I dreamt last night that the ocean was coming in through the windows. The waves were crashing against the walls, splashing their way inside. The water was rising and the three story high palm trees had water half way up their trunks. Inside, people were running around and trying to figure out what to do, but I was standing at the window watching ( Read more... )

This morning I woke up laughing. Probably one of the best possible ways to wake up.

My roommate woke up with the hiccups. Which is probably less pleasant, and also why I woke up laughing.

It rained today. And yesterday. And it's expected to rain tomorrow and possibly Teusday as well. This is rare. LizBeth tells me that this is our "season". The closest thing we have to winter is four days at the end of January when it rains. I took the opportunity to go to State Street and get thoroughly wet. The streets and sidewalks don't ( Read more... )

Surely only in Santa Barbara can you find granola bars sold separately for more than the price of a gallon of gasoline each. And surely only I am stupid enough to buy one anyway. And I got 4 oranges for the price of one granola bar. Whatever, oranges are better anyway.

Last night LizBeth's family came to watch her Christmas concert. They brought her TONS of food (why??? She is going home in a week!) including things like pringles, a 52 oz. bag of peanut m&m's, and a KEG of rootbeer.

Last night I discovered that my Greek New Testament has a dictionary in the back! It is rather surprising that I had not noticed this before. I have had one year of Greek, but by now have forgotten a good deal of it. So I spent some time yesterday reading out of it and feeling scholarly. And it's getting easier as I get used to the language ( Read more... )

I spent this morning wishing I was still asleep.

I spent this evening doing nothing.

Afternoon was best.
