So I worked during the tropical storm. This was intense. I got very wet, then reported for work at the one building in the Historic Area with a fireplace THAT DOES NOT DRAW. So I stripped down to shift, stays and petticoat (i.e. still fully clothed, but colonially naked) and ended up with my clothes strewn about on assorted ropes to dry off. ( Read more... )

So the past week has resulted in the formation of a band of pirates, with our ex-jockey coachman friend Tommy as our Pirate King, where we yell "HUZZAH!" at random occasions, yell "God Save the King!" when all the tourists are booing, and have secret codes for seeing the Interpreters that we like in the Historic Area ( Read more... )

So I took this meme that asks questions and you flip your iTunes on shuffle and get the responses. Didn't do the whole thing, but a few were so fantastic, I couldn't help but share:

Will I have a happy life? no one mourns the wicked - wicked
What do my friends really think of me? harry potter emo love song - big poppa e
Do people secretly lust ( Read more... )

So.....it's thesis time, and today was spent by me going absolutely insane. In a good way? I think. I was chattering up a storm, running around like a madwoman, and it rained and I was wearing mesh shoes - not a good idea. However, I found $10. Seriously. On the ground. What a fantasticly awesome thing ( Read more... )

So my dreams over this weekend seemed - and those of you who know him will know what I mean - like a twisted world / caffiene induced / something induced vision of Tyler's. We're talking "stallion that mounts the world" and the bat shoes. Tyler, have you been directing my dreams ( Read more... )

Good times (again) tonight with Shad, Cheryl & Josh. Plans made for everyone to be around with strong drinks when Josh's child Jesterson Mick Easterson (a girl) realizes her name is awful and comes in and tells Josh he's an ass. Also when Richard Richard Shadick (Dave's son) realizes his name is Dick Dick Shadick. Block out those dates on your ( Read more... )

Well. So I definitely wrote my thesis prospectus (ie. "What I Want To Spend the Next Three Months Obsessing Over") in about 20 minutes. Oh I am so very badass. (Except not, because it's history major badassery, which shouldn't count at all.) I'm going to wax poetic about fallout shelters and how to survive atomic bombs. Awesome ( Read more... )

I just watched Dr. Strangelove - FANTASTIC, by the way - and am calling it "research" because my seminar is on Eisenhower and my thesis is on Civil Defense. I win ( Read more... )

So, after two trips to the library, I officially have 19 books out, and have decided on my NEW IMPROVED thesis topic, that frankly, I need to write a new proposal now.

However! I now have a fun shelf of books about surviving atomic blasts!!
