I am alive! Ta-da! My college trip of Doom is over, finally! Now it&#8217;s just a few days at Martha&#8217;s Vineyard, and I&#8217;ll be hooooooome! Gah, I&#8217;ve missed home.

I&#8217;ll finally get some decent time to work on the thousands of gifts I owe everybody. Brenna&#8230; Britt&#8230; Brenna again&#8230; gravy. Though I must admit, I&#8217;m really looking forward to my scantily-clad hobbits from Megs. Muaha. And upon my return home, my Tori CD copies from Renata. ::hearts:: I drew Death and Delirium! I can pretend they were a gift for you! (I originally wrote that as &#8220;Renata&#8217;s Tori burns&#8221;. That sounds painful.) My love for &#8220;Little Earthquakes&#8221; continues to grow.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.users.drew.edu\/jleto\/endless\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.users.drew.edu\/jleto\/endless\/delirium.jpg\" alt=\"I'm Delirium!\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.users.drew.edu\/jleto\/endless\/\">Which Member of the Endless Are <i>You<\/i>?<\/a><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>So true. I went into the test thinking I&#8217;d get Death, as reading &#8220;The High Cost of Living&#8221; made me think we were rather similar, personality-wise, but from the quiz questions, Delirium clearly won out. Jolly good.<\/p>\n<p>Woah! Dude! I&#8217;m currently in the Business Office at the Cornell Club, fairly close to the front desk. I can hear the bellman talking to my mom on speakerphone, who is up in our room, complaining about the fan. That was surreal. (Later: ha, we got moved to the neighboring room)<\/p>\n<p>And we have tickets for <i>Chicago<\/i> for tomorrow, which is gravy. And of course, though I must say that though it was enjoyable, <i>Thoroughly Modern Millie<\/i> (which I saw just before leaving New York) was slightly disappointing. Most of the audience loved it, but I found myself just sitting in my seat and glowering as they stole idea after idea from <i>Men at Arms<\/i>. The strains of &#8220;I&#8217;ve Seen His Face Before&#8221; have never left the privacy of my own head, and I had no way of ever encountering <i>Millie<\/i>&#8216;s score before, but there she was onstage nonetheless, belting out song whose first few measures (and several words) were nearly identical. &#8220;No way&#8221;, I said to myself, provoking my Aunt Phyllis to look at me strangely, then turn back to the show. Also, the notion of singing briefly in dwarfish (with projected subtitles) in &#8220;My Kind of Town&#8221; suddenly seemed less novel as <i>TMM<\/i>&#8216;s Chinese brothers merrily reprised a song in fluent Mandarin. I seem to have noticed a lot more as a was watching the show, but on the most part, I&#8217;ve forgotten the numerous counts now. Grr, say I. Hiss.<\/p>\n<p>And now I try to catch up with thousands, nay millions, of LJ friend entries. Curse you all! How dare you be so insightful and entertaining! Growl.<\/p>\n<p>Saw &#8220;Signs&#8221; and &#8220;Austin Powers III&#8221; on the same night. Why don&#8217;t movies learn? Aliens are only scary if you <i>never see them<\/i>. Our boy looked like the Grinch. Good gravy.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, dinnertime. G&#8217;bye, all! I&#8217;ll be back soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foom. I am alive! Ta-da!
