it is still winter despite a temperature increase yesterday that allowed almost *all* of the ice to finally melt off the sidewalks. it was wonderful to be able to walk home quickly without fear of sliding on a sly patch of ice. in the land of car culture, the roads are cleared fairly quickly, but not the sidewalks. nope. walking has been terrifying lately. one’s choice is to walk in the street which is also terrifying. people become monsters in their cars, i’m afraid. i see it every day.
it seems sleep is the most interesting activity to me this week, although we did go to 2-for-1 at liberty hall last night to see Pan’s Labyrinth. it was brutal and fanciful. very wonderful. i was surprised to find that i barely needed the subtitles. as i am taking no class this semester, i meant to read in Spanish and study art history independently. but am i doing it? no. i am sleeping.
i keep thinking it would be nice to go out this weekend and make some pictures, play with new(old) cameras. i long to see something *different*. but i know exactly what i would see.
