Punxsutawney

Phil saw his shadow. Oh well.

I got a new printer today! It was $160 (with tax) at Best Buy, with a $50 mail-in rebate. So... not bad at all. The few things I've printed so far look really good--so, yay!

Tonight I've just been cleaning up my house a little bit and doing homework. I'm reading a book about Native American religion and traditions, which is kind of cool. It's interesting, at least.

Nothing else major to report here. I've downgraded to over-the-counter ibuprofen for the most part, so maybe it's a sign that things are getting better!

i'm so glad that al's work friends like to eat. hu-hot! tonight! yum.

i just got an email from amanda quiring - she moved back from connecticut and is teaching at hastings college and is apparently moving to london!? i am impressed with this woman. she surprises me all the time.

think the next two sentences to an annoying little taunting-ish tune: i don't have to work tonight. i don't have to work tonight.

how's the mouth, sister?

okay - now i have to pick up my house a little bit and get ready for hu-hot.

Jason is nice

He's coming over at 6:00 (finally home from St. Louis) to hang out with me and take care of me in my weird state of illness. I don't know how I'm going to get all my homework done... and how do you tell a professor that a toothache prevented you from getting it done? I feel a little bit like it's a "dog ate my homework" kind of excuse, though I know that the toothache problem is REAL. I'll figure something out!
