went to kirstens house today. her sister is funny, and so is her mom. in fact they're all funny and it was lovely. we had a very nice dinner at Paradiso (ooooooh) and the scenery was very beautiful. falls colors and such. I hope there's time this weekend for an adventure while the world is still colorful. I really should be working on my ind. study deal but i realized that i only have four sources that are viable. although i could use the thirty million books i got out of the library. hmmm. perhaps it will get done tonight. wish me luck.
