I must say, I'm not blogging because anything interesting is happening. I'm blogging because it isn't. I spent the majority of the afternoon drawing henna tattoos onto my legs, which I may or may not post a picture of when they get darker. (Henna gets darker for a few days, then slowly fades, disappearing completely after three weeks.) Now I have homework to attend to, but I'm avoiding it. I'm not even avoiding it properly, by working on other things I genuinely want to do. I'm simply sitting here, in my little blue chair, blogging and watching the movie Gigi. I think I will do a bit of homework, and then go and work on this painting that's been stuck in my head for about a week now. Maybe I'll post a picture of that, too, when I finish it. Right now, my tea is hot, time to get it and get to work. :(

Daily Activities.

Guys, I'm a little disappointed! I figured someone would comment on my shark dinner. Oh well. :)

My days have been a little meh. I'm working on my quilt a little each day...I'm up to 9 rows by 22? (maybe 26) columns. Anyway, it's just getting big enough for me to curl up underneath, were it not for the fact that it's only one layer of material thick.

I'm also in an English class, just a general...I read a bunch of stories, and then I write short essays answering questions about them. Exciting, huh?

I have another class starting next week, one that I actually have to attend, remarkably...two hours a day, four days a week. That one should be alright though, as it's in my major area. Forms and Analysis. Boring, right? Yeah, that's what I've been told it is anyway. Oh well, it'll be something to do.

I'm planning a trip with my mom to ride Amtrak to Seattle, with some stops on the way there and back. I'm really looking forward to that. With the exception that I feel slightly guilty taking that much time off of work.

I'm working at a greenhouse, as I've said before. It's a lot of fun, and it's getting easier. I'm learning more, and it's nice to just be outdoors.

Ok, well, currently, I'm making banana bread, and I think it's about time to take it out of the oven....mmmm.....so I'm gonna go. Bye!

Dinner...Dine Different.

Those of you who know me well have probably heard me say at one time or another, "I'll try almost anything once." Well, it still holds true. Last night, I went out to dinner with Chris and another couple, and we went to Outback. I asked what the catch of the day was, not really planning to order fish, but curious nonetheless, and I ended up deciding to get it. It was Mako Shark. Pretty good stuff, really...I'd recommend it to anyone who likes fish. Considering the size of the animal it came from, you don't really have to worry about those pesky little bones like most fish. Just so you know the size, I'll upload a picture. This is only a medium-sized Mako.



Oh, we all also went to see the Superman movie...it was pretty good! I enjoyed it, anyway.
