so much for trying to post more often in the month of November.
( The weekend was a little busier than most - dog park with Neil and my absolutely adorable puppy (who is not a puppy, but whatever) on Saturday and the Derby Dolls of LA with Maija on Sunday. )One of the best parts of this week has been corrupting
elizabuffy over to the dark side of American Idol! Now I have someone to share the joy with, and she agrees that Adam is a pretty awesome sparkly unicorn prince. I realized I'm definitely a fangirl now because I listened to his album last night and ...

I can't tell if I'm working on a cold or having a severe allergy attack for a couple of days, but either way since Monday my head has been fuzzy, my eyes a little gravely/burning, my chest half-congested, and I've been moderately tired. It makes gathering the mental energies a very difficult thing. Except, apparently, for my new media class, where even if I'm not all there I will still manage to dominate the conversation like a loon -- I guess I feel that more is at stake there than in my other classes. More fun too though.
On the work front I'm heading into the end, and not really quite finding the sense of urgency I need to take care of everything. So I have this film that I need to watch for my film paper, and some research to do, and an entire new media paper to write, and .... yeah. Japanese continues to be exactly as it has been - little difficult, mostly entertaining, and definitely no cake walk. This week is a little annoying as we're doing 'how to order things in restaurants' and so the entire class we talk about food. It's a good thing I generally have lunch right after.
