freedom!

after spending all of today working on my thesis...i am 96% done. the other 4% will be completed after my thesis readers make their final edits/comments and it goes to the binding stage. so after spending almost 10+ hours sitting in my apartment, i had to go and do something fun. i finally got to see hot fuzz. it's been so long since i've seen or read anything british that i almost forgot why i love british humor. from the makers of shaun of the dead comes this fantastically wacky spoof on the whole cop movie/action genre. loved it. love those crazy brits.

must listen to:
  • amy winehouse
  • the soundtrack to wicked
  • jon mclaughlin
  • ray lamontagne
must see:
  • wicked the musical
  • hot fuzz
must read:
  • i'll let you know...now that my thesis is basically done, i can read for fun again!
must do:
  • open up my sewing machine!
  • and go to magic mountain...or some other amusement park equivalent
  • graduate in 4 weeks
  • finish up my first year of teaching in 6 weeks - so looking forward to this
  • go home for a little bit

Wait?! Magic Mountain's still OPEN???!!!! i want to go!
BTW, you should come back to Bellevue/Seattle soon...well, around early July. Mr. Li and I sold our townhouse and we move into our house in late June/early July. Come and see! yes, there are cats, but we'll set the airfilter on for you...N.C. does pretty well when he's next to the air filter.
Miss you! Mrs. Li

Hey Steph!
You're welcome to crash. All bedrooms will be kept shut from cats. And you can have the air filter right next to you at all times. =D
