Even the Cats Are Sick of Me. Also, I May Smell. But! A Limited-Time Offer!
It's finals season again. I haven't left my apartment in three days. For reals, yo. Even Fred & Ethel have had enough of me. By which I mean they spend at least 12 hours a day glued to my side, using my laptop keyboard as a pillow and my books as comfy perches. Very helpful. Please. Save. Me.
No, I won't subject you to my woes. Instead I'll tell you about LAST weekend, when finals were still just on the horizon, the sun was out, and I managed to hit two of my summer staples!
1) Bizarrely-Shaped Sunburns
All due to an hour on a law school bench reading about "special needs" justifications of searches without reasonable suspicion. This reminds me of a sunburn my dad once got when we went on a Hawaiian cruise and oh, that poor man. His pasty white legs hadn't seen the sun since his Dr. Steyskal's housewarming party in 1980, or maybe that time he wacked the weeds in record Sacramento heat back in 1984. Anyhoo, they were PALE, and we went KAYAKING. Just imagine. If your legs have not seen sun in ten years, and you plop them face-up in a kayak for five hours. Where only a little strip of them, plum down the center, is exposed to the sun. Eek. He missed two days of the rest of the cruise holed up in the cabin -- pants were too painful to bear, and you can't go lava-stalking in your underwear.
2) A Dodgers-Giants Game with Penny
At which she drank her FIRST LEGAL BALLPARK BEER! A milestone in any young sports fan's life. Goooooooooooooooo, Penny!
Also, check out the right-field foul line marker, how battered with ball marks it is.
And Now, The Offer
And in the spirit of summer, and because I have to remind myself there is life beyond finals, I am offering yet again a summer mix CD, just for you! To be sent out in JUNE, after finals are over. E-mail me at jen@sundayundies.com with a mailing address if you want a copy!

Glad you were able to forget finals temporarily. Nothing beats a baseball game. Sorry about the sunburn, but isn't it wonderful to have sun again?

Penny, your hair is so long, it looks great!
Oh, finals. May you be over soon :)

Thanks, Laurie:) It may look good, but it's a pain in my butt. It takes too long to blow dry!
Jen, I think I left my boots at your house! I bet you've been wearing them, huh?

ouch!!! you should see my sunburned shoulders from Uluru. complete with white fingerprint marks where i randomly applied lotion. apparently i am not so good with the sunscreen... :) (well, i guess they're not burned anymore, but at the time they were quite attractive.)
i agree - penny's hair looks awesome. :)

Penny, you did leave your boots at my house, but I have NOT worn them. I am keeping them safely for you and will return after finals. Or do you want me to mail them? Perhaps this would be a better discussion for e-mail.
