a new baby

that's right. my cousin Amy had a baby sunday night - a little boy, as a matter of fact. Hudson Wyatt Geer. Now there's a strong name if i ever heard one. (no pun intended - Amy's maiden name is Strong.) Anyways - i'm excited to see the little creature, but i probably won't see him til Christmas, or next year. It's kind of odd to think about, really.

In a previous post i mentioned how today was, and will continue to be, a strange day. And i was completely correct in my observation and prediction. UCO was bizarre. in addition to several other factors, I had to fill in for a small solo that belongs to my roommate (she was "sick" today) and i just have to say that it was the worst i've sounded in quite some time. I'm pretty sure i sounded better 17 years ago when I was in bed with Scarlet Fever, coughing up blood day and night. I make no joke here. I was wretched.

Moving on.

Dinner was interesting. i entered the caf ravenous, but i was only able to muscle down one bite of a buttered bagel, and a cupful of sprite. Conversation was inspiring, however, and now i am . . . inspired. Tonight I am going to write my fiction piece for Creative Writing, and work on my music project for Aesthetics (which means write and record some music.) i look forward to both of these events. Truth be told, i REALLY should go to Pilates but i am sooooooo unmotivated. I'm weary and lazy.

in honor of my dad's 49th birthday (which was yesterday, Nov. 12) i'd like to put up a picture of him and me when i was a just a wee bairn.



i love my father very very very very very very very very very very much.
