Ha ha ha! Have you ever been in a the kind of mood where you're so INCREDIBLY tired that anything and everything is freakin' hilarious?
I mowed the lawn today and I started laughing because my landlord, who seems to be as bright at Big D, put the handle on upside-down. So now I have to stoop over to push it. I just know I looked like a complete ( Read more... ) -

James E. Faust died this morning just after midnight. He was an excellent and upstanding man and he was loved greatly by all those who knew him, as well by those who he touched through his words. I never met him personally, but I've listened to his soft and reassuring voice since I was 15. I'm terribly sad that he is gone from us, but I know that ( Read more... ) -

So I go online to sell some of my books. We're going to be moving soon and I just have a lot of stuff and I thought, why not sell some of it?!

SQUEE!! I'm going to watch OotP tomorrow at 7:00!! And I get to watch it with a kid, which makes it somehow more fun. A student of mine called me up to say that she missed me and wanted to see me, so I said I'd take her to the movie ( Read more... ) -
BOOK REC.
I read Pullman's, The Golden Compass last week -very good- and have started on the next installment, The Subtle Knife. He's a brilliant writer and I'm captivated by his storytelling. Really amazing. I guess they're making a movie of Compass that's suppose to be out in the winter sometime.
I couldn't put it down and I couldn't start the next book ( Read more... ) -
BIKES
I totally wrote an essay on why I -above anyone else- deserve a Cycle Seven bike and sent it in to Outside magazine. They run about $9,500 but they're giving one away -custom built- to the winner of the essay contest! HOW COOL IS THAT!?!
Let's hope I win!! Cross your fingers for me. WOOT!!
