Glittering Canoes

So the MOB is trying a diet. This may or may not be a good idea. We all have dreams of runnning everyday, eating carrots, and sporting our little workout outfits. Then we browse the caf for literally two seconds and end up with chocolate and cheesburgers and who knows what else. Currently the debate is whether diet soda is acceptable. It is not. We admire those people who are running around campus for none other than the joy of running. That is not us. We run because we are vain.

The most interesting thing that went down this past week was the March in D.C. Downright insane, people. The march was legitimate enough, but it was nothing compared to the crypt at the bottom of the basicilla. I basically walked into the chapel and died a couple of times. There have only been a few instances in my life where I almost cried because something is beautiful and this most definitely took the cake. First of all, incense is the most amazing thing on this planet. Second...Catholic = Universal. DUDE. It's insanity. All these people around you--normal and weird and ugly and cool people--we are instantly brought together. Bam, just like that. To be in the tightest group ever and not even have to say one word? Church Militant, it's freaking amazing. Third, monks and priests and cool guys like that can SING. I want to go delete everything on my iPod and just listen to chant foreverrrrrrr. Blows MA MIND.

I had a very disturbing dream on the bus, however. Made time go by fast.

Also, let me just say that the Lion King Special Edition is a piece of crap. Seriously Disney. Get your act together. If you can pull off brilliant movies, then cut the "Zazu sings the daily report" song and shove it down the composer's throat. Seriously. Just stop.

The Princess Bride is an amazing achievement. I don't think there's anything more I can say about that film. Just shut up and watch it thank you.

One great thing about living in the dorms is that there are amazing neighbors two doors down who will invite you to watch movies whilst curled up in heated blankets. This type of hospitality is very appreciated.

Two things I realized this week:
1) I had no idea you had to sign in to use the computer lab. I've just been waltzing in there like I own the place.
2) I think Hell is like living forever the moment when you hear your alarm clock go off. But worse. That is an awful, awful moment. This gives me incentive to be good.

Ciao.

Experimenting

Salutations and greetings from this lovely little dorm room in the bountiful, rolling hills of Steubenville, Ohio. I don't really know what the purpose of this blog is, as of yet. Creative outlet for creative thoughts I guess.

Keeping it real...
