Yesterday I went with Corey and Nathan to see Hot Fuzz. It was genius. Possibly the best comedy I have ever seen (up there with Little Miss Sunshine.) In a clever way, too. If you liked Shaun of the Dead at all, then go see Hot Fuzz now! Only after seeing movies like this do you realize how bad most American comedy is. I mean, I like American ( Read more... )

It has been awhile since my last update, but that's because not alot has happened recently in my life. I was accepted to University of Washington. It doesn't surprise me, but UW is definitely not my first choice school. A couple of months ago I wasn't entirely sure on what my first choice would be, but now I'm almost positive I'll go to Middlebury ( Read more... )

I'm excited that I'll finally be able to start reading for fun again. For the past few months I haven't read anything but fairly dense and intellectual books, "Empires of the Word: A Language History of the World" for example. Now I can start on books I might really enjoy. Kite Runner, Istanbul, and Voltaire's Candide are all on my list. Vamanos!

It's cold up here. Below freezing. Quiero nieve, dammit!

I guess I should kinda update and fill everybody in on my life because it's SOOO interesting. On Friday we (Mom, Katie, Rosa, and myself) drove to Seattle after school for a concert. Jamie Cullum was the main act, but we were really there for Josh Ritter. He played an excellent but tragically short set. Wings was espescially a highpoint because the ( Read more... )
