ACCORDING TO ZAC

Traffic crawls Cell Phone Calls Talk radio screams at me through my tinted window I see a little girl, rust red minivan She's got chocolate on her face Got little hands, and she waves at me, yeah she smiles at me. Well hello world How you been? Good to see you my old friend Sometimes I feel, Cold as steel Broken like I'm never gonna heal I see a light, a little hope in a little girl, well hello world Everyday I drive by a little white church, its got these little white crosses like angels in the yard Maybe I should stop on in, say a prayer Maybe talk to God like he is there Oh I know he's there, yeah I know he's there Well hello world How you been? Good to see you my old friend, Sometimes I feel as cold as steel And broken like I'm never gonna heal I see a light, a little grace, little faith unfurl. Well hello world Sometimes I forget what living's for, And I hear my life through my front door, and I'll be there, o...

You just have to do the best you can with what you've got. That's all there is to it.

This one time, I blogged about a Costco adventure I'd write about later. This time , to be exact. One disgruntled blog reader commented and complained that I probably wouldn't actually blog it, since I said I'd blog about my adventure in a busted elevator on campus. Well... it's true that I never got around to blogging the elevator experience... It would just take freaking forever to type up, okay! But this is short, and something that I found hilarious. Without further ado, the Costco story: Here I go, cruising into Costco on Friday afternoon. This is the fourth time in two weeks there. That is entirely too many times to go to Costco during the holiday season. But, I was going to look for something specific you can only get at Costco (cheap movie tickets, FYI). Also, I had plans for lunch. I love Costco pizza (which I never ended up getting, the line was too long). Anyway, as I'm walking in, I hear a mom say this to her child: They're handicapped. It mean...

I had another funny experience at Costco today. I'll blog it soon, after I settle in to my post-finals routine.

I was going through my calendar today ( tangent: I really love the way Google does calendars. It's easy, clean looking, will email you reminders, etc. Since my school email is operated by Google, I imported my personal Gmail calendar into my school calendar, and now always have everything I need in one convenient place. I love it.). I can't help but completely love how empty January seems. I have been so crazy busy this semester, I can't believe it. Even next week has less crap to take care of, and most of it is painless. I'm so ready for a break. Just one more final! Let's observe the progression of craziness beginning in October: :: :: :: I know January will fill up once school starts and stuff, but for now I will just look forward to having a clean slate. :) And yes, all of this blogging is in an effort to avoid studying.

I was at Costco today and heard this: Middle aged woman to husband: I don't need you by my side at all times! Middle aged man to wife: I know! And I wasn't even eavesdropping since they said it above normal talking volume. I feel like that's how I'm going to be when I'm crotchety and middle aged. I kind of look forward to that point. Haha. This is also a quick note to everyone in the Costco parking lot today. It would have been really hard for you to have: driven slower stolen a better spot walked in the middle of the road, blocking traffic and generally piss me off more than you did. But I picked up our Christmas cards (that I designed -- they're awesome), and was seriously surprised that the people inside didn't piss me off as much as normal! Overall, it was a nice Costco trip, which is generally kind of rare. I was even kind of happy when I left the store. Weird! Hahaha.

Arizona is still trying (and doing a poor job) at creating the delusion of changing seasons. Tomorrow offers a new hope, since it's only supposed to be 59!
