catching up
Haven't posted in a week--been actually working for a change. I think once I said "So fuck it, you procrastinate! Who cares?" I actually liberated a lot of creative energy. We'll see, all I know is I turned in a 2 and-a-little page biblio (non-annotated, it's preliminary) to my prof yesterday (yay!) and I have been doing photcopying and reading. Even found some stuff for my weaving technology readin--plus I'll be plowing through Irene Emerey's book, agh, The Primary Structures of Fabric for that reading. Sooo...the next couple of weeks will be thesis writing of some kind or another.
SBG is sick but had to go to school today for exams--we're experiencing "air stagnation" due to an inversion so I guess that can be hard on people who are sick or have respiratory issues (like asthma, yay me). I'm doing fine but I think it's sort of pushing SBG's cold into her chest or at least making breathing harder. Poor baby. So I went to the store today and got her some favorite treats, some juice, lozenges and tissues; then I picked up some DVDs for her to watch when she gets home, including the Harry Potters so we can go see the new one tomorrow. I also made her favorite soup (Ezo Gelin, Turkish "Bride's Soup") from scratch. I hope she will feel taken care of and loved when I bring her home!
We're going to her aunt's for Turkey Day and I'm looking forward to that--her aunt rocks and I love getting to watch her family, they are a crazy-ass hilarious bunch. Plus, I don't have to cook (although I love to cook, it's sad to do it for only two and it's an expensive holiday) except for a couple of pies. SBG adores her aunt and cousin so I think good times will be had.
For some reason, when I listen to this U2 album (How to Dismantle and Atomic Bomb) I get melancholy. I wasn't sure how much I liked it when it first came out (I'm a huge U2 fan) but it has grown on me...it's a bit of a sad pensive album really, aside from "Vertigo." So I have to be careful when I listen to it. I end up thinking about my parents (both deceased) and it makes me feel sad. Not all bad..sad and still and conscious is okay sometimes.
God...I love my friends, I hope they know that. They're all the family I've got. Be blessed out there, my far-flung friends (whether you read this or not).
