For Your Viewing Pleasure...and Spiritual Uplift-ment

I had to write an essay on this short film for my mass media class. I think it would be meaningful to any Christian, although, if you weren't raised Catholic, you might not get that that big brass thing with the sunburst is a monstrance. Jesus is in there.

JESUS IN THE STREETS OF NEW YORK

I wish...

...they would put the nutritional information for the entire bag of Terra chips (or pint of Ben & Jerry's) instead of listing it per serving. You know, for when you've had one of those days and don't feel like doing the math yourself.

Like The Old Days

I have had a fabulous weekend kickin' it old school with Lisa Zell (Grover). By old school I mean lots of sitting on the couch in comfy pants, watching Felicity/Alias, and surfing the net together with my new wireless router.*

Yesterday we drove to Robinson to get us some Cracker Barrel and then went to campus to take some pictures but then came straight home to park our asses on the couch some more.

It's been lovely. Really.


*My router is a new addition (as are laptop computers) and clearly cannot be considered old school...but whatever.

Shameless Advertisment

I will be an Erickson Community advocate forever. As I've said before, my mother has a better social life than I do. You may not have believed me then.
Here's your proof!

BTW...

That test I didn't study for? I got a B. Now I'm worrying about my Spanish test...for which I studied 7 hrs. She wanted me to write paragraphs. It's chapter 2!! Wtf?

I'll Dedicate my Book To You If...

...you help me come up with a story.

I've been meeting with the university's career counselor every couple of weeks or so. I have my meeting with her this Thursday. She gave me homework, of sorts, to complete before our meeting and I haven't done it. This is where you can all help me.

She and I have been discussing some of my writing goals and I told her that I'd love to write a novel with good Christian values but that wouldn't be classified as "Christian fiction." She asked what kind of story I'd like to write...what my novel would be about. I told her I had no idea and that that was my main problem.

My homework was to have a little get-together with the girls and have a plot-brainstorming party. Well the problem is that I don't feel comfortable taking them away from their studies with midterms being this week and next.

So I thought I'd send up a flare and ask my girls from home to help instead. Let's brainstorm here in cyberspace.

Tell me ladies...what's my book about?!?!?!

Learning about myself

I must confess that I totally blew off a test this week. My first test in News Reporting was really easy for me and I really enjoyed studying for it. But I seem to have mistaken "enjoyed studying" for "didn't study" because I barely picked up my notes for this one. I don't think I did very well at all.

God knew what he was doing!

Yeah. I hit enter after writing the title. So those of you who were waiting with baited breath for my next post got to see nothing but the title. Ooops!

So as I was saying...

Weekends are God's greatest invention. (next to hot men of course)

It's Friday afternoon and I'm gonna sit on my ass and watch a long run of America's Next Top Model (my guilty pleasure) and then go to a cookout tonight. Then I'm gonna sit on my ass some more tomorrow (and maybe study some) and go to our university's monthly Festival of Praise (where us Catholics get to stand in a big field house and sing songs projected on a big screen like a bunch of evangelicals.) Then on Sunday a bunch of us GNTers (that's Grad/Non-Traditional) are going to a winery and drink some yummy wine and eat cheese and crackers.

And what makes this all so fun is that I did all (well most) of my studying during the week at school so I'm home free.
