"Oh, snap! A Crunch bar..."

I think being enthusiastic about even the small things in life helps you appreciate it a little more.

...That, and no one will dare stand between you and chocolatey goodness.

I had so much fun selling shirts today...both teams sold out, which I think is awesome. It was really cool getting to talk to so many different people, even if they didn't all buy shirts. I must've told the Bob Day shirt origin story at least a dozen times, but somehow it didn't get old. Plus all together, we raised over $1000. What a blessing.

I went to the art museum with Linda and David tonight...that was fun. It's been too long since I've been to a museum, and there were the coolest things there. We walked in one room, and there was these huge chandelier. The little card said it was made of over a hundred seperate pieces, and some of the white glass would just melt into pink and blue.... The craftsmanship on it was breathtaking, especially the flowers.

The Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit was cool too. It was crazy seeing things that he had designed in the 30's or 40's that looked like something you might see in a modern style house today. There was this tureen that he designed in 1915 that Tiffany's manufactured in 1990. (He also designed probably the coolest hanging lamp ever. I want one just like it to put in my future study where I can hatch diabolical plans under this thing. Let's just say it was very Vader chic.)

...Then there was this painting of Saint Felix. Saint Felix was most likely martyred by beheading. Linda and I looked at the picture for a little while, then I murmured finally, "Okay...apparently Saint Felix is in heaven right now holding his own head...with blood spurting out of his neck..."

His divinely glowing neck, I should add.

I think I should just leave it at that.
