So my RA from last year got engaged this weekend. Go figure. Get old, get girlfriend, get engaged. Congrats Aaron and Jamie!
Update: This unhappened later.
… nobody is around today. The hall is empty. Fine with me. I spent half the day in Omaha hanging out with Tim. Had a nice lunch on the way out of town at a Chinese place. The rice wasn’t sticky enough for appropriate chopstick usage. In essence, it wasn’t completely authentic, but it was still decent.
Went to a Japanese shop and picked up some Pocky sticks (yummy), some Calpis (see earlier posts about it), and a little mug thing.
Picked up The Lonely Position of Neutral by Trust Company, Who Needs Pictures by Brad Paisley, and Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park at Best Buy. (It’s not the best buy, but whatever.) Haven’t listened to ‘em all yet, but they’re decent so far. Trust Company is one of those angst-filled, loud bands. Brad Paisley’s CD is the first country CD I’ve ever owned. Listening to it right now. Linkin Park I’ve heard a ton before and love, but just got around to purchasing it.
Saw The Ring. It’s the best horror movie I’ve ever seen. Seriously, the scene transitions and music provide a bit of spook. There’s actually a lot of parts where you can here the actors talking and there’s silence in the background. This makes it even freakier when there are noises and stuff. The plot is also pretty good. It’s suspenseful and provides plenty of room for analysis. Yeah. See it.
One last comment: I am not sold out to commercialism! …. Really. Don’t look at me like that. I’m gonna try to get a job tomorrow at the place Tim works. If it works out, then I’ll have a bit more business in my life. I’ll also have money to pay for college and other things that are more necessary then CDs. But today… one of those days… yeah.
I just got back from Main Event a few minutes ago. The conference was pretty awesome and a great time of praising God and learning more about what it means to live for him. A few different areas of my life really stood out as things which I’m being selfish with and need to surrender to him… relationships and direction in life particularly. Galatians 2:20… “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. The life I now life in the flesh I live by faith in the son of God who loves me and gave himself for me.” Only one worthwhile way I can think of to live, and that’s doing what he wants me to be doing. The only problem is I’m pretty selfish and want to do things my way, and that conflicts with living a good life and doing things for God’s glory and not my own.
On a total side note, I’ve been working on a web version of The Navigator’s Topical Memory System and will hopefully be able to post that on here in multiple translations (English Standard Version, New International Version, etc.) within the next few weeks. I’ll let you know.
I’ll include more details about Main Event later.
Sorry, no dice today, otherwise I’d roll up something interesting and shove it in your direction. I’ll be out of town this weekend as well, then Monday and Tuesday are fall break so I’ll be chilling out a lot and hopefully doing something interesting. Latez.
ten hour of sleep! it still too little! I wake up but head still feels like it’s wrapped by a paper bag. I fix it now! *thwack* grooooan…
