Shiny!

Ah, Cairo, land of bellydance costumes...



That's my "Sharene" costume (the name of Maureen O'Hara's character in "Sinbad the Sailor," lol), and I love it. Love, love, love.

So, I pretty much spent today focusing very hard on being chill- anyone who spoke to me last night knows that I was a little... *ahem* stressed out... (kind of a huge understatement)... by a certain situation which shall not be mentioned. It's a little hard to focus on relaxing- it's a bit of an oxymoron. I did my best, however, and was helped by an overwhelming exhaustion, which a venti latte only slightly helped with. Despite an almost pleasant sleepyness, I had fun going to ceramics and making round forms and hanging out with Ian (my new ceramics buddy, since Ryan is MIA). Oh yeah, and "Awesome Shino" was named that because everyone hated it. Why? Because it's a hideously boring gray. Kurt, you will rot for that one :-P (j/k, of course, I don't actually want my prof to rot. He's cool, he donated something to the Camp Sparky silent auction today. Hurrah! Oh, and double hurrah, because he complimented my pot AND my necklace! This is exciting because thus far this semester Kurt has implemented a policy of ignoring my very existence. Kinda was making me nervous about grading.)

oh, so I'm really excited because I'm going to have coffee with Mel a week from tomorrow! Melanor forever! Plus, it'll be neat going to the 3 Roots Cafe- I've still not gone there despite about a million people telling me that I should go with them at some point.
