“You see I’m not really a student, I’m rarely, if ever, profound. My ideas of knowledge and going to college are not, on the whole, very sound. But I’ve learned a lot at Virginia; And though I may never go far, I’ll never forget them or ever regret them: My week-ends at old Wahoo-Wah.” -from an old edition of the Corks & Curls (yes, I am still obsessed with UVA yearbooks).
Weekends in Missouri aren't too bad either (the True/False craziness continues here in Columbia...).

Be Good. Do Good.
"Do not worry; eat three square meals a day; say your prayers; be courteous to your creditors; keep your digestion good; exercise; go slow and easy. Maybe there are other things your special case requires to make you happy, but my friend, these I reckon will give you a good life." -Abraham Lincoln

Hot Pants
Lauren's convo with Tom & Tim (little twin boys):
T&T: Why are you wearing funny pants?
Lo: These are running tights; I'm running.
T&T: You should paint a firebolt on them!
Lo: A firebolt?
T&T: Yeah, it might make you go faster.

Early Morning
"This is the earliest I've ever gotten up for a work out." -A substitute spinning instructor complains about his 8:15 a.m. class. He pretty much lost all credibility after that came out of his mouth.

Beach Lovin'

Too Much Going On
"In panic, time stops: past, present and future exist as a single overwhelming force. You then, perversely, want time to appear to run forwards because the 'future' is the only place you can see an escape from this intolerable overload of feeling. But at such moments time doesn't move. And if time isn't running, then all events that we think of as past or future are actually happening simultaneously. That is the really terrifying thing. And you are subsumed. You're buried, as beneath an avalanche, by the weight of simultaneous events." -Engleby, by Sebastian Faulks.
Kind of how I feel at the moment: consumed in exams, papers, interviews, stories, etc., etc., etc.

Daddy's Day
"Father taught us that opportunity and responsibility go hand in hand. I think we all act on that principle; on the basic human impulse that makes a man want to make the best of what's in him and what's been given him. " -Laurence Rockefeller

In Tune
"I forgot about the nursing home party... I promised I would appear with the accordion, ready to honk out Let Me Call You Sweetheart and other appropriate tunes. This usually leads to me being tied up for an unexpectedly long time. Although it would've been fun to crash your party with the accordion... " -Linda apologizes for missing Friday night's apartment bash.

True False
"When our work is over, we are in a position to enjoy all kinds of recreation for our spirits. There are various kinds of contests and sacrifices regularly throughout the year; in our own homes we find a beauty and a good taste which delight us every day and which drive away our cares. Then the greatness of our city brings it about that all the good things from all over the world flow in to us, so that to us it seems just as natural to enjoy foreign goods as our own local products." -Pericles' Funeral Oration (I don't remember where I came across this quote, but it makes me excited for Columbia's True/False Film Fest ... we're all signed up for our movies!).

Maybe It's the Glasses?
"Your dad kind of looks like Rick Moranis." -Matt's observation after seeing a photograph of me and my dad, circa 1985. Reminds me of the time Dad (circa 2008) was compared to Michael Douglas. Can't decide which is funnier/more accurate...
