my new house is less ghetto than my old house. well, mostly.

let's say my shower faucette control rotates a complete 360 degrees. now, the knob set at any position of degrees 0 thru 179.6 brings forth boiling water. the knob set at any position of degrees from 181.2 thru 360 drops the temperature to glacial. this all means, that in order to have a comfortable shower, you have to finagle a jurassic era knobby to within about a 1.6 degree position range for medium warmth. this is a difficult feat, especially with second degree burns covering your already scalded body.

i love living in old houses.

there's just something so familiar about family.

my parents are the greatest. they just spent two and a half days on a train to come see me. so we went and had some fun.

i love being with people that you already know, but that feeling of getting to know them even better. facts about my mom and dad not known to myself previous to this afternoon--
*he just happened to meet mister clint eastwood on the set of 'the outlaw josey wales.' (and it gets cooler than that.) whaaaa?
*she enjoys prying firmly imbedded moss patches off of rocks. seems to find it VERY satisfying. see proof below, frame three.
