Tehatchapi, Indie and The Living Art Show

You know, that is more than likely spelled wrong, (I honestly didn't realize 'spelt' was not a word...)

Oh yes, Indiana Jones on Friday was amazing. There were 17 of us there. That's a new record. Let's see... Jew, Michael(Jew's Brother), Woody, Dakota, Smity, Paige, Taylor(Paige's Sister), Brendan, Caitlin, Autumn, Nikki, Margarita, Webster, Lisa(I did NOT expect her father to look like that), Michelle, Prances and Myself.

The living art show... Not much I can say about it. It was pretty alright all and all. After some stressful times it got all set up and went through all right (though I did have to reduce my speech)
My speech went from: "What do you think of when you think of death? Probably not bountiful fields of grain, but believe it or not there is a connection. This is The Veteran in a New Field by the American Painter Winslow Homer. It was painted in the wake of the Civil War with the suffering and destruction still fresh in America's mind. Homer himself was a veteran of that war, giving it a very personal undertone. The man in the painting is a veteran, who has seen death up close and personal. He carries a scythe, which is traditionally paired with the image of death, but is also a vital tool of harvest and regrowth. By juxtaposing these conflicting meanings in one man, Homer sought to portray the sense of recovery after the polarizing war."

To this: "This is the Veteran in a New Field by the American Painted Winslow Homer. It was painted in the wake of the Civil War with the suffering and destruction still fresh in America's mind.

Homer sought to portray the sense of recovery after the polarizing war."
This all spoken in a really rushed manner. I Also managed to memorize Nikki and Zachass' speeches by standing next to them. (covered for Nikki when she went to give out snacks).

After the show Nikki and I hung out with Hutch and LeBeau for a bit. Fun times.

So I had to run to Kerwin's house two times on Saturday, Once to drop of The Stranger and the other time to pick up a cord to get my PS2 to work.

Went to other house around 5ish, got back around 1ish, that's the least amount of time I've ever been up there I swear.

On the way home I had a weird conversation with the checkout guy (who had to be at least 5 years older than me) while I was getting a slurpee.

Him: "Is that all for the beautiful Lady?"
Me: "mmhmm" (not paying attention)
Him: Some weird comment about liking my hair and it fitting me.
Me: some crack about it being blue and going swimming too much.
Him: "Have a... Beautiful day."
Me: "back at 'cha"
Then I proceeded to go to the door and try to pull open the doors when you're supposed to push, Whoops. Next time I go in there I think I'll bring my brother in with me.

I was more exhausted when I woke up then when I went to sleep, bleh.

-Peace

Oh yes, Finished my World Lit. Sartre and Kafka are now my bitches. Just have the ToK essay left.
