Were some kind of event to happen in Jupiter, say, around New Year's and the normal alumni thing that goes on then -- which, I might ( Read more... )

So my going away present from work was one of those iPod speaker docks and it's pretty much my new favorite thing in the world. (Which I'm sure my roommate is just loving.) I can rock out anywhere in the apartment! At any time! Earlier I cleaned the kitchen just so the rocking out could continue ( Read more... )

You guys. I got a new job. I GOT A NEW JOB. I've wanted this for so long that it doesn't even seem real but it's true and it's awesome: I'm going to be doing communications and web stuff for a nonprofit, which is exactly what I want to do in exactly the field I want to be doing it.

I have no idea how I'd survive the winter without my hot water bottle. I only had a vague sense of what one even was before I moved to England, and then all the girls in the Neville's Cross house had them.
