It's shaping up to be a pretty day, although still wretchedly cold. Fourteen degrees F at 9:00 a.m. Brrr. Acorss the way, there's a man in coveralls walking on the roof of Malott Hall. I imagine it's absolutely miserable up there. I'm so glad to have a desk job. Say what you like about being chained to a eight-to-five, I don't mind it that much. I'd rather not have to be here at all, but under current circumstances, I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Before I forget, I just got the notice that we're scheduled to dance at Aladdin Café Thursday, February 24. I'll post again a couple days before the gig. I wish I had a new costume ready. I'm sick to death of looking at all my current ones.
I so badly want is a week off work where I can honest-to-god unpack my sewing room and get started making stuff again. I have a wedding to attend in a couple weeks and since it's semi-formal, I have absoultely nothing to wear. I'd love to make myself a killer little cheongsam out of some of the lovely brocades I've been seeing, but 1) no time 2) I don't know where half my notions are, including my shears, pins, and thread. It's very frustrating. I only need a day to whip up a cheongsam, but I need probably two eight-hour days to get the sewing area useable.
I need twice as much time and half as many things to do. So, what's new?

applyingtograd. I think I'm going to lurk for a while. It would be interesting to know what kind of questions applicants are asking each other. I know KU isn't MIT or Harvard, but I wonder if they'd be interested in hearing from someone on the other side of the application process.
