I've been writing in this livejournal since summer 2003. so weird.
I've spent this entire summer so far slinging ice cream cones to little babies and the geriatric, hiding behind counters sitting indian style on cold linoleum reading, sewing and texting, crouched over a drafting table until every muscle in my back aches and my pens run dry isolating point, line and plane, but more often than not being happy that i am where i am.
while things may not have been what i wanted ideally, they are better than i could have hoped for.
i feel lucky and young again.
i feel like i am learning and while regrets may be dilatory, i am trying to forget them.
so far this summer I've read still life with woodpecker by tom robbins and it was fantastic, he is such a charismatic and colorful writer, I can't wait to read even cowgirls get the blues. I just finished ape and essence by aldous huxley and i might have even liked it better than brave new world. it is written like a screenplay which adds an interesting visual aesthetic. i got the nothing nice to say book and read it in about two days, so awesome, so funny. mitch clem rules. now i'm reading the god delusion by richard dawkins and like a velvet glove cast in iron by daniel clowes.
my holga gltr came in the mail yesterday and i've discovered campus camera sells 120mm film for just $7! yaaay. I hope someone will go on a little scenic expedition with me sometime, given VCD homework permits.
I got out of town last weekend and had such a good time. :)
Here is my tentative and abbreviated list of things I want to do this summer-
1. Go to the drive in
2. bike kent to cleve
3. NYC for a minimum of 3 days, maybe after second session of summer classes before fall semester (?)
4. finish that pake build already jeeeez
5. start a webcomic
6. have sophie, mike, mickey and adam all come visit and stay with me
7. obtain a canon d5 Mark II
8. save zelda
9. swim in as many lakes/rivers/streams as possible
10. ace VCD II
11. stay at a B&B
12. visit mickey in columbus
I'm such a sucker for this sappy song
