Silly title, Katie, all days are days of the sun! Oh well. I was trying to think of something interesting.
Not much has been happening in my life as of late, my roommate has yet to respond to my email (which results in a great deal of frustration on my part, WHYY ARE YOU AVOIDING ME. Surely it can’t be the fact that the email I sent you was near-psychotic…)
I also kind of have a job at my Dad’s office which consists of doing all the things he is too lazy to do, like copying things into the computer and apparently I’ll have the monumental task of cleaning his office sometime soon. That sounds like fun! Well, not exactly, but on the other hand.. MONEY?
Which brings me to Brittany’s challenge, which was to talk about something that’s been intriguing us lately. And this has always been a slight fascination for me (on the list of Things Katie Does Not Understand), but MONEY. IT IS PAPER. SURELY YOU CAN’T GET SOMETHING VALUABLE FROM SOMEONE IF YOU GIVE THEM PAPER. THEY CAN’T DO ANYTHING WITH IT EXCEPT GIVE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE.
And yet, everyone accepts money and therefore it works. I mean, I know it seems quite obvious, but if you actually just step outside of “civilized society”s viewpoint for a second and look at it, it seems almost like magic.
….Oooor maybe that’s just me. Anyhew, that was my main ponderance this week, I may or may not post a video I made about that thing on my own channel. Um.
I HAVE PICTURES! Three facebook albums, to be exact. Technically it’s not even all the photos- I keep putting off putting the last few dregs up. But, these albums contain most of them, so:
England part 1, part 2, and part 3 I’m not really a photographer, so I mean I apologize in advance for some of the silliness of the pictures. But still. ENGLAND. amiright?
I have no idea if the “themes” idea is good or not, I just thought I’d put that out there to see if anyone was interested! I know some people are overwhelmed by the questions and challenges already, and maybe some people want more, so… I dunno? But anyway, just to remind everyone that this is totally an ongoing, changing, living project, so suggestions and changes are always gonna be welcome, I hope!
Oh, I know you guys were waiting for this: Random Fact of The Sunday! Oscar Wilde was actually famous before he even started writing. When he came to Oxford (from I believe Edinburgh University?), he was allready well-known just because of his personality- as an aesthete, and also as a really cocky intelligent student. Needless to say his professors probably didn’t like him much.

I can handle the challenge most certainly! Well let’s see…I have to say I did love your recovery “not that we aren’t already but…ah… ” that was good….I kind of like the idea. I agree we are still struggling. Themes might be a good idea….maybe we could come up with a theme a week in advance to prep….who knows. Anyway I really enjoyed the video and now I’m going to go see the Beach Boys! I’m super excited…hopefully at the very least I’ll be able to get some pictures. See you all soon!

HAHAHAHAA! Loooove meee!!! Oscar is pretty badass.
There’s a slight problem with your video, though.
Katie. You didn’t even talk about your alto recorder!!!! That thing is SO COOL and has such a PRETTY SOUND. So… I hope you’re planning to play something for us next week. <3

Hahaha, well I just figured that since I’m such a novice video maker I’d try and think of things that would make my vlogs more interesting… so.. yeah!
Emily, I’m practicing every day.
And Brittany, BEACH BOYS. EXCITING. PLEASE TO BE TAKING PICTURES.

I love the idea of theme week! We are interesting already but I know exactly what you mean.
I already have an idea, I think… I will think of a few!
Love Oscar! Easy challenge!
