hey, remember when i updated this thing? yeah, i didn't think so.
i guess i don't think there's anything exciting going on; but i guess it has been. sometimes i feel like it's been this summer of me being invisible or ignored or just in hiding. or more likely all three.
i guess stuff has been happening. i went to arkansas. did arkansas things.
i've been to a few river concerts here in st. mary's. been up to dc a few times, seen some friends.
asilverkey showed me the memorial to the silver spring town drunk. i can only aspire to that. after that, we went to show at black cat. it was fun. monotronix was what i really remember. just ... like ... wow. energetic is an understatement. showered with beer drunk from someone's trainers is more like it. another band, forgot which, the singer hung from the rafters. i really wanted to see matt&kim, but i had to catch the metro, so phooey.
saturday is tilly and the wall with maybe some of those same offenders?
nodgerkith and i had tea and scones in leonardtown. i <3 tea and scones.
mostly, i've been putting things into boxes. the movers come tuesday, and then i'll pick mum up at national and they'll meet us in gettysburg that evening. i am excited about more money and lower cost of living, but i am sad to be leaving the students here. i really enjoyed my classes. probably too much. it's been a nice year, but move on time is here. sigh.
i am looking forward to next year, though. my colleagues were all very cool. and i'm going to love living downtown and being able to walk places. i'm getting a smaller flat, getting rid of a lot of things. just trying to take up less space, i guess.
i'm trying to convince mum to go to nyc with me while she's up.
also, how insane would i be if i decided to go to germany for a few days in january? i want to go to worms and speyer. (ranking: 1= dali's not crazy 10= turn's out, dali's not crazy).
