I just feel like today is a good day to send a big wave of love out to the world. Love to everyone.

I know what it means to miss New Orleans, especially today.

It's seventy-four degrees
And a gentle warm breeze
Is bending the trees like a painting by Matisse
And everyone's all freaked out 'cause they didn't plan vacations accordingly

I am in bed
Making a list in red

I’m kind of somewhere in between, since the students working for me are technically under the supervision of Steve, my collaborator here, but he’s on sabbatical in Ithaca, NY until the end of the summer. So I’m pretty much solely in charge. Anyway, ( Read more... )

I had a date last week. An adult date: a meet at a restaurant, possibility of getting a drink after, walk me to my car and maybe you'll get a kiss goodnight kind of date. This cgi engineer boy and I had a ridiculous number of things in common, and we were never at a loss of things to talk about. But he was, for lack of a better word, just too ( Read more... )
