Ha.

Instead of doing my homework this afternoon, I made applesauce. And It is damn good. So there! Take that snobby professors! (I'm a DOCTOR cus I went to school for 50 years, so college kids can ADORE me while I destroy their youth, just as my professors did to me back in 1857! mwahahahahahahahaha!!!!) 

So yeah. I am gonna drop out of school and become Martha Stewart when I grow up. Because she knows that making applesauce is waaay more important than writing haikus. In Italian. 

Ahh!

I almost forgot about YTW! Mainly because I keep forgetting what day it is the week. But just one more day and it is the glorious weekend!!!  

Don't Push Your Luck

Today was incredibly warm for this time of year in Michigan. It was a wonderful day for weather! I put on a skirt, a sweater, and fall ankle boots and skipped about campus all day in the crunchy leaves. It was really pleasant. However, I wanted to yell at all the people I saw with their winter boots, hats, scarves, and Northfaces zipped to their chins. Don't they know that they have to enjoy this weather while it lasts? Soon (in a few days, maybe hours) the sun will go away and forget about Michigan till April. I believe that by dressing that way they are sending out the message that they are ready for winter. I'm not saying that they should go back to sandals (see previous clothing rant) but really they could wear fall attire for a little longer. The season is so short, and it needs to be treated properly! 

Sunday Afternoon

I don't even bother turning on the food network anymore. I can't even bring myself to capitalize its name. Serves them right. I just hope that somehow, they know that they are being punished with improper grammar. Take that, evil TV corporation! Until they let me know what has happened to my beloved Brian Boitano, they shall be disgraced with lower case letters. 

So I have been thinking lately that I should change the title of my blog. With the exception of YTW, my entries tend to be pure rant, rather than small thoughts. It cannot be helped. There is just something therapeutic about sending rants out in cyberspace where someone else may read them and agree. (And I don't need anyone to remind me about how unlikely it is that the legions of Brian Boitano fans are flocking to my blog to see what I have to say on the matter.)

Let me post a little non ranting for once. This weekend there was a renaissance fair (faire?) on campus. I only had time to quickly walk through it, but it was fun nonetheless. I wish 

I had more time (and money) to spend there before they leave. There is just something about those fairs that make 

them so much fun. Maybe the air of sillyness that I seem to associate with men who dress like a cross between King 

Arthur and Jack Sparrow. Heh heh...

YTW

I have been on a major David Bowie kick lately. I don't think it will be going away anytime soon...

Right now this is my favorite video to watch. It is a great song and he is so young in this video! I also think it is funny how crooked his teeth were. Now they are perfectly straight. I wonder how that happened. Hmmmm...

Seasonal

Ahh, fall in west Michigan. The leaves are starting to change, the geese are migrating, the air is crisp, and the long quest to stay warm and dry in foul weather has begun. The transition from warm weather to freezing is very short here. Cute fall jackets and skirts with boots? Yeah, you can wear those items for about 3 days before having to switch to a coat and many, many layers. And the freezing weather sticks around till the end of March. Oh well, it is a good thing I like snow. 

But what I don't understand is when I see people (usually, but not always girls) bundled up, complete with hat, scarf, gloves, jacket, pants, and looking rather cozy, except for the sandals on their feet. And I see this a lot. It is almost like an insult to nature. And fashion. Like wearing Uggs with shorts (or wearing Uggs at all). But seriously people, You are going to bundle your body up but leave your feet quite literally, out in the cold? And it hasn't been just cold, it has been rainy too. You can't really expect to go long in west Michigan without some precipitation. 

I just hope that these people wise up and start wearing some proper fall shoes. 

YTW

Enjoy :)
