MIA

i've been a little MIA recently - apologies!  those of you who have worked at a summer camp before will understand...some days are easy breezy and some are so hectic that when you get some free time you (a) sleep, (b) spend it all with your friends, or (c) can't put together a coherent thought that would be worth blogging about.  that has been me recently, and it probably won't get any better anytime soon.  the kids leave on saturday (!) and then we spend two days packing up before the admin staff leaves on monday (!!).  i really really can't believe that my time in oxford is coming to a close.  it feels like it went by so much faster than last summer (which we've taken to calling "swine '09") and i'm really sad that i won't be around this group of people any more after monday.  we had so many returning staff that it was easy to fall into those friendships again and in some ways it feels like i've been here forever.

enough of that, though.

your procrastination of the day: the killers' "mr. brightside" performed by tommy reilly, who won a british show much like american idol last year.  we were talking about music a couple days ago and a friend of mine showed me this link.  on the first listen, i really liked it.  on the third, i was in love.
