tonight

i am happy because two of my hosuemates have that look in their eyes and rather silly grins on their faces

i finally finished Lord of Chaos(ouch, does it look as silly as it sounds? sigh, i'm always a sucker for adventure...) so i can get on with important things like writing the last paper of my undergraduate career

i went swimming in the icy grip of wiscoy creek today; the rock bed is still covered with a slick blanket of silt, and the current off the falls is so strong that standing up one cannot help but slide downriver as if wearing wool socks on a kitchen floor. with a torrent of water rushing by. and numb toes.

i did my laundry!

i am now listening to great big sea's "old black rum." in a few weeks i will finally be able to truly appreciate the glory of a good solid Irish drinking song while simultaneously raising a toast to my alma mater! perhaps i could burn that old Statement of Community Responsibilities.
