Here's looking up your address
I haven't updated this in a while. I'm not really gonna update it now. I reserve the right to post on it in the future, but right now I think I'm more interested in directing my thoughts away from myself and toward other things. Music, art, photography (lately, more than ever, I've felt the urge to take pictures and I really want to get a camera), ( Read more... ) -
i thank You God for most this amazing day
the last few weeks have been surprising and stressful. I'm getting it all done and doing well. all the same, I'm looking forward to going home for a little while. only two weeks left - one major assignment (a profile piece that I am very much ready to write) and the revision of my arts journalism article, written on pipe organ music in Syracuse. I ( Read more... ) -
first post from Syracuse. first 'orange' epiphany.
I'll warn you, this is a long one. longer than even my old-school 'I haven't updated in two weeks and I need to tell you everything I've been doing' entries.
but this epiphany (I think that's what it is) has been a long time in coming. I feel like I've talked too much, especially in the last four years. I feel like I put so much more effort into ( Read more... ) -

strange things, small discoveries
I noticed a little switch on my laptop last night, just to the right of the speaker volume dial. it has on and off positions and has a little logo with an antenna emitting some kind of waves, which I'm fairly sure is the symbol for wireless internet connection. apparently I've had wireless capability for the last two years and didn't know it.

turn out the lights
I spent the last couple days/nights really living it up. staying out late. hanging out with increasingly larger groups of people. it was great - all of it. Ruby Tuesday's on Friday night with a small crew of high school folks, catching up a little bit. one friend is about to get married and has a contract lined up to teach in the fall. nice to know ( Read more... ) -
misheard lyrics and other things I got wrong
the most played song on my iTunes is "this temporary life" by death cab for cutie. until recently, I thought the chorus said "I'm never leaving this temporary life." I looked up the lyrics online (the song is on a compilation and didn't come with a lyric sheet) and saw that Ben Gibbard is actually singing "of ever leaving this temporary life," ( Read more... ) -
