For the 19th year running I fell asleep before midnight on New Year's Eve. I did, however, consume something like a thimble of eggnog (seriously, that shit is strong), so I count the festivity quota as having been filled ( Read more... )

And thus begins the journey to find gainful employment--I've filed applications at bookstores, clothing stores, even as a Mighty Mites coach (to the uninitiated, this means teaching five year olds how to ski).

For a while, it was mostly cold days with the rare warm days sprinkled in, which was an occasion for me to dress up and lose my coat. Now it's like it dress up day every ( Read more... )

Spring break has been pretty uneventful--the first few days with mom and my sister were good, but since then I've been alone in house taking care of the animals, which is really only a problem because it entails me getting up for an hour early in the morning, after which it's hard to get back to sleep. I am recovering nicely from what shall ( Read more... )

I just got back from the campus center, where I read some Othello and had another hilarious round with Chinese Sandwich Guy ( Read more... )
