numb

this brain of mine no longer wishes to cooperate. in spite of regular chocolate dosing, a fine run around the soccer field, and many interludes of fun mit friends. but only a few more days till it can go back on vacation. it shouldn't complain - i ask so very little of it!

instead of sleep, it mused about naughty things long into the night. instead of imbibing the wisdom of the neuroanatomical ages, it fondly recollected a rainy midnight late-october pic-nic.

but it did help me to dig through old things to find lovely presents to share - one for meghann's super-secret-santa today, and others. and it found me the address of my host family in japan, which i thought maybe lost forever.

if, after all, it really won't help me to learn, then at least i should ask it to sing me a song. now let's see, how might that go:

the brain bone's connected to the spine bone,
the spine bone's connected to the crotch bone,
the croch bone, er, 's connected to the brain bone,
and i'll go on my merry merry way.

silly brain. that's a terrible song. i need to get out of this house. hmm, but at least it smells of sandalwood in here.
