i still haven't gone to chapel this semester...and i don't really feel bad.

today was a good day. no...a great day. i spent an hour and a half learning how to knife fight, so... honestly, how could it not be a great day? seriously?

after the knife-fighting, we won our first swim meet. we owned Long Beach Jordan. it's a good thing it was a home meet, or the knife-fighting knowledge might have been needed.

now i'm avoiding working on my conceptualization abstract for Oedipus Rex that's due tomorrow in my directing class. i have to tell you, i'm not very excited about this project. i think my friend, kenny, said it best when he referred to it as a "gnarly" play because "the guy does the dirty dirty with his mom." how right you are, kenny.

i have chosen to set the play in the present day, on the set of a t.v. talk show similar to Jerry Springer. i mean come on...the guy does do the dirty dirty with his mom. i think it's a reasonable conceptualization. not at all a force-fit. we'll see how well the stupid teacher likes the idea tomorrow when i turn in my paper that i should be writing right now. wish me luck! (i need luck, because i don't have any other ideas...and i don't care enough to try and think of another)

on a more exciting note, i would like to ask for your prayers. i might have an opportunity in the not-so-distant future to serve in Peru indefinitely, working with friends from Santiago, Chile, who have planted a church in Cuzco, Peru. i want to make wise decisions and follow God's leading, so i would appreciate any prayers for wisdom you offer up on my behalf. thanks a lot, friends.
