Hey look, here I am. It's been a few (LONG) days. I may or may not have to work (at my painting job (!!!)) tomorrow at 7am, which is clearly why I'm still up and not passed out in bed. Meh. Started work on Pirates of Penzance at the Englert, which is great fun, despite the long hours of manual labor that I'm ridiculously out of shape for and that ( Read more... )

Why yes, I believe France kicked ass once again. On to Portugal, my friends. Speaking of which, how 'bout that red card in the England/Portugal game? (Rooney stepped on the sensitive area of a Portugese player, if you didn't see it). OUCH ( Read more... )

So yes, apparently the IC fireworks are on the 3rd of July, Monday. Everyone's meeting at the rock, I'll try to be there mid-afternoonish to claim a spot, other plans permitting. Bring food and/or frisbees, etc. You know the drill ( Read more... )

Oh boy howdy, it must be one sad night in Spain. Rock on, Frenchies. Heeheehee.
That's about it for now.

Today I think I shall watch soccer. This morning's game wasn't too exciting, despite Movie Crew cheering it on, but Portugal/Netherlands is pretty cool. I really haven't done much today. But it's a lazy Sunday, right? Sure ( Read more... )

A 4-year-old playing Hopscotch is pretty much the cutest thing ever. Hehe. The 4-year-old said he wants to be a (Mormon) Missionary when he grows up. K. Anyway, babysat for 5 hours this morning, urg. But now I have money, which is amazing. The past few nights have been fun: tromping all over Hickory Hill and Downtown with Muffy, then hilarious ice ( Read more... )

Bleeah, what a night. Went to Leah's at 11 and hung out till 1, got stopped by a cop cause I swear the speed on Dubuque was 35, got a stupid breathalizer test but no ticket, got back in without the parents waking up, tried to go to bed. Then the fun started. Another huge storm in the middle of the night, accompanilied by our fire alarm going off ( Read more... )

I'm home from Maine. Yay. It was genearally fun, and cool to meet obscure relatives for the first time and figure out how we're all related. Some parts of the trip in that respect were pretty bizzare. I have pictures. I want to see people soon, and also get away from the parents for a bit. 8 days is way too long. My tummy hurts, and I still need a ( Read more... )

So I finally got a new (to me) ipod for $98. Meh. Lauren's money goes, "bye bye!" but it should get here before Maine. I also applied to be a clerk in the Cancer Center at the UI, 40/week at 7/hour, could be worse. Perhaps they'll call me tomorrow. Got a B+ in Linguistics, which is sad and brings the GPA down a bit.. oh well. Also could be worse. ( Read more... )

I adopted a horse yesterday. He's my facebook pic and he's sticking his tongue out at you because he's that cool. I have a bunch of other pics of him because he's wonderful. That said, I don't want to try to draw him. Eep. Set's pretty much finished though ( Read more... )
