Shoutout to Stew Pot, now a screwy Scottish squire...how's that for groan-worthy, huh?

Am reading the Tolkien biography after all--have been since this weekend, actually--and am actually enjoying it. Skipped ahead to the chapter on Tolkien's friendship with C.S. Lewis and read that, too. :)

Today I did practically nothing of any value, save going up to school for exactly five minutes to pick up my brother from SFE. Made dinner again, out of cartons this time instead of boxes: heat-and-eat pulled pork and barbeque beans. More volleyball practice for my brother; that's what's driving this. At least he ate dinner as soon as it was ready this time.

Once again my blog has ceased to be profound, but right now I have not the energy to change that.

The high school just casted the players for Brigadoon, which they're putting on, so I looked up a synopsis online out of curiosity. It's slightly confusing and out-there a storyline, but on the plus side, Glenn's got a decent role (though apparently not as comic as last year's--whether that's good or bad, I don't know), so that part's cool. Wonder if I'll be able to get to any of the performances. I never got to South Pacific last year, more's the great pity.

I have been informed by my dad that I am working on Thursday and Friday. Batch-indexing. Of course. Wheeeeee. But at least I've gotten lots of time off this break.

On Sunday the English majors went bowling--Matt (who most likely will be one in a couple of years), Aneya, and me. It was great fun. We put H*R names into the computer-scoring, so Matt was The Cheat, Aneya was Trogdor, and I was Coach Z. That was entertaining, 'cause when we got strikes or spares, our altered names showed up, flashing on the screen. Bowled two games (we're so pitiful, it's hysterical) and went down to Other-Coffee-Shop for a change.

Back to school on the 18th. Come back to one set of friends, miss another. Meh, hard to win. Ah, well.
