the question of art.

Before I headed to class this morning, as I was fussily tried to decide what to wear [and consequently missed the first bus] I got the heavy feeling that today was going to be a bad day.

I was wrong.

The most lucky and coincidental thing that happened today was that both my presentations that were scheduled for today I didn't end up doing - one because we ran out of time, the other because my prof realized we were all losing interest and so ended the class early-ish [she, apparently, didn't even have me down on the list! how strange and coincidental].

Also on a side note, I've just discovered Alphabeat's [one of my faaaaaaaaaaavourite bands] new album, The Spell, and their singles are AMAZEBALLS. I do, however, still think their earlier album This is Alphabeat is better - but let me listen to the new one a little bit more and maybe I'll change my mind.

I know I had something else to say but the thought of sitting in bed reading and/or knitting has robbed me of that thought; SO! I leave you with a doodle from night class and an amazing song to end.

Ta!

I have a horrible secret: whenever Party in the U.S.A comes on, I secretly dance in my head. Shameful, I know; damn you, Miley Cyrus for being a plague on society. Now though I like to think my new, super-cool ringtone will make up for it [hopefully]. What is that ringtone? It's so super-fly, you'll have to hear it to believe it.

In other news, today is the last day of reading week which really is very sad - it's gone by so fast [as usual] that I can't really believe it and feel like I've done nothing particularly productive but feel ever-so drained from being constantly on the move. Sigh.

But here are some exciting highlights [and lowlights] of the week:

-After much boycotting on my part, Kyle convinced me to go see Avatar....unfortunately the 3D make me nausea and we had to leave near the end so I could express my feelings about it.....into a toilet.

-The good thing about seeing Avatar though was seeing the trailer for the new Clash of the Titans. I think Kyle thought I was got to hyperventilate from excitement. [I am now downloading the original and am tres excited]

-My gram gave me yarn and an easy pattern for a sweater for me to make. Hurrah! She also got me hooked on the idea of going to Frankenmuth, Michigan: a touristy German town, as my mum described it Christmastown, with a World Expo of Beer in May, wine tastings and some other pretty cool/dorky sounding things.

-I almost saw Carmen, the opera, Wednesday but it sold out before Finnegan and Ape could get us tickets

-My dad got engaged to Valerina and I convinced him that I should be best [wo]man.

And with that, I have to go do productive things like finish my essay outline for my midterm tomorrow, bribe myself to work on it by knitting and play with my lovely puppy.

When I grow up, I want flower pots full of geraniums and alyssums. Apparently you can eat geranium leaves in salads [although from what I remember they don't taste that great].
