Weekend Blather
There's something really cool about listening to music in other languages. I often get wrapped up in the music and forget to listen to the words when the songs are in English, and having them sung in a language I don't understand kind of takes away that layer of needing to pay attention to what they're saying and lets me just get the feel of the song. I like that. Random musing for the day.
I've been home this weekend, which was really good. Shelley and I started off by stopping by my godmother's house to visit the kittens. It was really good to see Aunt Joanne again, and she has the cutest little country house! The kittens were absolutely adorable. The big ones ran away when we came out, but the tiniest one stayed put and mewed silently at me. It (don't know if it's a boy-kitty or a girl-kitty) let me pet it before it scurried off to find its brothers and sisters. Aunt Joanne said that as soon as we left, the momma came back to feed the kitties, and they were romping and playing, which is what my aunt wanted us to see. Ah well. Timing. =) I guess, though, on Saturday, after they spent the afternoon all snoozing in a pile in the box, Momma and three of the kitties left. Sadness! The tiniest one was still there, and it was scared, so they brought it into the house and are feeding it. Momma hasn't come back all weekend. Poor little thing. =( It needs a home. I've been trying to talk my parents into taking it until I move out, at which point I'd take it with me. I even came up with a cute (if not a little silly) name for it. Heehee.
Yesterday, my mom took me on a belated-back-to-school-shopping trip. Whee! I got much-needed jeans and a couple of new shirts. Oh, and a pair of black pants to usher in. Quite a productive day it was. And we went to Trader Joe's, which I totally love, and stocked up on tasty food. Then last night, Mom, Dad and I went to see Simone. Mom realized that, now that she's getting her Master's, she's a student again! She forgot until after we had the tickets, though. So she'll never have to pay full-price at the movies again. <.g>
And that, for the most part, was that. I made a mix CD, which I'm really liking. The whole reason I made the CD was so that I could have Like I Love You for the car, but it turned into quite a project, with much downloading from Kazaa. Darn thing took me two evenings to finish! But now it's done, and I have new happy music to listen to.
Back to school this afternoon... back to the grind. Much homework to do tonight. Woo. hoo.
