Recent activities

I feel like I haven't posted on my blog forever. I know I haven't been doing a fantastic job, but oh well; I've been busy. I also apologize for the fact that I just posted a web address instead of an actual YouTube video on that last update. YouTube is annoying, and it would not allow me to post a video. Anyway, here are a couple of notes on things I have been doing lately:

1) I watched the Wilco documentary I Am Trying To Break Your Heart, and I LOVED it. It was very interesting and well-made, and because of it I am now semi-obsessed with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Listen to it. It's fantastic.

2) Today it's raining heavily and we have 40 mph winds, which have already knocked down two of our huge (100 ft tall) pine trees, and three across the street. It's sad.

3) On Saturday, I attended my friend Kayla's birthday party, which was great fun. We went contra dancing, something I had never before considered trying, but it was very, very fun. We also ate homemade falafel, which was almost as lovely.

4) Yesterday, Artemis and I took a long, lovely walk down to the Old Port in the rain. We had matching fluorescent rain jackets and ugly umbrellas, and we stopped at One City Center to go up and down in the glass elevator a few times before continuing on our way. Then, we played a nice game of Scrabble and watched My So-Called Life (good rainy day activities.)

5) We are going to New York on Wednesday!! I am so excited!!

merci beaucoup! it wasn't that scary when the trees fell down, but there was a loud noise, like a gun shot.
