What the hell, Austin? Record high yesterday (81° F) and then thundersleet and snow last night? Freakin’ bi-polar weather… Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there.

Hey! Another meme! Put your music player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first song is the title. Boat’s Up The River And It Won’t Come Down There is trouble in the world today On rides the captain and three hundred soldier lads I hear what you’re telling me but that don’t make it so. Well first you gotta want to get off At first I didnt understand when she walked through the door You’re like a cool breeze to a hot spell…

You know, I don’t think I’ll try to force myself to post every day again. Maybe it’s that I feel obligated to post, which makes me rebel. Or maybe I just don’t have a life. :D I’m ok with that, really. I happen to like my well upholstered rut. Anyway. One more duty post after this one, and then it’s back to random sporadic posting. Maybe I’ll manage to post once a week! Almost into the homestretch for this semester at school. One more test in Government, and I’ve got a paper in American Lit due, and that’s it. Next…

Between Macy’s rickrolling of America and the “Turkeys Away” episode of WKRP in Cincinnati, I don’t think today can get much better! Confession: We’re having french dip sammiches tonight because the turkey isn’t completely thawed and we can’t be bothered to force it. :D I love a no-pressure holiday! I’m thankful for: My husband. My non-annoying in-laws. Being able to go to college at this late date. Many other things I’m unable to articulate. Also, my husband.

I woke up (to pee, natch) before the alarm went off, and now I’m actually awake! What’s up with that? So that American Lit test I thought I blew? Got a 98. Seriously, what is wrong with me?? I still feel like my answers weren’t worth full points – I’m under the theory that the prof was scoring my test late, he wanted to get to bed, and was all “screw it, good enough.” Or something. Wow. Mornings. The sky just a few minutes ago was this gorgeous light purple. Normally, I’m against sunrises – the only way they should…

Things that might be on a TurkeyDay table that I’d rather not see: Cranberry sauce1 – what can I say, I’ve never liked the stuff. In my family it was always the canned gel kind, with the can indents still on the… congealed red… stuff. Honestly, I don’t know if I’ve ever tried the “real” kind – and I don’t feel like I’m missing anything. :D Peas – I. Hate. Peas. I’ve tried them a number of occasions, and I just Do Not Like them. Bleh. Yams w/ marshmallows – ugh. Just, ugh. Now. I don’t care what anybody says,…

Fun quiz! American Civil Literacy – take the quiz – No cheating, now! You answered 31 out of 33 correctly — 93.94 % Average score for this quiz during November: 78.0% Average score: 78.0% I missed two on economics, which doesn’t surprise me. Hm. Maybe I should make an economics class my “unrestricted elective”. I love history. Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there.

I’ve discovered that I don’t like the pressure of feeling like I have to post every day. I’m going to tough it out though, because I still feel bad about miserably failing the Project 365 photo challenge. At least it’s only one month. Can’t promise any earth-shattering or deeply moving posts though. So, today. School. Government is fun, we’re on the Bill of Rights. Talking about the first and fourth, and the class is an uproar. In American Lit we’ve gone from Thoreau and Whitman to the Declaration of Independence, Abigail and John Adam’s letters, and Frederick Douglass – the…

<snork> I attempted to make the following tweet: “LiveJournal down until 2pm – probably longer for me due to TimeWarner’s notorious name server issues.” … only to get this message: Twitter is currently down for database maintenance. LiveJournal AND Twitter down at the same time? COINCIDENCE?? I think NOT!
