Cura, Seafood and Salt

Glad to have you join us on this fine evening.

Yesterday, my dad hired some people to cut down some dead trees that were threatening the Casey house. When I arrived back home after a day of higher education, I found a cherry picker blocking the driveway. I made an impressive climb up the front lawn with the aid of the little red Caseycopter, and soon found that I would be directing traffic. I stood out in the road and held up two state troopers... They did not seem to appreciate this, but it was all for the best as two large pines crashed down inches from where they would be driving. It is always fun to watch heavy things falling.

Oh hey, last night was wierd. I did lots of writing, lots of deleting and lots of re- writing. I also read through the transcript of a meeting which took place at the old school house yesterday, which amused me to no end. The writing was not fun, but I do seem to get a great sense of satisfaction upon completing this sort of activity. When I arrived in class at noon today, I found that I need not have bothered with the deleting or re- writing. We were peer editing papers, and I found to my surprise that the work of my peers was well.... Surprising. After reading papers that my 10 yr old sister could have done a far better job on, I retired to the old school house to pick up my brother and return a Chesterton anthology.

Upon returning home, I did not do any work, which was fun.. I also applied at 711.

I hope you had an interesting day. I am excited, because the Cumbus should be here tomorrow and I like playing music.

I think that it is time for another book segment. Yesterday, I was digging through the books in our basement looking for something to read. I happened upon an old Indiana Jones novel about Indiana Jones discovering a secret world inside the core of the earth. I am ashamed to say that I started reading it, and have not been able to put the thing down. It is really interesting, but sadly whenever the plot gets really facinating, some sort of witch shows up, or the devil or some kind of fairy.

As I said earlier, I returned a Chesterton anthology today (thank you Elizabeth.) I can honestly say that it is one of the few books which has changed the way I think. Not only was Chesterton an amazing theological sort of guy, but he also, like so many of my favorite comedians points out the simple things in life and puts an angle to them that we have all thought about, yet never thought of expressing in any way. Well, that is enough about the Chest, because not talking about myself is getting awkward.....

Anyway, about me... As I have said, my birthday is coming up. I have never been one for birthday parties. I will attend other peoples, but I do not like them for myself. This probably has more to do with my general shyness and superstition than anything else, and save for this blog, I do not really like things focused on me. This does not mean that I do not enjoy attention, in fact anything but. I however do not like the general Idea of birthdays. My plans for this birthday are simple. I am going to follow the Middle Eastern custom and get my mom flowers, before going to my classes. When I get home, I am going to BBQ, before going to bed incase the Evil eye comes looking for me...... Creepy ha? Well, stay tuned...
