j'ai froid

Hi.

I'm not digging the way that my fingers are stiff from being cold. It's funny how I refuse to bundle up efficiently; I think perhaps its denial and, of course, a phobia of clothes with sleeves that can't be pulled above the elbows.

In general, the days have just been slipping by with unauthorized sneakiness. It's already the eighth week of 2010. I know this because of my nifty exam count-down paper - I'll show it to you sometime, but right now the numbers on that paper are not quite presentable. *hangs head sadly*

Here are some slice-of-life photos for you...

I've been doing lots of French. I really, really like it. Speaking of which, this is a very nice reference site for foreign language learners: www.languageguide.org At least, the French section is nice, not sure about the other languages.
Been doing basic physical science, which I feel like I should have learned by now. Huh... I find it all intriguing, regardless.
This is my Satorialist book. I have sticky-noted my favorite pictures... this guy makes fashion so fascinating.
Me and Mom rewatched the fourth season of Doctor Who a few weeks ago. Honestly don't know when it was, but I sketched the Tardis into my Moleskine.
Also been doing British Lit, which is a lot harder than I expected... Reading Chaucer was a struggle. Milton, however, I quite enjoyed, and thought it was a pity that they only have an excerpt of Paradise Lost in my textbook.

Hello. :)
And, of course, I've been working. A pic of the dry-erase board that reminds me that I have a job. I have to be reminded because I have short-term memory loss... That may or may not be a joke, depends on who you ask. ;)

Here's to warm weather in the near future. *tinks her hot mug with your hot mug*

joyeux dimanche

The weather was so yummy today.

Here are the promised pics of Sara & Logan at the Athens Library! I actually am posting this!!

The Athens Library is not a particularly attractive location for photographs, I know, but Logan was studying there when we met him. :) Logan and I shot some pics of Sara, and Sara and I shot some pics of Logan...

And they are as follows:


This was Sara's idea. Should have scooted down to the W-Z's, but I think the light was probably not as beautiful:


In these next two of Logan, I couldn't decide which exposure I liked better... What do you think? I love how, in the silhouette, you can see a glint of his wedding band.




You can find the most... interesting items in a library.



That's all for tonight... Maybe I'll keep in touch.

hi again

Hello there! Loooong time, no see. Good lord it's been a long time since I've posted... I'm finding that I can't really think of much to write about; it always seems to be that way. You would think that a million exciting things might have happened between September and February, but besides the usual Christmas festivities and New Years' festivities and work and school, nothing much has been going on.

So on to my pictures. Some of these are from the first day of snow, and some are from the second... Here is two from the first; Quinn's Lego Stormtrooper poses for the camera, and a shot of the only reason I could take pictures out in the falling snow with a nice camera without getting completely drenched.

Here is what is going on below, because I know it's really small. If I were any less lazy I would repair these pictures so that they were larger, alas... Anyway, Quinn saw a tree, he stood under the tree, he shook the trunk, and down came all the snow.
I climbed into the snowy underbrush for this picture. Quinn told me that I was crazy, but ahhh well. I got exactly what I wanted.
There was a fox prowling the night after it snowed. We saw it right before we went to bed, this brown fox with a bushy tail. I had never seen a fox that close. In the morning me and Quinn followed its tracks around - it went practically everywhere.


The snow was pretty deep in some places... and the texture of a cross between powdered, granulated and brown sugar. Yum.



I love this. The trees are so picturesque, like a Christmas card.




Those are my favorites. :) Now I'm off to eat and study!

P.S. I know this will just prove to jinx any efforts, but I have the most honorable intentions of posting some pics I took of Sara & Logan soon. But like I said, jinx jinx jinx. Jinx makes me smile -- anyone ever read the Freddie the Pig stories? :)
