Yes, I often use this blog to record randomness. This is good for me and hopefully you find my lists at least somewhat interesting (if not, leave now and come back for some more thoughtful content tomorrow or the next day). Hopefully when Bryce gets his head out of the books (he’s studying for his licensure exams in the PCA) he’ll blog something wonderfully thought-provoking about his sermon on Sunday or something else equally enticing.

– After gourging on chocolate biscuits after church until 10.30 pm a bunch of us crammed into the Hays’ car and came over to our flat (Sarah and I enjoyed sharing yet another front seat together! haha, this seems to happen a lot); we ate more food and goodies and listened to Derek Webb’s newest CD (which we’ve been listening to non-stop), “I See Things Upside Down”. Good, good stuff.
– We actually cleaned up our flat! Clothes that have been in clean piles (but not put away) were put away, towels washed, dishes all cleaned - amazing!
– We’ve watched a number of movies to just ‘veg’ recently, which is amazing considering the work we should be doing, and, this time last year we had watched about 1 movie in 3 months.
– I keep falling asleep trying to read - it can be 11 am or 11 pm.
– I’m learning how to function on 6-7 hours of sleep a night - this is amazing to me, but may explain the falling asleep bit.
– It’s taken me about 2 weeks to get through 30 pages of Berkeley’s philosophy; it just doesn’t grip me and with each paragraph numbered, it’s really easy to stop and not pick it up.
– My Mom has shingles!
– Sometimes I think people are just stupid. All of ‘em, including me. We think we’re smart and intelligent, thoughtful and considerate - but mostly, we’re not any of those things and we fail to evaluate our actions and our words, our thoughts and our ideals and how utterly none of these meet up with any authentic regularity.
– I don’t want to live in a suburb - ever. (You know the saying, “Please, God, don’t send me to Africa?”, well, how ’bout, “Don’t send me into suburbia, please!”)
– I haven’t been into the fall spices as of late; a few months ago I couldn’t get enough cinnamon, ginger, smells of pumpkin pie or apple cider. Now I’ve moved on to chocolate. Or tea - several times daily (but there’s nothing new about that!)
– I’m not as crazy over the colour red as I used to be a year or two ago - but am still quite keen on it.
– I think those poncho things are stupid. You look like you’re wearing a blanket.
– I love J.Crew - except the 80s flashback pointy shoes with socks combo.

There you have it: the superficial, the random, the likes and dislikes of a 20-something postgrad. Come back later for thoughts on life. And now, for some reason, reading some postcolonial theory sounds interesting; so whatever wackiness has come over me, I must jump on it when I actually feel like looking into some literary theory - Cheers!
