I got a heart full, of rubberbands / that keep... getting....caught on...things
Well. Here I am. Starting yet another post. Here�s to hoping this one makes in online.
Maybe chris inspired me. Can�t be out done by chris goddamnit.
Jesus.
Sara Cames needs to LIVE IN THE SAME TOWN AS ME.
Okay lot of people should. But right now I need some �jesus christ� in only the way that sara can provide.
Jesus Christ, where to start�.
In the past six weeks (in some what order of important),
* I�ve seen (briefly) my neighbor having sex! Now two Fridays in a row. No, people, I did not stand there and get a good look. I walk RIGHT BY his (her) bedroom window on my way up my back stairs. Last Friday when I got back from my run, the blinds up and the light shining caught me by surprise and I glanced over to see a bare white ass. It was crazy amusing. I kept walking. Yesterday morning on my way to run (~7:15), I got a glanceful too. So amusing.
* I�ve gone apple picking. Turns out that they grow apples in these parts (well, where there isn�t so many buildings) and LOW AND BEHOLD they let you go and pick them STRAIGHT OFF THE TREE! Ben and I went last weekend. I knew it would be the last warm weekend of the season. It was in the 70s, blue sky, so beautiful. We drove about an hour and a half. Enjoyed the apples and apple donuts. Went to IKEA and CA Pizza Kitchen on the way back and all in all had a great day. We now have lots of apples to our name. So far I�ve made apple crisp. And today an apple pie. It is beautiful. I just took it out of the oven. I made the crust and everything. I am SO READY for housewifedom. Tee hee hee. At least it is another thing to add to dowry, that and pecan pie. Now if my family can just find a nice cow, I�ll be all set.
* Baseball season is over. I did really enjoy enjoying the summer weather at the ball park. I got to see the braves play and some other people. And didn�t get pooped on by a piegon once since my last post! Baseball still invades my life and it has gotten worse in that the play offs are all evening. At least with the cubs, they played in the afternoon a good portion of the time, so my evenings were all baseball. So now I am really counting down to the World Series. At least before I was attached to the cubs and enjoyed watching them. I couldn�t CARE LESS about the Yankees or Astros. So tired of baseball�..the things I do for my boy.
* Tom amazed me with his story about picking locks�including the one in his desk today. He�s so cool. We�ve seen � Garden State (pretty much the best movie I�ve seen in a long long time. And the soundtrack rocks), I heart Huckabees (very amusing and random), Island of Lost Souls (random 30s black and white movie), The Forgotten (okay, though I do love julianna moore), and I think that might be it. We see lots of movies.
* I took the manwich, as kentie has dubbed ben, home to hot springs to meet the parents. Of course it went well. We hung out with high school friends, played cards with the fam, watch lots of west wing, and ate lots of cookies. Well, the girls ate a lot of cookies and ben marveled at the amount of cookies the family can put away. And I got a massage, pretty much one of the BEST things about hot springs. After my fam, of course. My fam which amused us all by letting ben and I sleep in the same bedroom on the day bed and trundle. Of course, ben was scandalized when I push the beds together. Ha ha ha. It isn�t like my parents DON�T KNOW, but because it is the right thing to do, we didn�t do the deed while we where there. But it was quite amusing.
* My research, hesitating to say, is going well. I�ve set a date for my qualifier. The qualifier for us is basically a master�s thesis and defense. I have to write my by the end of the month as I want to give it to my advisor before he leave for Hong Kong for the first couple weeks of Nov. I present it Nov. 22, the Monday after I return from a conference in Anaheim and the Monday before thanksgiving (a.k.a. opportunity 1 to show off my dowry skill #1 pecan pie). I will be happy to have it out of my life.
La la la. Must go. Now that the MOST BEAUTIFUL PIE IN THE WORLD is done, we have to drive up to evanston to flip a switch cuz I�m an idiot. And must get the flour out of my hair.
