I'm told that there is an already coined phrase that goes something like 'Christmanikwanzika', but mine is a hell of a lot easier to say.
As I've previously said, I hope you all have a happy. Choose your holiday, or make up your own, but for the Little Fishes' sakes, celebrate something!. Celebrate the fact that you can celebrate whatever you want, or that there are friends around, or it's rainy and your warm and dry, or anything. Celebrate the fact that despite our current leanings this country is still open enough to print non-christian holidays on it's calendar...sound like something completely normal? I thought so, until I wished J happy Channika and he asked how I knew. "Er...it's on my little calendar...and my big calender...and all the other calenders." Apparently that's pretty special.
Now, in a few hours i'm off to Olympia via Portland. It makes about as much sense as most other things I do. In the meantime I'll be attempting to finish my portfolio for Berkeley, pack, and clean the appartment. To give myself a little pat on the back, I've been taking a look at this: http://www.livejournal.com/users/skellington1/12465.html#cutid1
Okay, I didn't finish everything that's on the list - but I'm coming damn close. Art History and Web Design were both done without any late nights. Lummi island is as done as it needs to be until January. Not one but two dr.'s appts have been persued. I've talked with the lady about fiddle lessons. I'm almost done with the 'latte'. The rest of break? Grad school apps.
Ta, daalings!
