I am mere hours away from the start of my 11 day vacation. The last few weeks have been really rough, and I need this vacation to be nearly perfect. I'm just going to put it out to the universe that seeing the aurora borealis on the cruise would make me happy. First, I have to finish laundry, packing, and homework. And soon, off to Alaska.
My hope is that this trip will recenter me and make me less crazed, so here's hoping.
Even your dreams are square.
I hate people who pronounce template with a long A. Webster's agrees with me, as there isn't even a second pronunciation offered. Vindactite me, Noah Webster.
By contrast, I love forehead kisses. I also love seeing older product packaging when I watch old movies - like 1980s Pepsi cans and old Wheaties boxes.
So, I’m overwhelmingly busy. Drowning in my life and having migraines. It is super fun. Vegas was quite exhausting and weird. A cockroach actually fell on my head. For real. Will write more later. Kisses.
Just logging in to say hello. The start page for blogger was dedicated to baby blogs. The pictures were kinda scary because newborn babies (particularly Caucasian ones) are weird looking. Anyhow, I'm off to Vegas soon. Gonna try to finish Ka without any freak power outages. With a lotta luck, I will win the megabucks and will be posting next time from my solid gold chair. I don't know, maybe you have to custom order that kind of thing?
More than seven years were gone since this little history of sorrowful interest had reached its close; and time had softened down much, perhaps nearly all of peculiar attachment to him - but she had been too dependent on time alone; no aid had been given in change of place or in any novelty or enlargement of society; - No one had ever come within the Kellynch circle, who could bear a comparison with Frederick Wentworth, as he stood in her memory.

Woke up on the floor of the living room to Gloria Estefan telling Rachael Ray that she had lost her skirt on tour, to which Rachael replied NO! I'm pretty sure this wasn't a dream or a hallucination. I then climbed into an alternating hot and cold bath. It did make me feel better, but it reminded me of drivers' ed in high school. When they would ask you that trick question.
Which of these will sober you up faster?
A) a cold shower
b) a cup of coffee
c)Monsters
d)None of the above
Since my answer, tonight, would have been a) I realize I didn't remember a damn thing from drivers' ed except the underriding video. Underriding was when a car would slide under an unguarded semi-truck and the driver was decapitated. Scarred for life.
Bed time now.
My commitments for the next ten days:
10-15 minute documentary. I got 34 seconds done last night; it took 3 hours. Due July 23rd
8-10 page research paper about intercultural communication. I haven’t chosen a topic or done thing one for research. Due July 27th
Villi’s birthday – awesome, but consuming. Duties will include, but are not limited to, fetching drinks, cleaning the house, and acquiring birthday donuts on Sunday.
Company conference – will swallow my life next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from about 6 AM to 10 PM each day.
If I survive, I have a whole week off before the start of fall semester, but only if I survive.
My mania is manifesting itself in interesting ways. My last dream before I woke up this morning was strange. Michael Cera (of Superbad and Juno fame) and I were performing sketch comedy. Our sketch was about two people who had fallen in love playing Halo over XBOX Live. They decided to wear their headsets for the entire ceremony with the bride (me) carrying my controller instead of a bouquet. And then it was time to go to work.
Yep.
Probably no more posts for the week, but I look forward to returning to my former posting glory.
