Hello the internet! Although I miss you, our break must continue.
School has started up in earnest, and my classes are all exciting and engaging. It will be a very busy semester indeed. It goes something like: I am a TA, and I am taking printmaking, accelerated Spanish, linguistics, environmental/interdisciplinary science + lab, culture and ethnology (+ fieldwork). Also I live in an old crooked house that was previously occupied by slobs with cats, all of whom left us the housewarming gift of a flea infestation. So on top of itching, class work, supply-buying, and unpacking, I am doing a lot of cleaning and flea bombing, which I hope will begin to slow soon. I just got my gas turned on so I can cook, and acquiring internet access at the house has been a giant adventure of phone calls and UPS tracking, which ended in the discovery that our phone jacks are so outdated that we need a technician to come by to help set up DSL. Viva la crooked 1920s house!
All of which is to say, of course, that I miss you my dears, and I hope I’ll be connected and blogging soon. My RSS reader has never been so sore; has anyone else ever had the five-figure blues?

Click through and take a look at these! Three incredible stories, lots of incredible pictures.
Does anyone know if there are still neighborhoods on stilts in Louisiana? I had a creative writing teacher in high school who was writing about them before many were destroyed in Katrina.
I’m still in the process of dragging things out of boxes and seeing people I haven’t seen in a year. So far the process involves no cable, internet, and no gas for the stove. Hopefully it will all get turned on soon! ‘Til then I’ll be going to class and getting settled, so I may not be around much for the next few days.

Photo of the Day: Hiking by Lake Minnewanka, Melissa Brandts and her husband stopped to take a photo by some rocks. Intrigued by the whirring sounds emanating from the camera, a curious ground squirrel popped into the shot just as the timer expired and the photo was taken.

I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. I recently lived and studied in Paris, France. This summer I lived in Brooklyn and worked at the Center for Book Arts. Now I'm back in Tuscaloosa, studying at the University of Alabama.
