Since I last got around to writing anything. And today, now that I'm no longer either sick or ridiculously busy trying to make up for being sick, I have a reason to do a little procrastinating. I have to write an eight-page analysis of a Beethoven piano sonata for Tuesday, so I think you can see why I'm not thrilled to be doing schoolwork right ( Read more... )

My computer is back! After two weeks of struggle with Dell Customer Support, we finally got it shipped out, fixed, and shipped back (if only it were really that simple ( Read more... )

So I don't think I'm going to update much here while I'm at Amherst ... just sayin ( Read more... )

even a meager two days in seattle gets me pining to be un-tied-down again, running around on buses with only a change of clothes and my iPod. All of a sudden, I'm a little apprehensive to be staying put in Amherst for four months. But I know that the adjustment will be a quick one, that I'll be in my own space again (finally) and keeping myself ( Read more... )

So it's 2006, and I'm feeling pretty good about it. I had a pretty low-key and extremely sober new year's eve with my family and cousins in my house, but the food was delicious so it was ok. also, we invented a 6-plus player, two-board version of Scrabble that was very much fun.
