So:
Tail end of October saw my family meeting up with other bits of family at the cabin. It was a simply delicious time, and not altogether figuratively. The air up there, as anyone knows is nearly better than food, unless the cooking is really quite swell. And, well, it was. I still think I like the air better tho ;)
November has found me at midterms and papers to write and math hw and spanish hw and.... etc. <nods>
You all know the drill. However, I'm happy. What's interesting tho, is we haven't had stitch of rain in November yet. I'm so used to the sky crying out it's sorrows the whole first week of November I'm really disoriented, as it did that almost exactly a month ago. October almost didn't seem real as a result. I'm not used to the new daylight savings time yet... I guess it's tonight: I'm kinda glad, cause I'm getting to bed late... again. Ah well, the perils and the joys of youth eh?
Also, something I've discovered... The Phantom of the Opera. I know many people have this horrible idea about Opera in their heads, and most of them have never heard an opera. I used to be the same. I heard the reviews and was disgusted. Who wants to listen to people stretching their voices to the extent that dogs begin howling, and doing a lot of word-obliterating vibratos, except you couldn't understand it anyways, cause you don't know Italian? Not I. However.... That's not what Opera is all about. Certainly, there is bad opera. But opera is ... <breathe> amazing. I love it. I've been an adoring fan ever since my friend invited me to accompany her to an opera. It is the most outstanding thing in my knowledge of artistic class. Phantom of the Opera is a brilliantly humorous edition of both the Good and Bad operas. There is Carlotta... who is the epitome of what most ppl think of "opera". And it is. And it's very talented. And it's hard to listen to. And then there is Miss Christine Daaê... who is. Good. Very good. <nods> you should all familiarize yourselves with the soundtrack if you haven't been exposed already.
Finally, I've learned (by accident) how to make those little things that everyone else has been making for hundreds well... tens of years. ☺♫ re a drop of golden ☼♪ ‼
Hope this finds all of you doing splendidly well! (and just because I can: ♀φΦ╚▬▬⌠⌡╠╬╤╪╛Στⁿ╓ ≈δ♣§☼☻☺π♫•○^►Θ◄ ¥£░♥░░░░░█████♥█┼:☺◙º√♪ I bid thee farewell!
