I survived the last week of school and finals (or should I say "final"), drunken senior week, and graduation (with honors!).
Now I'm just chillin'in da hood (Boulder) wif my mommy. We're living in this studio apartment and sleeping in the same bed which is funny because she always used to hate it when I came in after getting scared in the middle of the night. Apparently I'm a lot better to sleep in the same bed with, and *she's* the one doing the honk-shuu-ing.
The only thing of note during Senior week was the infamous Booze Cruise. People were getting super silly and screaming and stuff towards the end and my laptop battery died, but it wasn't as boring as I thought it would be. I wore a silver dress that I found in the donation pile in Kirk - they were going to throw it out, and it was never worn and had a 90 dollar price tag on it! I got lots of compliments and I didn't have to worry about getting booze, river water, or vomit on it.
Oh yeah, and me and Oliver went to a Laura Veirs concert. Here's the funny thing, this is what I thought she looked like. And this is what she looked like in real life (my mom commented "She looks like a soccer mom") Actually she looked cuter than that but nothing like the publicity photos they take of her. She was so adorable and said cute things, and I loved her even though I was supposed to hate her since she went to Carleton. Oh, the opening act was kind of crazy. Liam Flynn, I think? The songs started out fine but then he'd do this crazy looping thing and distorted guitars and screaming...it was actually quite funny. But anyway Laura Veirs was brilliant and she sung a lot of stuff from her new album I hadn't actually heard (if you check me out on Last.fm you'll see that I'm listening to her way too much now) I really liked Pink Light, Nightingale, Drink Deep, and Cast a Hook. I was gonna talk to her on the way out but a stupid indie idiot was all introducing her to his DAD and stuff so I chickened out and left.
My dad and Shaeri came on the Thursday before Sunday graduation - unfortunately my mom got sick and couldn't come *sad meow*. We had a pretty fun time - we went to a tea/coffee shop and saw live music with Oliver and all had dinner together with Oliver's parents at that Thai place. I don't think I've had more photos taken of me in my life!! Thankfully my hair was behaving so I looked pretty good. Oliver's dad is totally old skool (respect!) and he brought a film camera. I got the prints in the mail the other day and uploaded them here along with uploading the few photos I took on the riverboat cruise. Enjoy! And I apologize for the stuff on the scanned photos, apparently our scanner has some dust on it or something -_-
We have been making tons of vegan food here. I bought a cookbook (The Whole Soy Cookbook - deceptively vegan) with my dad that I had stolen a recipe out of before because it looked like it had more stuff in general that I'd like than the Veganomicon. We made curried tofu with mango-pear chutney, and picked spinach out of the garden and put peanut sauce on it (that wasn't in the book, I stole it from the Thai restaurant on Selby). Both were super good. We tried an alfredo recipe that wasn't in the book because it looked interesting (it had tahini in it) but it also had some beans in it which made it weird. It was good but not alfredo-saucish enough. Tonight I made this pizza thing where I took a whole wheat tortilla and put some soy sausage and marinara on it with a few chunks of soy cheese. When they say "it melts" they lie. Big time. I had that shit under a broiler and it only looked a little gushy. Anyway that was pretty good and easy to make.
I'm sure there's more to write about but I am very tired out - I'm not sure why. We're moving into the house on the 28th and the kitties are coming back YAY! More news then. xoxoxo
