welcome to 5:00am. i'm up studying for my principles of psychology test. i've spent the last 12 hours or so studying for this test and am very impressed at the ability of impending disaster to motivate some serious study habits.

tonight at downer they had "beef tips" in A line. it strongly resembled a "beef stew" concoction my mom would often make on wednesday or thursday night when she was sick of being a mother and didn't want to fucking make dinner. anyway i kind of enjoyed it and the fact that while i was walking through A line i could announced to anni over her shoulder that i was getting "beef tits" for dinner.

also, big news in my life: my parents have proclaimed that i'm done, "living the paris hilton lifestyle" (that is a direct quote) and should start living more "realistically". my credit card is, at this moment, in an stamped/addressed envelope ready to go back to texas. maybe i should get a job --- mostly i'm glad i got the purchase of the escalade in there before they made this decision.

my favorite new hangout is the volkswagen dealership in appleton. while you wait for your car you can lay on big comfy couches and drink free soda/coffee/water/etc while watching satellite tv. and it's quiet and clean.

now i'm going to move my car into the street. no parking ticket for me today.
