things which are good.
Y'all may have already heard of it, but this, omg: First lesbian couple get first kiss at Navy homecoming. They are so cute! And this is just generally pretty damn awesome.
Today I baked a cranberry buckle, which looks really good, so hopefully it turned out well too.
I renewed my driver's license! And got really worried I was flunking the vision test, because I have a lazy eye (apparently). Also...the vision test thingy needs to be lower, because I was standing on my tiptoes just to put my forehead against the bar. Should have worn heels today, seriously. But the license is renewed; hopefully the new one will arrive before I fly back to New Orleans.
My mother bought me boots (two pairs! riding boots and ankle boots) and they're really comfortable. Well, the ankle boots, anyway (flat, with a seriously good tread); I can't wear the riding boots because I don't have any pants narrow enough to tuck them in).
Thrifting success! Two long wool skirts (in about the calf-length zone), one of which is 100% wool and is from the Pendleton Woollen Mills, so under normal circumstances, probably in the $150 range (so not bad for $3.99, even with one small hole), and two 100% wool sweaters. So I'm happy, although I have to figure out how to handwash the sweaters. (Can't be that hard, right? Since I don't want to dry clean them.)
Library trip today -- a lot of books came out this past season that I want, but my library hasn't got them in yet, so I'll probably end up buying them later, but I got a few things and I've got enough books at home I need to read through anyway.
Aside from my mysterious Greek grade, I did get A's in Chaucer and Latin, and an A- in Greek Art & Archaeology.
The current chapter is Dust is going well, and I suspect I'm going to reach my preferred wordcount instead of falling short the way I've done on a lot of the Dust II chapters. (I prefer my chapters to be at least 7K, but I think they've been closer to 5K or 6K recently.)
I found my Space: Above and Beyond DVDs.
Hobbit trailer. (I am ready to buy the soundtrack already!) Borgias season 2 trailer. (I really need to watch the S1 finale.) Game of Thrones season 2 trailer. (Listen for the three hornblasts -- Others!)
