I'm right in the middle of reading both A Prayer for Owen Meany and Anansi Boys. I'm stoked about them so far.

In about two weeks, I'll be in Vegas meeting up with my brother, his wife, my other brother, and his girlfriend--right now i just watched the foo fighters storytellers (or the end of it) and got to see them perform "everlong." This is one of the best songs ever written. It still gives me goosebumps to hear it. Everything in that song is perfect. And THE DRUMS. God. So good. I gotta admit, watching the old sunny day real estate bass player playing with the foo fighters is a pretty nice treat too. Anyway, where was I? Oh, yeah. Vegas.
I'm excited to see my family and their signifs. I'm excited to roam the hotels and the strip...something we really didn't get a chance to do last time. Hopefully I will a million dollars playing the slots. Wish me luck!

I hope everyone had a good thanksgiving. We had a vegan thanksgiving. Stuffed Squash. So good. Emily and I have had a 90s video party the other night...meaning that we watched videos online...classics like Semisonic's Closing time, Dave Matthew's Crash, Mighty Mighty Bosstones' The Impression that I Get...and more. A while ago we did the same watching Bush videos, NO Doubt Videos and more. DO it sometime. It's crazy the kind of shit it reminds you of, and how good these songs are. Shit, that reminds me. I'm gonna watch some old Radiohead videos like Karma Police and The Bends. Mmmmm. Any other 90 suggestions?

I've been writing a lot of stuff: Mostly The Story Thief, and some Lyric Essay stuff (writing about faith, my family, and shit like that), and a little poetry too. I got some stories from Ian not to long ago. Gonna read them over the break! I'm excited...

Well I think that's all for now.
I love you all,
Joshua
