listening to: Tom Waits--Bone Machine
reading: lord of the barnyard

so i haven't been around for a while...almost a year, which is just madness. i've been so damn busy, which doesn't seem to be letting up any time soon. I'm going to upload stuff...sometime soon. hopefully before the summer. hopefull. I just was visiting family in Boston and Philadelphia which was fantastic. I loved both cities, boston was just amazing at night. Philadelphia was as it is every summer, but it was significantly more pleasant this time around. I got my pictures taken. It was quite an event. they had a schnazzy chair that i wanted to steal but couldn't because it was so heavy. It was this old-fashioned yellow chair, she said she found it on the street. Which is where all our chairs came from.

Music news, Cecily got an ipod. Finally catching up with the millions; of course i didn't pay for it...some one gave it to me, but now i have it and that's quite exciting. i just uploaded X onto it, so i've been rockin out for the past couple of days. Also got the new andrew bird cd and The Kills. They're both great. Fantastique! Andrew Bird is so bizarre and sweet...i could positively marry him. Speaking of marriage, grandfather is now officially remarried. nice wedding, they seem happy.

I'm off to ashland shakespeare festival later this morning. That means no homework for a week. i'm shaking with excitement.
