I found one of my favorite songs this weekend. It’s called “Float On” by Modest Mouse. I have wonderful memories of dancing to this song at Baja Bean in Staunton. Imagine a smoky bar filled with friends and loved ones. The band is rocking out and the whole crowd is jumping up and down screaming,Continue reading “Float On”

The comic book hero shot! The paparazzi stalker shot. Just chillin’ in the doorway. Aren’t they gorgeous people?! The red wall. There were 166 good shots. the blue wall. I believe the commentary isn’t really adding to the photo viewing experience. Just takin’ a walk. Next to a heavenly red wall. On the steps atContinue reading “Sam and Audy’s Engagement Pics”

Today was the busy day, and the stress just relaxes me. Weird, I know. The Jazz are winning, but it’s midnight here and I’m going to get to bed so I can get to class early tomorrow. Tonight’s World Cultures lecture was truly international–China, France, England, Mexico, Peru and Spain. Brain hurting. We were supposedContinue reading “Good day”

I got out of bed the moment I felt like it.2) I emailed lectures and responded to students’Continue reading “Art and New Music”

This week has been a crapper of a week. It seems that everyone I talk to has been having a bad week. Except for my mother, who I believe has found the holy grail of anti-depressants because she was positively chipper the last time I talked to her. But other than my happier than thouContinue reading “Reasons to Be Happy”

Easter is my favorite holiday. Today started off with a nice long shower. I put out Easter baskets for my two roommates last night before going to bed. I spent the morning listening to conference talks that I had missed last weekend. After enjoying a perfect omelet, I got the house ready for choir. AtContinue reading “Easter”

I’ve been trying to find the words for this post for a long time. I’m going to attempt it now, without making it too long.
