Speaking of phone calls, I just spent two entire hours on the phone with Kellie, my old roomie from Franklin. Oh! It was so wonderful, to talk to her and catch up on all the Franklin gossip! I actually felt as if I was in Franklin again, dealing with all of those issues and problems . . . nicer than what I have to deal with out here, that's for sure! There's something to be said for a small town with a teeny tiny college -- at least you can *do* something! At least you matter, or if you don't, they have to pretend like you do! Anyway, Kellie sounds like fresh peaches in August right now. She just got her first real job, at a temp agency! Oh, my. We had a good laugh about that. But she's working *at* the temp agency, not for it, and the company's growing and it sounds like a good position for her. She's also playing Helen of Troy in the FC production of Orestes; the face that launched a thousand ships and I think Kellie's the only person I know that could pull that one off! Anyhow, she's doing well, and I was glad to get to talk to her.




Well, my email isn't working properly yet, so if any of you want to write me, write to gryffn@yahoo.com until further notice. Mary Anne mentioned (on my answering machine -- my life is my answering machine these days) an intriguing email she sent earlier this week, and I'm dying to read it and haven't been able to yet! Rrgh. I'll have to try and get her on the phone before Thursday. And I thought scheduling would be easier with David gone! Hah.

Oh, I almost forgot. Last night Todd and I went to see Scream 2 and it was really entertaining! I thought it was much better than the original. A self-referential, post-modern, hip-and-now movie that both makes fun of and is a bad horror flick. The mystery is much better this time around, as the surprise ending can possibly be guessed, though it's not likely. I wasn't even scared (ok, I screamed several times) to go home afterwards.
