb ring today, and I feel so good about it. Something about Mignon Faget jewelry just makes me feel like more of a woman, more of a New Orleanian, more of a Newcomb girl and more of a graduate.
"Every New Orleans lady, or so it's said, owns at least one piece of Mignon Faget jewelry adornment as central to a lady's wardrobe in this city as a piece from Tiffany & Co. in New York."

Ugh. I am having weird stomach problems and Gulu gave me an ultimatum that I need to see the doctor tomorrow. Basically I keep throwing up, but I'm not actually puking. :P
I know it is totally stressed related. I hate my thesis, I hate Tulane. I want my college nostalgia preemptively refunded! |

AIEEEEEEEEE DEATH CATERPILLARS ARE FALLING FROM THE SKY!!!!!! I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE AGAIN
MEANWHILE: I APPLIED FOR ANOTHER JOB, JUST NOW. Ahem. I hope they accept me. Because it would be a great job! I am afraid to say, to jinx it.
YOU WANT MEEEE GOOD JOB. |

| Ok. So maybe not NOLA. Ugh. |
[Apr. 9th, 2008|02:49 am] |
So. I was all excited. I figured IT out. IT was "what makes me happy" and IT was NOLA. Now, I am looking on NOLA.com, and there are no jobs. Unless of course, I want to be a secretary. Great. Just fucking great.
I want to cry. I hate school so much and I just want to feel good again, not like no matter what happens post May-whateverteenth that I will hate where I am or what I am doing.
If anyone knows of any good jobs (and by good, I mean emotionally satisfying), please tell me. Please please please. |

38 pages in thesis!!
may not fail! may graduate!! must continue at this 12 hr workday or equivalent 25 pages a week rate (to get thesis+the rest of my final papers in), but may actually graduate!!

lesson learned today:
2.5 shots espresso + milk
1 energy drink
1 coffee "granita" (mistake, never again)
1 restoration ale (truly restorative)
1 slice boot pizza

My whole life is currently running on a mixture of fear, anger, hatred, misery and energy drinks.
I am looking to incorporate more alcohol, less solid starches.
Mind you, the fear is what really keeps me coming back to Willow Computer Lab seven days a week.
I have also decided that I hate Tulane students more in the last ~eight days than I have in my entire four years (well, 3.75 because of Kat) in NOLA. |

Man. I am kinda considering rabbinical school. In a very "Yeah right, Jen. That is just too much homework + fear of post-college getting into your bones." And that is probably what it is. |

I think I am going to snip the ends off of my hair tonight. I figure no one will notice if I do, and I just can't bear the length anymore. I think it might be part of my back problems issue. |

I think I should start on a liquid diet of beer and energy drinks.
Meanwhile--does anyone know where to get some adderall? Sigh. |

Gosh, the idea of dying in anonymity is a little paralyzing.
I need to find my artist talent, my benefactor, my rich husband, or become someone important's muse or lover, stat. |

| Pen pal letters |
[Mar. 4th, 2008|09:42 pm] |
Does anyone know of a website where you post your address and someone randomly sends you snail mail art letters? I've been to it before and I really want to send strangers snail mail art letters. I am freaked out by these big, poorly designed pen pal websites that make me feel like someone is going to come and stalk me down. Or do you know of anything similar?
thank you. |

| Artist Communities |
[Mar. 2nd, 2008|09:16 pm] |
I always ask these obscure questions that no one ever has an answer for and I always feel stupid for doing it, but here goes:
Does anyone know of any artist communities? I mean in the sense of an actual, planned space, whether legally or not legally recognized. I came across the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance website today and thought it was an interesting set of requirements (5 acres? in a city?) and wanted to know if any qualified or at least was trying/doing it under the radar. The Banks St. Warehouse (is that still in existence?), Dr. Bob's place and Nowe Miasto came to mind, but I am not sure if they have done the paperwork or if "artist community" is even their mission.
In other words, I am kinda kicking the idea around of seeing if I can set up this "artist community" (http://ordlink.com/cgi-bin/hilite.pl/codes/neworleans/_DATA/TITLE11/Section_11_62__Artists_Communi.html?art) and want to know if anyone has any ideas on how to do it/if it can even be done.
Thanks muchly.

| fanny pack |
[Jan. 6th, 2008|06:46 pm] |
i think i need to start wearing a fanny pack. maybe i'll make something a little swankier than my rip-stop nylon mickey mouse teal and black fanny pack if gulu brings her sewing machine home. but i am just getting tired of having to always be either 'responsible' (i.e. be bogged down with the miscellany of my life like assignment notebooks/day planners) or 'afraid' (i.e. refusing to do things because i don't have something specific i need to feel ok BECAUSE I AM A HYPOCHONDRIAC).
if i have a fanny pack, this is what it would include in the safety emergency kit:
-1 tampon
-1 clean pair underwear
-1 pen
-1 pencil (for crosswords)
-1 in process crossword
-1 small notebook
-2 coughdrops
-4 advil
-10 dollars
-4 bandaids
-important phone numbers
-maybe my pepper spray
-a snack, like fruit leather or nuts or something.
and hopefully it would also fit:
-my wallet
-my cellphone
-my keys
