Life
I swear to god my roommates cat has some form of ESP. Just as I decided to actually stop fucking around and do some homework he comes bounding onto me purring up a thunderstorm to rival the one outside.
Went to House on the Rock with Steve today, after learning about the mindfuck that is the indirect speech construction in Latin.... The House was amazing in a creepy way. I really really liked it, even though it was extremely pacific northwest winter the entire time. I kept having flashbacks to scenes from American Gods though, and then subsequently reading American Gods in Russia. Must re-read. The infinity room was the best though, because you could feel it swaying in the insanecore wind.
Also apparently House on the Rock wasn't made by Frank Lloyd Wright, it was made in retalliation by a rejected student of his. Apparently Alex Jordan Jr took a design to Mr. Wright, and Wright was like "U SUX" so Jordan was then like "WHATEV, IMMA BUILD A HOUSE ON THIS ROCK". And then it sort of devolved into insanity.
After that we went to Wollershiem Winery, which is about the largest winery in the midwest I guess. We showed up in time for the last tour slot and were the only ones so it was kind of awkward because I didn't have many questions, and Steve was just following my lead. She took a semi-awkward picture of us in the cellar that I kind of adore. I learned some stuff about wine I guess. There was a tasting at the end, and their wines kind of suck. Very sweet and flat reds, but their desert wines were tastytasty. Maybe I'm a heathen, but just because it has alcohol in it doesn't mean it should taste/smell like nail polish. Also I just cannot enjoy white wine if it is cold out I think.
Then we like drove past his parents house and went home where I have been procrastinating doing my homework ever since. A good day I say.
Now to write an assignment on Love...... Totally the wrong month for that to not be really more than I want to think about :/
