"Rain, rain don't go away." The many citizens of Washington would disagree with me on this but I enjoy the rain. We see a lot of it up here but I'm okay with it. It might make me feel down sometimes, but drawing peace signs on your driveway will put a smile on your face. I promise. Watching the chalk wash away and jumping in puddles. Today was a blast.

I remember my history of art teacher telling us about a film we should all consider watching. Yesterday while returning Bram Stokers Dracula, I went to the DVD section and found the movie he was talking about, it's called "Amelie". I can't wait to watch it. I'm not sure what to expect.

The humanities course I took in community college was very beneficial to me. It was around six months and I am so glad I signed up. The teachings, my teachers, and my fellow classmates inspire me everyday. My favorite class was history of art, literature and (even though it drove me crazy) philosophy. The teacher would call on me and I wouldn't know what to say! History of art was the best because we would watch slide shows of artwork and talk about it. I didn't have a favorite painting until I was in this class.

My favorite painting is "The Raft of the Medusa" painted by Theodore Gericault. Beautiful, tragic and based on a true story. I couldn't imagine the fear they experienced. Left for dead stranded on a raft in the middle of the ocean watching the ship disappear over the horizon.

Anyone who is reading, what is your favorite painting(s)?

P.S. Happy Birthday Sean and John Lennon!
Peace, love and lavender
