...the elation that comes with seeing a furniture delivery guy stopping outside your house. and only 1.5 hours beyond the end of the 4-hour window for delivery. on the 3rd official attempt to deliver the furniture. 14 days of floor sleeping no more! scratch one more from the hordes of the impoverished out there who bed on straw or mats or under the stars on the savannah (actually, that one sounds good! sign me up!) progress has come to bryan, texas. and i answered the door. for a nice queen-sized sleigh bed, accompanying chest of drawers, side table, and portrait mirror. the extravagence and indulgence of all this! i'm so happy.
and did i mention the monkey chest? that's right!
i may need eugene to drag me out of my room from now on.
sole downer of the day (apart from the necessity of sitting through 3 delivery periods before finally getting the stuff delivered): the room is a bit narrow for all the furniture. ergo, there is no room for a desk. i think.
finally: bonus points to my history lecture and lector today. you know you've stumbled across a truly formidable mind when a professor paints a 1.5 hour portrait of the rise and ontology of geography as an academic discipline (not my word, 2006) with scarcely a glance at their notes. the lecture took us to dizzying heights, bringing in long-dead (???) philosophers like some sort of intellectual cameo appearance, boiling down words to their roots, both greek and familiar, stirring in an au jus of wit, and bringing it all together in literally the last minute of class. it was crazy. my only thought after: "we need him on our bar quiz team."
wednesday's dinner (as euge slowly goes crazy over a publishing deadline): pepperoni pizza with sliced carrots and celery.
