on my mind

• The conversation m. wallace and I had on the way back from the airport this morning about prayer and revival. 

• Daniel Day-Lewis. His role in There Will Be Blood.  How does someone live and breathe a part like he does? It is beyond my knowing. Still, I'm fervently curious. 

• The party last night. I anticipated not having a grand time but I didn't expect to be borderline miserable. I actually loathed being there. And I'm not the least bit apologetic for feeling this way. Too many people, too much alcohol, too much noise, too much alcohol. Even having a camera in my hands the entire time didn't alleviate the agony. 

• The Rose Bowl. USC vs. Illinois. Prediction: 31-17, USC of course.
