I meant to post months ago, but I just never got around to it. 4 months is an intimidating amount of time to describe in words. I'm not going to go in depth into a lot of the farm specifics, but if anyone reading this is interested, I would be happy to go into more detail. I feel very qualified at this point to start up my own garden or small farm ( Read more... )

I've been doing a lot of stuff the past week, most of which were awesome. If you didn't know before, I love autumn. I love October. It is both. I love that.

Lots of things have been happening lately. I've been working quite a bit and working hard on finishing some books and papers. "Walden" is surprisingly difficult to read, and I don't think I like it as much as I thought I would. I've been running back and forth across campus trying to find out when I'm going to graduate. It's official: May 2009 - ( Read more... )

Saturday was great. I woke up early to a bee-yoo-tiful but hot day, and I ate one of those gooey sweet bagels before walking over to Eric's. Jacob picked us up and we went to the farmer's market (a girl named Julie came too). It was packed. I talked with several vendors and bought potatoes, tomatoes, chard, apples, and pumpkin butter all for $7. ( Read more... )

I've been feeling good and bad lately, without consistency. The goods have been good, so I will talk about those. Last week, Stefanie and I hung out for a few hours talking and catching up, which was really nice. I missed the days in high school when we used to be such good pals ( Read more... )

all of our memories collide at night.
at the bash we begin to crash.
fun, not famine, our desolate masks -
why should we pretend that all is all right?

as ages age, we turn the pages - 
as our insides die, our still blinded eyes
give a wink to the creatures outside,
and a manmade world continues its rage.

its getting stale.

please
give us good thoughts and

A few nights ago, I dreamt that I was adopted at birth, and that I had never met my mother. I forget the circumstances, but we met at a waffle house or something. I was really excited because I apparently had been dreaming of this moment. When I saw her, she didn't look to be more than 30, so I'm not sure how old I was. She had an Indian or Persian ( Read more... )

After this semester, I will only need 10 hours of whatever random classes that I want, and then I'll be graduating with a BA in Sustainable Development, and a minor in Geography. Then what? I'll deal with that later. For this semester, I'm taking 15 hours a week (the average course load). I'm still working at Outdoor Programs getting a handful of ( Read more... )

Today was nice. I woke up at 10:30, ate some oatmeal and a banana, and went to Community Development class at 11. We have a project to interview and profile a Boone organization that tries to benefit the "overlooked" population of our community. It sounds cool, and I think I might profile Appalcart's medical transit service. After class, I sat in ( Read more... )
