In other news, I got an A on my final for Zoology, which gives me an A in the class *and* gives me a 4.0 for the semester, putting me on the Dean's list.
Yes, I am patting myself on the back right now. And I'm going to celebrate by singing my heart out at Gomeroke tonight.

New Year, the Blog Returns
It's only been three years and some change since I posted here. That's not too long, is it? Since I'm still on Palmer's blogroll I thought I'd start blogging here again. That, plus my years of FB'ing has made me stupid. I need to write long form again.
What's new with me? I'm still going to Gomeroke! Was there last night for Happyoke, in fact.
I'm back in school, one semester to finish up at MATC and then on to UW Madison, or Edgewood, not sure which. My kids are getting really old, 16 and 12 already. That is just strange.
Things in life are going really really really well. I'm looking forward to next year, even though there will be a lot of changes to deal with.
Since I am contractually obligated to mention Gomeroke in every post, I have to say that I am really looking forward to doing New Year's Eve All Bar Sing Along with them. It's going to be great!

Ain't No Party LIke A Blogspot Party...
Cuz a Blogspot Party Don't Stop!
Unless the blogger neglects to post anything on the blog.
It's been a slow summer, but seeing as I have 30 days to be out of my apartment, I do believe things are going to be picking up pace any minute now. Lucky for me half of my stuff is still in boxes, so it's just moving stuff around at first. Then onto packing what was unpacked. I kept most of my boxes from the last move as well, so I'm doing well on that count too! Hooray!

Sunday in MKE
Sunday we went to brunch and head back to Madison. I don't have any pictures of the detour around I-94 though.

Currently: Drinking Coffee and Playing Spiderman Monopoly
Oh well, I'm not the best of bloggers lately. But I've been *doing* stuff, so I've been busy.
One thing I did was quit summer school, which makes me pretty happy (although the repercussions may be larger than I thought at first). Our first week of vacation has included bowling trips and a picnic on the Capitol lawn. It's been lovely out too, a nice change from the torrential raininess of a couple of weeks ago.
I do have things to report, so I'll be back with more at some point.

And he's humble too...
Palmer and I at the Reptile Palace Orchestra show atop Monona Terrace Convention Center.
Lunch
I had: Sushi from the cart on the corner of King and Pinckney.
Arch had: Coffee and a ham sandwich*.*(metaphorical).

Beers, Beats, Battlestar Galactica
So I dragged myself out to Gomeroke last night and had a grand time. My dates bailed on me and Palmer had to be up early to travel out of town, so I was on my own. Hesitated on the sign up and found myself near the bottom of the second set - I really *did* try to pace myself (even drank some water, go me!), but I think it's safe to say I was not sober by the time I got up to sing.
Being their anniversary show, there were plenty of performers and audience members who were really revved up about the event, and some great performances. I will definitely be scheduling another Gomeroke night, because it is fun.
It was a good time, people were gracious afterward, and I ended up running into someone that I hadn't seen in a while and bitched about school, which is a nice thing to do every now and again. Got myself a nice cab home and was safe and sound in my bed by 1am watching Battlestar Galactica, which my friend T has been kind enough to addict me to.
Thanks, T!

Dreams
I've been having lots of dreams lately, half-remembered (if that) once I wake.
Vaguely remember being on/watching a British quiz show where "what is longitude" was described very oddly, but it was the right answer.
A few nights ago had another strange dream which I cannot even remember now, but trust me, it was of the same ilk. I woke half remembering something which felt as though it had happened already.
Being able to describe one's dreams well is a talent I fear I lack at the moment.
The dreams themselves have been very vivid, at least.

Gomeroke!
This coming Tuesday is the Gomeroke 4 year anniversary party! I'm planning on getting to the show ($5, starts at 9), we'll see how that pans out.
Gomeroke is, to put it plainly, AWESOME.
Check out the Gomers here (MySpace warning), and their song list (and an explanation of Gomeroke) can be found here.
I'm thinking of "Harden my Heart" by Quarterflash, for my primadonna performance. I don't see the song on the list, but I'll email them beforehand to see if they can do it!

The Dulcinea is Dead
Long Live The Dulcinea!
Yep, Spring time is just around the corner, literally, I feel it licking at me. Unpleasantly. I find the riot of light in spring has a deleterious effect onmy ability to deal with both the inner and outer world.
But after the first rage of LIGHT and GREEN there is a calm, when trees have leaved and birds bred, and I can peek my head up from under the layers of winter hermitage and be a part of the outside world again.
The shades remain drawn, but the windows are open, and the air...the air is SO SWEET. Workmen across the street (one who peppers each sentence with 'fuck' as other people might say 'um') are intermittently making a great deal of noise, and then seeming to disappear, suddenly.
The melancholy Netflix selections (Human Nature, Winter Passing) are just perfect for my not-quite-ready-for-the-world mood today.
I'm trying out new philosophies, ways of thinking of myself my life. "Each day it's own day" is what just occurred to me. Yesterday does not have to be today, and today is not yesterday.

Soon to be a picture post
Yes, soon, this spot will be held by a picture post. My new camera reveals that I am still very much a ham, still love taking self-portraits proving this, and still, IMHO, am totally cute.
So happy Christmas is over, looking forward to New Years Eve (is it New Year's Eve or the way I wrote it first?).
Today I'm pleasantly tired, gently hungover, and grateful that my car did not spin around in circles just now, in the slippery snow.
Ah, winter. Ah, beer (I so am thinking "hair of the dog", but my son has a friend over and I think that would just be wrong...).
So once I get my camera working and pics downloaded, I'll post some pics! Hooray for self-absorption!

The new year approaches
Okay, check it:
I am not a big fan of "the holiday season". In fact, in my head, I tend to think of it as "the dreaded holiday season". That may seem weird. Because things related to Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years are very pleasing to me.
Can I not eat me some pumpkin and pecan pies? Why yes I can. Do I not adore the nog of egg or the wass of ail? Why yes, I do. Is wrapping a pile full of artfully selected gifts not a singular joy? Why I rather think it is.
Was I not rocking the far too early Christmas tunes on the radio this past Friday as I cooked dinner? Did I not catch myself singing a Christmas carol just this morning as I cleaned the kitchen? Yes, constant reader, and yes.
But the whole: "OMG YAY WE'RE SO HAPPY AND PRESENTS ZOMG!!!! YAY!!!!"?
No.
I hate seeing my family and all of my friends (such as they are) are busy and everyone goes out of town. This year old man Schuck and I have some Hell Raising planned though, as long as his Baby Mamma and my Baby Daddy don't renege on their baby parenting duties.
Seriously, I'm looking forward to obsessive exercise, drinking to excess, and reviewing 18 chapters of Spanish so I don't feel like a fish out of water when I get to Spanish 4 in January. Wow, vacation never sounded so good, did it?
