And Now, To Bed!
Sep. 21st, 2010 08:51 pmOh my god I am exhausted. Too exhausted for paragraphs.
1. My Creative Nonfiction Prof wants us to keep a personal, public blog for the length of the course. GEE THAT SOUNDS SO HARD WHATEVER WILL I DO.
2. My aunt came up today and brought a bunch more stuff for my apartment. I have an electric mixer now! And hand towels! And plates. She also brought me an iPod Nano from my uncle. I know I don't really like Apply Products, and my plucky little Zen continues to be plucky and reliable, but DUDE. IPOD. Now that I have five minutes to sit down, I am going to write him a very nice thank you note. I wish I'd had more time to spend with my aunt, but Thanksgiving's not that far off and I'll see them then.
3. I made up my mind and I'm sticking with the South Asian music class. It's new and scary and a source of tremendous potential humiliation, but it's too awesome to pass up and both the instructors are great. I mean, I can read a book on Chinese art any day; how often do I get a chance to study music with a trained Hindustani classical singer? Also, we finished the class with chanting practice and a two minute reflective period, and it left me feeling really really mellow the whole walk home. I could definitely use that more often.
4. I'm reading The Hound of the Baskervilles for class tomorrow. It's not as gay as say, The Sign of Four, or The Three Garridebs, but it is Sherlock Holmes, so, you know, still pretty gay. I have an immense amount of love for the opening scene, where Holmes is testing Watson on the conclusions he can draw from a visitor's walking stick, and then is so completely, adorably proud of him when he gets some of it right (and Watson, in turn, is practically glowing from getting some praise from his life partner). THEIR LOVE IS EPIC AND TRUE.
5. New NCIS tonight! SO MUCH YAY.
