thoughts on travel
“What do we leave behind when we cross each frontier? Each moment seems split in two; melancholy for what was left behind and the excitement of entering a new land. “
Miner’s Wife: Are you two looking for work? Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: No, we aren’t looking for work.
Miner’s Wife: No?… Then why are you traveling?
Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: We travel just to travel.
Miner’s Wife: Bless you… Blessed be your travels.
wants
so little sleep lately. 9-5 work, 6-2am people. not bad, i guess. :)
so, i did a photoshoot today.
i want and need the following things:
1 umbrella2 stands
2 holders
and one extension wire like hesi’s for like ~10-15bucks.
i can get all of the above from the above linked bhphotovideo for 123US with shipping.
*drool*
i want!
green
TEST!
i just liked the color.
moss
from camping
how freaking cool is THAT? i can blog from flickr! and then my photos are stored there and stuff.
except then this is not REALLY a *PHOTO*blog but a photoBLOG. which is blah.
flickr is nice, ‘cept someone was stealin’ my stuff. i’m in process of taking harsh actions against those who stole my work.
i like shiny
so following up on my obsession with all things shiny i got myself that balm. it was kind expensive, but then i think that every time that i look at “nice” lip balms. at least this one has amazing reviews.
the tin is really really nice. and it really does feel very awesome.
yay!

GAP shirt
so i decided to spoil myself.
i want more clothes, but stores around here suck lately.
perfection
i swear, this guy’s voice haunts me. the song is just so heart wrenching, and that was even before i looked up the words. it was on one of the romantic collection disks, if any one knows these.
sold book for 40$
went to the library, paid a 32$ fine.
how’s that for karma?
my room is complete. its peaceful to the utmost degree now. i couldn’t imagine a more comfortable space. maybe if i could figure in a couch, it’d be awesomer, but its a room not an apartment.
the day was linguistics diagrams galore. i’m good at those. must be the digital circuits class and my general enjoyment of charts.
a thought has been crossing my mind lately, about how good it is to feel comfortable in your own skin. it sounds silly, but its exactly how it feels. a feeling of comfort. maybe it has to do with comfortable clothes intead? i don’t know.
the booq case is kicking ass. i’m so much more comfortable carrying my laptop around now!
i tried to setup an rss aggregator on this site to get links from people over at modblog and mahaon.org. its not working. so that will also be delayed.
all in all i’m happy with the website being empty of everything though. it feels more like i want it to feel.
lets try out image posting again.
booq case and book case
friday was marked by 3 events. other than working and leaving a bit early (mwahahaha for luxury of 4:45 ditching… ain’t it sad? at least i’m working off honestly the hours that i missed for those two days of LA. note to self: talk to scott on monday about going to the conference, and figure out transportation stuffs.), going home and being unable to actually fall asleep, despite not drinking that delicious, delicious coffee, the first half of the day was markedly un interesting.
it is the second half, which begins at 7pm for me, that was exciting.
first of all, my dad finished building a new bookcase for my room. i’m not showing pictures – yet – as i want everything to be done and then do a proper interior photo. but its cool. trust me. it makes me smile when i look at it. its so cool you’ll want to move in with me. really, even you. with me. its stunning. its the best thing since sliced bread and even that pales a little bit. except sliced bread sucks? hmm.
second of all, i drove to pick up my shiny new booq bag! its as awesome as it looks, and while it was on the pricier side of things, it feels so incredibly well made and like such a fantastic protection, that i feel its worth it. i’m sure it will stand up to the kind of abuse that i put my things to. and now when i carry my laptop around, i don’t have to worry about the bag being water proof! “Simply put, Vyper has to be the coolest laptop sleeve. We sandwiched durable, semi-rigid high density foam between a layer of 1682D cross-weave ballistic nylon on the exterior and a super non-scratch lining on the interior – an effective blend. ” indeed.
the next exciting thing wasn’t that awesome after all. due to a large misunderstanding of personal habits, maha and i weren’t able to meet up after all. she didn’t think i wouldn’t hear the phone, and i didn’t think she wouldn’t knock. soo, instead of going out, i stayed home, finished a healthy amount of wine (i’m not sure who it was healthy for, but it felt good), watched tv and pretty much did absolutely nothing. i’d be lying if i said that it wasn’t good – i feel rested for the first time in a week.
after that, i pretty much have had about, oh, 12-13 hours of sleep. woke up at nearly 2pm, and nearly immedately ran to my linguistics’s partner’s house. ran == driven by mom.
fast forward to 11::45pm, she dropped me off at home (she == the partner), and so i was here, wasting time for 2 hours. awesome stuff, so relaxing! tomorrow, its another day of linguistics and finishing off my room (mmm photos), and monday will be awesome! yes. toronto will be welcoming the cssu president.
