You all know me. I love movies, and it doesn't take much to please me.

However, this looks like the worst movie of all time.

McKinley Pool Party 2008

This is what happens when my family and margaritas mix:






And, surprising no one, this is what happens when Jon and margaritas mix:








And this is what happens when I'm designated driver because I have class all weekend:

Untitled

From one of my textbooks, as requested:

Like you I
love love, life, the sweet smell
of things, the sky-blue
landscape of January days.

And my blood boils up
and I laugh through eyes
that have known the buds of tears.

I believe the world is beautiful
and that poetry, like bread, is for everyone.

And that my veins don't end in me
but in the unaninimous blood
of those who struggle for life,
love,
little things,
landscape and bread,
the poetry of everyone.

-- Roque Dalton

Finally, Something to Write About

OK so obviously I suck at blogging, mostly because I don't think there's much in my life that is worth putting into words.

However, I've been inspired to post today after having brunch with my old friend Julie yesterday and hearing about her upcoming volunteer expedition to Tanzania as a Kiva Fellow to do work in microfinance.  Microfinance, if you don't know, is kind of a new wave in economic development in Africa (or at least that's what I think...).  Julie is trying to raise $12,000 to fund her trip and her work in Tanzania, and, because I'm unemployed and financially irresponsible, I can't do much to help her out right now.  However, I thought I would put a link to her blog where you can donate as much or as little as you want (every small amount helps) through paypal to help Julie out.  I see it as a way for those of us who can't make the gigantic commitment to quit our jobs and volunteer for 9 months to do it vicariously.  So anyway, here's the link:

I'm know Julie would be incredibly grateful for any help you can give!
