A list | 1 August 2009

• Today I had my hair cut very short, shorter than I have ever had it before. It’s liberating to look boyish. Yes, I’m donating the 17 inches that were chopped off to people who make wigs for cancer victims.
• I turned twenty-five a few days ago. I’m almost old enough now to be unashamed of being so young.
• We bought a condo and will be moving in September. I don’t think I could overstate how excited I am about this, if only because there are so many ways we could arrange the furniture.
• We celebrated our three-year wedding anniversary with what is now a tradition of eating and drinking ourselves into a stupor.
• I’m taking a Shakespeare course this summer wherein one of our assignments was putting together and acting a 10-minute scene from one of the plays. My three-woman group did Measure for Measure, and I played Angelo. It was actually pretty fun — not the merciless torture I expected acting to be.
• I’ve had classes two nights a week non-stop since January. My one-month break starts next Thursday night around 9pm, a couple days after which we’re off to a cottage for a week of shenanigans with my extended family.
• Only then will I be able to start reading Thomas Pynchon’s new novel Inherent Vice, which I managed to buy early from a release date–defying bookstore, and will also try to read other novels to make up for more or less ignoring them wholesale for months, given a certain lack of free time.

P.S. In case you don’t know this already, you can follow me on Twitter, see my sadly infrequent photos on Flickr, and read Scott’s version of events on erasing.org and his Twitter.
