I'm Free!

...in more than one way.

Wanted to post last night, but had an email from Blogger in my inbox telling me that my account was frozen until they could verify that my blog was not spam. Yes, spam. I think it's because of this post as it often comes up in searches for p . o . r . n.

Anyway, I've been cleared and I'm back!

Post-bar commentary...

The essay portion went really well. On one of the twelve essays, I truly had no idea, like no clue. I'm hoping that the one essay combined with my queasy feeling about the MBE doesn't equal curtains. There were several essays however where I really felt like I nailed it, so cross your fingers that a few extra points will make up for the few lost points, or the possibility that I might have done much better on the MBE than I felt. (Please god, please god.)

The rest of the day was a shared bottle of wine with friends on the front patio, followed by dinner and a bottle of champagne (again, shared).

Today I'm just trying to get organized, clean the house, and figure out what I want to do in the coming months. Talked to my brother earlier, and he wants me to take some time off, fly out to LA, and spend a few days sitting on Venice Beach slowly sipping beer. Sounds like a pretty good idea to me. In the meantime, it turns out the my brother has the boxed set of remastered studio recordings by Zeppelin. He's putting together a post-bar care package for me that will include an assortment of memory sticks full of music from the late 60's - early 70's. (Yes! I am so happy!)

Good luck to everyone awaiting their scores and congratulations on getting through it!
