Apocalypse Now is the most challenging movie I've had to watch for my film class. I hate this.

Schmutzi's eye is still messed up. I have a dentist appointment at 10:00 and have to meet my professor at 12:15. Not the most relaxing Monday ever.

windows 7 is sexy and $30 if you have a .edu e-mail address.

Something is wrong with Schmutzi's pupil - it won't dilate at all and is runny. I am keeping an eye on it and will take her to the vet tomorrow ($$$$)

Blackie just puked on my bed.

. ..  until maybe a month from now.

2nd annual Whole Hog dinner at Moody's Bistro in Truckee, CA or
( the porkgasm. I have a pork hangover.  )

The weather ruined my outfit for today. I curse you, weather. You blow. Literally.

What I learned about DDing: 

Have a bag in the car. I need to get the interior detailing tomorrow morning, and pronto.

I am going to make a circle skirt out of the two yards of 60" wide cream colored wool I have.

THIS SHOULD BE FUN!

Or maybe I should use the burgundy I have leftover?

I'm seriously tired of not being able to find cute skirts so I'm doing it on my own. for realz.

i was done with the midterm in 30 minutes. here is an example of how easy it was

At 8:30 last night when I was baking cookies I remembered I have a midterm today. I haven't studied at all.

Today is not going to go well.

Last night I translated lines 1-21 of the Battle of Maldon instead of The Wanderer, which was actually our homework assignment. What gets me is that I had even looked at the syllabus earlier that day but for whatever reason the Battle of Maldon sounded WAY more interesting.

blech.

My mom and sister took me to a Nordstrom Rack. I got two very cute Born shoes for 36 each. and a belt.

After the death by shopping happy, we ate dim sum at joy luck in oakland.

and i hear there is an open bar tonight. awesome

I should probably take this out, but it makes me laugh so hard.

"The procession is ambushed! The subsequent shots of scalping and panic cut to Chingachgook, Uncas, and Hawkeye enforcing some Native American frontier justice on the ambushing party."

I just finished 6.5 pages of the most epic piece of crap essay I have ever written. I am proofing this beast in the morning.

I have to clean the litterbox before the mad dash to finish my Fulbright personal statement. Ariane and Sarah B (some of you might remember that cute little thing in Etaine's Germans a few 12th nights ago) gave some great feedback. I'm working on the "emotional math" 

I am super into draped pieces and a sort of whimsical look. I love this japanese fashion movement called mori girl, but more along the lines of taking key ideas and making them work on me. Belts, lots of belts will be needed to make this flattering to my figure but i don't mind.

I have managed to sell almost everything in my closet I never wear. Clothes are not the best gift to give me. But this has left me with a barren closet.

Still searching for the perfect replacement flats. Curse my smeet! (stinky feet) for ruining my fav pair of hush puppies. i did wear them about 4 days a week though for the past 9 months so. . .

I have a low-grade fever and I feel like shit.

Screw today.

( Why I WIWT )

In other news: Pretty much everything from the sales post sold. I've got some vintage pieces I'm trying to get rid of on Etsy. Not all of it's posted yet, I have some wool skirts in decent condition that have 27-30" waists. I'll put those up when I have time.
