Ooooooo! I'm very excited. Since I'm dropping my psych major, I can take one more class this next semester ('cause I no longer need Abnormal Psych). One of my "wish list" classes is available and being taught by a professor I really want to take a class with. Wheeeeee!

That's good, vw! What class is it?

I too have been up since gronk o'clock. I have washed dishes and taken my morning "constitutional" as the ex calls it, and am preparing to do laundry as soon as the laundry room opens. I long for a house.

I think I may buy those miniature hearts on ice for the ex for his birthday. He likes miniatures and murders, so, perfect.

What class is it?

American Romanticism.

Go you on being so productive. I haven't been so much.

cereal, which I just had: Laura, there are many days when "Zenkilly" would be a much more apt screenname for me!

and milk: What's American Romanticism? Literature?

What's American Romanticism? Literature?

Yes. Here's the course description:

A study of literature as a reflection of social and cultural changes occurring from the 1830s through the 1860s. Attention to both the most famous traditional "romantics" (Poe, Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Melville, and Whitman) and to the important "minority" writers whose works, published in the same period, helped to change the tradition (Fuller, Douglass, Truth, Stowe, Jacobs, and others).

Happy Birtday Cass!!

I've had an interesting weekend. Friday night I went to see The Alaskan Pirate and His Salty Seamen, who are really cool. They sing traditional and original drinking songs. There's a woman in the band and she had a great corset. I looked hot and felt hot.

Shallow Fashion Details: I wore a patchwork babydoll top with thin straps, it's various shades of blue with some beaded detail. I also padded my cleavage heavily by doubling up on the inserts that come in most of my bras. THis was with knee length flared denim skirt and gold t strap flats. My accessories were: my tiara, dangling earrings, and tons of glitter gel.

I went with R and his friends, all geeks. It was so fun to be able to talk about stuff not be the weird geek. There are pictures. We were invited to an after party, but that never happened. R and P were dressed as pirates and everyone kept asking them if they were in the band.

There were pictures taken, but I have to get my email address to P so he can send them to me.

However, I ended up staying up until almost 7 am for various reasons, I went home and took a full dose of medicine becuase I felt so wound up,and I slept until 5:45. Which means I missed the belly dance thing I wanted to go to and was very late for dinner with my family.

But all in all a good weekend.

Gronk. I should have gotten up earlier, I still need to bake brownies, make pasta salad, and get dressed before Dave gets home at 1 so we can go to his dad's house.

Happy Father's Day, to all the buffista dads!!!

Happy Father's Day, to all the buffista dads!!!

Thanks!

We had a lovely early Father's Day celebration yesterday when my best man, Alex, and his family came to visit yesterday. I've known Alex since we were fifteen, so it's weird and moving to me when I'm cuddling with his baby daughter, or when Emmett's running around in a field with him playing catch with a nerf football. It's a Billy Pilgrim feeling like you're slipping back and forth in time. Almost like the past is an overlay on the present and I can see myself playing with Alex when we were kids even as we're playing with each other's children.

Since my Dad is functionally blind now, JZ had us make a tape for him. Emmett recorded a play by play description of his Sacramento tournament, and then we recorded the doppler heartbeat of the Halloweenie. My Dad was very happy with that.

Aww. This is a very sweet idea.
