Random Thoughts Tuesday

I forgot to mention that in the blur of it all, the "Gulf of Mexico" scarf was finished. It's made out of two of the other skeins of SWTC Karaoke that my little sis bought me for Christmas. I love soy/silk/wool blends. They are awesome. I went to my first class tonight of the semester. believe, there is nothing exciting about NFP/GOVT accounting. Yuck. But the professor is one of my favorites so I know he will do his best to make it entertaining. I stayed up very late last night to read Without You by Anthony Rapp. It was so good. He starred in a lot of my favorite movies growing up and hello, he played Mark in RENT. That's like cool points times infinity. anyways, his autobiography was awesome and parts of it moved me to tears. It has been awhile since I have read a decent autobiography. I will definitely be re-reading it over and over. I also starting reading the Al Gore book, An Inconvient Truth. Also very good from a environmental science-y standpoint. Al Gore makes environmental issues accessible and breaks them down in a way that the average person can understand. I have not started any new crochet projects yet because I am waiting for pay day so I can order yarn to finish red scarf #2 and I am trying to figure out what to make for the celebration discussed below.

I also received a save the date card from Little S. She is marrying J on May 26th. I am excited about this wedding because I think the two of them are good together and have an equal relationship. Since she is the one who taught me how to crochet, and founded "crochet sweatshop (this is meant in a positive light)" I think it would be fitting if I crocheted an afghan for them. M thinks that is crazy. If she devoted 1/4 of the time she spent on lousy sex to things like career, crochet or friends I think she would be a much happier person. I think this is possible because I have realized that if you just do a few rows everyday while watching tv, or while you are waiting on carpool, you can make a lot of progress. That's how I've been able to make so many hats and scarves recently. So I thought, hell if I can do that surely I could finish a nice afghan by May 26th. Anyways, i had no intentions of talking to M tonight, but she calls me after class and is all like how come you haven't called me. I was just like you have a phone too. Why should I have to use all my minutes on someone who doesn't even act interested half the time in conversation because she is either getting ready for one of her hook ups or watching tv while on the phone. If you don't really want to have a conversation, then don't call me.

Anyways, I didn't talk too long cause she was just making me annoyed and I was not about to miss one second of the new boston legal tonight. so I gave her a taste of her own medicine and told her that i had to go because boston legal was going to be on in five minutes. Seriously, people that show is one of the current highlights of my week. Plus, William Shatner was playing a trombone shaped kazoo! It had a moveable slide! How freaking cool is that!!!????

By the way, I am an awful musical afficiando. I forgot to wish Elvis a Happy Birthday yesterday. Happy Belated Birthday Elvis! You still rock!

Anyways, those are my rants and raves for the day. I am going to take some allegra-d so that i can peacefully sleep and be able to breathe out of my congested nose in the morning. I am also going to read some more since i have purchased several books over the holidays and reading more frequently is on my "Be the Change" list of resolutions.
