rah rah sis boom bah

has been an eventful one. i don't really feel like going into details, but
let's just say it involved the following:

-finally unpacking the rest of our stuff

-leading a team of people to handpaint and distribute over 500 t shirts

-working on a paper that was due a year ago

-submitting something to a conference to be held in vancouver, before I
checked to see how much it costs to get to vancouver. let's hope they
reject my submission.

-recording 4 new songs with the santonies

-getting ready for our show in 2 weeks

-getting invited to play another show the day right after that one
(leading me to fall into this self-debate about whether we are
overexposing ourselves, only to realize that playing two shows is not
really overexposure. it's a lot different from, say, your video being on
mtv 100 times a day.)

-having a class be cancelled because the teacher was sick.

-handing out free hot chocolate outside for two hours. stirring was a
pain. and it was cold.

-usual homework, reading, experiment crap.

-wondering why the hell i'm in grad school, and, more importantly, what
the hell i'm going to do with myself when i get out.

-thinking maybe, just maybe, it's time to get my crap together and be an
actual real adult with a clean apartment and a goal in life.

-quickly squashing previous concerns with half hour hello kitty koma.

-washing my seriously dirty pants.
