Feb. 4th, 2011 11:00 pmAnother Friday, another easy day for me to rest my brain. I really should do more rough drafts but I can’t bring myself to think.
Mama and I cleaned out my room of all the clutter by finally shoveling all my boxes of kitchen stuff into my grandmother’s old closet in my room. When I moved back home, that closet was full of my grandmother’s clothes and permanently locked. Mama just could not bring herself to empty it even so many years after my grandmother’s death. Finally, last year we did empty it. But only today we made it my closet. And my room looks was big and empty with no papers and boxes and books on the floor. All this empty space is actually really weird. I was very amused when Papa got home that it took him a few minutes of talking to me to even notice it and only when I was laughing at his observation powers. It is very very noticeable.
Last article in January National Geographic was on Cahokia, the first North American city in Illinois built by Native Americans from 1000 to 1300. As the article points now, not many people really know about this Mississippi culture that left gigantic dirt piles and towers. It was very interesting and new.
I cross stitched as I watching “Who DO You Think You Are?” This week it was about Vanessa Williams. As I love genealogy and archives and history, I enjoy this show. And thankfully the editing this year was much better – there was much less recap and a lot more connections to the history of the period.
The Daily Show is back on Hulu. That is great news for me as I can watch the show more again. Comedy Central’s buffering always sucks. Jon Stewart’s discussion of the congress’ new ‘definition’ of rape in their ‘no federal funding for abortion’ bill was mocked so well.
Cross stitch: light yellow and green for the cube.
