A couple minor things.
This morning, I visited New York City in a dream. It was a strangely-rememberable dream. I had gone to New York City in a class with Jim Tyner, a faculty member at Kent. Also in this class was Sam Edmonds, an old friend from high school whom I haven't seen since Kling's funeral, and with whom I have had no communication of note for a long time before that.
I've got a few minutes, and I need a break. I finished the sociology final this morning, and turned in the final paper. Since then, I've been working on a paper about Dubai for my Geography of the Middle East class. It ended up showcasing the dualities of capitalism, with absolutely insane development fueled by the exploitation of foreign workers, blah blah.
The weekend was pretty great. The bed and breakfast was hokey, but relaxing. We went swimming in Lake Erie (for which my ear has yet to fully forgive me) and just generally relaxed. We didn't hit the zoo because it was too busy and pretty hot. We went to an Aeros game (free ticket from Amy's work) instead.
It's pretty often that I see t-shirts that make me want to lose weight. See, most t-shirts don't come in sizes larger than a 2x, which is something I haven't been able to really wear since college. Quitting smoking kind of ended that happy time.
Happy July.
