I lived to tell...




I survived another girls night, and I have to tell you, it's not as simple or easy as it sounds.

Yesterday was actually quite a busy day. I started with a migraine that would've liquified the sturdiest brain (I didn't have a chance). Excedrin didn't touch it, stretching and massages didn't touch it, sitting with my head still and hoping the dark whirlies would disappear didn't touch it. You get the point. It went away on its own sometime around 4:30...just in time for the gathering.

Before the gathering could begin, I got my hair cut! No more shaggy, weird curls for me. Now I have short, sassy, very-dark-brown-with-caramel-highlights curls.

As for girls night, as much fun as it was, there's not much to tell. 1) because we always sort of do the same thing--eat, drink, talk 2) we did a lot of the aforementioned drinking which made me forget what we talked about. Undoubtedly, the star of the night was the Cookie Dough Delirium cake from Coldstone Creamery that I picked up after my hair appointment. It came home with me. We're getting married and having little ice cream cakes as soon as possible.

On the sadder side of things: Gene Yang declined my interview because of a wealth of other committments. I'm not bitter (yes I am [no, I shouldn't be {but I am}]). No, really. I'm not bitter.

I need to work on my thesis today and clean up my bedroom (looks like my closet vomited everywhere). All I really want to do is write and finish reading Blue Angel.

Review and hair pics forthcoming.

A brighter day...

There have been some good reports from the direction of NC, so those prayers must be helping. Keep 'em coming because we aren't out of the woods, but the good reports certainly do make the days a little brighter.

In other news, I have nothing to report.

I'm busy, as usual. I should be busier doing things related to school, but it's much more fun to get the April issue of Estella ready to go and to read fun stuff!

Here's what I need to do:
Finish The Secret Garden, since I didn't finish it on my trip.
Grade papers.
Re-read and polish my conference paper for Nashville (I present on Saturday).
Write a letter for a professor.
Read some theory and write a response for Thursday.

Here's what I've been doing:
Reading Call of the Weird: Travels in American Subcultures for a review.
Prepping Estella.
Playing SIMS2.
Getting 2 new tires on my car and got my car inspected.
Teaching a class.
Checking e-mail (several times).
Reading blogs.

Meh. Responsibility is a drag.

What's everyone else up to?
