Having a Party
That song by Sam Cooke nearly makes me weep with happiness. Nostalgia for something I wasn't even alive for - but really, it's nostalgia for my childhood, when that was 95% of the music I listened to, and everything was simple and exciting and happy and bursting with possibilities.
Not that the present day is anything to scoff at - I'm in the process of getting very excited about next weekend. We are, indeed, having a party. Friday, Saturday, and probably spilling over into Sunday. I'm excited about seeing so many friends, and excited about the live music that will be happening in my friends' freaking place of residence, and even excited about setting up, tearing down, etc. It is certainly bursting with possibilities of every kind. I'm also excited about the goat head mobile I'm making for the venue ceiling. Oh yes I am. I currently have straws, paper clips, and eight little paper goat heads in my bag. Earlier they were all lined up in front of my keyboard, smiling bashfully.
As for this weekend, I have a million things to do. Buying supplies for next weekend, baklava ingredients, browsing the Apple Store for laptops, twinsitting, finding out how my sister's Bahamas wedding went. I hope the weather will be nice enough to play outside, too. I have studying to do for a test next week (yes, a test at work) but it's 55 degrees right now, and in about an hour I am out of here. There's no law that says I have to study at my desk!

I'm buying some party food ingredients tomorrow, along with ingredients for my italian class's last-class party, and the excitement is near to causing me to faint.
But it really is gorgeous out there, and I should be biking, so the fainting will have to be rescheduled.
What are you making for your Italian class party?
It's not so much making as preparing: brie, sliced granny smith apples, and baguette.
There's a little running joke in the class about our teacher having a thing for french women, so my food is a play on that.
One of my classmates had assigned me hummus, but I don't like her, so brie it is. Besides, who died and made her food czarina?
Now don't make light; the last food czarina died a tragic death in a pierogi-related mishap.
I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'll say that the self-appointed food czarina brought this fig/mincey tart thing that she bought at The Italian Store (yes, that's its name, è molto originale), and it was DELICIOUS.
My green apples with brie were very well received, thank you very much. Uyen told me to put lemon juice on the apples, and she was SO right.
