Live-Skyping the Oscars, sort of

Apparently, I took a break from writing one of the three papers I have on this week’s agenda to engage in some useless celebrity discussion:

Emily: that Brangelina is starting to annoy me
Mum: Brangelina has always annoyed me
Emily: yeah, but they’ve gotten even more smug
Mum: I bet everyone agrees with us
Emily: Miley Cyrus told some reporter that Angelina is her favorite person in the whole world, so apparently not
Mum: yeah, but she also said that she hoped to be back next year getting an oscar, so clearly she’s delusional

Oh. Um. So. What month is it?

So, I quit writing when I went north, eschewing internet access in favor of spending time with my family (it was great, by the way). Then I didn’t write because I was busy catching up on processing daily photos. Then I was spending time with the “inlaws.” Then I was busy flying to Connecticut, getting stuck there due to a major snowstorm, finally flying back to Indiana, re-immersing myself in American culture via the Super Bowl, writing presentations in time for deadlines, and then being a foster owner to a dog from the local shelter. Stories to come, but for the moment, my days are chock-a-block with writing memos and picking up poop.
