Reading this blog has made people want to kill themselves, so if you are easily depressed, perhaps you should find something more uplifting to do, like watch a Holocaust documentary or read a Cormac McCarthy novel.

the white death

i know. i didn't post last night. so i'll try to make up for it by posting twice today. or something.

well, the white death is upon us again. we're getting out after lunch (around 1 PM), just in time to hit all the traffic and crawl through bad cincy drivers for an hour or two. joy. plus, the man movie night has been canceled. for a second time. yesterday they canceled it because of the threat of weather until kurt and i called them nancies and suggested maybe we should watch films like beaches or terms of endearment or a walk to remember or the notebook. so they said we would play it by ear. and since the white death is now upon us, they have canceled it again. so i guess i'll have to find something else to occupy my time tonight.

i broke down and talked to dennis wednesday night about "be our guest." turns out we're waiting to hear if we'll have the costumes we want before assigning roles. but if all goes well, i will be....

a corkscrew.

(insert your own joke here)

i cannot wait to see what that costume looks like. and am wondering what it will be like to dance in it. couldn't find anything with a quick google search. we'll see.

i feel like my lent has been be lacking. i surely haven't put enough time into the positive side of lent (other than the writing almost every day). i haven't been seeking to follow isaiah 58 as i should. i'm not going to beat myself over it - enough guilt already in my life - but with only a couple weeks left in this time, i'm feeling perhaps i didn't listen enough to God before starting this journey. or maybe it's become merely a ritual. hard to battle against that i suppose but still disheartening.

bell rang. time for not eating lunch. two more hours to go and it keeps getting worse outside. my prediction: i won't get home until after 4:00 today. fearful bunch of nancy drivers.
