Tapestries, sheer dresses, cuckoos?
So I didn't have class this week. It's been quite wonderful and I'm not entirely sure how it has managed to be effectively over already. I have been somewhat productive, however...my tapestry is finally up in a manner so that it will not fall down (again). I worked for my professor for about 6 hours last night (woohoo getting paid!!). Laundry was finished finally. That leaves homework for today (I just might cry).
Tuesday I journeyed into Boston with Sir Robin and it was a grand afternoon/evening spent in the North End and Harbor areas. Those seriously have to be my favorite parts of town. Screw going to Cambridge and sitting in a starbucks doing homework...I'd much rather go clear some snow off a bench and sit by the water. The view is amazing and its so unearthly quiet...and if you get hungry, well, there's good seafood/italian/irish pubs/a dunkin donuts on every corner. I have found that Planet Aid is my demise. Amazing thrift store shopping PLUS I help people in third world countries as I buy stuff. So instead of simply basking in my ridiculously American over-indulgent splender, I'm helping to redistribute some of our investment capital to countries that need it. Or at least this is what I tell myself as I go "wow, I'm pretty broke" and still spend cash. Sigh...at least it was on a really great silver/blue tie and sheer purplish-red dress instead of food or booze.
I also read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest this break. I believe I have found another book to add to the "favorite books" list. It was absolutely fabulous; very sad, very striking and poigniant, impeccably written. Plus it was very fight-the-man-ish, which I've been in the mood for lately. I think I have too much latent disagreeability in me without a constructive outlet. I'm still working on finding that cause to devote myself to....sigh. One constructive thing I did with it though: I wrote a bitching paper about Plato's Republic about government mind control and how its bullshit. It's the first paper I've written that I've liked since I started college.
Time to run.
