melissa and i checked out the rocket craft show and punk rock flea market. found a cute onesie for the new nephew and a sweet necklace for myself at the craft show. the flea market was a big bust.....most of the people there were WAY younger than me - even mel was like "holy crap, i feel old here" and she's 23.....it was a bunch of crafty things i could make myself or old crap people were just trying to get rid of. but then we headed to south street souvlaki for greek yumminess. overall, a fun day.
but now i have a ton of crap to get done for class....the last one is thursday. FRIGGIN' FINALLY! it really is surreal that i won't have to take the hour public transportation commute to rosemont every week, have homework to do at the shows, or worry about coming up with a piece of writing on a deadline. i just hope not having a deadline won't turn me into a slacker about my writing. this is the time that i have to step up and get my shit together....to make progress towards being a true writer, to be where i know i can and should be. and to start sending my stuff out and getting into lit journals. the ultimate goal is to have at least one book published, but i know that won't happen any time soon, so i'm not pressuring myself over that (yet).
rant for the day: stories and ancedotes about celebrity lives is NOT NEWS....gossip and innuendo, yes. but it's not news. news is what bush is doing (or not doing). news is global warming and how the earth is retaliating. news is mayor street not doing anything to bring real progress to philly (yeah, the city-wide wifi thing is cool, but what about affordable housing, the homeless, better public schools, the murder rate and stopping urban flight and blight). news should not be defined as nick and jessica's divorce, spreading unnecessary panic about the bird flu, or terrell owens acting like a child. geraldo disgusts me no end and is on my list of people to tell off when i meet them.
current mood: mischievous
current song: "can't get you out of my mind" by aqualung (i have a serious addiction to this song lately)
