Bit of Ivory

I will anyway, though, I guess. The gist of the matter is that I’m buried under schoolwork (both thesis and assignments from class), still suffering from the writers block that has plagued me for the past, oh, year and a half, praying I’ll get everything done in order to actually graduate in December, and seriously […]

Thanks to all for the good advice! I’ve been doing much better the last couple of days. Although I’m still hungry sometimes, it’s not overwhelming, and I’ve been better at budgeting my points so that I have a few left over at the end of the day for when I inevitably get munchy. Although last […]

So. I started Weight Watchers yesterday. I’m doing the online version ’cause I hated going to the meetings the last time I tried it. And. . . I’m hungry. I always get munchy late at night, and, of course, it’s a carb-kind of munchiness. But I’m determined to stick this out. I weigh more now […]

I should write about how my car broke down on Sunday leaving us stranded in a gas station for three hours and how it’s still not fixed, and still sitting in that gas station 250 miles away. Or maybe I should write about how school started this week and how my class is going to […]

Take a look at this article about Brian Vaughn’s Hamlet, which I discovered by doing a Google News search for “Brian Vaughn.” Luckily, I’m not alone in thinking he’s one of the best Hamlets ever. Hoping to go back for one last performance on Labor Day weekend. Even if I have to go alone.

Guess where I’m posting from? A hotel room in Cedar City, of course! My intimidation/brainwashing campaign against my family worked, and we’re taking a short trip to Cedar City to enjoy Shakefest 2006 before the summer season ends. Today, we saw a matinee of HMS Pinafore (which was just as entertaining as last time) and […]

I apologize for the lateness of this, and I’m only half done. Unfortunately, writing up my vacation meant uploading pictures, and uploading pictures meant attempting to get my gallery issues straightened out, which meant lots of updating to my website. And then I had to actually write it. And in between, I got to hold […]

I’m way too tired to write anything up tonight about the fabulous trip I’ve just had, but I will say two things: I’m trying to convince my parents that we DO have time to take a couple of days to go down to Cedar City and see Pinafore and Hamlet again. I’m also trying to […]

So, I’m at the Shakespearean Festival, right? One would expect great Shakespeare plays. I’ve been before, and seen what these people can do. I was entertained by The Merry Wives of Windsor, but frankly, Antony and Cleopatra was boring. HMS Pinafore was quite hilarious, though. Between plays and friends and shopping, I’ve had quite an […]
