earlier this summer, i had started reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, but I became consumed with work and left it to the side. Yesterday, i read about 250 pages of it, and I finished it.  it is now my favorite book.  i recommend it to everyone.  you will feel emotionally drained after finishing it.

any other book recommendations?

Damien Rice is in Minneapolis during Convocation.


So naturally I'm skipping convocation to see Damien Rice.

Sept 24th - Peter Bjorn

I'm for sure going to try to get to Damien Rice and Rilo Kiley.

We are Virginia Tech
We are sad today
And we will be sad for quite a while
We are NOT moving on
We are embracing our mourning
We are Virginia Tech
We are strong enough to stand tall tearlessly
We are brave enough to bend to cry, and sad enough to know
We must laugh again
We are Virginia Tech
We do not understand this tragedy
We know we did nothing to deserve it
But neither does the child in Africa, dying of AIDS
Neither do the Invisible Children, walking the night away to avoid being captured by a rogue army
Neither does the baby elephant, watching his community be devastated for ivory
Neither does the Mexican child looking for fresh water
Neither does the Appalachian infant, killed in the middle of the night in his crib, in the home his father built with his own hands, being run over by a boulder because the land was destabilized
No one deserves a tragedy
We are Virginia Tech
The Hokie Nation embraces our own and reaches out with open heart and hand to those who offer their hearts and minds
We are strong and brave and innocent and unafraid
We are better than we think and not quite what we want to be
We are alive to the imagination and the possibility we will continue to invent the future
Through our blood and tears
Through all this sadness
We are the Hokies
We will prevail
We will prevail
We will prevail
WE ARE
VIRGINIA TECH
-Nikki Giovanni

For all time they will say it was our love, brought down a kingdom. Remember us.

I feel like I have bird flu or SARS. I know I don't, but it feels that way.
