An Insubstantial Blog

I still have new cross-stitch creations to post. I also have to frame them and I still have to design at least 2 more!

Things are starting to speed up here. In a little over 2 weeks, I'll be on the plane for London! Today, I went shopping and bought 2 pairs of black pants for the pub as well as some much needed new clothing. I still need to get a good pair of hiking shoes and my backpack which my parents are getting as a Christmas present but I really would like it now.

This week, I really do have to get these grad school applications more started than they are. I met with the Special Collections/Preservation librarian at my school for an informal interview. So, there's one thing I did for the apps. He also gave me a big long reading list on rare books librarianship. If only I had money and I'd actually go and buy the books.

Well, I was going to make this longer, but it looks like I have a birthday party to attend. More later.

Today has been a total waste of a day. Now, it's 1am and I am grumpy. I didn't get any cross-stitching done. I didn't get any reading done. I didn't get anything done about grad school applications. Oh and I didn't make any money. Lame.

Tomorrow, I must do better. I have spent the last two hours looking at tattoo photos. As an art history major, I love art but I love all types of art. Flipping through tattoo photos has become a late night addiction. I want another. Luckily, I have no money so I will be forced to think through it long and hard. And to spend nights surfing tattoo forums, bmezine.com, and places to get the said tattoo.

I think I'm going to go read. I am currently attempting to finish a 750 page book called London: A Biography. I've been reading that and only that for almost a month now. Considering that I was reading 1-2 books a week before, I'm a bit embarrassed to have skimped so much on reading. I don't work all that much so I should be spending more time doing productive things instead of watching TV, which I did half the day today. Normally, I don't watch TV unless I'm doing something with my hands. And today I was just a lump.

Okay, time to shut the computer down, dammit!
