SPOCKTACULAR

LOVED IT SO MUCH

Last night my aunt and I went to a reading and signing with Sarah Vowell, who is perhaps my favorite nonfiction author and as you may know, I want her life. The reading was from her new book about the Massachusetts Bay puritans, The Wordy Shipmates. and it was HILARIOUS. I'm going to have to order a copy for myself (Left Bank Books was hosting it and to get in the signing line you had to buy one of their copies for $28, HA HAH like hell, indie bookstore price-gougers. But my aunt bought a copy and after the reading and question session (which involved some douche asking where Sarah Palin would feel at home in the early colonies and Vowell went on an awesome tangent about Ann Hutchinson) we got in the line and I had her sign my copy of Assassination Vacation and told her one of my library history nerd escapades. she laughed. it was great fun.

The reading, by the way, was held in the super cool Mad Art Gallery downtown, which is an old police station with cells and shit, and seems like a really cool venue. I'd like to show stuff there someday.

Today at the library is kind of boring, more shelf-weeding of old horrible condition outdated books. (we'll sell them) I'm working through political history and stuff, and I had to fight the urge to disappear/destroy some Ann Coulter trash I found crapping up the shelves. ugh.

...I hid it behind the row of books. >_< I had to.

Tomorrow night is going to be AWESOME. I'm still debating whether I should be a pirate for work that morning or not. the crackheads might get scared.
 

Tonight's dinner, as prepared by dad and myself:

Red beans and rice, with sausage (awesome!)

CORNBREAD


(I made the cornbread)


IT WAS FUCKING DELICIOUS. I loooove beans and rice but we almost never make cornbread because mom is lazy. so I took it upon myself and I think we are all glad I did. 

I requested that we turn off the tv during our family meal but dad HAD to watch the DNC coverage so we had it on mute. ye gods. he's like a politics junkie.

 So I had a pretty awesome weekend and I'm pretty sure I haven't picked up any ticks, but I'm constantly checking my hair anyway. Fireworks were good as usual, the barbecue was top notch, and it was good to spend some relaxing time with the family and chill out and nap as long as I want. 

I just finished watching the Doctor Who Finale,  which was made of lame, and I think that's all I need to say about that. Laaaaaame! I shouldn't be able to think up plots better than the actual episodes with this show! save that for Lost!

More importantly, I'm leaving tomorrow morning (GHEE!!!) for Geneva to spend some time with my girl, and that's way more important than silly british scifi shows.

I have to pack. shiiiiiiit.

I'm sick as a dog today. it's no fun at all. I kept waking up in the night because I couldn't breathe and I'm just congested and slimy and gross and I want it to go away. At this rate I'm not sure if I'll be able to work on the run Monday. eh. we'll see. 

I will spend the day on the couch, in my jim jams, drinking tea. I have plenty of dvds. 


Oh, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was....um.....I can't even describe it, really. there were parts of it that were awesome, and then there were parts that were unbelievably bad, and it makes me want to beat Spielberg and Lucas with a bag full of oranges.
