thinking about going to see Mary Halvorson tonight...
should i?

I am in a drama themed advanced speaking/writing class at uni. over the last few weeks we had to prepare a few scenes from a play and today all groups had to present their scenes. I was very nervous but at the end of the class we got feedback from the teacher and the only negative thing she said to us that she thought our scenery (we drew an office setting and a train station on whiteboards) was too cartoony (the class thought it was awesome, though. considering we only had 5 minutes to draw it on there i thought it was pretty awesome as well!!).
when the rest of the class gave us feedback they said that if this class was a prom we would have won prom queen :)
so proud of my group!! and I am so happy we got the good/funny scenes and we got to make people laugh

oh, and we played scenes from the play "Einstein's Gift"
I was Clara, Fritz Haber's wife

wahhhhhhh


I found white hairs on my head! At first I thought it might've been some stary hairs from my roommates dog(Aussie BLue Heeler?) and it has a silver/white coat. ANyways....I had to rip it out of my head....soo....yeah. I can't have white hair yet! I'm too young! :P

Don't rip them out dude! That's what I did and even more grew back!

I found them in my beard this year, had them around my temples for a few years already

I just did to inspect the specimen. For science!

Lee is Free is chuckling at you all, and Thurston is still rocking that Just For Men..

having the screen of your chimney cap blocked by creosote flakes will make for an "exciting" morning.

@1:10 - the big eye, wonderful!

Lucky you didn't burn down your place yo!

ha ha, yes-- lucky it wasn't really dangerous in that sense, we don't really have a creosote buildup in the pipes (i checked), it's more like a clogged exhaust at the end-- the chimney cap has a screen to keep birds and bats out, and the flakes (normal production, nothing irregular) get stuck in the screen, and the smoke backs up. funnnn!!!

a gentle tap makes the flakes fall off and the wind takes them away, and the stove can roar again. i just gotta get on the roof more often!


dammit, i can't wait to see that...

my friend just informed me that we'll go see john waters next year!
good thing i was too lazy to book my flight to boston just yet, cause I actually wanted to leave germany two days before the john waters thing

Cool. Than just lucky y'all didn't succumb to carbon monoxide poisoning ;)

I was just watching this and...

Yeuh.

wind is blowing like crazy. its awesome.
we didnt have power for over 4 hours, which was great actually.
minus the fact that i almost didnt find any coffee in the morning.

yeah, we had all the windows open, but it still gave us a good smoke.

good thing i was burning cedar, which isn't unpleasant, so we got a whole-house smudge of sorts. i smell like a salmon, now.
