hey there

Hey guys! I'm using a computer at our library while I wait to see The Last Samurai. I recently saw Kill Bill, and was pleased with the blood gysers and gurgling noises. Believe it or not, our first showing of Return of the King is just now coming, and will "hit" our theatre on January 17th. I came here today from rifle team, which I hadn't attended in a while due to Xmas break. I was pleased to discover I can still shoot little air rifles. Well, I personally shoot a fairly large air rifle, but the pellets are all the same size (little things, made of lead); we've been instructed not to eat them. Today was a "loose trap" day, which meant that one of the pellet traps wasn't working very well, resulting in a number of our shots bouncing back and hitting us. Harmless if they hit your clothes, but on skin they sting, and sometimes will draw blood. Nor would I care to see how they effect teeth. There really is no point to this letter. Elise, I remember exactly what you're talking about, and I think it a very good memory. How representative of our time together. We might be buying a house in Maine...none of my family has ever been there, but what the hell. My dad'll be going up there in a few weeks to check it out. I find it interesting that so many people wish to try out the whole "dorm experience." It's actually somewhat ironic, because you will spend a year, maybe up to four, in a dorm, and then you're out into the world, whereas I will spend four years in a somewhat less dormlike Telluride house, and then spend anywhere from 4 to 24 years in a "super dorm," the belly of a ship, or, if I'm smart enough, the tummy of a submarine. Well, I'd better get going.

Memory: The never-ending walk to the Salvation Army with Adam. But so, so worth it.

Love yous
