this evening...
we went to baja fresh b/c i had this coupon that fed us both for $2. can't beat that. talked, laughed and had a great time just being. then we went to half price books. it was actually a disappointing trip! it's the first time i can remember in a very long time being let down by the selection (or better said- the quality of the selection). NO books on rwanda (see post from tuesday)? weird. all told- we actually got out of there in less than an hour. a record for me.

change gears
i want to begin a practice to post quotes that i like. the reason for their selection may vary widley. they could be silly- to make me laugh b/c i'm taking myself too seriously at the given moment. for the most part, i find myself appreciating words from people who've gone before me that address topics that require bravery or that provide somesort of impetus to move. i should mention that i'd like to post images as well of art that i like or that makes me think- but i can't seem to figure out how to do that. this guy tried to teach me last week on AOL IM but it doesn't archieve and i forget what he said and now i can't do it... but i've gotten off track-

i'll call this portion the "chewable vitamin". chewable b/c it may be thought-provoking; and vitamin b/c it will hopefully move me, and perhaps you towards action or change.

ofcourse- as you can probably guess- this is not an original idea. i've borrowed it. but i gave up being original awhile ago when i discovered i couldn't be... plus, people often say stuff of meaning way better than me. so here we go...

chewable vitamin
