Post election day blues

I may not seem sad, because Buster was engaged in antics off to the side. And this was no surprise. And there are some positives. Anyway, I'm still hopeful that good things can happen, although I don't know when. And although I am a fan of his party platform, I did not vote for the Rent is 2 Damn High Party candidate for governor (my Canadian friend J blames me for the rent being too damn high, as a result).
Anyway, clothes. Or more importantly- boots!


From the side:
(Please excuse our messy floors). The shape of these boots make my feet look a little big, but that's probably because my feet are a little big. Which is cool, because I am very balanced on my feet.

I was super behind on Monday, as I spent Saturday at the Rally for Sanity/Fear. It was crazy, awesome, exciting, and chaotic. Blokey and I caught a ride on the Huffington Post free buses from CitiField early on Saturday AM, and made it back up to Queens by 8:30. After all that queuing, and sanity, we went straight to Jackson Diner.

On Sunday, I had the pleasure of meeting WhatIWore and La Fill d'Or for vegan brunch in East Williamsburg. They are both very sweet and even better looking than in their pictures. But it took a while to get there from Bed-Stuy, and all of the sudden it was noon, and I had piles of class prep and grading left to do. (Sorry for my rapid exit, ladies). Sunday afternoon-Monday totally kicked my butt. It seems that this weekend, I over did my "quota of fun."*
Luckily, today is a half day. Weird, I know, but they only can celled evening classes for Rosh Hashanah back in September, so no day classes today. So I luxuriously woke up at 7:45 today. And we are watching a film on counter insurgency in my one class today, hence the super casual look.
We have 5 1/2 weeks left in the semester. This both makes me happy and concerned, as my piles of work I planned to have done by now are still on my "to do" list. Luckily, I can dedicate much more of my weekend (Thursday-Sunday) to research and writing.
