summer is just around the corner

Well, class is nearing an end and I am kind of surprised. It feels like this has been a v. fast moving train. I look forward to reading my classmates blogs; there are a couple I've checked throughout the term and it is really interesting to see how everyone has a different style.

Last night I discovered people had actually commented on my blog! It was such a shock to think that someone had actually read it, even though I had been reading others.

Other stuff: I can tell that summer really is here, as there is tons going on: Cyndi Lauper concerts, regattas, Top of the Park, and weddings. I haven't actually done most of what is available, most recently my activities include lots of euchre. But still, summer is wonderful.

It is strange to have these be my primary concerns when so much of the U.S. is devastated by floods. I'm from Kansas and used to have friends in Iowa, but they are long gone now. It is strange to begin to think of them again after all this time and wonder what is going on; if their homes -- their towns -- are one of the few not under water.

vanity fair

So I probably won't write much, but I just received my most recent issue of Vanity Fair and this article about the internet was in it (how timely!) I will be honest and say that I've not read it yet but I definitely will given (a) I like VF and (b) I want to know if some of the people interviewed anticipated how big their moves would be. I haven't read it yet b/c I've been too busy getting disappointed by the new Sex & the City movie.

I hate this humidity

I really don't have a lot to write, but I wanted to write that. 'Cuz it is true.

am having fun with css!

my lunch break is up, so I really can't write much, but was having fun with CSS yesterday and today.
Mercury is retrograde and I can really tell; it feels like there is chaos all around.
Supposedly my camera is fixed; hopefully I can get it this weekend.
That's all for now!

animal awareness

So yesterday was animal awareness day for me.
In the span of about an hour I saw:
a chipmunk cross the road and stop 1/2 way; so I stopped until it continued on.
a cat running in a yard (I thought it was going into the street but it detoured at the last minute).
a toad in the road. It was at a 4-way intersection and I pulled up right next to it.
It sat completely still and so then I stuck on my hazards, veered the car behind me to go around, and picked up the toad (well, after a couple of hops) and put him in the grass.
I feel like this is the natural thing anyone would do (I mean, it was at a slow stop intersection not in the middle of the highway) but my hairdresser disagreed.
I then told her about when I did something similar a couple of years ago, only it was on a back road highway and instead of a toad it was a large snapping turtle. (I dropped it when it tried to get my finger, but evenso, it was much closer to the shoulder and headed towards grass!)
