i'm clean now. it's about the time of year where i start showering at night because it's too cold to walk to class in the morning with wet hair and i refuse to take the time and effort to dry it.

lots to do tomorrow:
10:00 - print off stuff for dr appt
10:45 - dr appt
11:30 - rest of geology of mars (didn't happen; was at dr till 12:10)
12:00 - food!
13:00 - call freaking apple people about my ipod AGAIN
13:45 - work on planetary geology maps
16:30 - football!
after - go to target
after - go to sarah's, water plants, get mail
after - go grocery shopping for thanksgiving food
after - get my cousin erin's present and card together
after - work on planetary geology maps

then wednesday:
8:40 - ta petrology (the only freaking class i will attend on wed, and it has to be at 8:40 in the morning, sigh)
10:00 - leave school, go to post office, mail sarah's mail and erin's present
11:00 - go to bank, deposit $ in chris' account
12:00 - food!
13:00 - make chocolate pie for thanksgiving/work on planetary geology maps
17:00 - meet james at borders at 101 and scottsdale rd
19:00 - stargazing event begins yay!
later - go home and sleep!

weee. never a dull moment. at least i won't be bored. i wouldn't have it any other way. i'm so happy i get to help out at the stargazing event. i love teaching people about the stars and everything else that's up there. it's going to be cold. need to dig out my scarf and hat. wonder what happened to my gloves. hmm.

the good news is that both the cowboys game on thanksgiving day and the ut/tx a&m game on friday are on tv in tempe. at least i can watch my teams play.

also, i've been invited to the hollywood premier of king kong. james' girlfriend mary is on the production team. she also worked on lord of the rings. it would be awesome to go and i could stay with britney but i don't think i'll be able to come up with the funds to actually get out to la and back. also, the premier is on dec 14 and i've got finals on the 13th. and laurie leshin is coming in for paul niles' phd graduation and it would be really nice to see both of them. i don't know. i guess i'll just see what happens. maybe an opportunity will present itself. or maybe not. who knows.

i'm disappointed in the geology faculty of austin community college. my brother is taking a class there and his instructor led a trip into the texas hill country, where i'll be going over christmas for a day. he didn't take them to enchanted rock, or even mention it (or my brother wasn't listening, which is a distinct possibility), and he did not tell them anything about llanite, a rhyolite you can only get in llano, texas. or the austin chalk, which is the same unit as the white cliffs of dover. he apparently showed them the outside of longhorn caverns but didn't take them in the freaking cave. SIGH. this guy sucks. it makes me sad that he didn't show them the really cool stuff that's out there.

enough of my rant for this evening. tired. bedtime. perhaps. i'm a little wound up. i think some south park may be what i need.

recap: yay hygiene woo, it's cold outside, much to do in the next couple days, i get to play football tomorrow, stargazing is awesome, get to see my teams play at thanksgiving, might be going to king kong hollywood premier, acc geofaculty sucks, time for south park. 'night all.

feeling some better today. had weird dreams but i don't really remember much about them except that one was taking place in the surf of santa monica beach.

i ate lunch and had some blue bell ice cream. yum yum.

one of the people i've kept in contact with is one of my science teachers from middle school. i talked to her for an hour and a half this afternoon. it was a really good talk. she's amazing. we talked about everything that's been going on and how i'm dealing, and what i should do/focus on for the rest of the semester. she's going snorkling in hawaii for thanksgiving. i'm jealous. anyway, over christmas, the two of us are going to take a little road trip out to the texas hill country (around llano) and go hiking and rock-hunting. she wants me to teach her about all the rocks and that's a really great area with a lot of geologic diversity. it'll be good to go hiking and be outside and just get away from everything. it's really pretty there too.

got to talk to todd in iraq today too. he's leaving in two weeks to come home. he should be back in texas by the beginning of december! i can't wait to see him at christmas. the bad news is he will probably have to go back to iraq. hopefully it'll be after july. i'd like him to get through a semester of college and go on a cruise with sara and me after she graduates from ut and go to the dock with us on the 4th of july.

i'm going to the batting cages tonight. i can't wait.

think i'll talk to james and see if he'll be around thanksgiving weekend. i'd like to come up to his house and look at the stars and such with his telescope. it's nice there. very clear with little light pollution.

okay. dishes, shower, grading. woo.

recap: feeling some better, food and ice cream are good, i love my friend, hill country rocks are fun, todd's coming home soon, woo batting cages, i like stars, stuff to do now. bye
