cross your fingers March 30, 2006

i think i finally conquered the dig. library software problem. i am hesitant to even blog this, for fear that the fix on the issue was just a figment of my imaginatio. anyway….. this final project has become a total debacle, i am really ready for the semester to be done.

what else, the weather is even better than yesterday. it’s near 70!!! i think they should cancel class due to good weather. yeah, i am going to campaign for that in fact.

it’s back to work for me on monday. it’s cool, i could use the money. did i mention that i may be going back to the job i am not so keen on this summer. it’s mainly due to the fact that i have nothing else really to do. i felt totally guilted into it. we’ll see if they can accomidate my request for work on the same day that i have another thing in pgh. plus, i guess it would give me the opportunity to keep getting cds and books from the carnegie once a week….

gooday sunshine March 29, 2006

there is something about spring actually arriving and staying that makes me feel good. there are real flowers sprouting in the new park between carnegie and hillman libraries.

i went into the stephen foster memorial today. mark from dv8 has been working on the set for the pitt production of Dancing at Lughnasa for a while. oh my goodness, it was beautiful. i was so glad that i went into the large scary foster memorial to check it out. totally amazing.

i got called of work again tomorrow- no work to be done. that means i have most of the day free, woo hoo. i will probably have to trek to school early to get some work done, boo!!!

too cute March 29, 2006

while reading bust at the library today, i saw info about this new, cheap sewing machine. i couldn’t blog the photo since it’s one of those zoom in zoom out extravaganzas, but check it out. is it cute or what???? i think it may serve well for the adornment i was planning on getting on my upper leg. what do you think?

i told natasha that i saw rachel ray on isaac (terrible that i was watching it, i know…) and she said that her celeb crush was dave grohl. now, i know i have been down on dave lately (i can’t take these post sept. 11, sentimental weird songs….), but i can’t have rachel ray stepping to one of my major rock star boyfriends (there are a few, i know i am trashy).

incidently, foo fighters are supposed to be west wing, wtf? i don’t even understand in what context.

celebrity doesn’t always = good tip March 28, 2006

michele posted a funny thing about waiting on a “celeb”.

here’s the long due recap of the weekend.
friday- went to the dr. got about 100000 medicines for all my illnesses, on the mend now.

saturday- i ventured out. studied until 4 or so. natasha was not feeling well so our plans were cancelled. for some reason on saturday i felt terribly lonely, so while i can’t blame her for feeling sick, i was dissapointed. i ran to target, to see what i could find for the t-shirt modification (more later….) and while i was there h called to tell me that she had been in an accident the night before, she’s ok, her car is being looked at so she doesn’t know yet what will happen with that. i decided to drive out to hang out with her for a while. we chatted and ate some dinner and then her friend t stopped by. it’s weird, t is always with the group when we are out, but i never get to talk to him. it’s like a big joke at this point. he showed me some of his collage books, so that was totally cool. i went home by 9 that night, i was still worried about making people sick and all that….

sunday- did nothing.

monday- took my swank new jeans to be hemmed, they won’t be back until friday (AFTER 5, why after 5, doesn’t that imply that they won’t work on them until like 12 PM on friday???) and went to pick up natasha at her car dealer. we decided to head out to ligonier since it was soooooooo nice out. sunroof open, awesome. we went to kathy’s to check out sale yarn, i got some good lamb’s pride in this weird burgandy/ brown color and a pink one too. we went to the tavern afterwards to get lunch and while we were there a guy passed out and it was CRAZY for a few minutes. natasha blogged this, so i am not going to go through the whole event, but natasha i guess is so used to people passing out from the shop that she was totally helpful to the lady who’s dad it was- she was a bit in shock and not really sure what to do, if he should get cpr, etc.

tuesday- this will be a long day. last week one of my classes was cancelled since the prof. had a conference to go to, instead of incorporatiing the material into another week, prof decided that we could all stay from 3-7 today for a extra long session!!!! can’t wait. i guess it’s better than the other idea which was to come in on another day, when we didn’t have class to have the session (um, people have jobs and stuff…..)

ok, over and out.
