I watched The Virgin Suicides last night. Which was very good, followed by American Beauty. Then tonight I watched The Chumscrubbers.

I should probably write some papers tomorrow, or I could continue my marathon.

Watched Wag the Dog for my Global Communications class. Your average made for adults 90s movie. Now I have to write a paper on shitty things the government has brushed under the rug. Where do I start? Mostly I am at a loss for words, because communications classes always tell me to be impartial. It is hard to be impartial when I have loud and proud opinions. So if you have any ideas on PR disasters done by any government let me know.

There she is.

There I am, with her.
Got it at the music store downtown. Starting with some good old battle hymns.

Ben has art homework to make a 100 figure drawings. So many uncomfortable positions for Tommy and me.

We stood at the edge of
The water and sent the
Smooth stones we had gathered earlier sailing
Across the surface.
Ripples glided out
And suddenly I was hypnotized.
It was as though I had fallen through that center ripple
Straight down to the bottom of the lake.
In the quiet darkness
I could only feel the fish moving past me.
In that moment I was Saul,
Struck blind by God.
And the feeling of those scaly bodies sliding against my skin
Was all I needed to know that
All would be forgiven
As long as I just asked for it.
An invisible hand lifted me through the water
And as I broke the surface
My wings unfurled and I
Soared into the sun.
Not a modern Icarus,
Doomed for eternity,
But a liberated soul.
By the time I regained my sight
And opened my eyes
You had become concerned,
Asking me if I was alright.
I started to explain
But stopped because to rob you
Of your own
Deliverance
Release
Unshackling
Would have been the undoing of my new found freedom.

Can’t say why I searched baby carrots, but that picture of the creepiest baby ever made it totally normal.

1. See small spider and scream.
2. Watch in fear for a couple minutes.
3. Muster up courage to put a cup over it, then scream a little bit.
4. Freeze in fear for 10 minutes.
5. Spend 2 minutes slowly sliding paper under cup.
6. Tape cup to paper, so there is no chance of spider on hand.
7. Hold breath, while placing on floor.
8. Call nature-oriented friend and ask for help.
9. Wait for them to come and take picture for Tumblr.
10. Watch nature-oriented friend free the spider outside.
11. Congratulations, you have learned to catch a spider.
