prom cleanup

not much of an update since i last posted. i'm moving out of my current house in approximately two weeks and i'm thoroughly depressed about it. all four of my current roommates and i have miraculously gotten along really, really well, and it'll be sad when we all have to move out. anyhow, as one last hurrah we had Borderello Prom 2008, "Dancing Under the Stars of Venice in the Sea of the Millennium" last night. the event was complete with corsages, streamers, spiked punch, and slow dancing. pictures of this to follow.

i did a little baking last week, though nothing too exciting. i made the classic standard - chocolate chip cookies, but for a twist added in butterscotch chips as well. i brought the bulk of them into the office, and i'll assume they turned out good as they were gone within the first hour of work.

the student newspaper on campus - the daily iowan - ran an editorial today titled, "art museum needs to move downtown." for those not aware the current ui art museum is located quite near the iowa river and with the flooding this past month was forced to be evacuated. discussions had long been in the works, by the former director, to move the art museum to a more central location in downtown iowa city. which contradicts the idea of the 'arts campus' ie where the art buildings, theatre building, hancher auditorium, etc are all located on the ui campus. i'm not sure why i bring this up as i won't be taking classes or living in iowa city within the next month. maybe only to say that the editorial was poorly written and not very convincing at all. especially where they called for the need of museums downtown to compliment the 'art' of iowa city.
