"Even in Heaven, do they say 'If only...'?"
On iTunes: nothing

I'm between classes right now, but I wanted to drop in and let you all know that I am alive... barely. I'm sick again. I know, I know, I should stop making out with dirty people, but I can't help it.

Seriously, it's been like a week since I got over that first cold. It just isn't right. So basically I've been moping around, feeling miserable and sorry for myself and all that nonsense.

Although racquetball this morning was nice.

And there's this book I'm reading called The Storm by Frederick Buechner and it's loosely based off of Shakespeare's The Tempest. It's awesome. Buechner writes so fantastically well, and some of the things he says are just perfectly delightful. It's funny in a very ironic sort of way, and you really get to love these characters even though they have obvious flaws. Some quotes for you:

"'Can you imagine the Bishop breaking bricks in two with his bare hand?' Willow said, and he said, 'The Trouble is I have always been able to imagine almost anything. It has been my downfall.'"

"He thought of himself as a man who wrote because he couldn't think of anything else to do with his delusions."

"'When night gives pause to the long watch I keep, / And all my bonds I needs must loose apart, / Must doff my will as raiment laid away' - it was one of his favorites and he spoke it so quietly, so hesitantly, that he seemed half afraid of where it was leading him - 'With the first dream that comes with the first sleep / I run, I run, I am gathered to thy heart.'"

"'If only she'd this. If only I'd that. If only something or other. If only nothing, nothing at all.'"
