Yuck!

Terrible, awful weather all day long! The kind of day where you feel drained of energy just from looking at the sky. Last night, the forecast said high of 39 degrees. And it was wrong- it got all the way up to 44. So, I went to my classes and ran to hasbrouck before the rain started up again, ate, and came back to my dorm. I've been here ever since, a good 3 or 4 hours now, watching movies and showeiring and resting. Tonight, there's a movie being shown in the library on democracy in latin america, and the filmmakers will be there. Extra credit for spanish class!

My paintings are coming along okay. There are currently two on my wall: one of a flower in a bush with a red-orange-yellow background, and one of a woman in a red dress dancing in a blue-green room. It's just been fun to be able to play around with the paint. :)

I saw Hard Candy last week. So good! I was so into it, and the ending was good, which is saying a lot-endings rarely satisfy me. I recommend it; a little scary but great acting and a good plot.

Music reccomendation is Joanna Newsom, a solo artist who sings and plays the harp. Her voice is an acquired taste, but really addictive once you learn to like it.

One teeny-tiny week remains until my generation makes history, one way or another. As my spanish teacher says, Obamanos!

Obamanos.... or suffer the consequences ;)

You have a beautiful way of showing us your soul. Good feeling, better writing.. and the painting remains to be judged. You have a very proud father!
