Ben Kweller CD: bought and enjoyed!
Rain predicted: not here...or is it...I left my room for 30 seconds and all of a sudden it got dark in here...
high pitched noise coming from my monitor: increasingly annoying


So, you know how there's that spinach/E-coli outbreak? In the produce section of Wal-Mart theres a whole lot of regular lettuce in the spot where the bagged spinach used to be.

On a related note, the last time I went to look for the deoderant I've been using for 3+ years in the hygenics section of Wal-Mart, they didn't have the kind I use but in the slot's place was the "Sensitive Skin" stick.

Should I be worried about this?

I could really go on and on about how tired I am, or how productive I was in the past hour, or how busy my week has been already, but I am really just excited about Ben Kweller's new cd and all the indie pop/rock-ness that goes with it. (Um, even though I haven't had the time to acquire the latest album yet? Soon enough, my friends!)

And yet as I shamelessly and moral-lessnessy exploit YouTube again and blabber on and on about how great some guy is that I don't even know, view yet another "One Minute Pop Song" Podcast and just watch how Ben looks when he's listening to music.

I like people like that.

Absolutely (and I'm not much of an absolutist) its time for bed now.

I have been building up a lot of things I could say here in the past ten days. I've gone to a new church, went out to eat at a tiny cafe with twenty college students, been working, felt lonely, felt loved, listened to some good songs, saw Little Miss Sunshine (and loveloveLOVED it), met new people, fought back tears, fought with someone, felt defeated, rediscovered purpose.

But that's all I can say about any of it.


In church today our pastor talked about mosiacs. Each piece of a mosiac is unlike any other, broken, and seemingly worthless at first glance. But when you put all those broken, shattered pieces together, you get a picture that wouldn't be the same without each and every one of those parts. Rough and ragged things, in the end, turn out in ways we couldn't imagine.

This kind of pisses me off.

Largely evangelical movement calls for public school pullout
POSTED: 9:06 p.m. EDT, September 4, 2006 (from CNN.com)

NEW YORK (AP) -- Public schools take a lot of criticism, but a growing, loosely organized movement is now moving from harsh words to action -- with parents taking their own children out of public schools and exhorting other families to do the same.

Led mainly by evangelical Christians, the movement depicts public education as hostile to religious faith and claims to be behind a surge in the number of students being schooled at home.

All the rest of it's here.

Glad to see all of the hard work I'm putting into these four years isn't good enough for God's people.

I'll update later, I've got homework to do. :-)
