One of these days I will do an entry when it is not late and I am not tired to pieces. That might be tomorrow! Maybe. Maaaaaybe.

Anyway, song: Sunfall Festival, "Still Still Still".

Well, those last couple days were a lot of nothing, hey? I was absolutely wiped when I got home on Saturday, and last night I was in Las Vegas with Mom and Sister2 and the hotel wanted to charge us $12.99 for 24 hours of internet, so I said, "Eh! Whatever." But it's been a great couple of days and perhaps I will say more tomorrow, and maybe even ( Read more... )

So I'm in Seattle, with floweredluggage, and tonight we decorated her place for Christmas, and tomorrow we'll work on baking cookies, and then she'll take me to the airport and I'll go home. Not bad, hey?

So, to be thematically appropriate, here's Sarah McLachlan, "I'll Be Home for Christmas."Sidenote: Being here means getting a glimpse of proper TV again, with ( Read more... )

Politics in the All-Star House are entertaining, and tend to involve me and Jason. We are the two Americans in the house. Coincidence? Definitely not ( Read more... )

We had our last house dinner and prayer for the year tonight, and I am kinda sad about that. Guys, I know I have been pretty reticent about life in general in this house, but can I say that it has been fantastic? I love this place, and the people I share it with. We've turned into this unit: we go places together, we have our in-jokes, we try to ( Read more... )

This last paper is coming along so, so slowly, now that I've gotten through all the initial bits on historical context and literary structure. But it will get done. By Friday. I'm making good enough progress that I shouldn't have to take it home, and how's that for a good feeling? Exegesis will stay in Vancouver ( Read more... )

I didn't manage to post yesterday, so here's two for today. The Layaways managed a remarkable thing, which is a recording of "O Christmas Tree" that doesn't drive me nuts. And from the Weepies, a nice little original tune (I think) called "All That I Want"Finally made some serious progress on the exegesis paper today. Hurray. Edging ever closer ( Read more... )

The Hollywood Theatre had a nice double-bill tonight of The Simpsons Movie and Stardust, which were both pretty great in their own ways. I knew I was the only American in the theatre when I was the only one who laughed at the "Geronimo!" "Sacajawea!" joke in the former. Cam came along for the first one but had to leave for a birthday party and ( Read more... )

As long as I don't think about it at all, the Heroes finale was good. The moment I think about it, though, I'm irked by a season of lazy plotting and characters who are horribly afflicted by TV Character Syndrome, in which they behave like morons for no discernible reason other than the fact that the plot requires it. Ah well ( Read more... )

I finally heard back from my thesis supervisor today, and it was all good news: he was happy with the revised proposal, considered it ready to go, said "congratulations on a very well-considered and important proposal." Glow. I had given up on having it approved by the end of term, but he apparently persuaded the chair of the thesis approval ( Read more... )
