Rained out AGAIN
Aug. 3rd, 2004 10:47 amWell, I missed Screen on the Green yet again because of rain. I had to go to the LOC to find some pictures of Modoc Indians for our exhibit (I found some good ones, which we will order), and waited outside Madison Building until five o'clock to see if the weather would clear up. It didn't, so I took the Metro back and went to exercise. Mom and Dad weren't sure if I was staying for the movie or not so they kept calling me on my cellphone, which was annoying. Mom called my phone while I was driving home, which scared the heck out of me, and of course I didn't answer it.
I'm still waiting to get some e-mail from Gamble Plantation on what they have relating to Judah P. Benjamin. I should ask Sarah what else I can do to get things for that exhibit. I'm also waiting for the Livingston papers reproductions (although those should be along soon) and I'm also waiting for that reprint of an article from the Republican newspaper - the article that Beale wrote. At least we have the exhibit text done, though not all the "tombstones" for various exhibits.
Maybe I should start planning the layout of Livingston's exhibit and perhaps Beale's. I don't know about Benjamin, since I don't really have anything.
Speaking of Benjamin, my Benjamin - the little brother - sent home a postcard that arrived last night. In rather poor handwriting he informed us that it was raining a lot and he wanted Mom and Dad to tell me hello (I'd recently sent him a letter). He put an extra syllable in "raining." He also called home from camp and talked to Mom and Dad but I didn't talk to him.
Got some more fanfic done. I'm finally making progress on that.
And now for something completely different. Last night I dreamed that I transferred to Brown University from Bryn Mawr for my senior year. I filled out the paperwork before the summer started and then forgot I'd transferred and we were trying to get everything together at the last minute and I wasn't sure where to go. Since I wouldn't transfer from BMC, maybe someone else was actually responsible. With dreams it's hard to tell. But I'm glad I'll be going back to BMC, not somewhere else.
