is it possible to ration out affection? you kind of have to if you don't want to seem like a creep. is there a mathematical way to figure out how much affection to give and what timeframe to give it in? how much is too much? how little is too little? you also need to make sure you don't run out of it.

on friday i met up with school friends (one who is almost done making her first pair of wooden glasses!) and later found another baja blast shirt and so had to buy it. then i took the el to visit my friend from science camp, who kept using the word "interesting" to describe his employed work. today i watched annie hall and almost finished my bolano book. i also read about manhatta/manhattan and how the terrain is actually quite hilly, or at least was before the city was developed. it was also the british fortress during the war, so lots of detailed maps were made about it so they could do their best in the foreign continent. 2007 marked the first year in history that more than half the world's population lived in cities. i then read my monocle magazine and felt really cultured yet also confused about which top 25 livable city i should live in. the only US city they mentioned was honolulu! what the heck. they also said montreal was bipolar.
