I believe it is safe to say that spring is here. Of course, right when we say that, winter slaps us in the face again one last time with a gelid open palm.
This week and next week is my spring break, so I am going to try to write more.
Beth and I went to see The Prenzie Players' production of The Taming of the Shrew. All of the action took place right in the midst of the audience, and that was my favorite aspect of the show. The actors all did a great job, too. It was nice to get out and spend eight dollars on something less passive than a movie. I would recommend checking out future shows by these players.
My dad gave me his review of No Country for Old Men today. He said that it should have been titled "There Will Be Blood." My mentor teacher said that he wonders how much people are beginning to see violence for violence's sake as good art. He has yet to see the movie, though, and so do I. Once I see it, I will share my opinion.
I went on a post-rock/math rock binge on eMusic. I downloaded albums from Saxon Shore, Couch, Del Ray, and Piglet. All of it sounds really promising so far, but I haven't been able to listen to them much yet.

That's cool that you got to see The Taming of the Shrew. Emily auditioned and was cast, but ended up turning it down. I'm glad to hear it was good and I agree something more active than a movie.
I'm kind of disappointed that people aren't seeing the bigger picture of No Country for Old Men other than the violence. IMO the movie is much more than that. It makes me wonder if "violence for violence's sake" is the new "violent video games made him do BLANK."
and yes I too am glad that spring is here.
totally radical photos, my friend
