Going here for dinner (and, more importantly, beer) with Baps (and I dunno possibly other people?) Friday night.  I am so excited because:

• OSTRICH QUESADILLAS
• 300 KINDS OF BEER
• SWEET POTATO FRIES
• A MYRIAD OF OTHER CULINARY DELIGHTS THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE MY FOOD SELECTION IMPOSSIBLE AND EXPENSIVE.

Friday, come quickly!

Also, my computer sucks.  It has ( Read more... )

Running through the cornfields with glowsticks tonight = fabulous.

However, I am quite itchy now.

I'm drumming two times this weekend! TWO TIMES! SO EXCITED.

This weekend was so exhausting.  Fun, but exhausting.  The Christensens' Thursday night was great...wasn't too big of a crowd, considering they were expecting a lot, but it was great to see everyone that did show up and have dinner together and just sit around and enjoy one another's company.  I finally got to hold Gabby, for the first time, which ( Read more... )

Reading/Presentation/Response List for EN 485-Senior Research Seminar - FINAL!

* Underlined are works that have been retained from the original list

1) Victoria Bonito - Toni Morrison, Beloved (Glynn response)

Ehhh...what I've read about this does not excite me.  But whatever.

2) Kathleen Glynn - Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina (Bonito ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm pretty sure I'm made of fail.  I need to write my next assignment for Creative Non-Fiction and, as per usual, I'm sitting here wasting time instead.  My work ethic is more or less non-existent.  At the very least, I kinda have an idea of where I wanna go with this one, so after Movie Monday (or maybe even during) it'll be written BEFORE I ( Read more... )

Halloween was lovely, considering there was essentially no candy or costumes involved.

Well.  I did have my Villa uniform on for when we saw the movie.  But yeah.  Me, Nate, Marie, and Izzy saw Dan in Real LIfe which was really cute and a good movie that you should probably go see, if only for the awesomeness of Steve Carell.  And, according to Nate ( Read more... )

Yet another weekend of CFX-activity-induced sleep deprivation has come and gone.  We spent the weekend at Malvern for a family retreat, which was essentially us plus a bunch of parents plus a bunch of kids ranging from the ages of 3 weeks to 15 years old or so.  And actually, it was really fun.  It was Tom, Rick, Baps, Shannon, Marie, and me, so it ( Read more... )

Just got back from the best thing ever.  A few of us (a.k.a. me, Margaret, Steph, Marisa, Nate, Lauren, Mark, and John) decided to play a Four-on-Four Ultimate Frisbee game this afternoon for intramural practice/fun.  So we got to the gym and the courts were full, so we were like, "Eh, it's not raining too hard, let's go do it out back."  Well.  It ( Read more... )

It's been...a while.  Mostly because the same thing tends to happen each day, and it's something to the effect of:  I get up, go to work, have classes, hang around the Heights/go shopping/do schoolwork, wind up in Suite Sexy til midnight or so, go to bed, start it all over again.  I lead an exciting life.  There are some funderful freshmen this ( Read more... )

So I've officially been back on campus for a week, and there is much to be said, classwise and social-wise.  As far as classes go, this is the first time when I at the very least like every class, and thoroughly enjoy most.  The Time theme for Contemporary Lit warrants a lot of unusual reading, which is more than okay with me.   Art of the Middle ( Read more... )
