Thoughts: I have spent the past two weeks making fun of one of my best friends, Catherine, for having a blog. Truly an 18 year-old's life cannot be all that interesting. But as I sit here at the YMCA with nothing to do, I have decided to give blogging a try. I figure I would blog, even if for no other reason than to have something to do while sitting outside with nothing to do. I am afraid I do not compete with the Chesnut sisters on artistry, I think my creativity ended with my attempt at clothing design at age 12 (which I cleverly named "Just for Fun", most likely as a disclai
mer for any uncovering of my work in the future).
mer for any uncovering of my work in the future).So this summer I am back at the Y, working on the membership team. This basically means I check people in and get to parooze the internet and read. There is one little boy who comes up daily and tells me about his swimming escapades. I've gotten to know the regulars and learned to identify the guests.
Music: Last night, my friend Nick and I went to see Idina Menzel sing with the Dallas Symphony. I would definitely put it on my list of best concerts, right up there with John Mayer and Pat Green. I wish I were able to sing.
TV: Over the years, I have almost prided myself in the fact that I do not watch TV. But the occasional TV show will catch my attention and pull me away from tasks at hand. At present, 
that show is Veronica Mars. About 3 years ago, my sister, Gillian, gave me the first season for my birthday. I began watching, but soon forgot about it in the midst of other activities. Recently, however, a friend reminded me of the 3 season show. I have since become addicted, and I am now half way through the second season. Why it was cancelled? I do not understand.

Although I have not read Catcher in the Rye (a big surprise for a Hockaday graduate), this is an easy read during work. Salinger writes a slice of life for two characters, who are actually siblings, and brings them together in dialogue in the end.
Back to work for me.
