Well, operation speed bird never got off the ground because Olson couldn't get her ever-loving ass out of bed. I even bought a new outfit for the occasion - a flecked grey v-neck cable knit sweater from Old Navy. I looked so good, I could be one of the Old Navy carolers in New York this Christmas:

Okay, that took up some visual space. Now, what's happening in my life? Well, the semester's almost over. I have one more eight page paper to do and some serious revisions on another paper.

There's also going to be a piece by some lesser known composer - Wolfgang something or other. I'm sure it will be real cute. I'm going to join a gym this weekend so I don't get fat(ter) this Christmas like I usually do. I get so lazy here at school. If I start a rigorous plan of exercise, I too may have a chance to be Mount Rose's next Miss Teen Princess American, just like Becky Leeman.
