update

my back seems to be all better, but now i'm sick with a killer sore throat. if it's not one thing, it's another, i suppose.

found out today that the joffrey is giving the theatre staff free tickets to see their production of the nutcracker, so alisha and i are going to see it december 20^th.

tonight is the aplon reading on campus at the gage building. after he reads from his work, he'll be critiquing poems by the 4 students in the poetry workshop this semester, which includes me. should be interesting.

a woman in the office keeps her cell phone ringer on during work hours. it must be on the highest volume. there are faculty meetings every tuesday at 3p.m. and every tuesday during the hour of the meeting, her phone rings constantly and drives me nuts. the ringer is some intense jingle that sounds like the song from mission impossible. i really want to answer it and say, "she's in a meeting until 4. STOP. CALLING." i think that somehow might be unprofessional though.

dennis and i want to have a board game night but we don't have any cool board games. i have trivia pursuit pop culture at home, but that doesn't help us here. someone should donate to our cause.

my sister and her boyfriend got matching heart tattoos in the crease between their thumb and forefinger. this makes me gag and wish i had a boyfriend at the same time.
