this morning i was on a war path to dive into work. real work. not researching songs to learn on the guitar or browsing blogs. i pinpoint the following reasons for the bastardization of my plan.1) no iPod to insulate me from the staff workroom. i don't have it for one day and my brain is spinning in hindi, kid, hiking, french, etc. conversations in the teacher's lounge. dear brian, i blame you.
2) sepsis of the brain deriving from another bacterial infection in my stomach (dave, am i using this term correctly :) ).
3) google images. always on the list of reasons why ms. humm is not an efficient worker.
4) i can't stop thinking about my rock star costume and the accompanying halloween blizzard of 1991. i am obsessed with the idea of trying to go trick or treating with my extremely limited hindi vocabulary. i would probably at least get a cup of tea, so much better than those damn black and orange peanut butter candies old people give out.
5) i also can't stop thinking about these sex bears. story: i love playing the claw game. you know, the one with the stuffed animals you can win. once i was trying to win either a harry potter or a scooby doo. and i got this stupid pink bear instead. to my surprise, as the claw lifted the pink bear, a blue one followed. i was puzzled by the two bears, seemingly connected at the crotch by a string. i pulled the bears apart in the perkins waiting area and the bears started vibrating, moving toward one another and avowing "darling, i love you."
6) the other 15% of my brain is pondering italian cuisine, indian beaches, the thriller dance in the micheal jackson video, what is for lunch, watching scooby doo episodes in my mind, ways to tie halloween into the study of world history, where i could find a pumpkin to carve, why scan tron sheets can't read pen markings, what the phrase, "golly, ned" means, what my face would look like with cheekbones, the meaning of halloween and why it originated, the ghostbuster theme song, what ligers do in the wild, if j.d. salinger is still alive and secretly writing somewhere, possible halloween costumes, including how i could dress as a giant bacteria, the possibility of jet packs in the future and why my cup of coffee is being used for good rather than evil in the firing of synapses.
a legitimate blog documenting my life in india is to follow. this has been diarrhea of the mouth from courtney "danger" humm.
p.s. happy halloween everyone.

You may be a little perplexed as to whom the replier is at the other end; however, as your read on I will give you a hint. You did make a reference to me a few days ago and I haven't seen you in several years now. Go ahead and google the guy formerly, and currently for the most-part, 'Italian Stallion' and you will find me. Maybe we could chat a bit more.
It is evident that you are making the best of education and desires. Achieve for the best and allow your peers appreciate everything you have to offer. Should you want to contact me, email me...I'd love to hear from you! Happy Halloween. Ciao!
BTW: If you learned any Italian while studying abroad, maybe we could chat a little bit. I've got a couple years under my belt.
Perhaps you have ADHD--one of my friends self-diagnosed herself after attempting yet more higher education in a different field. Also, ligers would be fine in the wild being the combination of two totally awesome predators. Lastly, if the Mt Hermon porch can recover from Holi 2005, it can take anything. Real lastly, I dreamt that you, Jamie, and Ethan were all still living at Mt Hermon and that Kathlynn's apartment was converted into a giant but inefficient kitchen. Ah India.
j.d. salinger IS still alive...?
jo, that thought actually did go through my mind, the adhd one. along with the thousands of other thoughts... am i angad?
today i have rediscovered music in the workday but am now focusing my attention on internet shopping. small steps toward productivity... or at least that's what i tell myself...
I buy those orange and black candies for myself every year. It is reason #243 why Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year.
I remember those things! -kelly
