Randomness

I like being on vacation. Brian and I took a day trip to North Conway, NH yesterday (more writings on this trip will come later).

I'm planning on sewing, working on homework and trying to take a huge chunk out of the work for my final papers, and spending time doing girly things like a home-manicure and sitting with a masque. Ah, I feel so decadent! At some point I need to make an apple pie to bring over on Thanksgiving to my parent's house. I'm even hoping to wrap the Xmas presents that I have for them and leave them there on Thursday - after dinner we'll be putting up their tree and I figured I could leave them under the tree since I won't have much room in my house for them.

I have to go to a discussion at Beth Israel Hospital with one of my classes today. Its being presented on the idea of "root causes" of mental illness and we're being given free lunch by some pharmaceutical company (its geared toward doctors, but open to the public). I haven't hung out in the Longwood area since oh, when I was still at Simmons. :) My professor lives right over the line in Brookline and she's letting us park at her house, whoot!

Here's a great link to an article about Prince, The Foo Fighter's Darlin' Nikki cover and the state of things today:

I won the contest at work for decorating a holiday hat. Here's pics of the hat and my prize basket - its a Xmas/Halloween themed hat and to stick with the Nightmare Before Christmas theme there are Jacks on there too. The Halloween fence and the Christmas trees actually light up:

I hope you're all having a great week! We should see some of you at Man Ray tomorrow night :)

thanks for mentioning the Darling Nikki cover - I heard it a while ago on the radio, but they never said who did it. now I know!

re: the hat - very cool, and great prize basket to boot!

re: ManRay, maybe I'll get J out of the house to go; although I'm not sure about it yet, this might be my 'last chance' to see some people for a while. we'll see.

I totally forgot you were on vacation. :)

That hat is awesome!

That explains it

So that's why I haven't been getting the "evils of the healtcare" industry fix lately...you're on vacation.

Glad you're decompressing nicely, though it seems you're still making a lot of work for yourself.

See you tonight!
