i've become quite the little prodigy
at hijacking internet signals
walking around my apartment building with my laptop
i've found a pretty consistant spot in the stairwell between the 2nd and 3rd floor
so thats nice.

ok here is who i've ruled out.

on denial:
lora
amanda
lisa/stephen
matt/sandra

on assumption to do with personal ethics regarding commerce:
heidi

what about kelly?
no i don't think it was kelly.

i will solve this.
tho others are telling me to let it be,
i will solve this.
like elizabeth getting to the bottom
of what the true reason was for darcy being present at the marriage
of lydia and wickam.
there is no let it be.

ok belated secret santa
who the hell are you.

today i got a package in the mail.
containing
pride and predjudice
jane eyre
and a lovely blue scarf
and a card which spoke of knowledge that i didn't get everything i had hoped for christmas.

my powers of detection have revealed that the box was sent
yesterday
from abbotsford
and now i am on a handwriting comparison mission.

a conversation that went funny real fast.

heidi: julie, where were you saturday night? i meeeeeeeeesed you.
julie: yes. i was in portland. i know you missed me. i am a mosaic staple.
matt (jumping in): small and pointy and made of metal?
[laughter]
julie: ha. good at holding things together.
[laughter]
matt: easily discardable and replaceable?
[laughter]
heidi: needs a good bang to make it go?
[much laughter]

in my beginnings to addresss my severe financial shortcomings
i am so excited
to come home from the grocery store
and marvel at how much food stuffs i got for 40 bucks.
and to have your total come to 40.63
when you've budgeted 40.
now thats skills.
well, skills when you're not even remotely a math oriented person.

matt and sandra came up to me on wednesday
and said
'hey what are you doing this weekend..saturday until sunday?'
how can you not throw yourself fully on board to plans that commence with the details of saturday until sunday.
those, to me, are the perfect opening details.
so saturday morning we're driving to portland! oregon!
to see a show at the mississippi pizza pub. ha.
and we're making into a weekend.
this is altogether thrilling, relaxing, perfect and lovely.

have i mentioned the jeff tweedy solo show?
ohhhh yes.

i just got in
from a friends art instillation at emily carr
its raining raining outside
every muscle in my body is tense and sore
i'm currently reading
pride and prejudice
joan baez
(i'm actually looking over to my nightstand to see whats on it, because my mind is not really working)

my mind is wandering as i sit here..
i'm thinking about my friend heidi
and what a lovely presense has come into my life with her
and her wonderful husband micheal
on whose art instillation we feasted.

i'm tired
and my feet are a little bit smelly.
and its already ten oclock.

sunday i
woke at noon
happily ran into joel and robin at jj
gourged on waffles at matt and sandra's
looked pretentious typing in my journal while eating dinner at locus
watched buffy
discovered garage band on the ibook
played with garage band until five am.

i sound pretty.

today i
woke late
watched buffy
wrote kg an email
got a free coffee at jj
hurried up and waited at rehersal
mosaic
tried to stop myself from putting all my eggs labeled CRUSH/LOVE OF MY LIFE in one basket
chided myself for being sad that all my eggs got taken away
went to toons
ate chinese
drank winebeermikes
happy new years
chatted with dave at 2.30 outside over smokes
climbed into bed
