A word to the wise...

Hello friends!
I just wanted to share with you my new found love of NPR's "All Songs Considered" podcast.
I especially love the Tiny Desk Concerts.
Yum.
They are delicious, mostly.
I really love the T.D.C's of the Avett Brothers, Sondre Lerche, the Tallest Man On Earth, and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. You should check them out! If you have iTunes, you just type in "all songs considered" and voila you can download them! If not, you can go to NPR's website at http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast_detail.php?siteId=15842121
and I think that you can download them to other things, too.
Enjoy (hopefully)!

Check it, yo'

i can't wait.

I like to think my dad would be quite proud....

Dear reader....
(brb I have to get my laundry.)
MMm warm laundry.
Okay back to the point.
I think my dad (well actually both my parentals) would be very proud to know that I am a member of the yellow bike E.M.T. program at Eckerd! My first day was today!!! And I got a shirt. WOOOOOO.
Perhaps someday I will take a picture and post it. The shirt is very, bright, yellow! Basically what we do is go about campus finding yellow bikes to fix, we have the yellow bike hospital, where we take inventory of them sometimes, or take them if they need more than a chain re-attaching. It's quite awesome if I do say so myself.
SO.
This weekend! I went to stay with my aunt and uncle, Daisy and Billy and oh boy are they just absolutely wonderful!. They came to pick me up and everything!! We just relaxed mostly, and aund Daisy and I went to see "A Christmas Carol" in 3D with Jim Carrey, which was quite good. And I had also never seen a three-D movie, so that was a new experience.  AND aunt Daisy made some DELICIOUS food, most notably an "apricot-curry" chicken dish with yummmmmmy mashed potatos and some veggies. So good! It was a wonderful weekend with Sadsack and Prissy, who were VERY excited to see me! They were soooooooo cute squared. It was suuuuch a gooooood weeeekennnnnnd : )
That's all for now!
OH here's a picture of sadsack prissy:

WOOOOOFRIDAY!

Congratulations ev'rbody on making it through the work week!
Happy Friday!

Hahah read this quote from David!!

HELLLLLO, friends!
A few days ago I was researching the artist Jacques Louis David, for a western heritage project. He was politically active during the French Revolution, and when the Bourbon monarchy was restored later he was sort of forced into exile in the Low Countrie (I think).  There he had many important people vying for his talents as a historic painter and portraitist. After hearing about one such offer from the English duke of Wellington, David said:

"I have not waited seventy years to defile my brush. I would rather cut off my hand than paint an Englishman"

Such sass, no? Vraiment drole, non? Hahhaa. Very dramatic, too. I really really like David's paintings, actually. I like his style, which is neoclassic. Many of his works can be found in history books, such as....

 

"The Death Of Marat," left, and "The Death Of Socrates," right, and below the "Tennis Court Oath," a portrait of Napoleon, and the painting "The Coronation of Napoleon and Josephine."

 Halloween was very fun. I cannot believe that  I was able to make my candy from home, which I got right at the beginning of October, last ALL the way until Halloween. I actually still have some left over, woot woot. Saturday night the school planned a "Fox Halloween" next to Fox Hall and in the quad, which was pretty fun. They had a hilarious balloon artist there, who made me into Mickey Mouse. Laura was Minnie Mouse, and Grace was a rabbit. It was awesome, and each person's balloons took less than five minutes to complete. It was crazy, crazy! Annnnnd I had a tail, hahahahha. Here is a photog of me, Grace, and Laura:

I had ears, a nose, and a tail of black balloons, and red pants with yellow balloons.

Well that's all I can think of for now.
