Maybe a deep theological message.



Earlier in the summer someone changed the marquee at church. I thought it was funny. As if one of the critics of the early church had something to say about the communion practices but not quite...yes i'm just bored and waiting for it to be 10pm so I can go to the pie for a slice of meatball pizza.

lets just talk about the weather



we filmed this on August 12. The weather has been psychotic. Mostly hot hot heat with bursts of hail.

I think I wasted almost an entire year of work on a paper that the Graduate Committee will not pass. I've very frustrated. I was working on something else but I was advised that this paper I've been slaving over would be much easier and quicker. I wish that I had ignored the advice and the pressure (since I later found out that I was ahead of schedule). yup very frustrated. I only have 2 years of funding left, I need to be working on my dissertation not jumping hoops. By the way I think the paper is pretty good.

life...

I've been a big slacker with blogging but I"ll try to put something up later. I've been busy trying to finish up the summer school classes with endless grading and get things in order for the fall semester class. Daniel and I have both been taking advatage of the insurance with visits to the doctor and the dentist.

Lots of craziness has been going on in Utah. Pretty depressing, apparently we think it's okay to abduct and kill kids. There's just been endless reports of kids being killed by adults. Too depressing.

We watched little miss sunshine and while it is definately an R movie we liked it a lot. It was pretty funny with it's own bizarre creativity and social commentary. Many fun parts but thare was lots of "adult" language if that bugs you.

And a good thing. Ava is now out of Jana's tummy. And from the picture on mark's page she's kinda cute, not the normal super smooshy. Woohoo. I've been so excited to find out what her name would be and what she would look like. COngrats to Shaun and Jana!

Sorry that was so jumpy, that's just how my brain is right now, I guess I won't be getting much done today, oh well.
