OOPS

I promise, I didn't forget about my blog, I've just been a bit busy.

Now, for starters, Happy Bastille Day, to those of my FrancoPHone-Friends! Or as I like to write, the FPHF (sounds like "Ffffff") I shall celebrate by eating some pommes. I know, they're Belgian, but we'll pretend for shits and giggles.

On a much more serious note, I've had some turrrrible headaches lately. GD migraines! I'm not sure why, and I'd definitely like them to cease. Maybe I should get a restraining order?

Even more seriously, I think I've nailed down a time for my return to Deutschland! Hurrah! @Miriam, I'll email you with some specifics. It is still a long way off :'^[

I want to be back now!

Ok, that's it for today. Until next time.

i ride the fence between so many things.

"i'm jam handy!"

back a few months (years?) ago, maureen posted a video of alanis morissette covering "my humps" (which happens to be a truly horrific song).  the alanis version is pretty though.  anyhow, i finally found an mp3 of it.  so i'm happy.  hahaha.  (seriously though, this song is mortally awful)  i've also finally downloaded a few more of devendra's older songs.  (i'd almost forgotten just how amazing his music is)  the two i downloaded are "the thumbs" and "legless love..."  i now have ALMOST the entire "oh me oh My..." album!  yay!

alrighty, moving on.

for the love of everything holy, WATCH THIS CLIP

please!  it is vitally important for you to see it!  it will make you feel, and i don't think i've really "felt" in the past few weeks, so i am very glad i watched it.

okay, one last thing.

it is supposed to freezing rain tomorrow.  and that makes me feel ill.  it is my very least favorite of all the weather phenomena.  if it were an illness, it'd be a sore throat.  (much like glitter is the herpes of craft supplies).  

ps. i can't wait for my pre-christmakuah latkhe extravaganza!  (with mavis, scott, tom and me) 

oh, halloween.

for some reason, i always have visions of grandeur for each halloween.  but every year, it ends up that i don't meet those expectations.  

that isn't to say i don't have a good time, it's just that there are a trio of things that lead to the eventual disappointment of the holiday.

1) it always sneaks up on me

2) i never plan anything to dress up as.  or, if i do, i always neglect to get anything together.

3) it goes by so very quickly!

every time halloween comes and goes, i feel my heart is a little bit more saddened by the event.  the other problem, is that it means the imminent threat that is xmas time.  barf.  xmas is nothing but 2 months of guilt trips and consumerist crapola.  that, my dear children, is fodder for another blog entry.

anyhow, i did have fun on the day that IS halloween, but it wasn't so much halloween.  just good ol' friend time, with a little bit of wine, whine, and film.  :)   AND we learned that ruby and mavis' dog kimmy REALLY like one another!  that is such a fantastic turn of events!

i've got to go finish reading my willa cather now.  and work on my papers for the week.  later folksters!
