Starbucks has sweet graphic design but if you want truly good coffee, look beyond the green aprons there and get thee to Bucer's. Have someone wearing a black apron make you your elixir of wakefulness.

After only managing to get through half of a Starbucks mocha while at home over Thanksgiving break, it was pure home sweet home to get my hands on the Bucer's mocha I have sitting by my laptop at the moment. Or at least the cup that it was in. The coffee inside is long gone now. It's gone, the paper is written and I am on to other things.

snowflakes keep falling on my head

Which says it all. Big, fluffy, fat flakes as thick as feathers after a pillow fight. Before Thanksgiving. Welcome Winter. And long wet tramps in the snow, complete with snowballs, letters from the dean advising against throwing them on Main St. and sledding.

It's been a busy weekend, catching up on all the movie watching that I've been getting behind on this term. Four in three days. Not bad. Just got back from watching "Sweeny Todd" (soon to be on the silver screen starring Johnny Depp) with several musical theater freaks. It was highly satisfactory, and yes, I did shriek at the climax. So I get a little absorbed.... The oddest side effect of the evening was finding my subsequent thoughts coming to me in song instead of your usual monotonal mutterings. Sadly I've been mildly sick, making my audible singing somewhat problematic. This, too, shall pass.

i voted. again.

Because once is not enough. Lest you think otherwise, I am not the scoundrel who would stoop to voting early and often - this time around it was for a school levy, a simple yes or no. And I saw a horse on the way out - a lovey equine which I could not touch, alas. And so I sighed and went home.

It finally got cold. Really cold. Like really, really cold. Like I could see my breath all day cold. But that was alright because I found a wad of cash on the ground walking home from UI. A princely sum of $9.

It's almost Thanksgiving. Fancy that.

*yawn* *blink* *tiredness*

One more week down. And we are all beat. Midterms were this week - Math went pretty well, methinks. My history paper is nearly done, just got the peer reviews back. One sweet thing about my paper is that I used a book that was published in 1907 and I'm pretty sure that I was the first person to ever read it.

Voice continues to be pretty sweet. Definitely the highlight of the week.

I'm tired. It's barely past 8:30 but I am calling it quits.

i voted

But somehow I lost my "I Voted" sticker. *sigh* So now nobody will know that I performed my civic duty at the polls.

Back to the books.
