Dudes! I'm back! hahahaha. Now, on almost the 4-week anniversary of the last time I blogged.

So anyway, not much has happened since then, actually. I'm still engaged. The party will commence December 27th at approximately 6:30 p.m., after we get married at 11. And YOU'RE ALL INVITED! haha. Meaning Hannah and Nicole. And Katie, of course, if you even ever still read this! Speaking of which, Katie, I need to call you re: your potential trip to Utah. We need to make some plans if you're still going to come!

Anyway, so basically my life now consists of class, work, studying, and The Party on December 27th. I already have a dress, but that's about it. Woo hoo! My colors are different shades of reddish pinkish purplishes, if that's vague enough for you. And I want reddish pinkish purplish calla lilies and roses. Boo yeah.

So seriously, don't ever take 4 lit classes at one time. It's way too much reading, writing and searching for themes! Right now I'm taking contemporary American lit (1960-present), Shakespeare, later British lit (19th & 20th centuries) and an entire class devoted to the poetry and plays of William Butler Yeats. Also D&C. I like most of the stuff I'm reading though. For example, the D&C. haha. Also: American Short Story Masterpieces. Very good. Or Blue Skin of the Sea, by Graham Salisbury, also good. Or Running in the Family by Michael Ondaatje (author of The English Patient), also good. Then there's Frankenstein by Mary Shelley - kinda freaky. Plays by W.B. Yeats, which are very freaky and HE'S freaky. He was like a magician or something. Also I've read a bunch of Romantic poetry, i.e. Wordsworth, which I thoroughly enjoy. So far in my Shakespeare class we've read Much Ado About Nothing - which, by the way, is my new favorite movie and I continue to love Kenneth Branagh and Denzel Washington - and The Taming of the Shrew, my new favorite Shakespeare comedy. Even though we had to talk about whether it was politically correct for an hour this morning. OK, so it's not politically correct! It's still awesome! haha. I'm a feminist, okay, but I don't think there's anything the matter with loving your husband and being good to him. I guess that's a little general for Taming of the Shrew, but anyway. The point is, I liked the play. It made me want to watch Ten Things I Hate About You again. Even though people in my apartment watch that movie about 3 times a week, haha.

Hannah, do you remember when Mom and Dad made us watch the Elizabeth Taylor/Richard Burton Taming of the Shrew for family home evening once? hahaha. I remember being like, "What is this?"

This is my life now! Reading. And patronizing SparkNotes in cases like Frankenstein. hahaha. Poor monster, I felt so bad for him. Nobody liked him, just because he was made out of old dead body parts and he went around strangling people.

Anyway, now I'm going to go read some more. I'm trying to get better at blogging! Really! Slowly, yet quite surely.

Music: Back to You - Johnathan Mayer, haha, what if that was his name?
Book: Blue Skin of the Sea
Love: my purple cords; also, the tasty turkey sandwich I made for my lunch; also, writing a decent blog after a month's absence. :)
