Back in the dorms

I'm back in the dorms for my final semester at school. It turned out to be the easiest solution. I really enjoyed that whole living on your own thing we did while in the apartment but I guess all good things must come to an end. I do feel rather old here seeing as some of my floormates are still undecided and my hall director is my age.

On the plus side I have a nice view of the dumpster, totally a joke. Truthfully though, I am much closer to some friends now than I was last year so that will be fun.

How are your own living arrangements for this year?

www.librarything.com

I just joined librarything.com where you can catalog your books, write reviews, rate the books, join groups, and even see who has the most books in common with you. It is free up to 200 books. My sidebar is also provided by the site. Up there I have some of the stuff I've read in this past year. Don't actually own all of them. So if you're a reader like me this is a nice site for you!

Not Pictures this time

Ok ok I guess you don't just want to see pictures???

Well what do i have to say? Yesterday I finished up putting around 300 pins and connecting them with string in a paper mache globe. I took 190 pictures of glassware. Today I started making my very first canvas boy does that eat up a day. I'm in the process of starting to design two wine labels.

Try Izze sparkling juice. The cans are so beautiful and it tastes good as well. Watch Desperate Housewives, it's funny. Start a book club, we haven't even picked our first book and it's rather exciting. Listen to Head Automatic "Beating Heart Baby." Haven't stopped listening to that song since the summer.

I actually had alittle time over the break to watch some movies:

A lot Like Love- so so. It had it's funny moments.

Kung Fu Hustle- dumber than I thought it would be, probably don't watch.

Maria Full of Grace- pretty interesting and predictiable.

Dear Frankie- really sweet. I'd suggest this one. It's about a deaf boy who's mother authors letters from "his father" who's supposed to be out at sea. One day the boy finds out his father's boat is coming to shore and his mother hires a stranger to be a dad for the day...
