TGIF (Tonsillectomy Edition)

My lovely suitemates from the past semester - I miss them already! From left: me, Karynn, Katie, Masumi, and Caitlin.

1. All I've been doing since my tonsillectomy has been resting at home.
2. My favorite thing for dinner lately has been black raspberry gelato...mmm.
3. One of many things that annoys me about dogs relative to cats is their bark! bark! bark!
4. A nice long walk would be nice if I had the energy.
5. Knowing that friends wanted to pay me a visit would be some good news.
6. When all is said and done, this recovery thing hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sleeping, tomorrow my plans include watching movies and Sunday, I want to watch movies!


Awesome movies I've seen this week (the first two were the only ones I hadn't seen before), any of which are highly recommended for a sick day:
Casablanca
Milk
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Animal House
Good Will Hunting
Mr. Holland's Opus
plus Season 1 of Arrested Development

Dang, I really have nothing to talk about. My life consists of hydrocodone, movies, and frozen beverages.

Too tired for anything of substance. Later, y'all.

a poem about grapefruit

Yargh, sorry I've been a terrible blogger. Finals! Commencement week! So much has gotten in the way. In any case, I'm home, eagerly(?) awaiting Monday, when I will be getting my tonsils out. Send me healing vibes! I'll be drugged up and sore for at least a week, maybe two.

For now, I'd like to offer up a poem, written by my talented friend Leora Fox.

ways to eat a grapefruit

for devon, jon, nat, and abe

1. screaming romantically: two
fingers, frantic, scooping chunks
of pink flesh along with inner,
outer peel.

2. in series of semiquavers, in
perpendicular planes, with
thirds on the brain, on
unsteady wooden chairs.

3. with holes bored to siphon
juice, periodic compression and
release, two-palmed, downward;
fitfully at best.

4. sluiced truthfully
through the middle in
imperfect halves, with
serrated spoon.
