Don't feel like sleeping.
So, instead, I'm watching lame tv and daydreaming over clothing. It's the only thing my brain is capable of at 11:58 PM.
Actually, it's not lame TV. It's six feet under. Nothing like dead people walking around and having conversations with gay religious funeral undertakers. Adorable scruffy haired funeral undertakers with paternal instincts to rival those of a mother bear.
My camera came, and I took a hot picture of a radish.

Finals week....
is finally over!
Actually, it didn't take as long as I thought it was, and it wasn't nearly as hard. The first grades have already started coming in. So far, so good.
I just ordered this camera from Costco. The entire reason I'm buying it is so I don't have to argue with my sister over cameras this summer, since she will be at Stanford and Michigan, and I will be in Lenox, MA. Apparently you can run into Joshua Bell in the woods there, and if I run into Joshua Bell and I don't have a camera.
Well.
Somone's head will roll.
Speaking of cameras, there is such a movement of mechanical cameras and watches in the popular culture. At a rock concert a few weeks ago, the guitarist had the best old camera - it wound and clicked and clacked and had finicky parts that might break if you smacked them hard enough. But at least you could see fissures if it broke instead of just a bug in the system.
He worked it too - he had the gloves and the glazed look.
It must be part of the revival of old stuff - so everyone went through their victorian-esque phase and now we've moved on to... I don't know, the sixties?
Maybe it's just a backlash against not being able to find your phone anymore because of how small they are. OR crappy cell phone pictures.
I ask you: When you can take amazing pictures with these new digital cameras why would you put people through the pain of hundreds of blurry pictures?
And what about watches? Men's watches are big contests for who can have the most gears. They tell the time in several time zones, and do leap years, the exact day of the week.
But they don't make them like that for girls. Not enough room on the feminine wrist, apparently.

Happily Entering the Blogosphere
Hello,
Apparently high rise pants are on the way in. Who knew?
And now that we have that out of the way let me assure you that this is the last you will be hearing about them.
This blog, currently, is going to cover the following topics:
1. Interesting events occuring in my life.
2. Interesting events occuring in other people's lives.
3. Interesting music that someone needs to listen to, somewhere. (Genre is not important, however, rap and country* have to be really damn good)
4. Interesting things found during procrastinating. (other things that are related tp procrastination: writing a blog)
5. And some and sundry very NOT interesting things. But we'll talk about that when we get there.
So for now, with a perspective,
<3
*Jolene is the one exception to the exception, of course.
