Summer and Conspiracies

Well folks, my wonderful spring break is coming to a close. I'm entering into crunch time now with school, but soon enough my peeps....I'll be on break for summer! I can hardly wait. I'm ready for laying in the sun, going on runs in the early afternoon when the heat is still bearable, eating fresh fruits and veggies from the farmers market and fruit stands. I'm excited to finally have some free time to tackle the long list of books that I've been dying to read; trust me, my heart has been aching to feel the crisp pages of a novel between my fingers again.

Today, my last day of break, has been spent writing a paper for one of my history classes. Coincidentally enough, I turned on the History Channel (yes, I'm a true history nerd) for some background noise when I sat down to write my paper on Fascism and The Nazi Party and what is on TV....you guessed it, Nazis. The fall of the Third Reich to be precise. I powered through the paper, well maybe not powered through, I was getting sidetracked...that pesky Hitler sure knows how to demand attention.

Speaking of History, I went and saw the new movie The Conspirator with my pops a few days ago. You know the one, it's about the conspiracy behind Abraham Lincoln's assassination and the trial of one Mary Surratt (she was the owner of the boarding house where the plot was thought out). It stared James Mcavoy as the Lawyer that defended her; let me tell you...I love me some Jame Mcavoy (admit it...he had a little somethin, somethin as Mr. Tumnus in Narnia...the goat feet did not deter me). Overall, I really liked the movie; there is something about the presidency, the Civil War, and the justice system that fascinates me and this movie had all of the above.
