I may have talked about this before, but if I can’t remember, chances are neither can you. I am indebted to The Blarg’s recent post for generating my thoughts as stated below.
Freedom. I believe it can be conceived of in two primary ways. Firstly, there is “freedom from.” We may conceive of freedom as the [...]

For Erin and Sarah Shead: I just finished watching North and South and boy was it awesomer than awesome and boy do I need a poster of Richard Armitage. Will he be in the upcoming edition of Teen Beat, do you think?
For Angelo: Where can I get Illy coffee cheaper than at the market? $14 [...]

Conversation the first, overheard in the loo…
Girl in the bathroom #1: I wanna go on Thunder Mountain.
Girl in the bathroom #2: What? Magic Mountain?
Girl in the bathroom #1: No Thunder Mountain.

First free week and my house is getting cleaner by the moment. It’d be even cleaner if I didn’t drag Paul out dancing three times this week. Mondays at Memories are quite reliably fun lately.

3. Does anyone want to start paying me to swing dance? [...]

There are parks on all my routes home. No matter how I try, I cannot help but pass a park on my commute.
Last week, I drove by El Dorado and, according to my usual custom, peeled the old eyeballs for squirrels. Two were playing – or fighting to the death – under a tree, [...]

-Amazing weather.
