yesterday, i did a big lot of nothing. well, i got my inbox under 100 messages. finally. i usually try to keep my inbox at 10 messages max but for some reason, it exploded toward the end of last semester and i just haven't been able to get it back down again. but i'm on my way now. so that's something. but then at a random moment in the afternoon, i was seized with the urge to go shoe shopping. so off i went to my friendly neighborhood payless (that's right, i buy cheap-ass shoes. it's where the vegans go, man). and lo, not only did i find a pair of awesome tweed-ish pumps, but i found a shiny red bag! i have been looking all over for the right shiny red bag for months. and there it was, at a payless 9 blocks from my house. and. it was bogo, so it only cost $9. that was a pleasant random shopping experience.

also yesterday i watched some s3 dr. who. i like martha. she's gorgeous and has a great ass as well as being a generally likable character. but omg, if the little doctor pining for rose moments don't stop soon, i might DIE. also, if they stop, i will DIE. so. no win, really.

and i typed in the e-mail addressed of incoming students who are interested in choir who i have to e-mail and encourage to audition. i already have a favorite. her addy is "loony4lupin." which is so much more awesome than all the soprano2007s or singergirl88s. there were a lot of 88s. does this mean that that is the year they were born? because... holy crap.

i plan to do more inbox cleanout over the next few days, so... there could be random comment catch up coming your way. or not. sometime when i goes this long, i let myself not answer. not for lack of love, just lack of sanity.

weekend goals:
-acquire bigger hammock stand
-shop for groomswoman dress
-clean the house
-go to water world
-finish chuppah sqaure (so close!)
-etc.

hmm. you started college the year i graduated. but 88/89? that makes me feel ancient. which, really, is for the good since these kids will be my students this year. best to feel older and (::snicker::) wiser. :)

Those kids will be my students next week. Eep. Though were I teaching HS seniors straight out of a BA, there'd be a much smaller age difference, it's still kind of...something. Awe-ing? Intimidating?

You are not ancient. You are sage.

intimidating for sure. i'm totally intimidated. excited, too. and, really, for me there's some relief here. for the last two years, i was doing this with a choir full of people my age, at my level, while my prof looked on. now, i'll be on my own with people who are significantly younger. phew. still scary, but in a different way.
