Why is there nothing to do?
I am so bored. I slept in 'till 11:00 today. We drove around aimlessly. Went to Starbucks. Sat at B & N (again, we did this last night, too), went to Olive Garden for lunch, drove around aimlessly, tried to find a CD. They were all boring. We drove to Plan 9 and tried to find another CD. Got DMB, it's boring. Sub got Llama. It's boring, too. Walked around Carytown a bit, bought an ugly yellow 60's dress for 2.00 at Urban Artifacts. It is ugly, but definitely hippie. Not sure if I'm gonna wear it or not. I ALMOST bought a maroon and gold cheerleader outfit at the vintage store for Red and Gold day, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I am so anti-cheerleader, and I think I would feel really really not like myself if I were wearing a cheerleader outfit. But, I still may go back and get it, if I can work up the nerve. We drove around some more, saw a little bit of the movie filming on Broad St. (the movie is something with Anjelica Huston and Patrick Dempsey - set in the 20's, I think). It looked like they were filming some kind of parade, but we were far away. Didn't see anybody famous. Drove around some more, ended up at my parents. I'm now waiting for them to finish making me dinner (I did make the salad.) I AM SO VERY BORED!
I have about 10 pages left in Dandelion Wine, I guess I should finish that, and I have to read and get ready to teach Hamlet Act II. Oh. I've decided we're not doing House on Mango Street next. I want to do something else more interesting. Two books about kids and families in a row are too much. We're gonna do Night by Elie Wiesel next, so go buy it. I'll order some at B & N soon. It's horrifically depressing. Then, we're doing Othello. Also depressing. Ruthlyn, I think you're going to love Othello. Not sure why, it just seems like you. My goal is to get you all sad and miserably depressed about the world before Christmas. No, that's not really my goal, but we are going to be doing cold, dark, sad literature. Ruthlyn, we can study most of Jonathan's poetry in depth. That will make us all sad. But, it is good.
AAAARRGGHH. I'm bored. Meghann, I did a Google search on Carbon Leaf at Godwin. It seems that they are playing with Fighting Gravity at a concert exclusively for GHS (not our GHS!) students and faculty. So, how do we get around that? Get with your connections, and get me in! Lots of extra credit for THAT!
I'm going to go watch TV.
Later,
ME
