June 22, 1998... 10:52 PM
Man, some days are so unproductive. Today I went to work, came home, watched hours and hours of destructive television, ate rice, and sat on the couch. Then, my housemate Morrine's boyfriend Rich took digital photos of some of us. Here are some faves for you all! Yay!
Here's Dirk Verbrugghe, another lovely housemate, with Maya's dog Cliffi. Cliffi is named after Cliff from the wonderful NBC sitcom CHEERS. Maya told me this two days ago, after I mentioned that Cliffi was a pretty masculine name for a female dog. Turns out the spelling is feminine enough, but the derivation is more masculine and bizzare than I thought! Oh well.
Yet another one of Cliffi, with my buddy Brian Chirls right behind her. While Brian was helping me FTP these photos to my page, we sang an interesting version of "Tonight" from WEST SIDE STORY. Brian pretends to have good taste in movies, but he really enjoyed the recent remake of GODZILLA, he told me. Yick.
Look. Just look how beautiful our house is. I just moved into a beautiful old townhouse at 40th and Pine here in Philadelphia. This cabinet is full of the empty liquor bottles of the past residents. You can see half of me on the right there.
This is me hiding behind a couch cushion as Rich tries to snap my photo without my permission. Grr.
On the left: Me. I look icky. It's 90 degrees outside and my hair is a lank mop. Center: Maya, with an elastic around her nose. Dirk is laughing at both of us on the right. An empty Absolut bottle, Dirk's chicken and rice dinner, some glassware, and a K-Mart circular all play prominent roles in this photo.
Maya and I stare at a candle. Like the reddish streaks in our hair? That's what happens with free time and money when you spend the summer at college. Here's how the conversation went:
Maya: I'm bored.
Hannah: Me too.
Maya: What do you want to do?
Hannah: I don't know.
Maya: ...
Hannah: ...
Maya: ...
Hannah: Why don't we dye our hair?
Maya: Okay!
Then, a trip to CVS, and the fun began.
Here's a picture of my dirty foot. Basically, it's up here as a reminder to me to wear shoes or slippers in the house. We don't clean here much, and the soles of my feel show it. Also, lately I've been favoring these cool black sandals to wear to work, and they leave black indentations on the soles of my feet.
More to come later! Woo hoo!

I got my hair cut! Here I am, surrounded by my buds Maya (left) and Maureen (right)
Here's a really cool photoshop compilation done by Blake Kritzberg.

So I was in a show called The Most Massive Woman Wins, and one night before the show opened, the silly newspaper came and took this revealing picture of me! Graa! Here it is, so I'm really not that embarassed:
