I'm super happy for BetteJean! She made the front page today! She totally deserves it...and it's about freaking time. There is some celebration in store.
Her husband is my best friend, and I talked to him a bit today to see how everything was going. He's in a management program for Family Video. I'm really happy that things are working out for him, but it means that he's going to be moving. He lives about an hour and a half away, and I don't get to see much of him as it is, but I know it's really best for him and BetteJean. I hope they move to a more populous area, because I think BetteJean's photography business would do better in a larger area.
I experienced something really saddening today. I just finished George Orwell's 1984 today. I was trying to talk to a girl at work about it, and she had never even heard of the book. WHAT? I realize she's kinda young (20), but seriously, it's one of the great works of English literature. What the hell books are they reading in high school these days. I can forgive someone for not having read it...some people don't like to read...but not even having ever HEARD of it. That's just sad.

The reading list in most high schools are TERRIBLE! I only vaguely know of 1984. The only books we read when I was in high school was, A Tale of Two Cities, Animal Farm, The Crucible, The Great Gatsby, and then Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caeser, Hamlet, and Macbeth.
