Christina came back from teacher orientation at MICA in Baltimore feeling "nourished". Not by the hummous wraps they carted in for lunch, but by the people and community that she found there. It got us to thinking of how important it is to question the nutritional value of not only our food, but also of our day to day activities. Jobs, relationships, time off etc. can all be quesitoned. "Is this healthy? Is this nourishing? Is this energizing me to continue contributing to that thing that is providing this nourishment?". It's a great way to look at work, school, neighborhoods, and religious institutions. It's a very clean analysis for many things, but one that's probably not often done. The food to living analogy is great. Perhaps go on a diet of unhealthy things? It's beginning to chime back to the Seven Habits, but I like it. Hmm...what's for lunch?
Chrissy was excited by how organized and clear the school's administration was throughout the day. MICA puts a lot of responsibility on their professors and rewards them with a community of teachers and students that are among the best anywhere. We're both very excited by this new opportunity and the chance to explore Baltimore.

These are hideous. These are the new ?uestlove Nike Air Force One sneakers. Wow.
Chrissy and I have taken the last few days off to tool around, hit some beaches, and cook. Had a blast at Brigantine beach yesterday, and visited Lewes beach today. Really enjoyed laying out as it began to rain and watching it pass over us. Finishing a mix and 3 songs for a 21 Day film project entry this week. Hopefully we'll have as much luck as we did with the 48hr Film Project. I wrote 3 songs for the film. One entirely in Spanish. One is a rocking jingle style number, and the other is... well we'll just have to play the video when it's finished on Friday. It'll be funny. I also scored the opening to a new Comcast OnDemand show about Puppies. A few chords mixed with some barks and some great animation by John Conning @ CCFV. Fun fun.
Paris Hilton filmed a response to John McCain's ad. It's really nicely done and quite funny. Click here to watch it. It is perfectly safe for work.
I've got some entries in waiting about new music, Aza Raskin, supercolliders and tequila, but those will wait until Thursday. Back to vacation
