Written on Sunday- I'm sore, sleepy from white tea (?), and have blisters on the heels of both my wrists thanks to kung fu. :P the white tea isn't thanks to kung fu, though, that's thanks to going to SPM (can I just call South Park that? well too late, I just did) and specifically Teavana to get tea with Pads. And I met her gay uncle. Which was ( Read more... )

Went to bed last night at 8; woke up this morning at 4 so I could a) sleep on the plane and b) better adjust to the time difference. IDK if it'll help, we shall see.

There was a moment this morning, after my niece and I had made crepes and eaten one each and she told me she wasn't feeling so good because of the whole waking up early thing and so I ( Read more... )

So, sometimes (like all the time), I wish I had connections. Because here I am, realizing that I probably need to look up details of my trip, and going "OH GEE IN FACT NO I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET TO SHERINGHAM FROM LONDON, HRMMM ( Read more... )

Today was pretty chillaxed. I watched Animal Cops Houston for a good, I dunno, five hours. puzzled at my state of illness for at least two hours. And.. I'm not really sure what happened to the rest of the day. I did get a graduation present from our next door neighbour which was almost unbearably sweet; I now am the proud owner of a wind-up alarm ( Read more... )

to make a long story slightly shorter, didn't have an epiphany moment at St. John's, I had several cynical moments and am now seriously scared/ ( Read more... )

Guess what book I just requested to be sent to my library?
I'll give you a hint. Its one and only review is "The master of those  who know" --Dante.

That's right, it's The Basic Works of Aristotle as edited by  Richard McKeon wherein it has Aristotle's complete Physics!
my nerdiness is only slightly justified by the fact that I'm reading this in ( Read more... )

Well, I'm back from the cold that is Europe  (in the cold that is my room, but I've only got one layer on so it is justified).

I realise, of course, that in writing these journals I'd be deluding myself in thinking anyone got amusement or enjoyment or information from them OTHER than myself, but if I feel better having written a bloody long entry ( Read more... )

Off to England tomorrow. I kind of forgot to tell people about that; but basically I'm going to England for spring break because I bugged my dad about it. He wanted to go to greece, I kept dropping over the top, obvious hints about England that I thought he would ignore, except he DIDN'T and now we ARE going to England because apparently no flights ( Read more... )
