It is the night before I head back to New York for the start of another school year. This makes me somewhat sad and nostalgic and homesick already ( Read more... )

After my last post about awesome guys in awesome books, I felt it only fair to have a similar post about awesome gals in awesome books. Yet, when I sat down to compile the list, the list was awfully short. Being a woman, I felt awfully slighted by my self.

It becomes a doubly dire issue as, if you think about it, there are more than plenty of books ( Read more... )

I have a problem when it comes to reading books.

I start out, and everything is fine. In fact, it's better than fine; it's lovely. I'm enjoying myself, curious to read more about whatever storyline is developing, and then suddenly before i know it, I'm in way over my head and i just HAVE TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS. There are only two course of action ( Read more... )

it is cold in this library of mine, and so accordingly, i have developed a cold. Only I can develop a cold in the middle of July in the Northern Hemisphere. Talent, I say.

yesterday, a precocious (and annoying) child at the library asked me how old i was. this is kind of how the conversation went:

KID: How old are you?
ME: (heh heh, wouldn't you like ( Read more... )

I have graduated! YAY!!! Though technically, I haven't since a grade got submitted late. My summer has consisted of working at my local library, where in the Youth Service's Section, I get to boss around the Teen Volunteers and color a lot. I feel like I've reverted back to childhood with the coloring, though I suppose it's a nice a break from ( Read more... )

I've been doing a lot of reading on the Baroque/pre-Baroque music period as part of my Baroque Performing Practice Class (which, surprisingly enough, makes sense). I've learned a lot of things, such as the fact that repeat signs used to be just decorative things at the beginning/end of pieces before they had a function, that the earliest metronome ( Read more... )

I am waiting for the plumber, who is to come and look at our toilet problem, which has miraculously fixed itself--albeit temporarily, and he has exactly one hour in which to get here before i will LEAVE regardless of whether or not he shows up. i hate waiting for people. i hate maintenance people who ask for a "window of time in which you are ( Read more... )

Today is officially the start of the second week of classes at school and my internship. I am exhausted, and have already not showered TWICE in 48hrs in the past week. This is not a propitious start to the school year. It's a good thing human phermones strongly attract (or dispel) people.

For those of you who I haven't mentioned it to (which ( Read more... )

i have been in a lovely mood for the past couple of weeks--ignoring my emails, procrastinating and laying about the house as diligently as possible--when i woke up this morning and realized that i will be back in new york for good in about 3 days. this is bad, as i have a whole list of things that still need to be done, preferably before school ( Read more... )
