Hurwitz" Subject: SJC: Update per Steph's request Hello Good-peoples! One exam down this morning! Ugh! :P Better not to ask.... Three more and moving and packing and trying not to have too large a reaction to all of the dust! I'm listening to Jenny, Jody, Sarah (McL), and Rush to keep sane. The good news is that after an hour and a half on the phone with Bell Atlantic, my phone situation should be all set (turning off current and turning on new and mailing address 'n' stuff) *sigh* Ah, well....back to packing...then go cook dinner....then study 'til I collapse... More to come when I'm less busy...(you can stop shuddering Tracy and Richard!) Fairyhugs and owning too much stuff that you thought you need...*sigh* Laurie current obsessions: dust bunnies Chaos and Fractals midterm at 8:00 AM tomorrow :P big brothers to the dust bunnies, dust elephants junk mail random wardrobe items that I still hang onto? <-- Can someone explain this? seeing my brother after two years of e-mail and occassional phone calls...just in time for our b'days!

Ah, what am I complaining about; it's only 103 degrees in the inland community of El Cajon today. It's probably 120 in Phoenix. I just finished a week's work, and now it's time to clean up and get out of the house. I work for a newspaper, at home -- no air, just the computer, the stereo, two cats, 3,000 records and me. I've had my shirt off all day today, except when I got a package from UPS (Useless Piece of Shit). Other'n that it's been work, work, work, sweat, work, play records (the Blood Oranges sounded great), work, work, sweat, get a drink, work, sweat, and work. Didn't even check e-mail. ON MY MIND TODAY: What mind? My brain has been fried all day. (This is your brain in El Cajon...) Getting a sundae at the DQ down the street Getting to my parents' to listen to Radio Free Monterey tonight on their WebTV (check out RadioFreeMonterey.org every night around 9 p.m. PST to hear some trippy pirate radio) This impossibly cute chyck I see at Java Joe's a lot named Andrea (friend of Cindy Lee Berryhill's) who's got one of those smiles that can light up a whole room. My inescapable need to shower and wash my hair now. That's all I'm gonna bitch about right now.

Hello kiddies! So I told you all my "status" of existence this morning from work from my hotmail email address, so here is my "status" as i sit here in pajamas in a dark house where people are already starting to sleep... in my CD player: JUDE, 430 N. Harper Ave in my tape deck: nothing at the moment. probably will pop something in later...maybe the pre-advance copy of the happy rhodes most recent album that a friend lent me in my walkman: a mix i made to send to a friend...been checking it out to make sure it's "sendable"...includes good stuff--sarah slean, jenny, joy askew, jess klein, sarah mclachlan, many others...90 minutes-o-funnnnnnnnnnn current weather report: from medford, ma: dark, crickets chirping, calm peaceful still sleeping weather... current desire: a guy in my life who is some dream come true who knows the meaning of space and who knows how to just read you lullabies and fiary tales until you fall asleep current excitement: seeing my friend Mark fridya night out at cape cod, starting school biggest fear: for me to know, you to find out if you learn telepathy and how to dig in my subconscious biggest craving: mushroom pizza. dont ask why. even though i know it will make me sick (cheese...grease...bad scene...)...oh well. that and a huge huge huge glass of water. current challenge: kicking my caffeine addiction. my friend albert would be proud of me for that one. mind finally turned "off" after being overheated a glass of raspberry iced tea would be mighty nice about now. i love children's stories. fairy tales. mmmmmmmmmmmm. i think my favourite ones, no, i KNOW my favourites, come from this book of Russian folklore that I have sitting in my bedroom. there's this one that's so beautiful called ALyonushka. Did you know that many of the fairy tales that are passed off as kiddie stories...like the sno queen and versions of cinderella and many others...you know, the warped-into-a-disney-movie-type, are taken from these Russian stories? they're so beautiful. one of these days i will find me some beautiful soul that i will love and cherish who will read me fairy tales and brush my hair away from my face until i fall asleep...and then will crawl in bed right next to me and just sleep peacefully until the sun wakes us up...nice dream, ain't it? lately i have also een having dreams that this singer guy i totally dig will somehow become all thoughtful and romantic and stuff--he is generally a forgetful lazy person--and he will take his guitar and rush to my house in his truck and stand under my bedroom window, a la Romeo, and sing me one of his beautiful songs...dreams are so convenient, aren't they? don't you just want to smack the sandman sometimes? anyway, that's that. time for me to go nightey-nite@!!!! be good my dears... love stephanie * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Stephanie Maria Kartalopoulos * The Greek Poet Chyck kartalst@hugse1.harvard.edu This is my prayer for you: May the moon protect you with honesty, caring, and gentility.
