Stargazing

Health-wise, this year seems to be starting out as a dud.

No shrimp, no duck

Looking slightly bewildered due to being on too much Benadryl all morning and not shaving.

Spoons

I missed the going away party but got to see my buddy Ryan today before he leaves for Spain. Here's hoping you have a great trip. (photo via Liza)

Day 2...

After sleeping half the day away to find the reaction consuming my body, I really hope I'm not allergic to anything super delicious.

Welcome 2010!

After starting this blog exactly a year ago, less than twenty entries have been posted after 365 days. Quite a sad rate of production if I might say. So it's another year and another opportunity to start afresh. I'll try to remember to start modest and work my way up. Big plans always get me all twisted up. Let's say in general the goal for the year is to do more. Whether it be reading, writing, watching movies, or anything, to just be more active. Thinking is great and while I really rock at it, sitting in a chair fidgeting with my hands, so much of it is just idle and doesn't amount to much. How about resolving this year to creating things and saving some of the reflection for later. That sketchbook of mine is awfully empty and most of it is just words. I confess I hadn't touched it since being home until a couple days ago. Another resolution I'll add is to remember the events of the new year with more clarity. 2009, you were great big fun blur. I spent most of you sleeping in class, thinking, hoping, and punctuated it with a couple of great trips. This year I'll record more life.

All right then, I've probably spent a bit too much time writing this (more than it would seem at least) so I'm off to read. I'm 1/6 through The Fountainhead and want to finish before school starts back up.

Smelly dog got a bath today.

Chickens and bunnies are so cute they've got to be friends

Sometimes when no one is around, I'll laugh out loud for no reason just to hear the sound. It feels good.

Everything is architecture

I'm praying this is the semester architecture "clicks" for me. I'm nervous because I have the feeling it might just happen. After six weeks of the semester and beating around the bush a little bit, this project is beginning to get me really excited.
