Today was a nice day. much better than yesterday. slept till almost 12, woke up and screwed around on the internets. i got all nice and clean for the first time this week. then i headed to school with matt. he had some transcript requests to fax and i had to buy 2 more notebooks to fill up over the summer as part of my homework for my class next fall. yes i have homework over the summer. but it's fun homework, like drawing and designing and being inspired and journaling. it's just the intimidating amount in which i need to do it. i have never filled a whole sketch book, only half way. maybe if i sketched every night for 30 min. it's been good for the IMBC. bloggin every day, focusing, acomplishing. it's been good for me. tangent, but a good one, sorry.

so after our business was taken care of we got sandwiches at safeway and walked over to the giant cemetary and had a picnic. then i showed matt all my favorite mosoleums, like these ones...

and my favorite part about these amazing buildings is the metal work that is done on the doors.

Matt and i noticed a lot of symbology today. angels/saints pointing up while holding an anchor. an upside-down lit torch. angels or saints holding a book or cup or scroll or a combo of those. the snake eating it's tail i know, most of the various religious symbols i know but those ones were a mystery to me. if anyone knows, tell me. i am all about learning new stuff.

tonight i think i am going to start one of the books on my reading list. i think i want to start this one...

The Seven Daughters of Eve

Bryan Sykes

Mama Hughes gave it a good review, so i bought it online for cheap. Its about the scientific discovery of our genetic ancestry. i'm very interested to read it, i'll tell you more as i read more, or i might just let you read it for yourself. any who, on to the topic of the day!

Topic of the day:
Were you a part of a clique in high school?
Well i don't know if you could call us much of a clique. we were marching band nerds. we were considered an extra curricular activity. we were a tight group though. well at one point, allison and i were the ring leaders and we had a crowd of underclassmen cronies to do our bidding. see high school wasn't all that bad!
