dallying.

when you live by yourself, one can easily persist in what i have coined "the dally state." it is time to go to bed, but you don't really feel like it, so dallying (also known as dilly-dallying) ensues. various internet sites. trips to the kitchen to see if something has magically appeared since you last looked. deep thoughts about the things you should be doing, namely, sleeping.

i will have to admit that i am in the dally state right now. however, in defense, i must also say that i often learn useful things while dallying.

tonight i have learned:

1. it costs roughly $175 to ship a 5lb package via DHL or FedEx to Chile
2. my friend melanie sold her car
3. my friend al found an AMAZING sign regarding prostitution
4. john mCcain won the florida primary, so hopefully romney is out
5. clinton technically won florida as well, but no delegates were awarded
6. carrots and peanut butter are delightful together
7. i was right in high school when i used to eat punjab eggplant on a daily basis. it's still delicious.
8. water is tasty, too

9. a variety of other things that weren't that interesting.

that's about it. mostly, i'm hoping that one day soon i will conquer this dally factor and do something useful like read my marquez book or do my spanish homework. verbs!

good night.

favorites...

i have a new favorite word.

apocopate - to cut off the end of a word. example: "Wow, that's gorge!" gorge=gorgeous

i learned this word from two of my smart ladies, marie and daniella, in which we had a weekend full of apocopation. obv, it was fabulous.
