Diane’s World

1.The title of my post is from Wilco , More like the Moon. I almost deleted this song on accident when I cleaned out my iTunes! That would’ve stunk, big time. This song is one of the few that can make me cry. The lyrics aren’t much, but those instrumentals are amazing. Smokies.

2. You can tell a lot about a person by what they choose to post in their blogs. I won’t go in detail, and I have no clue what you can tell about me, but it’s true.

3. Shrimp is gross. Andrew says it’s like eating giant bugs. Meeeh.

4. So Germany gets bronze in the world cup. I’m ok with that… but FRANCE is above Germany??? Who let that happen?

Not that I have anything against France…

Ok I do. The best thing about France is the humorous articles that are written about them. (Honestly, do take the time to read these…)

1. A very brief history of France at war (muwaha! History buffs would love this)

2. Dave Barry on the Frenchies (Dave Barry is my hero)

5. On the topic of articles, my mom showed me this a few days ago and it made me laugh. I felt very wrong about it, but this guy really has guts. Severed Pigs Head Thrown Into Muslim Mosque

6. I decided that someone needs to make a film with Tom Hanks, Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford in it. It would sell no matter how stupid it was.

7. I started running again! I’ve been using machines until now because of my old foot problem, but I think it’s good enough to run again. Woopie! Right now I’m not doing too great - I run out of breath every 1/2 mile. I know, stop laughing at me. Two years ago I could run 8 miles relatively easily. What happened?
8. I miss having a piano accessible. That is one very nice thing about home. Unfortunately, I’m not doing too great at the piano anymore either. Shoot, I lost all my skills! I am pretty good at the bow-staff though.

9. I made a summer checklist to prove I’m not only bumming around:

1. World Journalism Institute – New York!
2. WJI homework - 4 articles, 1 paper
3. Start dianefeucht.com
4. Help Sarah & Andrew move
5. Help Andrew get kitchen painted
6. Paint Kid’s Bathroom
7. Design Dordt’s hockey team website
8. Paint Fish design in Kid’s bathroom
9. Write an evil plan to overtake the world.
10. Help Andrew design a website
11. Have a party. Honestly.
12. Meet Mr. Samuel Jacob Flanagan – my nephew
13. Write my mom’s resume
14. Throw Sarah a baby shower
15. See the dentist and eye doctor (ick)
16. Power wash my parent’s sidewalks
17. Read the 2 books Val (my boss, I guess) sent me.
18. Go shopping. Eck.
19. Become Patrick’s favorite Aunt.
20. Design door decorations.
Impressive I know.

10: Now the most important thing: COW IS STILL ALIVE! Except I don’t know for how much longer - we changed the water in his bowl for the first time and I don’t know if he will survive the night. My fingers are crossed.

11. My birthday is in exactly 2 weeks (dude, 20 is such a big number… I’m getting old), and go back to Dordt in exactly 1 month and 6 days.

12. My poor computer is getting slower and slower. It’s very painful to open photoshop or illustrator. :-/ Poor Pooky. It’s in really good condition - I love this computer. It’s just overused and overloved. I’m salivating over the new MacBooks. Maybe next year I’ll get a job and save up for one, but I’ll miss my faithful Pooky.

Those who have a mac understand me. You PC owners don’t know what it’s like to absolutely love a computer. Don’t make fun of me.

13. I’m craving coffee. Must resist.

14. Oh one more thing (I promise) - I updated my portfolio. Lots of stuff is missing, and it’s a huge mess, and for some reason the drawings take forever to load… but maybe my computer genius brother-in-law will help me out with that once he gets home from his business trip… right Andrew?

Go to the top right of this page and click “portfolio” to see it - except for you Internet Explorer users; I have no clue what this page looks like to you. I told you… Firefox is the way to go!

HAVE A GOOD WEEK EVERYBODY! Stay out of trouble!
