well.
i feel like i was hidden under a rock for years.
i’ve never, ever been that sick before.
i don’t usually go to a doctor. i do usually pretend i am not ill and struggle to act normal.
but, the fog is clearing and i am starting to make sense of my present again.
and am realizing that i haven’t talked to any of my friends in a very long time.
but somehow, all of the...
today.
I spent 2+ hours at an urgent care (and maybe 15 minutes with a doctor).
I spent 15 minutes at CVS getting prescriptions filled.
I don’t understand healthcare, but this doesn’t seem right.

Udo for the week.
“Kentucky, that’s always been the red-light district [of Cincinnati]. The drugs were cheaper; there’s the AMC theater. So we go there to amuse ourselves.”

vitamins do not count as food.
they may provide advantages similar to food.
but they are not food. even if you’ve learned to keep them down without a meal.

Bread Maker
Mom: Your dentist died. No appt next week. I’ll find u new one. I learned how to make bread!!
ran out of cat food today..
what if food for humans was treated with the same simplicity as food for our pets?
what if you went to the grocery store and found aisle upon aisle of brightly colored packages of “HUMAN FOOD with protein. made with real chicken!” or “HUMAN FOOD with antioxidants” ?
what a scary world.
why then is pet food so chemically oversimplified?

Udo quote of today.
regarding the sale of land in midwest north america to wealthy merchants in Boston or New York (1800s).
“But, it can still come down to cheating, which, when it comes to land is an American passion.”
because, in the 1400s soon-to-be Americans cheated the Indians out of the land , and then in the 1800s they cheated each other by selling crappy property to people who had never seen it.

Udo quote of the (other) day.
“Well, people didn’t want to pay taxes, so there was no fire department. Eventually, too many buildings burned down to dismiss the problem and a fire department was created. Today, we don’t want to pay taxes, so we are cutting the fire department [Cincinnati is closing several stations within city limits this year], which you know I think is fine, because it’s better for...

so tomorrow Lauren Petrakis and I will be giving a brief presentation about the project we’ve been working on with Architecture for Humanity and Permaganic, in room 4432 (one of the ones off the DAAP Cafe, i think) at 12p.
last quarter we worked through some programming, some precedent and site studies, so it’s finally time to get to designing!

nickoleptic:
do you realize that girls are wearing a lot more boots these days?
yes i do, and i like it. especially like brown or black ones, or those taller ones. those are hot.
i don’t usually really like boots, but i saw this one girl, and she actually looked really nice.
yeah? boots have really exploded in the past year or something.
i think i’d like to go to texas and see girls...
