Well I had a really nice break--New York (lots of expensive food and tea shops! Tea & Sympathy, Alice's Teacup) with Hannah and St. Louis with Robin. Plus I got to see Sky! Hello, Sky. I'm glad things are looking up... and don't worry about Hannah. I had tea with her and her friend, Emily, and they talked a lot about high school and people I ( Read more... )

This was a weird night. Sex-themed acapella, a girl doing a striptease and dislocating her knee, the prim rich Minnesota Emila lap-dancing with her female friend... I didn't have that much fun, but the picture was silly. The two girls on the outer edges I don't even know, then from left to right it's Hannah, Julia, Sarah, and me.

I'm in love with Wales already-- I think I'm going to have to study abroad there, unless by some miracle I get into Cambridge (and to do that I suppose I've got to first apply...). Here's something I found on wikipedia about University of Lampeter, Wales ( Read more... )

This will be a quick entry but it has been a long time since I updated, and I figured I ought to throw something out there before I begin the long journey home. It's spring break for me now, and today in Poughkeepsie a sudden spring arrived, the air is warm and moist, smells of brine and mud, and it makes me want to see the ocean. I found Buffa ( Read more... )

It's an absolutely beautiful day today, a spring day, warm and mild, the sun shining and the clouds turned lavender by the setting sun. This morning it was muggy, raining, with mist on the ground, and now this! None of us can believe it-- I fear that winter is going to have to make a prolonged return to make up for such incredible weather in ( Read more... )

I'm heading back to Vassar tomorrow in the wee hours of the morning (as always) though I won't arrive until late at night. Along the way I hope to watch as much Once Upon A Time In the West as my single computer battery allows me, read more of Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom, and maybe finish this week's entertainment weekly ( Read more... )

we wanted to make a fish cake, but it didn't work out-- anyway we had six bottles of andre champagne, and it was a good night.

Hannah and whitebear:

What better way to spend my odds and ends of free time than by writing a livejournal entry? I'm listening to Sufjan Stevens' A Sun Came, which was his first album, and it's so-so. You can definitely hear the 90s rock influences, and at one point it even sounds a little Elliott Smith-y. Don't ask me how. Anyway this week has been sort of strange ( Read more... )

Here are some crazy pictures Hannah and I took today because it was beautiful, and we wanted to walk around and be silly.

You know, my old mixes are actually pretty good. I'm sitting at my desk and outside its another beautiful day-- the weather has gone suddenly lax, and by that I mean the cold has drifted away in favor of lovely warmth, and the leaves of the prettiest tree on the quad have changed to the kind of red you feel you can drift up into. I'm also eating ( Read more... )
