"lip my stocking"

It's my opinion that people shouldn't steal license plates -- especially when the license plate is an out of state license plate and that person has really no way of getting another plate before they go home for Thanksgiving (other than overnighting info to the Tennessee DMV so that they will overnight the plate back to arrive on Wednesday -- yeah right, like that's going to happen).

On top of it all, they shouldn't steal from anyone who has to turn in a rough draft of a 20 page paper before they leave for Thanksgiving dinner. Yes, that I think is very important to point out.

And by god, if I ever see a stolen out-of-state license plate hanging up in some house .... I can't even imagine what kind of rage would pursue.

Yay for gay marriage in MA!!! This makes MA the best state of all. Rock on.

And Maura -- oooo, what a dis to us married kids!

I just ate some leftover tortellini salad. It was delish. Soon I will move onto a ginger cookie.

In other things, I've been busy reading -- soon, hopefully, I will be busy writing. Yesterday I gave a lecture on Lysistrata. I got a little nervous but overall the class had an excellent discussion and I was pleased. I just need to get over my little self-confidence problem. Yes, it's Cornell, but the Cornell peeps have the same issues as everywhere else...right? Didn't I say that at the beginning of the semester?

OK, now back to emails, a ginger cookie and a succulent Root 66 root beer.

It was soooo windy last night. Aside from hurricanes, that was definitely the windiest experience I ever had in the Northeast! In TN I experienced a tornado and in Kansas, well, Kansas was just windy. But this was horribly windy. I was afraid to go outside. I also feared for Mike walking home, but luckily he did not get blown away by the wind.

Last night I had a migraine. As a result, I did my greek homework this morning instead of last night. Yet I felt that my synapses were still misfiring somehow in headache aftermath. Somehow amazingly I managed to translate well in class. Chock one up for on the spot Greek by Megan.

Now I must crawl back into my warm bed and sleep the remnants of my migraine away.

My hip hurts. I think it's from using the Elliptical yesterday. Ouch. I should stick to the stairmaster.

This weekend was pretty good. Lys and Jere came up and sadly, Saturday night was kind of a bust. There really wasn't much music going on -- nor was there anything else. We tried to go out to dinner at Moosewood and bam! no can do. I waited fifteen minutes in line just to put my name in for a 45 minutes wait. Then a woman came up to the counter and said that she was told thirty minutes and had been waiting fifty already. Needless to say, we left for the delicious Thai restaurant. There was no wait to sit there, but it seemed like an endless amount of time passed before we were able to receive our food. As a result, we missed all the movie showtimes (with the exception of a surfing movie playing at 11:15 at Cornell Cinema) and ended up renting Whale Rider. The movie was good, but watching Whale Rider is admittedly not as exciting as taking people who visit out for a night on the town. I suppose we should have planned better. Oh well.

Today it is dreary here and I have much reading to do. I had my "Hot Mocha" so I am all set to go...or maybe I'll take a little nap first. :^)

Do you every want to happen upon a blog of a person that you know or knew in the past? But of course, you don't want them to know that your looking at their blog -- you just sort of want to have a secret "in" to the aspects of their life...a little desire to see what's going on. Perhaps there is someone reading this blog with that purpose. I can only hope so.

I've been searching for such a blog, and I have yet to find one. Perhaps I will try another shot at google. Any suggestions anyone?

OK, OK, I'm a pathetic procrastinator. I know.

Congratulations to Lisa Renzi, Esq. for passing the bar exam!!!

Now I must go to sleeeeeeeeep.

Saw Lost in Translation this weekend. It wasn't nearly as good as I expected it to be. I kept reading rave reviews about it and as a result, I was slightly disappointed. Now that I think about it it was a bit actory. Don't ask me to explain that adjective, because I can't, but in general it means I noticed the acting at parts -- not a good thing.

Let's see, I also went shopping for four hours. Most of that was food shopping. It was the kind of food shopping where you buy oils, sugar, flour and all that stuff you don't have when you start out. It was kind of encouraging to buy these things, because it means that I'm actually going to eat cooked food instead of soup. For the past two nights Mike tried out new exciting recipes. The first was a kind of chickpea tomato spinach thing -- yummy! The second was Lemon tofu bake. This was not as good -- not bad, but not really good either.

On top of movies, eating and shopping, I attended an Indian Classical Dance performance yesterday. How was it, you ask? It was not so good. Sadly, the woman introducing the performance proceeded to read the entire biography of each person involved directly from the program. Because the performance started late, my program as well as those of others were well-perused. Needless to say, when she finished the lengthy introduction, the audience had ceased to be receptive. I think it was this lack of reception that caused an overall dearth of energy on the side of the performers and on the side of the audience. The rasa in this case was "boredom."

Unfortunately, because of the Indian Dance performance I had to miss Salman Rushdie speak at Ithaca College. OK, the times didn't overlap, but I did have to do some work yesterday! I'm sure I would have enjoyed his speech much more than that of a woman reading a program.
