Omnifarious: June 2006 Archives

I'm in a strange mood today. I need to gather myself and get to school so I can meet with my group for our ethics presentation. I also have to finish writing my book review which I'm having a hard time with...I don't even know why because I absolutely loved the book I read! I think we have 'til midnight to get that done though...

I'm also sitting here thinking that I miss singing in choir. I have no idea where that came from either. Sometimes I miss playing in band too but there's absolutely no way I have time to join either a band or a choir. Maybe it's just because I keep thinking about all the things I want to do and how I never have time to do those things. I told Alex I wanted to go to Homecoming this year so I can get my choir fix this fall with the Alumni Choir but it'll be a quick fix. We went to Homecoming two years ago and it was pretty lame compared to other years. I suspect it was because they banned beer on "the hill"...at any rate there was nobody there...but we still had fun visiting with our friends.

I haven't responded to an email yet about getting a mailing list for the orchestra so they can send out brochures...she also said they aren't putting together the brochures until August, I should really do that next week but knowing me I'm probably going to procrastinate. I might work on it when I'm in Illinois next weekend. I should ask for a copy of the brochure so I can start working on their website sometime too...I missed the last board meeting for the season because I was working so I have no idea what's going on.

There's so much crap floating around in my head right now I just don't know what to do next! Maybe that's why I'm having trouble with this book review...I'm reviewing Ambient Findability by Peter Morville...basically a testament to how there's too much information out there and how we need to be better equipped to navigate through it all. This is my life!

Last night I went to visit my dad in Waterville. It was nice to see him again, I'm terrible about visiting my family, I honestly probably visited more when I lived in Wisconsin and not 45 minutes away in Ann Arbor. My purpose for visiting was to go through some old photos I knew my dad had and take them so I could eventually scan and organize them...I'm not quite sure when I'll have time for this but it's on my to do list. My dad is moving and I didn't want him to throw the pictures away and I didn't necessarily want him to throw those into storage either. I liked going through the old pictures, my dad found a few that he wanted to keep too, but it was kind of bittersweet. He's moving from Toledo to Las Vegas...it's sad to me that he'll be so far away but it's also sad that he's selling the house I grew up in. I get sentimentally attached to things...hence wanting the pictures I guess. I can't wait to really go through them, organize them and share them with my family though.
