my buffy season 5 dvds arrived in the mail yesterday. this caused me to run around the apartment shrieking BUFFYBUFFYBUFFY!!!!!1!!!. dann says now he's only going to refer to the show as buffybuffybuffy. i watched the first two episodes with jorn last night. dann had planned to watch a hockey game because the washington caps were playing boston, so he would actually get a chance to see his team on tv. so i grudgingly gave up the tv after watching only one episode, but then his team actually won so i was glad. and the game ended early, so i had time to watch the second episode too. i wanted to stay up all night and watch all of them, but jorn thought that was a bad idea and made me go to bed. he and dylan kept saying things like "they're not going anywhere" and "it'll still be here tomorrow", but they don't understand. i miss rhett. but i was right about how my life suddenly and magically seems much better now that i have buffy again.

another thing. jorn, you have to check this out. there's a store on mass ave, right near the hi fi pizza place, that usually has, like, corsets and leather stuff in the window. they currently have a holiday display that features three pee wee herman dolls dressed up like the three wise men, bearing gifts. it's totally hilarious. at first i wasn't sure that they were pee wee dolls, only that they looked really familiar, but then i saw the white shoes peeking out from under their wise men robes. it's awesome.

when i got on the T this morning, the automated voice said, "next stop davis square." for those of you who don't live in boston, this is notable because davis square is three stops in the opposite direction from the way i was going, so there's no possible way for davis square to be the next stop after central. so i got to thinking, wouldn't it be awesome sometime, like april fools day or something, for the automated voices to just spew out crazy stops, like if i got on the red line it could say "next stop aquarium" or "next stop malden center" or something. i bet half the people on the T wouldn't even notice, though.

this job is pretty okay. i've been getting a lot of reading done. i finished Sarah Orne Jewett's A Country Doctor last week, which i'd been meaning to read for a long time, and two days ago i read The Joy Luck Club, which was also really good. today i'm either going to do The Color Purple (which i never read in school, because, you know, catholic school i guess) or My Antonia by Willa Cather. if i stay here much longer, i'll actually have a chance of making it through the collected works of D.H. Lawrence. or at least of borrowing dann's collected Oscar Wilde and getting through that.

one last thing. this morning i decided to treat myself to a nice beverage. i was on the T thinking i was thirsty, so i was thinking maybe i'd get coffee, or maybe a coke. the coke sounded really good, but the only place open inside the management building was starbucks, and i realized i wasn't in the mood for something hot. so i got a caramel frappucino, and OH MY GOD. ymmuy.
