the news

so i'm sitting in this random coffee shop, one of three customers. this gentleman before me looks like the type that could be part of some mafia, italian or otherwise. he has been riveted to his work, minus the continual second-long glances at the television, on the news and inaudible above him.

all of a sudden, i see his gaze lock on the television. curious now, i look too. there must have been something serious going on for this man to prolong his look towards the tv.

it turns out it was an ad for the new sex and the city movie.

i did not see that coming. of all the things one would expect to interest this man- the floods, the disasters, the latest o.j. simpson story- it was this ad for what i can only assume will be an awful movie.

the second it ended, he was back to work and never looked again at the television. i suppose this is what he was looking for with all those glances. it just didn't add up. i don't understand why anybody would care about this, especially this man who, as i just learned thinks that using ketchup for french fries and bbq sauce for chicken nuggets is a 'no-brainer.' this coffee shop makes me uncomfortable.

all that to say, i've been accepted into multnomah biblical seminary in portland, oregon. so i guess i'll be moving to portland in the fall. i just don't know if the unicorn will make it (a reference that will confuse only some).

Hey, Mr. Bedi~

It's Penny our here at Multnomah! I got wind of your blog and thought I'd look you up.

We are so looking forward to having you out here. Bring some of your friends along with you, if they dare!

I was home sick the last few days and caught wind that the Sex in the City premier stars were out in England debuying...I guess you could say. Interesting that stars could be so willing to attach themselves to such a movie name. And to see so many in the world curious as to the authenticy of the name and the material that lingers within. Sad state we live in...
