Thankful Thursday + Fantasy Friday + Snapshot Saturday

Um, so this is the weekend before midterms which really means I shouldn't be hanging out on the internet doing things. I've sort of had a lack of ideas about anything besides interpreting regression coefficients... so I am just going to let this weekend slide on by... though I'm not thrill to do so. Oh, well, such is life.

However, to somewhat cover Fantasy Friday and Snapshot Saturday, I have a plan with pictures. The tenant above me does a lot of drawer closing and door slamming (with pocket doors? I am perplexed) as late as 3:30 AM and as early as 9:30 AM. It would be fine if it was one of these two extremes. But I require at least 8 hours of sleep to be human. So I searched for ways to muffle sound from above. Most were for condos where people can install second ceilings and such. Obviously, I can't do that. But another option is to drape fabric across the ceiling...
While I am not sure how well that would work, I love the design idea. I have a large piece of fabric above my couch effectively imitating art and distracting from the bland walls. But what if I got an even bigger piece of fabric and drape it across my ceiling all the way to the other side of my apartment? I think it would look so, so cool. I already have two fabric ideas picked out:
This one is the what I currently have above my sofa.
Another idea...

So this project is going to take some thought and most definitely another person, but I think it will look really cool... and maybe make my apartment a little more peaceful.

I hope to have enough time to blog tomorrow, but if not, I will blog again Wednesday night or Thursday when midterms will officially be OVER! Wahoo!

Snapshot Saturday - Oranges!


Every gray cloud that won't seem to leave no matter how much you wish it would has a silver lining! Overcast == good photography situation. So, on my Saturday stroll, I found this gorgeous orange tree and decided to pop in the shot.

Happy weekend everyone!

Snapshot Saturday - January 2nd

Snapshot Saturday should involve a picture... but I didn't take my camera on any outings today, so words will have to suffice.

It's 3PM on a Saturday. I am walking to the Co-Op, headphones on head, listening to ABBA. I cross Russell Boulevard on 3rd Street. There are children playing in the park and adults chatting whilst sitting at the picnic tables. I am wearing a long sleeved shirt and a relatively thin jacket. It feels like autumn, though the leaves have all fallen. After I cross the street, I see a father wearing only a long sleeved shirt on a bicycle being followed by two children. A girl wearing a sweater and a younger boy wearing a smart jacket. I stand in awe.

...January 2nd?
