excuse me for lack of details tonight, blogger, but I am exceedingly tired. I can barely keep my eyes open, but I don't want to forget you. Saturday was reading my book and talking to Natalie, then midnight rodeo (had fun) followed by a pool party that was broken up by the apartment security guard before it had really started, even though we were quiet, and I ended up driving everyone home, crowding the car a bit. Then, with cars picked up at midnight rodeo, we hit Denny's and got home at 7ish. I woke up at 2:15, then to church for LifeTeen. highlights: the skit had me running around, pretending to be weeping, bleeding, one-armed, with heavy burdens, and drunk (added one after another in that order). The ice-breaker involved throwing bags of m&ms at the kids, and playing the game "guess what color the candy is" in anticipation of a talk on diversity and not judging people. Small group, I totally covered what we were supposed to cover (I'm awesome) but way too fast. they wouldn't shut up, which is a good thing, but incidentally also wouldn't stop throwing and/or flicking m&ms and wrappers at each other. They were given wooden blocks and told to write judgements made and recieved on them, then given nails to symbolize how christ was put on the cross by people who judged him. I discovered that the floor dents easily, as my group tried to get their nails hammered all the way in as quickly as possible. Anyway, the night ended talking to Kristy, finishing my book, being up late enough to be on when Grace got on, and getting to sleep way too late. Then, today was work with Charles, then going downtown to pick up Kat, wandering around Rice U (near where I tango) window shopping, then Italian for dinner (the turkish place is closed on mondays, much to my disappointment and Kat's relief; she hadn't felt adventurous in terms of food today), then to Jazz at Helios, but we were early, so we stopped at Half-price books, and I got several things, including these little matching bibles, one in english the other in french, and Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable which has all sorts of cool definitions for things. For example, "aback" comes from a nautical term where the sail gets blown back into the mast and prevents the ship from moving forward, and Abaton is a term for a place of antiquity that is hard to reach, coming from Greek terms for "not" and "I go". Very cool [laughs]. The jazz was great, an upright bass, an acoustic guitar, and drums. Very experimental in rhythm, a little too much drums sometimes, but still great. we had to leave early because both too tired. plan to go there often. Off to bed, blogger. sleep well. dream of sweet and wonderful things.
