 Like many people, I lived the first 22 years of my life working towards a single goal: graduating college. What I didn't realize was how sucky it would be if I succeeded.
 If you've ever wondered what it's like to be engaged, wonder no more.
Tomorrow, I get married. These past few months have been incredibly challenging and amazing. In order for you to understand what our engagement/wedding planning was like, here's a list of things to do in order to re-live our experience:  It's time for another exciting rendition of, "How This Movie Represents Life Perfectly!"
Today's movie of life is called Don't Think Twice. Directed by Mike Birbiglia and produced by Ira Glass. It's available on Netflix, and if you haven't seen it, go watch it now, as there may be spoilers ahead!  There are only a few months of the year where the snow is replaced by muddy pot holes and green grass. Otherwise, the snow covers everything; the road, the trees, the school, the lake. The boy's senses utterly grizzled with a layer of ice and fluff.
 Whether you are democratic or republican, this is the fate of our country, and we must learn to live with it. What's done is done.
Tonight, I went to see a show called The Venetian Twins. 'Twas an old Italian comedy. Yes; that means Commedia dell'arte. It was probably the best Commedia show I'd ever seen (granted, I've only seen 3). Directed by Jon Ferguson of Theatre Forever and performed by some top-notch clowns in the Twin Cities area, this trouble made me laugh harder and longer than I have in a while. The evening brought new breath to my life... But why?  M. Gaulier is not amused. Life after college is often like finals week - you're busy trying to meet deadlines for something you don't want to do with no idea if you're going to make it or feel successful. ALL THE TIME.  |
