today.

Today I put Halloween decorations on my door and a bowl of candy outside (I keep ending up with candy I don't want...what better way to get rid of it?
I'm rather tickled by the fact that I occasionally hear footsteps padding up to my door, the rustling of a shy hand picking out a piece of candy, and then the footsteps pad away again.

Today I am seesawing between grumpiness and loving life, which I think is somewhat related to when I am outside getting cold and wet with the rain soaking through my shoes and when I am inside getting dry and chatting about majors or singing (which is like therapy but cheaper).

I'm not getting very much done. There are certain days when I can barrel through it all, and others when the day somehow slips between my fingers. It's sad, because Tuesdays are usually the most free for thr doing of homework.

about 100 yards away, there is a hot bowl of bean sprouts and tofu in thai green curry broth that is calling my name. Euripides and Caesar and the passato prossimo and sinusoidal functions are also calling my name, but they're muffled by my backpack.
