I (usually) sleep at home, but this is where I live


Theory homework on the banks of the Boise River

I call this my "super commuter" look


Zeek and Sammy, two of my housemates

at the end of one of those days

i'm thinking, it feels so random to be here,
in this little city
in the desert...
looking up to a clear sky, a moon
and a host of stars,
a quiver of a moment of faith

i'll take that.

"Someday my prints will come..."

Actually, I am still using up the last of a second roll of film of my exlporations of Boise so I can post cool pics of the city for ya'll to enjoy. Til then, here are a few pictures taken by other folks and posted on flickr, hand-picked by yours truly, for your "touring Boise by internet" pleasure. enjoy.

oh, those Sox

My favorite phrase last year regarding our Red Sox was "The Hunt for Red October," with "red" in the old fashioned font like the B on the baseball caps. And then, wow, what an October it was! But now... it is with great sorrow that I acknowledge the end of of the Red Sox reign as world champs. They fell to the White Sox in the ALDS yesterday, swept in 3 games. Ah, sigh, there's always next year... now, where have I heard that before?

Still, I can't help but grin at the high drama we Bostonians feel for our sports, with a healthy does of cynicsim, of course. To sum it up, here's a quote from the Globe's website : "Certainly, the 2004 Red Sox took us on a ride that we can’t possibly ever expect to enjoy again."

And now, I guess it's "Go White Sox!" Hey, they've been waiting since 1917 for a World Series win, so it's only fair right? :)

obsession

Inspired by cuchillo's and la falda's musings on the subject, here are some quotes I use to psyche myself up for another day of sleep deprivation.

"There's no rest for the wicked
and the righteous don't need it." -my dad.

"to sleep is weak." -magnetic poetry on my fridge.

"Caffeine is cheaper than sleep." -when weighing Coke v.s. nap

"Sleep is for wimps." -today's thought.

"Sleep is a symptom of caffeine deprivation." -Author Unknown

"To Sleep, Perchance to Dream; ay, There's the Rub." -Shakespeare's "Hamlet"

When I told her about my crazy schedule of late, my roommate said, "Welcome to grad school". So it may only be October, but I'm really looking forward to vacation. 'Til then, I guess I'll be chuggin' along... "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..."
