(no subject)
Crazy (but boring) story about my lucky incident yesterday: I walked all the way down to the metro stop to go to school to finish up my fotography portfolio. I realized once I was all the way there that I'd left my wallet, including my monthly pass, at home. I was really not looking forward to spending the next hour going back and getting it, but as I walked out of the metro stop, I saw an unused metro card on the ground. I just used that and then waited to go home until the night busses started running (they never check for passes on the bus, only the subway). I've never seen an unused subway ticket on the ground before.
I need to stop coughing! My ribcage is starting to hurt. Especially in the general area where I fractured it the first time I had bronchitis. Umm...
This afternoon I went to the Villa Borghese (huuuuge nice park that is kinda reminiscent of Central park) and took a nap in the sun while some guy played a saxophone. Good times. I predict a lot of my afternoons for the next few weeks will be like this.
I just watched this 40 minute documentary called The Lord's Boot Camp. (It's from the director of Jesus Camp.) There's a bunch of teenagers and preteens who go to this boot camp in Florida and then go to other countries for a month to do missionary work, or who spend that time in the U.S. "saving" people. While there are obviously a lot of things that I don't like about this camp, there is something that I like a lot about the idea of sending teenagers from the U.S. and sending them to poor countries to see how so much of the rest of the world lives. Too bad the message stops at "these starving kids who don't have enough blankets for the winter nights just have to believe in God and Jesus." Also, I really like the drug addict with the attitude problem, and the "my other shirt is clean" t-shirt (even though I'd probably find her annoying in real life).
