I'm spending the week in Duluth with my Nana, aunt and uncle, and cousin Andy. My grandmother has gotten amusingly surreal ( Read more... )

I'm packing my sister's dorm room up, and tomorrow we are going to go contra dancing in New York. It's been a while since I was in Boston and I forgot how short the buildings are compared to New York. Personally I think it's a lot cozier that way, but it's disconcerting how different it is in my memory ( Read more... )

I have had really quite a happy 'winter' but I think with the start of school next week things will get a bit crazy. I can tell because I have started making art again. Whenever my mood starts changing, I get really agitated and start all these weird creative endeavors. This is probably constructive and therapeutic. However have to remind ( Read more... )

I return triumphantly to Jersey! Visiting Boston was incredibly good. Thank you so much to everyone who put up with me, especially those who also put me up. I think I will write more when I am not a puddle of heat-stroked mush and the arrival of my sweetie is not immanent.

I emerge! I emerge victorious like a burrowing owl who has narrowly escaped death by bulldozer! Incidentally, have you seen those birds? They are SO FLUFFY ( Read more... )

Mommy of the Ants just told me about Beatrix Potter. All these years I had written her off as a merely a purveyor of cutesy animal books, but it turns out that she was actually a very skilled and respected scientific illustrator of mushrooms ( Read more... )

9 hours sleep and still exhausted! What the hell is wrong with me? Other than the obvious. I have to run to class, where I will be berated for skipping the last one, and haughtily stared at by my lab partners who wanted me to finish a report that is due in 10 days (but for some reason they insist on handing it in early). Anyway, life is at ( Read more... )
