Art

Last weekend was the Rock Rapids Art Show. I didn't submit anything, but I told Meg that she should submit the largest piece that she made last semester in her ceramics class. She got second place in sculpture for the piece. I would take a photo of it to put here, but our digital camera died suddenly and mysteriously. It's being fixed now... I don't know when we'll get it back.

Our art show is up. It's the last of three shows, each featuring five senior art majors. Check it out if you're in the area.

Meg's Birthday

Tomorrow is Meg's birthday. We're going to go to Nitwits Comedy Club to (hopefully) share a few laughs. That is, if she's feeling better than she was today. Seems like some people never get sick unless it's their birthday and/or Christmas.

Anyhow... if anybody reads this yet tonight, they'll know what Meg is getting for her birthday from me before she does... but i just wanted to share this tidbit: A certain local store that may or may not be a part of an evil empire has in stock a CD that is not supposed to be released until next Tuesday. I guess this wouldn't be so strange, except for the fact that their CD selection is usually completely worthless and lacking in anything worth listening to... although they do have a lovely set of hymn CDs that comes in a pink tin with a Thomas Kinkade painting on the cover (I feel like I need to cover my bases here and make sure that everyone understands that I am being sarcastic here). So anyhow... I thought I'd take a look over in the CDs to see if they might have a Natalie Merchant CD that Meg doesn't have yet... or maybe something else that she might like. So there it was... the new Bright Eyes CD.

Strangest thing ever. Maybe that's why I can never find any worthwhile CDs there... maybe they put them on the shelf before they're supposed to be released and then on the day of the release when I go to look for the CD, they're sold out already.

I guess I could be totally off on this and maybe they changed the release dates, but on Amazon and iTunes, "Pre-order" is still the only option.

In other news (can I call my shopping & movie watching activities news?), Mic & I watched the Director's Cut of Donnie Darko tonight. Unfortunately it's been so long since I've seen the regular one, I'm not sure how many of the differences I was aware of. Still a very good movie though. I'm pretty sure I like the Director's cut better, but as I said... it's been a while.

Alright, time for bed...
Goodnight!
