There's A Piper Down

Hello from Rocky River, everyone. I have actually grown quite accustomed to living at home again, and without a job, no less. Only about two weeks left till the big day, and the jitters have become so all-consuming that I couldn't work if I wanted to. Ha. Just kidding. Tis exciting, though! I think I've figured out the official seating chart (especially important in determining fun level for Woo alumni), and have also accomplished many smaller tasks (such as the up-do test-run...ewww, up-do, sick...but I'm not kidding).

Other than that, I've just been hanging out with mis padres. E and I made it up to Detroit (Cleveland's ugly cousin) for a night to see Missy Chrissy and Derek, and good times were had by all (though I'm happy now that they never made it to Oxford, as our "guest room" was really just the living room floor covered by the nasty futon pad, unlike their pleasantly furnished abode). C-bus tomorrow for a Chrichel (E's word, sorry, Chris Michel) visit, then I get to see Vanessa and the other "ladies" this weekend! Missy Chrissy has promised to bring her bag o' tricks (though sadly, she tossed the whip). Hehe.

Been reading Kenny Moore's book about Bill Bowerman, Oregon's legendary coach... Nothing like poetry at all. A mi me gusta. I'm having trouble focusing on anything at all, and these days are flying... I've been lifting (and running, screw you, strained stomach muscle!) to kill the time (and look like a soldier in the wedding dress)....

Also, I recently acquired the new White Stripes album. I like St. Andrew as much as the next guy, but what's up with the bagpipes on this record??

Peace out, gotta go to lunch with Grandma Eileen.

Mistress or Master?

Okay, so it's been a while. Okay, so it's been several months...who reads this anyway? Well, nobody anymore, as I quit updating quite some time ago.

But I've been busy: Got engaged. Almost lost mind. Defended thesis. Am just now recovering and beginning to help plan, and have begun acquiring marital possessions (a crock pot, for instance). As John Lennon said, strange days indeed...

It's not just me gettin' weird either. My friends have started spawning (a mini K-hole will be terrifying! soon a mini Missy Chrissy??). E is watching "The Rocketeer." Well, okay, so he's always been a weirdo.

In other news, Ryan Adams released a new album, Easy Tiger, last week. I'm very much enjoying it, particularly "Halloweenhead." That guy loves my birthday.

Will write more regularly, as I am now running more, reading novels, and doing all the things Pope and Milton kept me from doing earlier this summer.

We've got less than two weeks left in Oxford, and I'm about ready to get this show on the road.
