Hello fandom! I am very behind and so have no idea what's going on except I have gathered that Pete's outfit was ugly at the VMAs and that everyone is more or less pro-the new FOB single.
I have been busy and also tired. The amount of reading is INSANE and I tend to fall back into my favorite avoidance mechanism, which is sleeping too much. I also watched the first season of The Riches this week and enjoyed it. I long suspected that it would be difficult to go wrong with the combination of Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver and it was nice that it lived up to expectations.
School is going well, and I do not yet feel like all of my time is being monopolized. I anticipate this ending very soon.
This weekend the presence of my New Orleans friends gave me an excuse to be touristy and we went to the National Gallery and the Library of Congress (I saw a Gutenberg Bible and made high-pitched, squealing sounds) and sat in the sculpture garden at the Smithsonian (wherever it is; I still don't know where anything is) listening to live Jazz and drinking a pitcher of Sangria. This city is beautiful, and it's . . . easy, in ways New Orleans was not, couldn't be. I don't know; it's a weird feeling, admitting that. But it was nice to have New Orleans friends and attitudes here. Of course you get drunk at noon before you go to the Library of Congress! Especially if you're all bibliophiles. Won't you appreciate the books more that way? New Orleans logic, I have missed you.
