Random scattered thoughts to catch up on

Life is busy. Within the last few weeks I started school. Blogging has not been much on my mind until today.

Before I left for vacation, Joe and I went out to see the Dark Knight. It was appropriately disturbing and quite good. I don't think I'll ever wear makeup for the rest of my life, though. I came out of the theater quite woozy for lack of having eaten lunch. Mexican food proved medicinal (thanks Joe).

Chemistry, so far, contrary to my friends' many warnings, is not hard nor time consuming. Yeah, yeah, if any of you read this and start to groan: I acknowledge the fact that it will get harder. Just, for now, it's not torture. I don't mind it. Life is good in that respect. The most interesting thing we've done so far, though, is burn magnesium, so I'm thinking that when we actually start to see some explosions and get sound effects then chemistry itself will be harder. That's my theory on the direct proportion of interesting-things-burning and the difficulty of chemistry class...

Today I felt like such a book character. The weather was perfect--exactly what I picture perfect weather to be like. Cool, breezy, no clouds, and it smells like autumn. Yay! After school I put my stuff in a basket on the back of my bike and went to the library to do my homework. I also went over to this little Asian grocery store called something like "La Village Market" that I absolutely adore. They have the most awesome drinks there and everything's really inexpensive. I just need my drink of choice (only there were so many Asian soft drinks with smiling pieces of fruit on the bottles that I really couldn't decide) to complete the whole dorky-girl book-character aura. Even my outfit was perfect. I love my brown jacket. I think I might actually start writing on that...the atmosphere seemed straight out of a book. Maybe that was just the weather messing with my brain though.

As far as art goes, I have not done much unless you count the Sharpie scribblings on the cover of my school notebook. I think I have a flying rabbit, several dogs, random shapes and flowers, the phrase "I cannot brain today; I have the dumb" scribbled all over it so far, and today I added a quote from Percy Bysshe Shelley in English Lit class:

Sow seed, -but let no tyrant reap;
Find wealth, -let no imposter heap;
Weave robes, -let not the idle wear;
Forge arms, in your defence to bear.

I found one of my new favorite artists on Cordair: I especially like "The Letter."
