the scriptorium

Sunday, August 20, 2006

Well, it doesn't seem like I'm doing much good on my "resolution" to post more often. Life just has a way of getting in the way, out of hand, however you want to put it. I've been spending this weekend so far trying to get ready for school, which starts tomorrow. I feel woefully unprepared for this semester. I only remembered on Friday that I never got a parking permit arranged, so I finally did that online yesterday. But now my books are ordered (the ones I know about), the school supplies are bought (the ones I know about), and most of the dirty, nasty cleaning jobs that I've been putting off all summer are done.

This weekend is the Woodland Art Fair, a tradition for me every year. I go to get inspiration, talk to the vendors, people watch, take some photos, and maybe even buy something. I was all ready to go yesterday when it started raining like a hurricane or something, and continued most of the afternoon. I was rather philosophical about it, thinking, "Oh, well, there's always tomorrow." So I did chores and tried to finish a book that I've been reading. Well, I was wakened just now by another big rainstorm. I wonder if the artists are even going to try setting up today, that is if it ever stops raining enough to do so. What a mudpit it could be! I guess they (and I) will just have to play it by ear...

In other news, my friend Brian has posted for the first time in about six months. He has listed his Top 10 Albums for us, inspired by me, no doubt. :^) He's always been rather sproradic about posting, to say the least, but always has something good to say when he finally does post. He's had a pretty good reason for the 6 month delay, though--he's been courting. He's married now, you know, to a lovely girl named Paula. I think they'll be very happy together...
