I heave a great breath. Not quite a sigh, or, at least, by know means a great sigh, but a great breath still. Scav Weekend closes.

I just made $32 to draw portraits of the Chaskin children in charcoal for Scavenger Hunt. I also auctioned off caligraphy for $8.00 and cleaning/organizing Joe Levvy's room for $16.00.

The actions that the actors perform onstange are ( Read more... )

Yay! I'm so excited! My house just elected me vice-president. Damn, I was surprised. Jordan, our RA, nominated me. Joe decided not to run for president this quarter because he was ready just to be a member of the house and not have to hustle anybody or be all bureaucratic. He said he wanted to be like Rusell Crowe in Gladiator on his way back ( Read more... )
