More Clarksdale on Flickr
I’m a busy bee, but not too busy to share more pictures of Clarksdale…
Back From the Delta
Terribly frustrating web problems, then Aaron and I went out of town for a few days. Something about DNS servers and Roadrunner being very slow updating its cache. That’s Aaron stuff, and he couldn’t fix it because we were just waiting on them to update their stuff. Lame!
The defense is now in 3 days and 15 hours, and I haven’t been thinking about it at all! Instead, we spent the weekend in Clarksdale, Mississippi, and it was so much fun. I can’t say I was exactly the most relaxed person on earth, but I really did get my mind off all the diss stuff for a few days, and I had a lovely time in the process. I’m uploading lots of pictures on Flickr, but here’s a teaser, so you’ll want to look more:
Big George at Ground Zero Blues Club
LOTS more pictures and stories very soon. I swear we met the whole town. It was such an adventure. For you in the Mid-South, I highly recommend a pilgrimage.
Allergies
My eyes are killing me. My allergies have been sooooo bad lately. With me, it’s all about the itchy eyes and fuzzy head. I don’t usually get a stuffy nose, which is good, I guess. Still, the eye thing is so annoying. It’s nearly impossible not to rub them.
At the bookstore this weekend, I picked up a book about skincare and dermatology and looked up "dark undereye circles." I’ve assumed all year that they were related to lack of sleep, but hell, I haven’t been sleeping enough for a while now, and the circles just popped up last summer. Apparently, the main cause of dark undereye circles is allergies, which completely makes sense. The rubbing breaks blood vessels and basically, you end up giving yourself a slow black eye… at least that was Aaron’s take on it. I think he might be right. My eyes aren’t puffy, and there aren’t bags. Just dark ugliness. I hate it. I want them to go away, but I’m already taking Zyrtec. I don’t know what else to try. It’s pissing me off!
Itchy yet unattractive!
Ro the Blogger
Whatever you think of Rosie O’Donnell, I liked reading this on her blog. It touched me. I’m going to be working with victims of abuse and offenders during my last rotation of internship. It started yesterday, and I already heard a heartbreaking story I can’t repeat here. Sometimes we try not to see all this bad stuff going on in our world, but I’m here to tell you, it’s everywhere.
