My dream garmet!

what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this

There is a tool kilt pictured on the studio 360 web site...it looks like the best skirt EVER!
Spending yet another day with Samantha and Jake...Jake is home with an ear infection. they are being kind of mellow which is good because I am trying to get the three things done that I didn't get done yesterday. (transcripts, cleaning, skirt.)

The transcripts are turning out to be more complicated that expected because osu is saying i owe them money and i can't just pay them i have to pay the ohio attorney general who is not answering the phone...arrgh...sigh...argh!

In other news, I can totally see why house wives tend to gain weight. It is very easy to eat and eat and eat when trapped in the apartment. Usually Harmony's friend Sarah comes over and gives me a break. I'm not sure if she's coming today or not. It is very cold so I can see why she might want to stay in.

Women in american politics part deux

Happy Valentines Day

Its offically February and I'm feeling 1, 000 times better now since my visit to Harlem Hospital. Watching Samantha and Jake and listening to studio 360...hoping to get three things done...order transcripts...clean my apartment...and finish the skirt I started.

Blessing Marima the teacher of my CS2 class let me take home a copy on my laptop. I haven't really done much with it yet but I'm hoping to use it to put together the 20 slides I need for the CCNY MFA application. Actually now that I think about it it might be better just to take 35mm slides than try to convert the digital...hmmm...well see how that goes. Seems sweetly archaic(sp?) somehow.

All this time with Sam and Jake is exhausting (exasperating). The big challange is not to get frustrated and angry with them. I think I am moving faster in the free time I do have and I am spending almost no money since I eat over here.

A friend asked me to do some research about american women in politics and i started a list of the few women i found mentioned in Eyes of theNation...here is the partial list:

Phillis Wheatley
Hannah Lewis
Juliann Jane Tillman
Charlotte Cushman
Mary Cassatt
Lillian Gish
Sara Iredell
Susan B. Anthony
Mary S. Anthony
Anna H. Shaw
Dorthea Lynde Dix
Elizabeth Boynton Harbert
Martha C. Wright
Jean Brooks Greenleaf
Julia Ward Howe
Lucy Stone
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Lucretia Mott
Mabel Potter Daggett
Louise Hall
Susan Fitzgerald

In other news...the people at the Colbert Report e-mailed me to say I can go see a taping in March...wooo-hoo!
