I spent the better part of today helping Liza dig her car out of her driveway. Some silly pictures of it can be seen here. Here are some pictures that I took on my way over to Liza's. The light quality was so incredible this morning, it was pretty hard not to take beautiful pictures. Gotta say, these look much much better at full resolution. http://hopers.blogdrive.com/comments?id=73 http://hopers.blogdrive.com/archive/72.html Sat, 15 Jan 2005 03:18:31 GMT Ice beneath my feet Was snow yesterday Nobody shovels anymore http://hopers.blogdrive.com/comments?id=72 http://hopers.blogdrive.com/archive/71.html Fri, 14 Jan 2005 19:03:06 GMT Today is not a day where I'm supposed to have to work. Today is a day for hot chocolate (preferably with marshmallows), a warm bed, my kitty and a good book. Too bad my job doesn't see it that way. Ugh. Hope hates rain. http://hopers.blogdrive.com/comments?id=71 http://hopers.blogdrive.com/archive/70.html Mon, 10 Jan 2005 23:46:52 GMT MMmmmm... I loves my new camera.... http://hopers.blogdrive.com/comments?id=70 http://hopers.blogdrive.com/archive/69.html Sat, 08 Jan 2005 04:51:54 GMT So my housemate woke me up bright and early to tell me that I had a little bundle of joy waiting for me. And by that, I mean that the Fed Ex guy had brought my new digital camera. Gotta say it made my day. JP handed me a CF card and told me that I had to go outside and take pictures and that I wasn't allowed back inside until it was totally full. I took 75 pictures in about 14 seconds. Or twenty minutes. Something like that. I emptied my CF card twice this morning. Over 150 pics in all. Here are a few of them (gotta say, they look much better at full resolution): Bathtub...

On the one hand, I don't think that it's the best idea to focus too heavily on one day. I mean, really, it's just one out of 364. I feel the same way about birthdays and holidays. And, at the same time, I am ridiculously obsessed with birthdays and holidays. I think that it's important to take time during the year to see where you've come from and see where you're heading and take stock of whether or not you're where you want to be. If that seems a bit hypocritical to you, it's because it is... That's why I said that I had mixed feelings,...

Oh yeah, and I guess I got my toenails painted too. http://hopers.blogdrive.com/comments?id=66 http://hopers.blogdrive.com/archive/65.html Thu, 30 Dec 2004 06:17:54 GMT (reposted from my posting on chirographum.net) So, my mom's side of the family went to Jamaica for Christmas (that would be; my mom, my sisters, my sister's boyfriend, my step-dad, my step-granddad, my step-aunt and my uncle, my step-brother and my step-sister). My step-granddad rented a villa and they all sat around and drank margharitas and went snorkelling and got contact highs because they were in fucking Jamaica. I stayed in Boston and worked with disadvantaged youth and shovelled my dad's sidewalk when it snowed. But I'm not bitter. No, not I. Who needs a tropical vacation...
