Check out my friend David Seagull's awesome tune "Troubled Times." There's also a hilarious skit "My Peonies" on his YouTube channel. I hope to see many more videos from David.

• Pride of Carthage
• Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana
• The Journeys of Socrates

Historical fiction is my favorite genre now. I've read lots about Rome and it was great to get the other perspective of the Second Punic war.

Historical fiction is one of my favorite movie and book genres. I enjoyed this without laughing or crying once. I forgot to take the movie back till now. Hmmm...if I take it back now I might as well pick up another movie to watch tonight! Yeah, Mama's boy: fun movie and awesome soundtrack.

John Cusack is one of my favorite actors. I loved the movie. I laughed and cried.

My friend Emma Rainey pointed out this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/25/magazine/25internet-t.html

I surprised myself by reading all 10 pages and a couple pages of comments. The majority of the comments I read (which granted is only about 20/1000) question why the NYTimes even ran this article and shrug it off as a sad, trivial detour in the life of a telented young lady who is finally coming clean and getting on with her life.
