I've got to make time to focus on these revisions, they will likely take me longer than I think. after the meeting was the Virginia Center for Architecture thing celebrating 50 years of Old and Historic Districts. left half way, was just too tired for all the...http://fyreusjrge.livejournal.com/66700.html CRAM packed- October 24, 2007 went to see Tales of Hoffman the other day with Bucci, David & Pamela. was a pretty funny opera, but as always, I prefer the symphony above all else. yesterday Morgan and I FINALLY made it to see Across the Universe (after spending 3+ hours reading magazines at Barnes & Noble because I made us very late to the 7ish movie so we waited until the 10ish one). I enjoyed the choreography and cinematography, and of course the character who played Jude was beauuuutiful. I'd give it an A+ for...http://fyreusjrge.livejournal.com/66317.html too much frog eating is unhealthy- October 20, 2007 supposed to have my fundraising report ready to present to the Board tomorrow morning. I'll be ready, but FIRST Morgan and I have to make a short trip to Weems to celebrate the marriage of Drew's brother. it's a good thing I have a laptop and know a LOT about the subject I'm presenting on tomorrow, or procrastination might actually bite me in the butt for once. (ha)http://fyreusjrge.livejournal.com/66215.html update- October 19, 2007 attended Celia Broadus's Internal Controls course yesterday and it reignited my interest in going into accountinginternal controls. I looked through a CPA study guide yesterday, and it looks pretty rigorous, but I'm not going to let that scare me away from trying. I am planning to enter J. Sargeant Reynolds in summer 2008 to catch up on some introductory accounting classes, then I hope to apply to and attend the 1-yr master's program at W&M. we'll see how that plays out (particularly since I...http://fyreusjrge.livejournal.com/65852.html to do- October 16, 2007 class at 4 p.m. drinks later. what a life.http://fyreusjrge.livejournal.com/65776.html stuff everywhere- October 15, 2007 yesterday I rode down to Urbanna to pick up some things from mom and Bob. now Morgan and I have so much arranging to do that I don't even know where to begin. but, it's good, because if people come over, they may actually have a place to sit down now! tried to make it to the folk festival this weekend. we were technically successful, although we were only there long enough to take a quick tour around the island before deciding we were hungry and the crowd was too massive to stay. had a most...http://fyreusjrge.livejournal.com/65454.html blog action day- October 14, 2007 I was watching CNN news this morning while eating my oatmeal and they talked for a second about blog action day (which you can read about here: blogactionday.org) and then the guy was like, "but the environment is not the only issue in the world" and clicked over to an "incident report" webpage that monitors terrorist attacks. oh my god! all I have to say is that there is no way anybody could ever convince me that our news is not biased andor controlled by the government. those motherfuckers.http://fyreusjrge.livejournal.com/65072.html on being a home-owner- October 12, 2007 Morgan and I have been making some progress with our "green" goals. one of the first projects we set out to complete when we moved in was to get some insulation behind the walls. now that that's done, we're on to other things: changing the old standard light bulbs to compact fluorescents, installing pipe insulation on the water heater to save energy, using only recycledenvironmentally friendly household products from companies like Seventh Generation (and the like), installing motion detection..http://fyreusjrge.livejournal.com/64970.html |
