One of my roommates went to Stanford. Living in the Bay Area you end up knowing quite a lot of people who went to Stanford. If I were living in Seattle I would end up knowing a hundred people who went to UW. It's a weird thing after being from the Northwest because from my experience, although I think we have good public education options, our outlook on higher education and college is bit more... dare I say... casual? We want the best education, but it's not like we have the past four generations breathing down our throat to go to an Ivy League school, because that's what they did.
And really, that's just a lot of the west coast thinking. It's all a bit more casual. Anyway, because my roommate when to Stanford he gets the Alumni magazine every month. This thing is packed of awesome articles. They are interesting, and insightful, and even sometimes challenge their school for more answers. It seems like a nice magazine of actual journalism. My Alumni magazine I get every month is a quarter of the size, and mainly all light feature articles. Granted I know my University is probably an eighth of the size of Stanford, but still!

Crystal Bowersox is pretty talented
I don't have a tv, so I don't watch idol. I do however like to check in every now and again - mainly for the off the wall comments from the judges. Here is Crystal Bowersox singing and playing very very well.
the best video online right now
if you haven't seen it by now, you will. i thought i would just add to the hoopla-
oh snap, girl scout cookies!
Damn it. Every year I get sucked into the same thing. The overly fatty and overly delicious snacks.
My co-workers little girl was selling them, so of course that meant Dad was selling them. He put a sign up sheet in the kitchen, and that damn thing was filled so fast. A month later, and they arrived today. Thin mints and tagalongs, yum.

sunny sunday
Had a great brunch on Sunday. One of my roommates is moving out, and a different one moving in. We thought we would celebrate with a full on carb-fest sugar-tastic Brunch. Crepes, scones, German dumplings with cherries. There was a quiche and fruit salad thrown in for good measure.
It was a great start to a beautiful day. I took advantage of the sun and had a "yard" sale. I took all my unused crap from my room, laid it on the sidewalk, and somehow collected money from people who think they will have some use for it. It's incredible, people just come up and hand you a dollar for a used CD.
Not my most favorite, but definitely creative.
