I'm going Red

-
Possibly. well, definitely, but if it looks awful there will only be a 24 hour period or so until i can lighten it back up during which i will be wearing a ballcap. darkish red brown actually. we'll see.

I'm definitely buying some organic toothpaste.

I'm probably going to see Twilight on Friday night.

Want a cool shirt? Check out Threadless. i love their designs.

That's all i got. and i really am 32. :)

  1. Well, I read back through your blog and, although I can say that our political views vary widely, and the fact that you are way younger than you are saying you are, I find that Kath-I mean, Katie was right. :D

Fahrenheit 451

-
Sometimes I really want to smack myself. In the head, relatively hard, to leave bruises. Usually it happens when I either realize something that I should have figured out long before or when I read something and I am upset about what I've been missing.

That happened last night when I finished Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. How could I get through 20 years of serious reading life and not have read this? How did I manage to go through the last few years without such a relevant, modern book in my mental arsenal? I want to grab everyone I know and make them read it.

King Henry's former friends and confidante's have rebelled against him for various reasons, led by the Earl of Northumberland and his son Henry Percy, also called Harry or Hotspur. King Henry calls his men to fight: Prince Hal swears to redeem himself by earning glory in combat; Falstaff does his best to take care of himself.


The production was fantastic. I immediately added Part 2 onto my library request list. You don…
