Dearrrrr Blog.

So, I left off with a weird and depressing blog. So I might as well do a quick follow up on that and get on with this shindig.

Earl's funeral was... odd. I was brutally sick, and it was unsettling to know I wasn't even the person in the most pain that day. I walked into the room, immediately noticing a wooded box with his name on a small plate attached to the box. Inside the box was a smaller golden box. I did the best I could to not try to think that his burned body, the ashes that remained, just sat in that box. Too much to try to wrap my head around. Anyways, the whole right half of the place was filled with veterans. After the short ceremony or whatever it's called, we go to the parking lot, yes the parking lot, to watch those veterans shoot off their guns three times. Is it really okay to do that right there in the parking lot by a busy Albert Lea street? I wouldn't know, but it was weird. Then it was back to grandma's for a small lunch thingy, and despite the dreariness of the situation, we recalled good memories and enjoyed each other's company.

New subject alert!

Brandon Ranum's wonderful mother got us tickets to see Demetri Martin (!!!!!!!!) on May 30th in Minneapolis. 2ND ROW SEATS! wow! I have to go, I just have to. Demetri Martin is possibly my favorite person. So talented, so funny, wonderful.

New subject alert!

I haven't chosen a prom dress yet, but I know it's going to be polka dotted! And I'd really rather wear my good old Chuck Taylor's instead of some sort of shoe that involves a heel, but I'm not winning that battle.

and lastly...

Radiohead's a good band. Not sure why they are compared to beyond-amazing Muse, but they're talented and I can enjoy them somewhat.
