A few updates, for posterity's sake, and for those who care to know:

1) Spokane has once again made the national news. Isn't it funny that whenever we do so, it's for something hideously awful. This time it's because the Spokane Southhill Raper wants out of jail.

2) I have a long history with this video:

I just ran it across it today and was ( Read more... )

I think that the two lyrics that have really grabbed my attention lately reveal a deep-seated psychological issue. Is it not in some way a little messed up that they are "Dream Girl" by DM and "He Reigns" by Newsboys:

I'm studying for LSATs in a coffee shop and am very, very annoyed with myself for not getting the logic games section as well as I need to.
