it's wednesday. i wish it was friday. i don't have much to say. saw this sign today (it was at the house where jack lived. jack is a cat with kitty leukemia, which apparently is a sexually transmitted disease in felines). i just thought i would share. have a great day.

well the summer is almost over. and it's hard to believe. i am halfway through my class. i have a B+ average. i got to spend an extended weekend with crystal and finley. i am without a car. so i am riding a bike to school. i love it. no, really, it's a lot of fun. and good exercise, and cheap. so that's cool.

i want to share a few of my favorite songs from the summer up to now. as far as number one song, the radio hit that i just can't get enough of (last year's favorite was 'umbrella', and the year before that 'promiscuous girl') this year is lil' wayne's lollipop. and you can hear that on any radio in the country.

but as far as the rest goes, here are two of my most favorite from the summer...

this is from the group MGMT and it's an amazing album

this is from coldplay's latest. i had pretty much given up on them. and then they made this...

crystal is shopping for home furnishings right now in memphis, and decorating our new apartment, and getting things unpacked and organized, and i'm stuck here with nothing to do with it. and i hate it. i am so excited to see our new place. i need so badly to see crystal and finley. two more days and it's back to indiana...


i just discovered the joys of podcasts. driving back and forth to indiana has given me a lot of time to listen. and sometimes i just have to turn the music off. i considered some books on tape, but that's expensive and wouldn't serve any purpose after i was finished with it. but then i found some of my favorite shows from npr on itunes as free podcasts. what's better than that, a new free episode each week...

so i am now constantly up to date with





pretty cool!

did anyone happen to see the MLB homerun derby last night. i have been pretty good about abstaining from the television (which is proved true by the fact that i made an A (and was in the top 10%) on the first test this week). But last night, while i was waiting anxiously for my professor to post the grades online, i sat and watched the derby on ted's neat hd tv. what josh hamilton did was amazing, and definitely worth reading about, and watching (in case you missed it ... watch and read it here on ESPN ) and it was cool to see him give all the glory to God.


so anyway, now i'm back in the library, studying for the next test, counting down the days (three) till i get to see crystal and finley again, wishing i was there in memphis helping them organize our home.

i took off friday for indiana to see my girls for the weekend. it all went by to quickly. it was so good to see crystal though, it was worth the drive. Finley was so excited to see me, and that made my day. but now i'm back in TN studying studying studying...

on the way back from evansville, mom texted me and told me i might want to come back through lexington ky, cause there was some trouble on I-40. i would still be sitting on the road, they closed I-40 for dozens of miles for the entire weekend while they tried to clean up the chemical spill and keep it from blowing up, or turning to acid.
