It may help you to know that she is just a little bit safer this year than she would have been last year, thanks to the Higher Education Bill which was signed into law recently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13524464.post-46553461857953911372008-09-11T22:16:00.000-06:002008-09-11T22:16:00.000-06:00No rush, I'll be checkin' round.

I'm sure you'll be happy to be back in CO.<BR/><BR/>My spirits are raised anyway, a very dumb little movie my friends and I made just got accepted in a new local film festival (the fest is new, the comic book convention it's a part of is 28 years old)! So there's something to look forward to to get me through the unpleasantness anyway.A Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383567846943735063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13524464.post-33937224384543056792008-09-11T19:35:00.000-06:002008-09-11T19:35:00.000-06:00overwhelmed by travel/house duties, but thanks for...overwhelmed by travel/house duties, but thanks for comments. a wanderer, I have a lot of thoughts about college, pros and cons, and want to post about it, but it will have to wait until I'm in Colorado. The drive is only one day.<BR/><BR/>Linda, by the time I got around to trying to photograph the miniature the light was all wrong. Maybe tomorrow, or maybe you'll get to see a goat picture tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>Namowal, I don't think there's any close relation to George C though I love his work, and he's sometimes credited with inventing the comic balloon.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874162149979602139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13524464.post-82308528026623740592008-09-11T12:32:00.000-06:002008-09-11T12:32:00.000-06:00Great painting and stories.

I'm actually on my laptop during my morning pre-class wait (and this laptop is hard to top on, the keys are weak for some reason). Some guys are playing pool nearby and repeatedly screaming "son of a...!" and "biscuits!"<BR/><BR/>I'm starting to really burn out on college in a massive way, and I'm thinking about looking at other options. I feel very overwhelmed by it all. I've done well (I just transferred to OU from my old school and got a scholarship for my previous success) but I really hate the school experience and I'm not sure my sanity can last much longer. I have a film class, the "class goal" of which is "to construct an argument to support your prediction of the future of film." What is the point of that?!<BR/><BR/>I'm very glad you're back. These blogs cheer me up!A Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383567846943735063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13524464.post-30955299838956518542008-09-11T04:28:00.000-06:002008-09-11T04:28:00.000-06:00This is a beautiful painting and a wonderful story...This is a beautiful painting and a wonderful story!

You've probably heard of George Cruikshank (who also had a talented family). Are you related?Namowal (Jennifer Bourne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00384500508934864421noreply@blogger.com
