I went to see Obama with Dad and Hannah.
John Edwards guest starred as Obama Endorser.
It was awesome.
dude.
Totally jaded now though because those signs? Behind him? The handwritten ones like Women for Obama? Plants. The dude handed them out like an hour before Obama came out. And showed them how to cheer etc.

I am watching TiVo'd episodes of CSI. First episode I watched had Mini Brittney on it. Awesome. She actually got brought up too so it was like she was in the episode. Second episode? Adam and Jamie from the Mythbusters. No mention. No lines. Just thumbs up. It was weird.

I went to AQ's graduation yesterday. The girls (Bekka, Laura and Theresa) all graduated.
Today they moved out. And even though I know that we will keep in touch and I will see them again, it still makes me sad. I hate endings.

Looking at cars as ours is dying/dead. I found one I really want. They say it runs fine, it just doesn't reverse. How much do you need reverse anyway? Just park where you don't have to back up.
So if you guys find/see/hear of any cheap cars... let me know.
I love you all.

Thing I just remembered:
When Hannah and I went to see Don Quixote, we thought during the entire ballet that this one woman was this other chick's mother. But then she suddenly marries/hooks up with this creepy guy. And she is apparently other chick's really old and ugly sister.

Hey remember when I was all "no more writing papers at the last minute and no more staying up until 6 am"?
Well here I am writing a paper. I am trying to wrap it up as much as I can as I have a little time to work on it tomorrow and am pretty tired and sick of it already.

"I used to think the world was broken down by tribes. By black and white. By Indian and white. But I know that isn't true. The world is only broken into two tribes: The people who are assholes and the people who are not."
Anyone else know how angry I am at myself that I did not see this man speak when I had the chance? I am quite upset. He best not keel over before I see him.
Also, how upset am I that I did not go to U of Chicago? Look at this essay prompt: "Don't play what's there, play what's not there." -- Miles Davis (1926-91)
And this one: Chicago professor W. J. T. Mitchell entitled his 2005 book "What Do Pictures Want?" Describe a picture and explore what it wants.
And my favorite: Modern improvisational comedy had its start with The Compass Players, a group of University of Chicago students, who later formed the Second City comedy troupe. Here is a chance to play along. Improvise a story, essay, or script that meets all of the following requirements:
* It must include the line "And yes I said yes I will Yes" (Ulysses, by James Joyce).
* Its characters may not have superpowers.
* Your work has to mention the University of Chicago, but please, no accounts of a high school student applying to the University–this is fiction, not autobiography.
* Your work must include at least four of the following elements:
o a paper airplane
o a transformation
o a shoe
o the invisible hand
o two doors
o pointillism
o a fanciful explanation of the Pythagorean Theorem
o a ventriloquist or ventriloquism
o the Periodic Table of the Elements
o the concept of jeong
o number two pencils
SERIOUS.

Monk
Nick and I have been watching Monk all weekend. I am glad I finally got him to watch and like this show.
Every time Monk talks to his psychiatrist, which happens in almost every episode, I get really sad. Stanley Kamel died last week.
This made me cry, it's a full page ad that the cast of Monk placed in Daily Variety:

In the GRap Press
Canceled Canceled Aquinas lecture a 'missed opportunity,' gay-advocate speaker says
"The college recognizes academic freedom certainly in the classroom," [Balog] said. "But even in the classroom, professors are not supposed to use their activities as a way to attack beliefs of the church."
Aquinas cancels gay-rights speaker
"The programming board had been actively advertising since January and they canceled the morning of the event. It was very disrespectful to Corvino, and to the students that wanted to hear him speak," said junior Bev Pels, 21.
"I think they're not bringing him because there's so much outside pressure. It's not that the administration is homophobic, but the policy appears to be that way and it's alienating to students."
She said organizers are hoping to find a new, off-campus venue that can seat up to 70 people. Corvino has offered to speak for free.
