For some reason, I watched The Proposal tonight on Netflix on demand. I'm still not sure what prompted me to do such a thing. I think I'm delirious from missing Steven.

The past few weeks have been a blur, and this whole weekend I've been recovering. Two weekends ago I drove to Wisconsin for my friend Bridget's bachelor/bachelorette party and wedding rehearsal dinner; I couldn't actually go to the wedding - there were so many people invited that apparently they were almost in violation of fire codes! I stayed in ( Read more... )

Yes, Florence + the Machine make crazy-ass videos, but this song is amazing:

I'm done teaching for the summer, but have a ton of grading to do. Longer post to come.

So, this weekend's trend seems to be posting pictures of myself doing fun things followed by pictures of craft projects I've been working on lately. Today's fun adventure: last night's pub crawl with my friend Jess and other ladies of West Liberty. Craftiness: awesome jewelry I've been making lately from these fabulous Industrial Chic charms from ( Read more... )

As promised, here are some pictures of recent awesomeness; as usual, I'm uploading pictures because I'm avoiding grading!

First, here are some shots from the 3rd of July celebration at Travis and Jess's; we played some lawn games, we ate lots of food, we waved sparklers about - it was a fantastic time!

Fun video of the day: Clem Snide covering Journey's "Faithfully."


Clem Snide covers JourneyI'm halfway done teaching my summer class, which is good, because I'm pretty tired of having to get up at 6:45 in the morning like a normal person. I've been doing some fun things, and I'm amassing pictures that I promise to post, someday. I've also been ( Read more... )

This week has been muggy, bizarre, and lame. Highlights include ( Read more... )

Last night as I was cooking (Turkey Enchilada Pie, which was good, but not transcendently awesome), I realized that my air conditioner wasn't putting out really cold air. I emailed the property managament people, and they want me to leave it off for 24 hours to determine if there's an "ice chunk" in it. Is this just bs? I haven't had it up as ( Read more... )

So, last night I went to this very cool event at the Englert Theater downtown for Charlaine Harris, the author of the Sookie Stackhouse books (the ones that they based the show True Blood on). First there was a concert by Jace Everett, who sings the theme song for the show, then there was a signing by Charlaine, and then they showed the third- ( Read more... )

This week got lame real fast. Monday was a great day in my class, but yesterday they all seemed to have become deaf mutes. Then, on my way home in torrential rain, my iPod died. And no, I don't think it got wet - it was in the pocket of my raincoat; plus, it's definitely gotten wet in a rain shower before. It was being finicky all day, stopping ( Read more... )
