I’m tired. I’m bushed. I’ll drink Monster, I’ll down gallons of Coke, I’ll take cat naps, I’ll go running . . . I am tired. Last night I slept walked through a lecture on Shakespeare. Normally, I’m ecstatic to talk about Shakespeare–but last night I couldn’t get my energy up there. I went to theContinue reading “soooo tired”

Today we barbecued. It was a great day for meat! I dug out all the old meat in the freezer and marinated it in a teriyaki ginger marinade. Then my roommate CJ and I had 4 hot and hungry men over for dinner. We all devoured the meat without blinking. I ate chicken, a burgerContinue reading “Meat”

Well, way too much money later–and the room is almost done. I’m going to Eastern Market tomorrow to get something exotic looking to put over the bed, and then I will officially have a decorated, livable room. I’m pleased as punch. I need to take pictures!! And post them!! But I’m laying in my newContinue reading

I don’t know if the subject line makes any sense at all, but . . . I have two freelance type jobs that I do–tutoring and photography.  As I was driving home last night I realized that I had completely spaced editing a paper for a tutoring student. How do you forget a project entirely??Continue reading “forgetful focus”

And a free ipod!  5) Took myselfContinue reading “Weekend Events”

Life is changing. I have been feeling really down and out lately. I could speculate on the whys and the wherefores, but I already know why, and I don’t really care if you know why! (Not that I don’t care, but the reasons are stupid and complicated.) Needless to say, things are looking up. I’mContinue reading “Great Expectations”

Last night we talked about politics and propaganda in World Literature. I wish it would have been a better discussion, but everyone kept stating the obvious and then moving on. I really need to come up with better questions. The content of this class intrigues me, but discussing literature for 4.5 hours is just stupid.Continue reading

Corey–The Bride Sybille Bruun–the director, of Hamlet, part 2. Heidi–I picked her and Marybeth up in Chinatown Thursday night and we caught up on her adventures as a casting agent in NYC. Rick–he’s now acting with ASC’s touring company. We went to grad school together. It was good to see him, even if it wasContinue reading “This Weekend”

Lots to catch up on. My first week of school, for this quarter, was wonderful. I am a little overwhelmed by my luck. I get to do a job I love, and make good money doing it! I feel very blessed. I’m teaching 6 classes this quarter–2 College Comp, 2 World Lit, 2 Ethics. IContinue reading “Best job ever”

Yesterday, I attended the baptism of a friend–Frank. After the baptism, while he and the missionary who baptized him were getting into dry clothes, we watched a video on Joseph Smith’s first vision. As I watched it, a few thoughts came to my mind. I jotted them down. Here they are! I believe it isContinue reading “The Consequences of Faith”
