Puppies!

Well it's been a good while so I figured why not hop on the keyboard and write up a bit of my life.

Finals are over. HOOWAH. Man I am glad the semester is gone. It was the hardest one yet. I'm really hoping it's not a trend, but it probably will. There should be at least a bit of a relief next semester because I'm taking New Testament Greek (after the epic struggle that was Mrs. Clay's class). Making the jump to 500 level Latin though. But anyway, I'm now 3 semesters away from graduation. Kinda makes me wonder where time goes, and where I'm going for that matter. But that's the kind of thought I don't like, so I'm forgetting about that for now. A glorious month of time off awaits.

Other tidbits of what's been going on in my absence: I got a raise (finally). I went to the Newcomb theater to see Ocean's Eleven and ended up seeing Anchorman because I got there at the wrong time. Decorated the Christmas tree, which makes me happy every year. I love it. Did my Christmas shopping, which I love slightly less because I am not good at shopping for people other than me. My mom got the Seinfeld DVDs that have been released so far, so I've been watching those. And of course, I've been putting in some Warcraft playing when I can.

And now on to the title topic: I'm finally going to have a dog again! I've wanted one for a good while, ever since our last one died. But then there was the whole SPCA debacle (don't be fooled, the SPCA isn't a friendly helpful organization helping animals find homes; they're bastards. Ask for more details if you wanna know). So I finish my last exam yesterday and come home and what does my mom tell me? Her friend's dog is having puppies, and I get first pick! Life is joyous. Not only that, but they're BEAGLES! My favorite kind of dog! My mom wants to get two, so they can kinda keep each other company which is fine by me. I love beagles. We went out to look at them today, they were just born like a week ago and they're still nursing (we'll get them mid to late January). They were so small it was unbelievable. And of course, super-cute. I can't wait. Now it's time for name-thinking. I was thinking about naming one Woodstock (ha ha) but we'll see what happens. It's going to be great.

Song of the night is the title track off Rammstein's new album, Reise Reise. Definitely my favorite track on the CD. Very interesting band; heavy with a gruff-voiced singer, but very melodic a lot of times. This particular song even has what sounds like an accordion in the background, and crazily enough it works well. I love little stuff like that. It's a solid album, check it out.
