Also “Current Projects”. Not sure what to do with this blog once I get to England…

THEBARNARDSTORE.COM. Yes!

Urgh, Passover. A full week of matzoh sandwiches and macaroons. “Yay.”

Three seders this year, because we are being over-familied: Sunday in CT with Adam’s parents (I will have Ashley’s for the second time in 10 days and as my last hurrah before the fast, yay), Monday at my aunt & uncle’s in Long Island along with 50 others (that one is always pretty fun), and Monday in Brooklyn at my house. At least we’ll get some leftovers out of it!

On a completely separate note, I had a totes religious archaeological experience yesterday. John Hale is my new favorite speaker… he rivals Mike Parker Pearson. What a nice guy. He spoke about the chemistry behind the Delphic Oracle myth. The man found two intersecting geological fault lines under the Temple of Apollo at Delphi which emit trance-inducing gasses! What the hell! I was floored.

So I’m currently working from the Duane Reade on 86th while Adam sees the doctor. His asthma has been pretty bad; let’s hope it’s nothing big. Telecommuting is the bomb-diggity.

Dinner with Nicole and Bryan tonight. :) And I’m pretty sure that Barnard acceptees will get their letters today (that includes my sister–fingers are crossed)! I’ve already written one entry for the Barnard Admissions Beat.

o0… and I am going to be in charge of a new, GUI-based redesign of the Barnard Store Web site. Thinking about chronicling the design process here–more to come soon!

In Branford for the weekend. Saw this year’s BHS show–not as good as last year’s, but nice. Hopefully going to the beach (sans bathing suit, sadface) tomorrow after brunch!

A bit worried about Starbuck being at home without us! He has a bowl of Pedialite with his normal munchies because he hasn’t been feeling well. :(

Our sweet little Starbuck was neutered and microchipped (that one’s for the UK!) today. He’s definitely not feeling like himself. Major sads, as Robyn would say. :(

I’m working on a second-stage design for one of the sites I’m working on for a client, and it’s totally bumming me out. I had the whole thing ready to go and then they decided they wanted a GUI of sorts. So now I’m using WP and some e-commerce plugins, but the design itself will never look like the original HTML-based one, and that’s completely disappointing.

o0, I got my college acceptance yesterday for Oxford. Lady Margaret Hall (aka cheap and far from everything), hope it turns out well. Also hoping to get a Clarendon Fund scholarship so I don’t have to pay for room and board… well, wouldn’t that be nice? ‘twould make for a perfect world, I say!

Cheerio. ;)

Yello there.

I’ve been finishing my tasks at work super-early for the past two days… now I’m just waiting for Wing Night to start around 7.

Should be in the library here doing my personal research… am not…
