2012: week twelve & thirteen


March 18 – April 1

I’m not sure I can remember what has happened in the past two weeks. So much. So busy. SO MUCH SO BUSY!!

Here’s what I remember:

1. Ate cheese and drank wine in the dark in Boston Common for a friend’s impromptu birthday celebration.

2. Woke up early on a Saturday. Ran 2.25 miles around the park, then stopped at JP Licks for an iced coffee, ran some errands, and took the bus home.

3. Attended a friend’s fancy-fancy wedding shower, aka day-drinking & desserts!

4. HUNGER GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. Successfully applied for two jobs – job application docket temporarily clear.

6. 450 dollars in dental work. My face still hurts.

7. Read a bit from one of my old manuscripts in public with other people. Far less painful than dental work.

8. Children’s Literature Brunch. Three of my favorite words, right there.

9. Started playing Skyward Sword!

 Aaaaand that’s about it. Fun fact – only 5 more weeks of school! And only 3 more weeks of schoolWORK – all my finals are due in April. How about that?

Reading:

  • Shine by Lauren Myracle. I was excited to read this after the National book Award debacle, but I don’t know what to think about it right now. It’s a bit confusing, and so, so dark.
  • The Radleys – kinda silly family drama… where the family are all vampires. I liked it. Clever.

Listening to:

  • All I am listening to is the Hunger Games soundtrack. I think my coworkers are probably getting annoyed.

Watching:

  • Suffering from television ADD. Bouncing between 30 Rock and Scrubs and Mad Men and on the suggestion of a professor, The Secret Life of an American Teen. I am all over the place.
  • Um, has there ever been a sadder movie than 50/50? I love Joseph Gordon-Levitt, though, I really do.
  • Sooooo the boy and I kindamaybesorta started watching LOST again. Ahem. This is like our 4th try. Halfway done with Season One! We’re at the part where Michael starts spending half of every episode running through the jungle screaming “WAAAAAAALLLT! WAAAAAAAAALLLLLTTT!!”
