I'm barreling through Mansfield Park...not. lol. I am in the third part of the book now. I find it interesting that Austen originally wrote and published "Mansfield Park" in three parts. After I finished the second part I concluded that I would have been on the edge of my seat, waiting to see if Sir Bertram would actually listen to Fannie or if he ( Read more... )

I finished watching the first and only season of "Freaks and Geeks" the other day, which I really, really liked. I had watched about half of the episodes before, but never in order and never with the original music, which does matter. Speaking of the original music, I'm listening to Grateful Dead's "American Beauty" album which was featured ( Read more... )

I just took ten plus boxes and bags of books, old clothes and various flotsam to the Salvation Army. Thank goodness for Dad's rolling cart or otherwise my back would hurt more than it already does.

We got lunch at the Mexican place and then we went to the Bronx neighborhood library. I picked up a couple of ( Read more... )

This morning has been slow and snotty, but I have some good news.

First of all, my roommate Z  called early this morning to tell me that she went ahead and bought our "This Is It" tickets for Nov. which is unexpected but nice.

Also, in the continuing saga of my loan and Fin Aid situation, I have been waiting on my refund check for about two weeks ( Read more... )

I woke up today and my left eye was bloodshot and creepy looking. I believe I burst the blood vessels due to my copious coughing all night long. Bleary eyed and feeling much like I looked I stumbled to the bathroom and was forced to have two separate conversations with my roommates before I was ready to have conversations with anyone ( Read more... )

So I recommended the Zune software awhile ago...well they updated recently and if you haven't already installed the new updates you should! There are all sorts of new features and I do believe it may even be faster than it used to be.
