Still in Ark-La-Tex

That's what they call it here. I guess cause it's right on the border of the three states. It's not so bad, but it's freakin'* hot!!!! I'm trying to stay inside as much as possible, although Andrew made me jog yesterday. Blech! I did try hard not to wimp out, but by the end, I was mostly walking cause I was getting a major headache.

I'm back in the coffee shop again. Maybe I oughta put in an application or something, since I'm here so much. :) It's really funny listening to people come in and ask for stuff, and be totally confused about espresso drinks (what is the difference between a cappucino and a latte? Do you know? I do, but most people don't). It's cute. I'm not making fun of the espresso-challenged. You'll learn. But stop drinking those horrible frozen things with tons of whipped cream, for Yemaya's sake! (See. I know other names of gods than what I listed earlier!!) (Unless of course you're skinny as a rail. Then have two of them, and eat a sandwich, too. You can afford the calories).

I'm trying really hard to figure out how to word my dissertation introduction so that I am making my argument clear. I think I might have something right now that will do it-- it's been sorta vague so far, but I got an idea while I was half-napping a little bit ago. So this is just a short "I'm still here" kind of post. I answered some questions and issues people raised in the comments to the bee post (which some of you really liked! I'm happy! I like getting comments!!)

Now I need to get to writin' 'bout witches. :)


*for adventures in "spell check"-- it wants to change "freakin'" to foreskin. Funny suggestion, that. :)
