cold-front

Today was really cold. :( The weather has been so teasing, lately, first warm, then hot, then cold! Truly cold! See, I have on my shapeless warmish clothing... Usually I'm all gray - gray tee, gray sweatshirt, gray leggings, gray sweat pants. That's the usual uniform on cold days. 

This is a lifestyle blog, right? Well, here's a lifestyle fact about moi. I hate cutting my nails. It gives me the creeps - my finger tips are all sensitive and give me chills for a whole day after I clip them. So I tend to wait too long. This time, the quilting needle I use on my blanket actually put a groove in what my mother calls my "claw."

Breakfast was yummy this morning. Flat egg on British muffins. We always called them English muffins, but Trader Joe's things they are British. *shrug* Oh oh oh, also, this green juice from Trader Joe's, which is really just spirulina and a bunch of fruits. It is so good!

I have a confession. I have never had to write an essay before. Not a proper one, anyway. This is the first proper essay I have had to write, and I think it's okay. Compares and contrasts Rochester from Jane Eyre and Conroy from "The Dead" to a Byronic hero. For anyone who does know what a Byronic hero is: A Byronic hero is a type of hero based on Lord Byron and the protagonists of some of his works. This type of character usually suffers from a dark, mysterious past, has issues with morality, is arrogant and moody, and yet somehow ridiculously attractive. :) The best kind. Some argue that the Doctor (of Doctor Who) is a Byronic hero. Kind of lacks the arrogance, though, don't you think?

That's a watercolor that I really need to finish. I quite like it now, though at the time I felt that the tentacles looked like vomit. They are still a bit shady, but I think with some help, I could make it work...

Quinn kept me company while I did homework today, working on a big drawing of the Invisible Man. He's listening to the book, by H.G. Wells. 

Lunch... salad & Italian sausage. Dinner: Oatmeal and cinnaraisin toast!

Oh, and I am very interested in reading this book! Mom got it from the library, and it is chock full of pictures and interviews... Very cool.

My goal is to be finished with both of my last exams by tomorrow night. That means half a World Lit exam and some last minute edits to my essay. Hehehehehe. *giddy*
