Summer's lease is all too short, but Tarpartment's is all too long!
Sara and I have named our bed Le Lit du Beurre (The Butter Bed) in honor of its bright yellow sheets.
"Center Stage," one of my very favorite public radio show, is finally back! NPR only plays it during the summer, and I’ve missed it so much! I think I may love it even more than "A Prairie Home Companion," if it isn’t sacrilegious of me to say that. Mom and I saw the movie adaptation of "A Prairie Home Companion" this month, and it rocked! It was just as good as the radio show has always been. Garrison Keillor is simply the best ever.
Mom has been dropping hints (unsubtle ones) that she wants Sable to die soon. I hope she understands that if she takes even the smallest step in this direction, she will be dead to me forever. I think she wants Grandma to die soon, too.
This month I started my new job in the art gallery - working for Sara - and the most important thing I’ve learned so far is that cleaning acrylic cubes is easily the most pointless thing in the world. No matter how many times I coat them with layers of fine scratch remover and polish, the cubes always look exactly the same after I clean them as they did before. It simply doesn’t make sense, considering how expensive acryllic is.
Today I learned this about my three future roommates: They already know each other, none of them like to read, and they all love Bush, country music, and shopping. I'm trying not to be too depressed. One thing I remember from four years of Catholic high school is that Jesus was born in a stable -- a stinky, unsanitary stable full of fleas and manure. I have always taken that a lesson that really good things can sometimes come from really unexpected places.
Music of the Month: "What’s Left of Me," Nick Lachey; "The Riddle," Five For Fighting; "Single," Natasha Bedingfield.
Shakespeare Quote of the Month: "And summer's lease hath all too short a date." -- Sonnet 18. I'm taking a Shakespeare course in summer school, and this line was quoted by my professor when he explained why we were reading the plays so quickly, and why he wasn't making us write papers.
