Oh dear readers I have missed you this week. Okay, I haven't missed you all that much because I have been busy. I have done many a lovely and relaxing thing during the break with my parents. It will be my last family vacation while still living at home. I'm not quite sure what to think of this- it feels strange. A little sad, a little nostalgic. Mostly happy, though, as it was a wonderful vacation. We did all kinds of awesome stuff, like touring the College of William & Mary (which I simply MUST attend), shopping, swimming in a heated pool, going to the wonderfully gaudy Busch Gardens Christmastown, and walking the DoG (that's W&M slang for the mile-long Duke of Glouchester Street). Also, there was snow. Which was amazing.
I returned home on Christmas. It was raining the whole way home, or in the words of Luke Copeland by way of his brother, it was warm snowing. I made my mother play every CD I got for Christmas (there are 17) in the car. At home, we had our little prepackaged Christmas dinner. It was all quite quaint.
I don't have anything to make you think today, but I do have a few suggestions. One: see the film Avatar. It is beyond epic. Two: if you like French history or feminism, read Liberty by Lucy Moore. I'm in the midst of it now, and I find it immensely entertaining and interesting; it's nonfiction written like a novel, the story of the lives of several women from different walks of life before, during, and post the French Revolution. And three: listen to the album Dear Catastrophe Waitress by Belle & Sebastian. It's a few years old, and you've likely been exposed to it already, but it is so wonderful that I feel the need to implore you to hear it.
That is all, lovely readers. Until next time!
