oi

I'm not so good at this keeping up with a blog thing. Though, I partially blame network connection (though I can't blame it too much since we aren't exactly paying for it most of the time).

Miki and I have both had unhappy tummies lately which makes wandering difficult, so mostly I've just been going to class then back home to curl in a ball.

The weather here has been fantastic. We have had a few thunderstorms during the afternoon and I love I watching them roll in. Then after the rain, the view is becomes very clear and the mountains are visible on all sides. Last night, Tias, Daniel (or whatever the Brazilian spelling or it would be), and I went to Saturday cafe for dinner. The view off the roof was amazing because the mountains peaked out behind the stupa. I tried to get pictures but it was already getting dark and they didn't come out.

I talked to Brenna, and she got into CMU so chances are she will be going there and living we me come fall. I have mixed feeling about it. Part of me is excited, because she is my sister and I will be happy to have a closer relationship with her, but I'm also a little tired of her antics. While I've been gone, she has totaled the Saturn (while driving home from a male strip club no less), come home drunk and gotten Rory to help her cover it up, gone to CD warehouse to try to get Amanda to buy her alcohol, and caught a bus down to Pgh to stay at my house without permission. I didn't ask Nigel, but if I find out that she asked him to buy her alcohol I may strangle her.

Now that I've written all that though...she's no worse than any other house mate that Nigel and I have had. In fact, Nigel may see her as blessed relief from the first one who would stumble into the house at two and start drunk vacuuming and from the current one who left water running in the bathroom and brought down the ceiling in the kitchen. Maybe she won't be so bad after all.

It's kind of funny, but that little house may be the only thing other than my kittens and puppy that I miss.

Anyway, Miki and I are heading out to run some errands soon. Maybe I will have something less boring to write about later.
cheers
