Sun is warm; grass is green; Jaime is happy

Today has been amazing for the following reasons:

• My organized crime professor took half-an-hour in class today to discuss the topic I'm writing an article about. How cool is that? Tons of great information at my fingertips.
  
  
• I saw turtles! In the pond near the Union, there were three of them, just swimming away. One big, one medium and one small. I must have spent ten minutes just watching them. They were so cute and now, I want a turtle. I'll name him Raphael...or Donatello. It depends on his personality.
  
  
• The Best Friend and I were walking to Chik-Fil-A and we noticed these two women handing out cookies. Since we're suckers for a good cookie, we stopped to find out what was going out. It turns out they're part of a community service organization called 'Ask Mom'. They're local area moms who just show up on campus with cookies, advice and hugs. It was so sweet and best of all? I networked my way into a potential feature story. I'm a hustla', baby. Just want you to know ;)
  
  
• I found Everclear's Greatest Hits [Thanks, Dirt-Tay!] in the car and rocked out the whole way home. Sunshine, all green lights and my favorite band. Perfection.
  
  
• Ramone sent me the sweetest little message which started with, "after reading your page and some of your old blogs, I'm impressed and somewhat jealous of your writing style!" How nice is that? I'm always a little surprised when people say they like my writer. I just see myself as this kid who picks up a pen and scrawls nonsense.
  
  
• Dana and Jess are both gonna be in town this weekend. Knock, knock! Who's there? BOOZE! Tinfoil will be in full effect at Lush Manor this weekend!
  
  
• And finally -- does anyone out there have an mp3 of Justin Timberlake performing Let's Stay Together with the Rev. Al Green? You can't deny the boy's talent if the Reverend himself wants to perform with him. Sidenote -- I'm not the slightest bit religious, but if I could have the Reverend Al Green marry me -- I'd jump on that opportunity. How cool would that be?
