The Frank Funny Farm

i graduated! yay! my parents stayed with us for almost a week and i took off work and soulpancaking so as to hang out with them. my dad displayed some astonishing willingness and bravery in the face of those scary new things we always make him do, which deserves (and hopefully shall get) its very own blog post later.

at the moment, i'm sitting on annalise's futon in brooklyn (sigh. brooklyn. i wub you.). she got her bachelor's in the designing of fashions this morning in one fantastic clusterf*#@ of a graduation. annie liebowitz was the guest speaker, so that was something, except that she was almost as bad at speakering as she is good at photographering. it was in radio city music hall, which was neat inside, but we didn't need to sit there for nearly 3 hours to take it all in. however, annalise graduated and will presumably get a diploma in the mail soon, so yay! and we celebrated at this fantastic spanish place in chelsea and have a ton of leftover paella in the fridge. at any rate, yes, blog, i have a master's degree. and yes, blog, that means i will continue to babysit two days a week and soulpancake my lil' heart out for some more days and probably never actually find a job to make this degree qualify as useful. so if you haven't heard already, i am to be addressed henceforth as 'master' because i'm determined to get something out of it. and now, for your viewing pleasure, hayley as master's graduate:

master's in english? she can't even speak english!

graduatin' is tiring.

oh, and also, my first feature piece went up on soulpancake today. yay.
