all of this has happened before, and it will all happen again...
















oh man. today is the day. battlestar galactica season 4 premieres tonight at 9pm. i'm so frakking pumped. for those of you who have never watched the show, it's not too late to start. there are some great videos that can catch you up (like "What the frak is going on with BSG). all that said, i have the ambrosia brewed, the gemenese flag unfurled, and my viper is primed. let's get some frakking BSG.

crazysuperwhelmed

for the three of you who actually read my blog, i just thought i would pass along the fact that i'm overwhelmed this week. no...i'm crazysuperwhelmed. i need for it to be saturday at 2pm. preview day will be over and i will be able to breath again...sort of. it's just that time of year where i can't seem to find a moment to just relax. i mean spring break was kind of relaxing, if you don't count working and giving tours the whole time. i'm just looking forward to the month of may. may will be extraordinary. i'll be out of class and enjoying life before summer session begins. i'll be living with my boys at the new house (hopefully).

but for now i just need to make it through this week. i'll take that. there may be a bubble bath in my near future.

our earth hour

so i'm sitting in my pitch-black apartment preparing to shut down my computer as i observe earth hour 08. pretty exciting. i really do feel like i'm doing something, however small, to facilitate the idea that it's ok for christians to care about the environment with fervor. i wish i had really done more before now to get my friends and family involved. hmmm. i guess earth hour doesn't just have to be a one-time thing, right? why not try this a lot? get loads of people involved. sounds good. ok...time for me to shut everything off.

...i wish i was (java) chipper today...

so i was definitely planning on sitting down to write this long post about how the last two and a half weeks have sucked beyond all reason. there has really been no true cause for this. definitely going to chalk it up to the fact that it's almost spring break.

tomorrow. i just have to make it to 1pm tomorrow. i cannot wait for the break.

yes, i am working the whole week in the admissions office. but do you know what else is happening? i get to spend some quality time with two of my favorite people: amaryah and heather. i'm also going to get to read a lot. i even have a book list for the week:

-on christian liberty by martin luther
-caretakers of our common house by carol lakey hess
-remnant by shane dix and sean williams
-refugee by shane dix and sean williams
-the way of the shepherd by dr. kevin leman
-harry potter and the chamber of secrets
-harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban

i know it is a long list, but all i'm going to be doing during the day is sitting at a desk. all day. i'll also be catching up on battlestar galactica season 3 because season 4 premieres on friday, april 4th.

all that to say, now i'm going to go finish off the java chip ice cream in my freezer and hope for better spirits tomorrow.

ann now for something different...

I was moved today when I found out that my dear friend ann had my blog listed on her blog. I feel like it is my first step toward legitimacy. So, in the spirit of interblog commentating, I now refer to you the brilliant writing of this amazing woman...

a song by me

Tempting Me
by me

It's never easy to let go
to sit and watch while life passes
you by day by day; it's snow clouds
rolling lazily overhead tempting you
with the unimaginable outcome of distress

Suicidal snow drifts pile on both sides
of ordinary sanity forsaken, left behind.
It's freezing in the backseat of this
boring matte chevette.
The clouds keep rolling by, tempting me.

I've been here too many times,
shivering, pen and paper meeting, the
stream of my subconscious thought spilling
and me not knowing what else to say
still writing.
The clouds roll over me, tempting.

Suicidal snow drifts pile on both sides
of ordinary sanity forsaken, left behind.
It's freezing in the backseat of this
boring matte chevette.
The clouds keep rolling by, tempting me.

So this is my last refrain, my last-ditch
effort against the cold that consumes me.
I can't believe it's come to this now.
I'm stuck with no where to go but
out into the blinding dark where
snow clouds pass me by, tempting me.

Suicidal snow drifts pile on both sides
of ordinary sanity forsaken, left behind.
It's freezing in the backseat of this
boring matte chevette.
The clouds keep rolling by, tempting me.

And I give in to the frost on
my slow-beating heart as I drown
in a snow-drift of what ifs.

I give up, I give down, I give in
all around to the me that just
can't fathom who I could be.

Suicidal snow drifts pile on both sides
of ordinary sanity forsaken, left behind.
It's freezing in the backseat of this
boring matte chevette.
The clouds keep rolling by, tempting me.
