yay

i probably shouldn't be this excited. but i think its justified.

the speed limit on the road i take to class every wednesday used to be 50. this made my trip take 45 to 50 minutes... and today, for the first time, i experienced the wonder of the new speed limit. it's now 70. yay! this makes my trip only about 35 minutes, which means that i'll actually be eating lunch on wednesdays now!

ok, there was something else i was going to say.

... oh right, i remembered

i'm going to start posting photography again. i've got some new stuff to share! over the summer i worked on learning more about how to use my fancy camera (which i still haven't named... hmm, sad.), and since i've been reading this biography of walker evans, i really really want to work harder on that.

.

one other thing. a strange moment to share, and perhaps slightly embarrasing. i was organising my books last saturday afternoon, and i was standing there, listening to some music, and suddenly i realised that i had been unconsciously dancing with paul johnson and hendrik willem van loon for a longer time than i'd like to admit... and not a waltz or anything like that. ever seen elizabethtown? the scene where he's in the woods and he dances like a three-year-old, jumping up and down, waving his arms around? thats how it was. and i don't think paul johnson would do that. surely he's ever so much too dignified. perhaps van loon would... he seems a merry chap.
