so, i read on another blog that “if you are going to have a blog, you should update it once a week”. well, oops. i think it’s been a while since the last time i posted (though i also went to a site where all the blogger wrote was “man, it’s been a long time since i last posted. well, bye!” about 17 times).

all i want to do is read. read fun stuff. i’ve been trying to finish the once and future king for years now, but i always get distracted. i also got the day of the trifids, which my dad loves, and is claimed to be the one science fiction novel everyone should read, even if they hate sci-fi. well, i love sci-fi, so there you go. i’m chump for not having read it already, huh? stupid…life…getting in the way of me reading all the time! i also want to read a bunch of classics, like dracula, the canterbury tales, the dante series (inferno, etc), more phillip k. dick, etc.

justin and i are getting a place in flour bluff this weekend (hopefully, let’s cross our fingers on our credit checks and that damn hurricae rita that it headed straight for port aransas). the apartment looks out over trees, which i REALLY miss. plus i’ll get to see my cat every day instead of once every month, which i am very VERY happy about. nothing cheers you up like a cat! i miss her so…. in the pic at the top, clio is lounging on nice, fresh laundry, of course, and the pic above is why i have to work in the office and not at home. i want to get a big comfy reading chair to have near the balcony in our new place- hm, how did i end up back on the subject of reading?

stupid grad school. have i already mentioned how frustrating it is? how can i have gone from 5 classes, a research project and a job, no problem, to 2 classes, 1 research project/job, and not have enough time for any of it? so far classes here are a joke, not at all what i expected from grad school, so really that gives me even less of an excuse for slacking off so much. hopefully when i live in flour bluff i’ll be away from fun stuff (um, well, i guess the only fun thing about port a is my friends, like eve), so i’ll focus more on getting shit done. that’s the plan, anyway. we’ll see how it goes.
