geez. I've been terrible about updating.

Guess I should mebntion that I got the internet working aghain in the house. I say "I" because I was the one to go complain about it to the right people.

Have thought about putting some of the stuff from my Writing Poetry class up, but I think I'll wait until I've revised them thoroughly. Meaning after I turnm in my portfolio at the end of the semester.

Mom's birthday is coming up soon, too. I should get her a card or something... at least I'm remembering it's soon instread of forgetting altogether.

Gonna go on a little road-trip today to some tiny town nearby so I can get a feel for it and write my "place" poem for Tuesday. It's raining out, so it may be a good day to visit a dreary little dustspeck town (ooh, I like the sound of that).

Have thought about getting pet rats, as inspired by Jess and time with hers, but realize that it should probably wait until I have my own place where they're technically allowed to be. Upshot is that I miss having animals around. Got some plants for the living room, but it's not quite the same.

It's parents weekend here at Allegheny, and that makes me miss mine even more. I feel guilty for not having called recently.
