A friend of mine going to college near Boston managed to fall and split her head, for which she had to get stitches. The bad thing about her fall is that she is possibly the nicest person I've ever met. She worked tirelessly with my friends and I on the Des Moines 48-Hour Film Project, for which I am eternally grateful. Get well, Brianna.
Secondly, another student from SE Polk (a high school near Des Moines) was killed yesterday. It's been a hard year for that school. There were several suicides last year, one just a few weeks ago, and now this. In my experience, Southeast Polk students are perhaps the friendliest in the Metro area and it is a horrible shame that these kinds of things keep happening to them.
I hate to come off all morose and depressing, but I'm just grateful to have the people that I do surrounding me and for the support base that I have firmly in place.
The record store opens in about 45 minutes, so I think I'm going to go buy the new Ben Folds CD today. Keep your eyes open over the next few days for a review.
much respect

Thanks for letting me know about Brianna. I texted her and she's doing alright. I mean, as alright as one who splits their head and has to get stitches can.
As for the Ben Folds review, I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts. I like him, but I don't think any of his solo albums are as good as his stuff in Ben Folds Five.
