Tuesday again?

The local radio station is having some sort of Morrissey fest. I like it.

Since having finished yet another draft yesterday, and promptly receiving positive feedback from one of the profs (phew), I have spent today idly pretending to work. And making a delish poached fish dish, with a side of chard (thanks erin).

I also talked to my friend rebecca, with whom i don't think i have spoken in a while. Anyway, I got the scoop, which I love to get. And, although I had resigned myself to the fact that perhaps I wouldn't be able to make Sue's wedding -- with exams looming and all -- I thought, what's a weekend? Shouldn't I give myself a break a month before I really deserve it?

In other news, I went to Macy's to spend a gift card we got as a wedding present. I bought three luxurious bath towels and some liquid eyeshadow from Chanel. HAHAHA. oh damn, that makes me laugh. liquid eyeshadow from chanel. i'm awful. but i love it. it's blue and shimmery. isn't that awful? i wear it everyday.

Tuesday Night

I don't think I've posted on a Tuesday night before. D is already in bed, curled up with a copy of Woman in White, an insipid Victorian novel I made him read. And he loves it.
I'm listening to Asobi Seksu, my new favorite thing, and closing the night with a cap.
We went to the movie house tonight and watched "Notes on a Scandal." It was scandalous. I had some reservations: another version of SWF, but with an old biddy? But I liked it. And if I haven't admitted this publicly before, I am in love with Cate Blanchett. It's very distracting, my love for her.
Other than that, I have to finish my topics. Still!
I (or was it my advisor) have decided to push my exams back a month. A good idea, although I would like nothing better in the world than to have this thing over with so that I can enjoy my life. I'm 31. I need to be, you know, gettin' out there! Showing the world what I'm made of! Givin' it my all! Not settling for less. Isn't that what thirty-year olds do?

Back at It

Phew, school has started again! Why does it keeping doing that? This quarter is going to be a doozy. Already, the first week of school, I'm freaking out. I plan to take my exams at the end of the quarter. I'm not sure if it will be possible, as I'm kind of behind schedule. Good news is I finished a draft of a topic yesterday, after much hair-pulling. Bad news, the email server is down. How will I know if they like it?
Photo? Ok:

Bobcat & I
