Brooke downloaded the Parent Trap soundtrack. I've wanted that CD since I was eight. Brilliant.

&, speaking of Brilliant, the afternoon light is beautiful here. I can't wait for Spring.

So Tim Wise came to speak here today? He was amazing. Oh my god, if you get a chance to read his book, do it. What a splendid person ( Read more... )

Let's hope 2006 is better than 2005. I don't want to do any memes about it, because I can't at all remember the beginning of this year. That's the problem I have with memes, and the thing I like about "Best of 2005" TV specials ( Read more... )

The snow is coming, apparently, on Friday. All the snow. In the wake of LAST Friday's massive storm and the lack of school cancellations for NMH, they've preemptively axed school on the 16th. So our already-long break is extended by a day.

And I am sick. I have a fever which got up to 104, but I'm a trouper and I've been still going to class ( Read more... )

So I saw RENT, in the movie theatre, and I understand now why everyone and their sister told me that it was so great. It was pretty damn good, and apparently, the play is better.

There are a MILLION movies coming out that I want to see. Brokeback Mountain, Casanova, The New World, so many that I can't even remember them all. I suppose I'll be ( Read more... )

I went to bed at 10.30 and now it's 11.58 and I can't sleep. I hate tossing and turning, and I can't sleep in a hot room, which this one is, so I've opened the window and am sitting up for a little bit, hoping to get sleepier. I'll explain my pathological fear of sleeping in the heat, though most people who read this have heard it already ( Read more... )

I am at my grandparents' house, having less than a grand old time and more of just an old time. I am very tired. I feel tired the way I would if I'd been crying all day, but I haven't been. I'm also cold and getting fat. Therefore I have decided not to eat sweets anymore until I get skinnier ( Read more... )

So I am back in Amherst, nursing plans to see GoF this afternoon, watching TV like I usually do, and guess what I am watching. I am watching Laguna Beach. One of the episodes I missed in the furor of school. Laguna Beach reminds me of Christmas break at Brooke's last year, when I became hooked ( Read more... )

No more fall term. It's been a "journey," I'd say, but I'm not sure I want it to end. At NMH we get three Last Days of School each year. So Last Day #1 is done, and I'm finished with math until Spring Term next year, when I take Precal and Chem. I will miss my English class, but my teacher told me that she reccomended my taking Junior English ( Read more... )
