--Watched the latest episode of The Office.
--Took my sister to her choir concert, then spent an hour or so roaming around downtown Gallatin with her.
--Went to an art sale...and bought a painting.
--Watched Seven Pounds. Good movie.
--Wrote my last college essay. YES!

Snaps for being productive.
Also, I'm really excited about my painting. I will post a picture of it sooner or later.

Gauging My Thoughts

Brother Kinman: And what book did John write? Revelations. .....
Me: Revelation.
Heath: Are you one of those people who just has to be right about everything?
Me: No, but they won't accept Revelations in quiz bowl.


Yes, this is how I think about [almost] everything.

Ouch, that really hurt

I was running into the YMCA the other day (Hurry, quick! Get there before they lock the doors!!), when the sidewalk suddenly dropped to a lower elevation. I didn't notice this, and so I stumbled over my ankle, and landed on it sideways.

"Ouch, that really hurt, Charlie!"

I don't even know where that came from, what caused me to say that, or why I said it, but I said that...in a British accent. So I continued running to the YMCA, laughing as I did so and getting weird looks from people as I ran past them.

Now my ankle is sore, and I feel kind of dumb about the whole situation.

But that is a funny YouTube video.

Senior Quote

"Life imitates art far more than art imitates life."

--Oscar Wilde

Each of the seniors at our school had to submit a quote that they liked or felt defined them. I forgot to submit one in time, so my teacher gave me a sheet to fill out and told me to turn it in at the end of the block. Frantically racking my brain for some quote, any quote, I had no idea what to put down--like I memorize quotes. European dictators, artists, Shakespeare works, and Norwegian playwrights, yes, but not quotes. Just then I heard this guy say the above quote. Twas ever so convenient, seeing as how I love this quote and find it to be so true.
