i finally went skiing today! it was so wonderful that i'm kind of furious at myself for not just shelling out to buy a pass. the best part was that because it's a weekday, the only people on the mountain were us and the GMVS kids, which meant that we could bomb down any trail as fast as we wanted without having to worry about mowing down flatlanders or their children. next christmas break i'm going to ski every day to make up for my gross negligence this year.
yikes, i can't believe i'm going back to school in less than four days. part of me is all, "i don't want to do work! i like lazing around in my pajamas all day!" but i think it's for the best. my brain is totally atrophying from lack of intellectual stimulation, and besides, i miss the new york times.
it has been a lovely break, though, even if i've hardly done anything useful. i enjoy getting to be ridiculously lazy once in awhile, and if nothing else at least i've spent loads of time at the gym. of course, i'm so comically out of shape that the only practical upshot of this is that i'm in a constant state of being unable to walk, but endorphins are fantastic. we'll see if i can drag myself to the gym more than once this semester.
the combination of watching dr. strangelove and reading a really depressing book about capitalism is putting me in this incredibly twitchy mood. clearly i need to go watch some more of the OC, because seth cohen always cheers me up. mindless entertainment, here i come!
