Hanging out with Dena, , really did me well. I had to get out of the house and just see a different face that wouldn't be judging me or upset with me or dying on me. She, her hubby-to-be and our mutual friend Danny had a good time just hanging out and talking. We, somehow, always manage to laugh and laugh and laugh. We also made semi-solid plans for seeing Nightwish in PA and about spending the weekend at Dena's parents' New Jersey home. I can't wait, even though it'll be coupled with the first week of the new semester at good ol' college.

I actually wanted to ask Dena, so I'll do it here before I forget: Do you want to go up to Faire at least ONE weekend this year? Not dressed up or anything. Just to go? I kind of miss it.

Annnnyways. On my way back home I had to stop at the top of their street because an entire family of raccoons attempted to venture forth from a parked car out into the street. Once they saw my headlights they kind of did that raccoon hover, wondering whether to go forward or not for half a second and then they hurried off behind a building. I regret the fact that I couldn't get my camera out fast enough. *shrugs* All well.

Some good news: My sunflowers and my carrots that I planted are coming along nicely, despite the fact that they nearly drowned in one of the freakish storms we've been having.

Some bad news: I'm going to have to work extra hours next week because I plan on buying a wolf pelt from *Zhon. (I blame ~Coontail for telling me. He'll be the scapegoat for why I can't buy my books this upcoming semester). Half of me is slapping myself upside the head saying, 'What the hell are you thinking, you need the money for school and books!!! You're an English EDU major for crying out loud!' The other half is just silently jumping for joy if I can manage to get it. The fact of the matter is that I normally don't buy fur. I think it's cruel if it's a shoot for profit kind of deal. However, *Zhon has told the whole story behind this particular pelt and I'm much more content to own it. I may never get this opportunity again. So, in that regard, it's worth it.

On a side note: Raisinets are incredibly awesome and I fear I am addicted. That and bananas....very odd.

Book Review: "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" by J.K. Rowling. So, basically, it's a spectacular continuation of the first book. Rowling is absolutely uncanny with her way of mixing old ideas with the new. Shelob appears as a new giant spider called Aragog but there are spells nobody has heard of and plants called Mandrakes. The entity of a person living within an old journal. Really very clever. Great for all ages! Clever humor and wit and a wonderful story. Worth every syllable.
