i spoke too soon.

well, it's the last day of my favorite month. it was a pretty good month. i mean, there was a lot of crying involved but i moved and that's tough. other than the process of moving and having to leave people i love and miss, this october has been pretty good. i assume that patrick (the other october=favorite monther) will concur. +1 for october 2008. thanks!

i also feel it necessary to report that my grandparents bought me some uggs and i really like them. first of all, they are black and tall and there is no visible fur. i do not plan to wear them over my sweatpants or while wearing a tube top. i'm sure you were very worried. but seriously, how do people wear uggs in the summer? i was wearing them in 40 degree weather and my feet were sweating. SO anyway, yes. i have some uggs. yes, i do wear them. yes, they are insanely comfortable. judge quietly.

e-mail from my grandpa:

Did you hear about the guy who had a large collection of vinyl records that included quite a few of Baroque music?

Someone told him that if you coated the records with Vicks Vaporub that would fill in all the scratches an the record would sound like it did when it was new. Since he had quite few records he hired a kid to coat them for him. The kid asked for final instructions before he started on the project. The guy said, 'If it ain't Baroque, don't Vicks it!"
