Blogger Not Surprised to Discover Only Action at School Today is in Law Journal Office

Woke up fresh and early today to work on stupid Law Journal project. The school is dark, but for one shining light on the second floor. There are only three people at school today: another law journal peep, the security guard, and moi.

We had a lovely Christmas with the family in Perham, MN. Mostly just lounged around, played games, watched movies, ate cookies. It was perfect snowman-making weather. We made a 10-foot-tall monster with a hideous face that looks right into the kitchen window. At first it was going to be a cobra, so we made the big wing-things on the side of its face and a big creepy open mouth with fangs. But then we ran out of snow in that vicinity and were too lazy to roll it all in, so we decided to turn it into one of those monsters like in the movie, Tremors, where the big snake-monster-things live in the ground. So we left the big monster head sticking up by the kitchen, and elsewhere in the yard made a big arc where another part of its snakey body came up out of the earth. We were going to make another arc elsewhere and a sticking-up tail at the other side of the yard, but we got called in for dinner and abandoned the project in typical fashion.

I'm going to languish in the law journal office today. The rest of the week, my mom and sisters are coming down to visit. Nothing big planned--there are a few craft projects to work on, maybe go shopping, stuff like that.

The U of M reuse center was swell. I got two long fold-up tables (as seen in conference rooms and church basements) that will work out really well when I set them side-by-side in the craft studio. I also bagged some groovy chairs circa 1960 or 1970. They had tons of chairs, big desks, drafting tables, room dividers, shelves, etc. at decent prices (e.g. my tables were $25 each, chairs were ten bucks).
