There is an AMAZING thunderstorm going on outside.

Also yay for the power of wireless and laptops, that I can post this without fear of frying my computer.

Kara had an accident. A big one. And she keeps screaming about bugs, there are too many bugs, there are more bugs than people. I'ma ship her to Jilli.

Um, er, okay? I have a big yard she can run around in ...

I saw Plei & Paul & Tickybox last night. We were once again foiled in the picture-taking, this time because the battery in our camera was dead.

Today has involved brunch, buying silly gothic romance novels (yay!), buying stainless steel spiral earrings from the local bodypiercing shop, and running some errands. Next, I go work on altering a dress. But maybe I better Kara-proof the house ...

It was the very gothiness of her today, what with the screaming corndog and the bugs of death. I may keep her for a while if she stays in bed this time.

Next time, though, there's a big computer box in the basement. A couple of holes and bada bing, bada boom, Kara's your punkin.

So, please talk to me about something so I will stop looking up cases of stillbirth due to umbilical cord knots.

Anyone doing anything interesting?

I'm turning my final essay into "How to Make an Appalachian Quilt." It's probably only interesting to me, but...I'm willing to talk about it if it'll get you to stop looking that up!

yeah, i came across a post on another board that I should have just skipped.

So, is an appalachian quilt different from another one?

No. I don't think so. It's just that this is for my Mountain Tales class, so it's gonna be Appalachian. And I'm not really gonna talk much about quilting. I'm just going to assign each step to one of my points. I think it'll work and be kind of cool...show how my thesis is "built."

It sounds pretty cool.

It also sounds like you have done a ton of work today. When are you done with finals/paper writing/etc?

Who knows...it may end up being crap. But, I'm trying to be creative and make an impression on the prof, so I get a good grade. We'll see...

I have! And I even took a break to have dinner with a friend. I've just been plowing through stuff today.

When are you done with finals/paper writing/etc?

My last assignment is due on Friday, but I'm trying to get everything done by Tuesday, 'cause I'm on campus that day for a final. If I don't have to go back on Friday, that'd be nice. But, I'm also not going to push myself. If I need more time, I'll take it.
