while this has been one of the most bizarre and hellish weeks ever, there are some very good highlights:

we have a kitten!
she's a 10 week old tabby kitten that molly and justin rescued from some crazy lady with three kittens.
we named her Zula.
she's really sweet and loves to cuddle and purrs like a motor boat and sleeps in my bed on the occasion.
hopefully phil will be able to take her at the end of the year, if not...i'm going to steal her.

i made it to the next round of the slam tryouts.
so did phil, justin, molly and chris and some other kids.
the judging was really fucked last thursday.
joe rectified most of it.
the grand slam is on tuesday and it should be pretty swell, but i need to write and practice.
if i don't make the slam team it won't be the end of the world.
i'm just trying to break out of being this "shy on-the-page" writer.
i need to be exposed.
i need to be uncomfortable.

two weeks left of the semester.
the snow today was so lovely.
i'm so happy i have an eastern hemlock outside my window.
it's like a winter wonderland behind my head, my ears and toes.
