Electricity will scribble out your family name. Wednesday, November 26, 2008

I am going home today! Rob and I are going to celebrate my Thanksgiving and his Christmas. I'm excited. Very excited.

Last night I listened to the following albums:
XO - Elliott Smith
Emerald City - John Vanderslice
When I Pretend to Fall - The Long Winters
Blame it on Gravity - Old 97s

PJ and I made pepper jelly salmon and jasmine rice. I made tea for myself and Rob and ate cookies and did butt-loads of dishes. Rob waltzed with me to Waltz #2 (XO). I folded laundry, cleaned up after myself, and did my weekly chores. I found out that John Vanderslice played at LC while I went there (maybe Freshman or Sophomore year) and I didn't go see him because I had no idea who he was until this last August. I imbibed and made prints of a special carving. I finally called myself an artist. We bundled up at 10 pm and went to Fred Meyers to buy a frame and came back with Q-tips instead. I did more chores, broke the wall, made more prints, and finally went to bed at 1 am.

It was a good night, indeed.

Victory for the Democrats - Democratic president, democratic congress! Nothing can stop us now!

(...except the national deficit, the federal budget, the economic crisis, global climate change, and a legacy of bad decisions from the last administration)

Whatever... baby-steps, right?
