house of jealous lovers

today i talked to alex and i think that we're going to name the recipes in our books after songs, like his "mass romantic" (new pornographers) apple desert and my "deceptacon" (le tigre)vegan brownies, and i just decided that i want to name a chapter "house of jealous lovers" (the rapture). other thoughts im having are "lodestar" (sarah harmer) corn muffins, "little tragedies" (hawksley workman) vegan banana-cranberry muffins, and "mesopotamia" (b52s) hummus. i cant wait until we get the most of our recipes together, begin writing it, and then whore ourselves to publisers. (all probably in just over a year.. well, the whoring at least, we cant really do it while alex is in school because we all know that school is a definite distraction from whoring).

tonight i have my japanese lessons and i think that right now im going to turn off my computer and not start it up again until sunday. wha?? maybe tomorrow night. i'll see how i'm feeling. today i got my phone bill and it was 17,000yen. and that's not my keitai bill. so this month both my phone bills, collectively, were 33,000yen. about 350dollars?? yikes. so i signed up for a new phone plan with my land line, and ive already stopped using my keitai so much. so, lets hope that collectively the price gets down to 17,000yen. and then about 10,000yen. that would make me happy.

oh my, the new strut comes out soon and there are two covers. one with brittany murphy and one with juliette lewis. i want them both!!
