What's an enigma? NEVER MIND!
Okay, so this has nothing whatsoever to do with enigmas, or anything, I'm just giddy today for no apparent reason (though the pile of work I have to do by next Monday should make me depressed), but for those of you who haven't learned anything new today yet, an enigma is:
1. One that is puzzling, ambiguous, or inexplicable.
Thanks to dictionary.com.
Anywho, now that's out of my system. Hooray! It's December first! I'm not sure why this is exciting, well aside from my chocolate Advent calendar. I had to start with day 21 though, because it was already open. Luckily though, because I'm smart, I figured out to cross of the 2 in 21, and write a 2 before 1 to make 21. Smart, no?
So this week has been noteworthyless. Went to bed super late on Monday night, was up super early on Tuesday morning, did the class thing, did the lunch thing, did the skipping chemistry lab even though i probably should have gone because i didn't write my paper either thing, did the driving to green bay thing, did the going to a painful play thing, did the going to KROLLS thing, and then went home. Yes, yesterday was a noreworthyless day.
Ooh, unless you count getting Muppet Christmas Carol on DVD noteworthy, because I sure do. Yeah for that! More to aid in my procrastinating on the paper that I don't want to write because hell, it's already late...but I have to make sure I write a decent-ish paper now. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Went to see The King & I last night at the Weidner Center. The way it was built up to be a good play on Hwy 41 you'd think it wouldn't have been so painful! I was in pain from the minute we got there till we left. I thought the singer who played Anna was going to make my ears bleed. And everyone else I couldn't understand anyway. I guess that's what saved my ears from bleeding. Though I have to admit the singer who played the King of Siam was hilarious. He was so good at the male chauvanist role. So despite his character flaws, I found him amusing :)
Ooh, and I did (over lunch) figure out the line from One Night in Bangkok:
"The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner"
Yup, I'm slow. Besides, I ONLY saw the play in 1995 (ooh, shit, that was 6th grade). Score one for me.
It was okay though, because going to Kroll's West afterwards made up for any pain that was inflicted upon seeing The King & I. Even though my arteries clogged and I gained 10 pounds just from looking at my food....
Lunch! Lunch was fun! Lunch was at Republican House. Yeah! And there was a whole contingent of us. Yeah!
Got lost in Green Bay too. It was kinda fun. But kinda not. But I got Muppet Christmas Carol, so it was all good.
Ummm.
Am I forgetting anything??
My shoulder hurts. But I have no idea why. And it leaves me defenseless against smacking people when they need to be smacked.
Yeah...I think that's it for me.















Joking, of course!
Yay my recital!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It went extremely well. Joe even went so far as to say that Kirin (in her grape costume or big purple muumuu, aka shapeless purple corduroy dress...agh) was dancing. Until Mom smacked her. Gooooooooooooood that I didn't see that or I would have burst out laughing.
Anyway, things went without a hitch. There were a few little mistakes, but overall nothing to be terribly upset about! Hooray for that! Either way, it's over, it went very well (in my humble opinion), and I wasn't nervous beforehand. I was frozen (literally, the hall was freezing! it was craaaaaaaaaaaaaazy) on stage, but not really all that terribly nervous. So that was good. And it's over. And there was a recording made!! Yay for that!! So I'll probably be yoinking that from the resource center soon and making copies. So I can breathe a sigh of relief. Hope that answers your questions, Abdul. ;)

Oh! The STRANGEST thing happened today.
I went to the mailroom as usual (and just to clarify, no, my German history textbook isn't here yet, hahahaha), and found a little envelope with a cute little dog on it, and chinese symbols.
If you remember back to my freshman year, you may automatically think of the only one person who would have possibly sent me anything in the mail with chinese symbols, and you're right.
But I'll continue.
I was extremely puzzled, because I knew there was only one person who would have logistically sent me something with chinese symbols on it, so I was baffled. The writing bore a trace of familiarity, as I recalled it from lots of strange messages written on my door and such during freshman year.
I'm not going to keep you in suspence any longer, but yes, the note WAS from calah.
*insert strange expression on face right here*
For those of you who don't know, Calah & I never really got along, and we did live together as suitemates our freshman year. After things got extremely messy and crappy and blegh!, I relocated after spring break, and we haven't ever really spoken since.
So you can imagine my surprise at finding a note from her in my mailbox.
Not only was it a note from Calah, BUT she came to my recital yesterday!! HUHWHAT???????? AND told me she looks forward to the one in April.
Needless to say, I'm a little surprised.
But then again, as our last names are right next to each other in the senior class, hopefully this will make alphabetical seating at graduation slightly less awkward. Yikes. :)
