i'm still around

so i'm still alive. i'm taking my first graduate class and i have about 7,000,000 hours of reading each week. i got an "A" on my first paper, so i'm feeling pretty good about that. i have another one due on monday, so i hope to return to civilization shortly after that.

i've been off of flickr and blogger for so long both asked me to log in again and i forgot my passwords. that was annoying.

here is a very quick update.
madison wears her new hat...(recap...i made it in august and her mom gave me this pic weeks and weeks ago)

also, though i'm trying to do the freegan thing (slowly) i did buy a new dresser to replace my old one. that kind of defeats the idea, i know, but here's my logic...this new dresser is smaller and therefore i am forced to go through my clothes again and dispose of stuff i won't wear anymore. plus, it's shorter than the old one so i can hang things over it and get some closet space back, meaning my clothes aren't squished anymore and i can again go through and get rid of stuff. i did both of these purgings on monday night and i feel pretty good about it. i have two bags of donations, and i might have some more by next week. here it is...it's a malm by ikea.
or maybe it's a bluurg or a vyorn or heefen or whatever.

i put the other dresser on freecycle and i have found a new home for it already. there's the freegan sprirt!
