I've been struggling all day with a sinus-ey, cold-ey, headachey thing, and am temporarily worthless. I was going to go to a horse show tomorrow, but I may not if my head still feels like dead weight. Fortunately, I did my class reading and homework early, so I can afford a day or so of doing nothing. (Update: my writing portfolio was accepted, which means I'm a full degree candidate. Yay! I have a research paper due at the end of the month for my current class, and then I start a screenwriting class in October. Yay too!)
To medicate and cheer myself, I've consumed a hell of a lot of tea, and I made a double batch of spicy noodles to clear my sinuses. I also found a cute book called Sorcery and Cecilia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot. It reminds me of Jane Austen's teenage writings.
I've also been reading Stephen Fry's first blog entry, and what a debut it is - all about iphone killers and written with his expansive good humor. Sick as I am, I still managed to get the washpot joke (I read his autobiography). I think I'm going to use his Ode Less Travelled as supplemental reading when I take the poetry writing class (I'm actually dreading that class - I love reading poetry, but I have little desire to write it). If you haven't seen Wilde, you should; it's a beautiful film. Fry's portrayal is amazing. The scenes with the kids are cute, and the prison scenes near the end made me cry.
Right. Another helping of spicy noodles.
