A sudden change of weather. I know, you've noticed. It was stinking hot today. And i loved it. Just pure warmth, and breezy happiness. Just look at the sunny bliss next to these words, and my brother's crappy car. Unfortunately, today i couldn't spend a WHOLE lot of time outside, but a good amount. You see, i have just been pounded with assignments for school. A creative project involving creating a soundtrack for Romeo & Juliet(half-page explanations for each song and citations), an acting scene to be rehearsed in 4 days and performed on Friday, a 3-4 page science essay on our school's stormwater management..yeah, it's a lot. But i came home today and started working on stuff. Got my outline for my research paper done(due Wed.) and my list of soundtrack songs, and two song explanations done. After this, my dad unfortunately was too tired to take me on a nice drive like we used to. So i went for a long bike ride, a lone rider, observing the cute little neighborhoods near mine. I like seeing the little houses and nice weirdo people doing random stuff. It's calming, i suppose. Leaves me alone to my thoughts. I came back home and did more homework. Afterwards, i got up from my work desk area and found this on the couch...My lazy brother, tired from HIS large bike trek. 
He wanted to bike. I wanted to work. But i got some stuff done, and i had some energy, so i decided to go. We went on a long bike ride downtown at night where he lost me and i nearly had a heart attack. He goes too far ahead, you see. Luckily i stayed in one spot long enough for me to realize we went over the bridge. We went under the bridge, pretty cool, i guess. Lights in the river. Random girl talking on the phone at the iron works foundry building. It was almost erie, the windy night, random people, quietly wandering. But, welcoming as it was warm. Then we went and got Pizza Hut where these buffoons took an hour to make our pizza because they didn't even start yet. Dopey bulls. Then the pizza on my lap made me sweat. And now i am here. Oh, would you like to see my work snack? I've gotten back into potato skins. Yep. Salty, cheesey, BACONey. Everything that is holy in foods. 
I love Jim Gaffigan. He's a pale, chubby comedian. He has a funny cartoony voice and has innocent food jokes. A lot about bacon, which i appreciate. "I bet if you put bacon bits on a strip of bacon, you could travel back in time." - Jim Gaffigan. Listen to Babys by Bon Iver. There is a really beautiful part in the middle, after all the piano clanginess. Nick got a detention from his science teacher for calling middle schoolers fat. Not to their face. Just about them, as they rode by in a bus and such. I think it's funny. It's always nice to have a short walk with Jake, Nick's younger brother, when i have to walk him halfway home. Do you want to see a scandalous picture of me and my new hot chick? Good.
