it is finally over

first snow

This winter's first snow seems to have brought out some poetry to our rather bleak block. At night the Christmas lights really make the block warm and surprisingly elegant, against all odds.

Oh yeah Christmas!

merry christmas no irony

okay I know this is corny, but christmas is corny and this year I am embracing my entire corny self, no shame. So this is my first Christmas tree since I left home, and D's first ever and I am in love with how misshapen it is, it actually has a little cave and I love the way the ornaments kind of set into it, some of the angels actually look like they are flying. Someone stop me...

somethings I am working on

summer reading has inspired me to write a little something

I am on this total nautical trip, with having just read for the first time Huckelberry Finn, Kidnapped, and now the Heart of Darkness. I can't get enough of reading Twain I was captured by they way he describes the Mississippi and its inhabitants and Hucks relationship with Jim. Conrad: I started that story many times, and I finally have the attention span for it, and I am blown away. I always heard what a wit Twain was but not Conrad. He is like a jaded war correspondent. It is like the part in Kidnapped when David the protagonist ask the doctor why he is on such a disreputable ship, and he says, "no story just the fun of it." That is life on the ocean for you. Keep in mind I hate riding in boats, and would never entertain the idea of sailing. I am a land lubber, and in fact crave the desert. But these sailors are exciting beings.
