The Mastadon show was face-melting...as was expected. The support act, Priestess, was good. They had just a pinch of cock-rock in their sound, but they had dual guitar solos, so I can overlook the cock-rock element. Mastadon was AWESOME. For the first time in three years (when I last saw Opeth), I got that silly, testosterone-charged urge to mosh ( Read more... )

I have a lot to say, and I don't know how well I'll get it all out before I have to go back out into the freezing cold for my other two classes ( Read more... )

I feel like discussing cooking and work. I applied for Metropol thinking that I would be getting a job serving. But when Wendy first talked with me about the possibility of cooking, I was completely sold on the idea. I'm very fortunate to have come into a situation where there is such a deep commitment to learning at all levels, and an unwavering ( Read more... )

I think that this semester will be awesome. Symbolic logic will be, well, symbolic logic...and who knows what HIS 109 will be like, but color theory should be very fun and relaxing. Evolution and Ethics--I'm pretty sure--will be the best class I've ever taken! I'm soooooo excited about it ( Read more... )

I think it's high time we had a drag show.

I'm headed back to Lexington tomorrow morning. It hit me tonight--this Christmas break was the last time (as far as I can see...which admittedly isn't that far) that I will have spent a considerable amount of time living in my parents' house. I graduate, and I will then be full-time at Metropol. It will still be my mailing address for all ( Read more... )

Old girl has a lot on her plate these days. It's actually arranged in a very even and non-stressful way, though. I think this will be a good part in my life--the semester should be fulfilling, I have a wonderful and secure job, I am starting to form some goals (including the beginning plans of my grand escape to Sweden), and I have few interesting/ ( Read more... )

What an exhausting break. (Why is that always the case?) I'm finally going to have some time to do what I want...(Note: I mean, I DID want to, say, hang out with friends and stuff over the break, and I enjoyed it, but now I get some real "me" time ( Read more... )

After a tiresome day of sleeping in, eating greasy pizza, and watching such quality entertainment programs as Oprah and Judge Judy, Erin and Colleen have decided that a nap is in order. I feel like way too much of a bum to comply, so I'm doing this. Colleen's visit has been fun so far--filled with picture-taking, consumerism, poor diet and ( Read more... )

*with the voice of a thousand cartoon Peanuts characters* CHRISTMASTIME BLAH BLAHBLAHBLAH...

Merry Christmas all!
I'm just tooling around until the fam packs in. It will actually be a relatively small gathering this year...sadly, my step-cousins/brothers-in-arms/wish-they-were-in-my-arms/um...what? will be noticeably absent. That means it's just ( Read more... )
