the reockoning

March 25: Addie has not been feeling well lately. She eats half the food in her bowl and she has diarrhea. On our walk this morning, she saw another dog and got so excited she almost threw up.

March 26: Jai’von didn’t have his phone to call his mom when she was late to pick him up, but he did have a bullhorn and a giant can of cologne with him for some reason.

March 27: It can be so strange to spend your whole life watching someone on television and then see them in real life. It is so surreal to discover that they are a human being with a life outside of what you know them for. John Cleese made it absolutely sure to everyone that he is first and foremost a father.
“How would “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” end if the police never showed up?”
“We just couldn’t think of any other ending. I know, I know, it’s a huge cop out.”
I think our groans just made him stronger.

“Writers never really throw anything away.” (On reusing bits that never made it into the movie)

March 28: A student at Biola recently got arrested for stashing a gun in their dorm room. When I was applying to college, I remembered visiting the dorms, hearing the rules, and constantly being approached by overenthusiastic sophomores.
“You can’t even have a goldfish in the dorms, why did he have a gun?”

March 29: The conversation was halted every half hour due to the commotion of the trains speeding by. It wasn’t even just the noise that would make everything come to a halt. All of us couldn’t help but watch the boxcars blur past us going to destinations unknown.

March 30: Katie, dad and I were working in a long room while waiting for Nick to finish up his business call. A few people came in and arranged a pile of cookies and cupcakes on the counter near us. Despite being completely alone for the previous half hour, people suddenly swarmed around the baked good. Apparently, they have a hive mind at Google.

March 31: I don’t know if Heidi meant to terrify me, but she did. Saturn is returning to where it was the day we were born, meaning that we should expect to get what is coming to us. She referred to it as “The Reckoning”.
