og hér ert Þú...



Last Sunday a wonderful coffee place opened a short trek from my house. I have been there every day since then... sometimes more than once.

They know my name already.



Also,

I have two months of school left. That feels incredible.
Also, I'm still taking thousands of photos all the time. They exist at least, and I promise you'll get to see some soon. Things are just ein bischen chaotisch lately.



Also,

even though it's April now, we got 8 inches of snow yesterday.




Also,

I can't concentrate on anything.




Also,

it's national poetry writing month in Amerika and I've been writing little pieces on every scrap of paper I can get.

You probably won't see any of those.





Much love,

-Joe

person: So how was your evening?




self: I was almost killed by someone running a red light, was yelled at at work when I wasn't even working, was forced to sit through an hour of being told that people like me were caused by original sin (I've never felt so close to crying in public), was turned down by a boy and forced to consider how foolish I'd acted for the last month, and finally spilled milk all over myself while staying up all night long to work on an essay I couldn't care less about after 4 nights of 3 hours of sleep, collapsing somewhere between the brink of death and my alarm clock buzz. And I lost my favorite pen.








person: ....... so......?




self: You know what? In all honesty, it was a really good night...



person: huh...

Decided it was time to throw down some new CSS, and was pleased with myself that I could remember (after some effort) how to code. It's been about a year and a half since I seriously coded anything at all I think, maybe a little less...


Tell me what you think.

I bought a film camera this weekend, hope to soon have some pictures up here to show you, and am working on lots of new art, and have lots more sitting around waiting to be submitted...


I was encouraged the other day when it snowed a few inches in the morning, but was gone by the time I left work. It's getting nicer all the time here, and my spring fingers are tingling.

I've got three months of school left and I've got a feeling I'll be spending more time making art and less time doing schoolwork in a linear gradient until... BAM graduation. Then we'll see.


Lots to look forward to,

lots to remember fondly,

I think I might be manic depressive a little, but without the depression... rather, peaceful apathy? Not depression, gladly. Learning more every day, staying in the sunlight, letting others inspire me, I'm doing well.
