In this dream, my sister was much younger. As in, she was three or four years old. She ran up to me, frantic because I had to go see something in the bathroom. I followed her to the bathroom, only to notice that a water main had broken and that water was spraying everywhere. I was immediately soaked through, enough so that my clothing was drenched ( Read more... )

me: You're very distraught about this lexolous move. I just read your comments.

Matthew: I could have played Afghanis and Geisha! You blocked em with Tart and Donut.

me: I'm a pregnant woman!! What did you expect??

The last class of the semester was last week on Wednesday. I have mixed feelings about the end of this semester. This Spring marks the end of my Masters coursework, my passing the Comprehensive Exams, and my (almost) graduation. I'm pretty sure I haven't shared the details here because it's been too busy around these parts, but... I had to take an ( Read more... )

Bert and I were back in St Croix, only it was and wasn't St Croix. We had decided to watch a movie in bed one night, so I was laying back, waiting for him to decide what we'd watch. Now that I think of it, the room bore a remarkable similarity to my bedroom at my parent's house. Complete with a twin-sized bed, a sticker on the headboard that says " ( Read more... )

I got home from a linguistics mid-term last night, totally exhausted. Weirdly, Bert was literally GRINNING from ear to ear when I walked in and unceremoniously dumped all of my textbooks on the ottoman. He immediately tells me, "Lisa!! You have to come upstairs because... Your computer... There's something wrong with it!" I was like, huh? Computer ( Read more... )
