nuns
yeah, it must have been nun's weekend out or something. i saw three at the point taking pictures and being very cute. i was surprised since they had a pretty close to full habit. unusual.

stalking and such

very strange. and scary. and w. thinks i'm too paranoid about the blog (i think one of my professors reads it. a little scary). i went to dinner with the two roommates from london and some loyola people and one of the roommates started quizzing me about the blog. like, i hear you have a cat? and starting that paper a little late, yes? anonymity is the way to go.

yeah, i guess. it turns out that the girl added the class late and so gave me a bunch of homework. now, she couldn't have added the class after fifth week, which was six weeks ago, so i'm not sure i buy that as an excuse. and i'm not sure i know what problems were assigned to grade them. i think i'll email craig and see if he says i have to grade it. and ordinarily i would turn the grades in on time (and i'm going to try to) but we just got the homeworks on monday and i do have finals. i think one of the other ta's convinced him that we could have till friday.

glad you liked yale. and hey, chicago isn't an example of urban blight! houston isn't exactly urban either, just suburban blight.

three philosophical questions

if you were only going to turn in one homework one quarter, would it be the one due on the day of the final? and if the person you're taing for (is there a better title?) says he wants the grades by wednesday, how set in stone do you think that is?

mmm, margaritas

ordering a pitcher of margaritas with two other people, one of whom barely drinks is probably a bad idea. we had a fun trip home, though. we decided that the sound that pirates would make was "yorrrr" and that the reason that vikings don't exist anymore and pirates do is that "yarrrrr" is much more fun to say than "yorrrrr." and we bought chocolate from that place up at north & clybourn. oh, and we should go try to get arepas while you're here.

i feel like a party at which pants were prohibited would be a very different sort of party than that which you went to!

well, hope the packing went ok and you caught the bus. and that your bag didn't run away from you. have a good flight, if you see this before you go (unlikely, i think).

links? hmm. i'll think also.

i tried moving the quote to the left. do you like that any better? the quote on the off-white block was driving me crazy, but i don't know a good way of getting around it.

ok, the title is now black. it could be dark blue if you want. replace black in the template with #333399, i think. do we want to put in some links?

glad the feast was fun. how bad were the shoes? are you going to sleep soon? i bet you're exhausted.
