It's not a February jumping.

Hey all.  Things here are going along, going along.  It's been good.  This week is the first round of exams in a couple of my classes, I had one Monday and have another on Friday.  I'm definitely behind on reading, I've just been using my time poorly.  Catch up:

1. My friend Waud (Elizabeth Waud) is engaged.  
As of Saturday night, her and Geoff are engaged.  I'm so so so excited for her, but my honest first response was laughter.  Oi.  At least now there is a shift in our group, from the race to be engaged first (between the girls in serious relationships) now to the race to be engaged/married last (the rest of us).  Heehee just kidding...kind of.  She wants to get married in June (so does Anna Caroline).  I am so  glad I am not in this game.  We're taking bets on who is next.  Your votes?

2.  The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus is excellent. 
Go see it.  Hannah came into town Sunday afternoon and stayed a couple of nights.  We saw it last night and I was entranced.  Becky I know you will like it.  It was interesting to think about how the film would have been different if Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell hadn't stepped in to finish after Heath Ledger's death.  All of the actors did really well, except for Verne Troyer...I can only equate him to Jackass.  Tom Waits plays the perfect villain.

3.  Of Montreal, tomorrow night.
They are playing both tomorrow night and Thursday night at the 40 Watt.  I cannot wait.

[Mmm the show was so good.  They played a good mix of new (Skeletal Lamping) and old, and ended with Jackson Five's "I Want You Back".]





Okay I'm tired of numbering things.  Athens is the same- we've had no snow at all, unlike each of your cities.  We are amidst plans of a Spring Break trip to Ft. Lauderdale.  Mmm warmer climates.  Rachel, Happy early Birthday!  I wish so badly that I could see you and celebrate with you.
