Running Crazy 8s Round the Track

What a day yesterday turned out to be. It was the first day of class, fortunately it was a Tuesday, when I only have one class so it was very lovely. I went to work, I now TA for professor Choate, whom I love, so its pretty much going to be great! Then I studied for a bit. Then I went to ASL. I'm a little concerned about having skipped 102, but I think it'll be okay.

Then last night I went and saw MAE in concert. I love them so much. First of all, I need to give props to Dear and the Headlights, who had their set cut short because of the power outage, and gave a mini acoustic set instead. It was pretty sweet. Then As Tall As Lions came out and they were rockin' pretty much the whole time.

Then... MAE... I love MAE. That is all I have to say. It was most certainly a multisensory asthetic experience. They are so rockin' live, they just don't stop. I was so happy because they played Waiting, my favorite song from their new album, and they also played The Ocean and Suspension. Then in their encore they did Sun and Someone Else's Arms. It was incredible. I almost caught a drumstick. But I did get to hold one of the guitars for a bit after the show. He just set it on the stage and we sort of grabbed for it. It was quite the triumphal return to the Avalon, which is still my favorite venue. Life is good.

You have such an exciting life! I'm glad things are so good. Isn't it weird to think that it was just over four months ago that we lived at the Brittany? Life keeps moving.

Green is the Color that Everyone Sees all Around Me

Today I had a meeting with the Professor over the Public Health Internship department at BYU. The following is a conversation that actually happened on my way there.

Together We're Invincible

If you can't handle the atmosphere of concerts don't go. That is all I have to say. I wish I had said it to the girl standing in front of me at the Muse concert last night. Instead I began plotting her downfall, but since I don't know her name or where she lives, I suppose she has escaped her terrible fate... for now. Aside from her constant rants and shoving backwards, causing me to fall into the people behind me, who then shoved me back into her to illicite her annoyingly dirty looks, the Muse concert was... amazing. This was definitely a very high budget concert. There was a sweet light show, explosions after certain songs, and his guitar was glittery and lit up. Like, an actual light in his guitar. Underneath the spectacular "special effects," you could tell that Matthew Bellamy is a guy who just wants to get out there and rock. So rock he did. On the guitar and the piano. Butterflies and Hurricanes was amazing. I would post a video of it... but it all sounds...

A Tragicomedy of Poetic Verse

If you could please all forgive me, I am taking the time to wax philosophical within this post. So Friday night I went and saw the movie "Stranger than Fiction." This was a highly good film and I would recommend that everyone go see it. Take home made cookies with you too, because you'll want to eat them. The premise of this film, for those of you that don't know, is that the main character, Harold Crick, begins hearing a voice in his head, narrating his life in third person omniscient. The voice is right about a lot of things, and is mainly very annoying until Harold hears the voice say that he is going to die. So, I began thinking about life and death. After all, thats the point of art, to make you think about life and death. So I did. We are all, for the most part going to taste of death at some point on this journey. Death in some form will come to all of us, through the loss of a loved one, or through our own. It will happen, we cannot stop it. So why did it be...
