what do you get when you juggle bananas?

Well, it's official. We bought our plane tickets to NYC last week. Well, we bought Wayne's and BYU bought mine. So at the end of March we'll make our own spring break and take off to see the proverbial apple. [Some people get spring breaks...we have to make ours! -wayne] Any suggestions on what we should make sure to see and do while we're there?

We rented a movie called "Mirror Mask" on Friday, and found it so interesting we rewatched it on Saturday. And still haven't returned it.... The world the movie created was just very intriguing. It took a little while to figure out what was going on exactly (I didn't know the premise of the movie before going into it), but it made perfect sense once you figured out it was a dream world. It was exactly like dreams in how anxious I was to see what was going to happen next, though much more vivid than my dreams ever are. Wayne, however, says he creates whole worlds like that in *his* dreams all the time. Somehow that's no surprise.... :)

For mutual, we had another winner of an activity in my books. Hehehe. First a so-called "beauty night," then we all go off to a basketball game. What's next? Public speaking night?! Anyway, the basketball game wasn't as bad as I was imagining it. Except when I came home with the BYU fight song stuck in my head and Wayne made fun of me for it. He thought I was singing five different songs, because he doesn't know the fight song, but it was in fact just one long song.

So why do people get into sports anyway? I don't get it, honestly. I am a little excited about next month's activity, black-light volleyball, but that's because it will be fun to watch the girls I know playing. Maybe people learn enough about sports players that they enjoy watching them play because they know them? I don't know.

We submitted a painting to a BYU competition. Wayne doesn't expect it to be well received after the last show at the HFAC, but as I say, it never hurts to try. Besides, who doesn't like Mario?!

The only other thing to report is that we heard from UCSD that they had trouble viewing the CD we sent as part of Wayne's portfolio. They figured it out and got what they needed, but this tells us that schools are already starting to review the portfolios. Too bad we still have to wait a month or two (or three) before we hear back from any of them...!

Well, have a great week. We'll enjoy having a Tuesday this week, since BYU declared it a "Monday observed" last week.
