I just found out that the man that bankrolled my scholarship and helped me go to Alma College passed away. I didn't get to know him very well--he was sick the last couple of times I was supposed to meet with him--but he really seemed like a great guy. RIP Dr. Swanson, you made a difference in a lot of lives.

It's currently 2am. I just got home from work. I have to leave for my other job in less than 5 hours. Boys are messy, as is shown by the way they leave their dressing rooms. On the other hand, it was an amazing show (Gin Blossoms and Josh Kelley) so I can't really gripe ( Read more... )

I hate the fact that there are mice in my house. I live in the basement, where they hang out. Not good.

I wish they would get caught in the regular moustraps. Instead, they just eat the peanut butter and scurry away. Jerks.

Unfortunately, they do get caught in the glue traps. This poses a problem. We can't really put them outside, because we don't ( Read more... )

Warning: this is going to be a very random, roller coaster of an update. I think I'll steal Missy's method of pluses and minuses ( Read more... )

The thing is, they said they probably ( Read more... )

I've decided that I want to go to the Renaissance Festival for their Scottish weekend (Aug. 26th and 27th)...anybody interested? I don't care which day, at the moment I'm not working either one ( Read more... )

okay, so there is this movie called on right now Demon Island. The alternate title for this amazing work of art is Piñata:  Survival Island. The basic plot is that sorority and fraternity members from a college go to an island to compete in a bunch of contests and win glory for their group. One of the events is to find a bunch of piñatas in the ( Read more... )

I miss people. I finally have a friend moving to Ann Arbor (yay!) but she will be starting med school shortly so I am not really expecting to see her a lot. All in all, I need to make friends in the Ann Arbor/Ypsi area. This was so much easier in college. I have, however, recently gotten to hang out with a few people who were nice enough to make ( Read more... )

so, I have a job...kind of...again ( Read more... )

ok, so you know what totally made my day today? I was driving around with my sister and her husband, and in Ypsi we see a homeless person sitting along the side of the road with a cardboard sign. As we're passing by, I try to read what his sign says, but I don't get a chance because he puts it down for a second.  Why, might you ask? Because some ( Read more... )
