a void

is it disgusting to drink a cup of coffee that has been sitting out for 24 hours? cuz i am going to. the microwave will kill any bacteria, right? it still tastes fine. i don't want to have to make up a whole new cup and waste this perfectly available cup. coffee's pretty pungent, anyway...

there is this dog that lives in the yard on the other side of our fence. these people have a huge yard, but they keep the dog encaged in a smallish chain-link enclosure. the dog howls a lot. it makes me feel like i live in some sherlock holmems story. hounds of the baskervilles. it wails and howls and after hearing it so frequently over the past year that i've lived here, i can kind of tune it out. whenever i notice it, i think to myself, "hounds of hell." all you can do is pity the dog. people have called the aspca or whatever and i guess there is nothing anybody can do. i wish i could take it for a walk. stupid dog-abusing neighbors. why even have the dog? sheesh. they never interact with it except to tell it to shut up. come ON!

this morning my other neighbor was leaving for work and he shouted to the dog, "Thor! Nein!" the dog speaks german?

i'm scared to go to my graduation! it makes me nervous.
