I finished my second exam of the week (fortunately, it's the last exam of the week as well). We went to the Bubble House (as we always do) and got our drinks and our sweet potato fries and we tried these vegetable dumpling things. And I came home. I've wanted to do nothing but curl up and watch mindless TV since. Eat Ben and Jerry's ice cream, and watch Joey and Will and Grace, and anything else dumb and funny that comes on (the Apprentice doesn't count). But my roommates are downstairs, and I have a feeling they don't want to watch stupid sitcoms. I drank a woodchucks and watched the last episode of Sex and the City on my DVD from Netflix and it went to my head way more than anything with that low an alcohal content has any right to do.

I suppose if Lonely Planet gave too much information about any place on their website, no one would buy their books.

I wonder if Dan Bern is still dating Martha Wainwright.

I have three albums in my apartment. Which are mine. My roommates have CDs. I found Smartie Mine, which disapears on a regular basis, but it's making me happy playing right now.

The lady at the post office tried to sell me Ronald Reagan stamps for Cassie's birthday card and Peg e's recipe, but I wouldn't let her. She thought it was funny, but was also okay with giving me the one of the black woman.

Since I'm sending the iPod to Apple, I don't care about scratches right now, and it has no skin. It has been charcoal for about a month. Now it's white, and it's sitting on "Sam's" sheepskin (spoiled puppy, already has a sheepskin all to himself, and he doesn't live here yet--Sam is the dog with the very cute face I tried to post here a while back) at the foot of my bed on my off white knit blanket. It all looks very pretty.

Seneca's Phaedra is 200 lines longer than his Medea, so we are going to read Medea. I was actaully really excited about the idea of reading Seneca's Phaedra, cause of reading Racine's Phedre. I mean, Medea is more interesting, and god knows more competant, but still.

I almost bought the Chocolate Fondue body wash they sell at Bath and Bodyworks, and then I decided that that might just be too much, so I went with cherry blossom. At one point, I considered getting chocolate fondue soap and cherry blossom lotion, and smelling like a chocolate covered cherry, but when I tried putting cherry blossom lotion of the chocolate lotion, it just smelled like cherry, so I figured it wasn't worth it.

My "here's a box to send your iPod back to Apple" box showed up today. It makes me very depressed. I love my iPod. My CDs aren't in Philadelphia. I can't hook my iPod up to my current computer, not to mention the fact that it couldn't swallow the music that's on it anyway, and I don't have the software to take stuff off of an iPod anyway. And, since it has my name on the back, it will be like three weeks before I get an iPod back, and it won't be the same. I will have to come up with a new name for it, because it would just be odd to give it the same name. It is Euterpe, right now, Euterpe was the Muse of Music, at least according to the random website I looked at to try to figure out what each of the muses were muse of. I'm going to wait to send it in til after I go to New York City via public transportation, though, because I might go mad without music, and my discman has skipping problems. (I do have MP3 CDs around, so i suppose I won't be totally musicless.)

Gmail has decided it is less and less friendly with "non suported browsers" and I can no longer use the keyboard short cuts other than tab enter.

I wish my iPod weren't being stupid. Or at least I wish there were some way of fixing it that didn't involve sending it to Apple. I think I'll wait til after I go to my dad's to send it back.

I mean, it's pretty amazing stuff. We run the dishwasher, and everything comes out soaked, I add jet dry, and only the plastic still has water drops on it.

I'm not sure what I think of reports about Terri Schiavo always mentioning that her husband has moved on to a new woman and a new family. I feel like they're judging him poorly for it. Like, they think he wants to pull the tube because of his new family. The woman has been a vegetable for 15 years, and she probably won't ever come out of it. Is he supposed to sit around with her forever? If she had died all the way, the judgement wouldn't be there. It sucks. I feel really sorry for him.

I think my sister and I got the best of both worlds when it comes to idle talk that comes from both sides of our family. My dad's family (who are like stereotypical WASPS, except for being Catholic) are always very polite and talk about mild things like golf and the weather (as a joke, when we were in Catalina, I wrote a postcard to my Grandma where I talked about weather and mentioned that Connor almost went golfing, and that we'd heard that she and my grandfather used to go to Catalina to golf, I don't know if it was quite as funny if you weren't me) and other such harmless things. My sibs and I were unsure about how my dad and his wife had voted in 2000, and so we let my dad be the first one to say anything about the scandal that was the election. We now know that politics is a safe thing to talk and make fun of around them, becase it is relatively non-confrontational. My mom's family, on the other hand (particularly my mom's mom) must have deep important conversations, at all times. There is none of the, almost comforting at times, banality. She saw two operas this afternoon, (they were short operas) one was funny, the other was not, the the one that wasn't funny was good art.
Anyway, the point was, Jamie and I (when we can break out of the shy shell) are both pretty decent at doing either, at any given point. And I like that we can talk about silly stuff, or get so involved in talking about Shakespeare we don't realize that we're on 50 instead of 97 until we see the Washington Monument (this only happened once), or our depressing lack of love lives, or whatever. It's a good thing, I think, to be able to do either.
