Martin Sheen is Hispanic?

According to my sister's college Spanish text, it is so. Just one of the many things I've been finding out recently.

Being a Reedie on break from school, I've been reading voraciously. Stuff that I didn't have time to read before. Or that I told myself that I didn't have time to read, at least. Mostly news and such. This kind of reading I should keep up even while at school. Suddenly I'm aware of a lot of things, such as what's going on in the world, to start with. And I'm more aware of my own politics. And very interested in a lot of things. It's like my brain is awake again after having hibernated for a couple months, kind of processing things but not really retaining them as much as it should, or really being as involved as it should either. But that's changing. Not the best timing, but at least there's the change. And I hope I can hold onto this.

I've been toying with the idea of starting a new journal, as a supplement. I'll of course keep this one, because it's my personal journal, a record of what I've been up to, stuff that's going on in my life, the state of my being (as incomplete as it was for the past several months...). But I've been thinking about having another in which to write my opinions on things. If I do start such a journal, I will make it known.

My Brain Does Funny Things While I'm Asleep

Last night I dreamed about "abstract photographic still-life" art. But one picture had a live mouse in it. Strange. I also dreamed about going on a trip with Meg, Kate, and John. We went to some place in Idaho, supposedly near Canada, but we didn't go to Canada, and we'd had to drive somewhere and then fly to the place where we ended up. For some reason, I had three bags, and more room in them at the end of the trip. Quite strange.
