i should be: working on my thesis.

currently, i am: avoiding what i should be doing.

instead, i will round up the troops (all two of them) and head to blockbuster. no, not to get a movie-- you know me better than that. we will be getting wonka bars to make invitations to abbey's wwatcf party set for this saturday. chocolate fondue, oh how i don't need you, but here i come. pin-the-tail-on-augustus, you wonder... just you wait.

so i didn't get sick-sick over the weekend, but i did get sick from taking too much over the counter medicine. as in wake-you-up-at-430am-you'll-be-sorry-if-you-stay-in-bed sick. i don't know, too much acetometaphin? or cold-eeze? it was less than desirable.

but i'll spare you the details.

galway kinnell is speaking at this very moment at plymouth congregational church in downtown mpls. same place we saw ted kooser, poet laureate. but, we've got other family and kid things to do, so i figured we shouldn't push it after i figured we should. it was one of those great last minute ideas that ended up lost. another poet on another day i guess. afterall, we've drug abbey to lawrence ferlenghetti at the u of m (when she was too young and got impatient with us-- do you blame her? can a little little kid really sit still through a long poetry reading? there was bilingual poetry by some other people first) and then ted kooser when he came last year. galway can wait...

you can check out gk here. it would be a great idea...
