It's the middle of that impossible-to-spell month of February. What's been happening? Quite a bit of homework, which hasn't turned out how I've hoped most of it would. Catching up on American Idol clips on YouTube, and wondering why it seems so important to keep writing recaps if nobody's reading them. Lots of staring into space at the cream-colored walls of the apartment and wondering why it feels so empty. Occasionally walking to Taco Bell when I can't stand cafeteria food any longer. Picking up groceries from the scruffy gas station within walking distance. (It seems like a law that there must be at least one endearingly-scruffy gas station within walking distance of a college campus.) There's been too much analyzing of story structure from four different perspectives simultaneously to enjoy any stories, whether books or movies, which seems entirely wrong.
I have plowed through several more of J.K. Rowling's books, so I just have the last one left to have conquered that whole series. (It's required pop-culture knowledge for living in the 21st century....especially if you're an English major. Sigh.)
Dad finished his Master's degree, which is exciting. Amy is trying to get over pinkeye, which isn't. Grandpa's hanging in there. Everybody was glad I could drop by over the weekend; Trevor, Rags and Banjo especially.
News of friends: Dylan is enjoying school in Stillwater, Scotty dropped by GBC for a visit yesterday morning, Susan's play just wrapped up, and Ashland got a guinea pig.
Songs of the Day recently: Brad Paisley's "Letter To Me," the National Anthem, the sort-of-SGYC song "Jesus I Come," Garth Brooks' "What She's Doing Now" and the "Down By the Creek Bank" theme, among others.
The Broncos won the Super Bowl 24-10 over the Panthers a couple weeks ago, and Denny Hamlin just barely won the Daytona 500 yesterday, beating Martin Truex Jr. by something like six inches.
