It's been a while since I've really posted (and after I promised myself I'd write more regularly, too.)  So. . . hmm, this is just a general update of sorts.

Let's start with The Bad:

• I stabbed myself in the leg with an x-acto knife this afternoon when I was trying to get the &^#@#$% thing out of the  *#@#$! packaging. For some reason the cap was ( Read more... )

I can't figure out if I'm angry with him and his whole family or if I still like him.  Either way it's bad.

I am not eating any more warm, gooey, fresh-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookies.  I am not.  I am not even thinking about eating any more chocolate chip cookies.  I am thinking about wholesome raisins and apple slices.  And carrots.

Four days until the start of the semester.  I'm trying to make the ( Read more... )

Life has been eating me alive lately.  But the end is almost in sight.

Our performance of the Messiah was this evening.  Everything was lovely for the most part, except that there was an air conditioning vent or a fan somewhere, and it kept blowing my music shut.  I'd be sailing along through some difficult passage and the page would start to turn ( Read more... )

NaNoWriMo, art history test, house-sitting for neighbors, children's literature presentation, art history paper, american literature paper, performance of Messiah, back-stage person for community theatre performance, sign up for spring classes, children's lit. book logs, work, little brother's birthday, NaNoWriMo.

I've been having problems with my iPod NaNo for months -- it randomly freezes and restarts while I'm using it, to the point where it's UNUSUAL for me to be able to use it without this happening -- so I sent it in to have it repaired/replaced/whatever.

Apple charged me thirty bucks for shipping, and I had to make a special trip into town to have it ( Read more... )

Finished New Moon this afternoon.  Disappointed.  Kept getting impatient with the characters, plot and book in general.

I've been meaning to write this.  I'll make it brief.

My American Literature midterm was divided into two sections: question and answer, and an essay.  I got a high A on the question and answer, and a B - B+ on the essay, translating into an overall low A.

I was sitting in my seat sulking.  I could have done better.  (That's what I always tell myself ( Read more... )

Just finished reading Stephenie Meyer's Twilight, and wanted to jot down a few thoughts while they're still fresh.

First, I didn't expect to like it.  I did.  I started it this afternoon, and I'm already through with it.  I've heard so many people complain about its overhyped-ness that I was expecting something a lot less interesting, but I was ( Read more... )

I'm so tired right now that I'm not even tired.  Or something like that.  I've been up since seven-thirty this morning, after going to bed a little after five o'clock this morning.  Yesterday morning?  It's past midnight now.  Whatever.

The point is, I'm really, really tired.

Despite the fact that I put off reading and analyzing the thirty picture ( Read more... )
