Internet-less...

Blogging opportunities have been thin on the ground due to the lack of internet access at my house. It's a long story that involved my flatmate Harry Potter and me taking a stand. Thank goodness I have my iPod for the necessities, like checking March Madness scores and email, but other stuff, like my gossip blog obsession, has suffered. Luckily, there's a very cute coffee shop up the road and I am making the most of it.

I've been in a major nesting mood and trying to make my home look as lovely as possible without spending too much of the money bookmarked for Europe. I am also beginning to throw out stuff in anticipation of my move in 11 months. I don't want to be stuck cleaning out the entire apartment in the space of a couple weeks so I'm going to start mailing stuff home in November and therefore avoid a lot of stress.

Yes, yes, it's nearly a year until I move (or 344 days to be exact) but I am SO EXCITED to finally move home to Seattle that I am doing stuff for it already.

Then there's the matter of my trip this summer to Europe that I cannot stop thinking about. Paris! London! Norway! Belgium! It's getting hard to keep my mind in the present, which is perhaps why I am devoting so much energy to making the home nice. Keep myself grounded or something.

I'm still in shock over Nova. I mean, it would have been a miracle of they made it through Kansas, but it was still a crushing blow. I've been wondering where you've been. It's always a bright spot in my day when I randomly catch a chat with you on gmail. Why were you referring to J-dog (aka your roommate) as Harry Potter?

The one thing that I hate about the iPhone is that self editing is virtually imposible on that little tiny screen. My previous post should have read "it would have been a miracle IF they made it through TO Kansas" (presumptive winner of the tournament). Sadly, my bracket has been done for practically since day one. I couldn't bet against Lehigh in the first round. This is the first time I've actually had an alma mater in it.

Ack! I step away for one day, and everything is upside down. Apparently, Kansas lost. I had to step away from everything for a day. After watching the St. Mary's/Nova debacle, I put a moratorium on obsessively watching CBS. My bracket is a MESS. None of my Final Four picks are still in it.
