Noise

I am slowly working myself into a rage. The quickest way to make me mad is interrupt my sleep. My brother and I used to have screaming yelling fights when I lived at home and he'd turn his bass up loud when I was trying to sleep.

Tonight I was really tired and had a bad headache, so I went to bed early, around 10. I fell asleep for a little while and awakened to doors slamming and things crashing around in the apartment downstairs. And then the vacuum started. I would never vacuum at 11:30 on a week night! What is wrong with people? I finally got up to check my email, knowing I wouldn't be able to sleep while that's going on. If it were my old neighbors, I'd go down and say something. But my old neighbors wouldn't do this. They just had their Saturday morning fights, and that was all I heard from them.

What should I do? Say something next time I see them? Go down there right now? (Although there's currently a lull, so maybe they're done.) Make a lot of noise when I get up at 6 tomorrow morning? I guess that wouldn't be very helpful. Satisfying, but not helpful...

Why I Love Bust Magazine (and you should, too)

Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust . In this issue, I read about: Fat women on reality shows A new version of roller derby called Derby Lite A global O that will be occurring on December 21-22 Recipes for finger foods to serve at holiday parties How to make your own yarn Asheville, NC (now I want to move there even more...) Amy Poehler's views on feminism Divorce ranches in Nevada from the 1930's through the 1960's (it used to be really hard to get a divorce, and Nevada had laws that made it super easy) Homemade Christmas gift ideas A guide to "handling some of life's major milestones- marriage, childbirth, and death- with a DIY frame of mind" The monthly "One-handed read" column And of course, there are the fashion and beauty sections. Also, book, movie, and music revie

I got a little out of control...

I started my end of the year celebration a day early with margaritas at Lalo's. Unfortunately, since I don't drink very often, they affected me pretty quickly. I knocked my fork onto the sidewalk. Nancy (with her 80's hair) pretended not to know me. Nina gave me this look. Good times, good times. 40 more minutes of school, and then I am FREE!!!!!

Fall!

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m excited for fall.  I LOVE fall.  Things I’m looking forward to: Sweaters and hoodies Cinnamon candles  Leaves crunching under your feet Carving pumpkins and toasting the seeds (that I will give as gifts because I don’t actually like them) Going to the apple orchard with my mom… apple donuts and apple ciders slushees… Scary movies Watching my Charlie Brown DVDs Starting school!  I swear, September always flies by in an adrenaline-filled haze… The smell of burning leaves Football!!! Making apple pie (that will most likely be given as a gift because I’ll be dieting) Fall crafts (I think this year I want to attempt a wreath) Hot apple cider My one and only complaint about fall is that it means winter is coming…
